PDCurses for SDL 2.x
This is a port of PDCurses for version 2.x of SDL (aka SDL2).
Building
-
On *nix (including Linux and Mac OS X), run "make" in the sdl2 directory. There is no configure script (yet?) for this port. This assumes a working sdl-config, and GNU make. It builds the library libpdcurses.a (dynamic lib not implemented).
-
With MinGW, edit the Makefile to point to the appropriate include and library paths, and then run "make".
-
The makefile recognizes the optional PDCURSES_SRCDIR environment variable, and the option "DEBUG=Y", as with the console ports. "WIDE=Y" builds a version that not only uses 16-bit Unicode characters, but depends on the SDL2_ttf library, instead of using simple bitmap fonts. "UTF8=Y" makes PDCurses ignore the system locale, and treat all narrow-character strings as UTF-8; this option has no effect unless WIDE=Y is also set.
