Hi,
Decided to be brave and try compiling some games ncurses games (which compile fine on Linux and Cygwin) using DJGPP's PDCurses. DJGPP works fine for non-curses programs, but I keep getting "cannot find -lpdcurses" errors. Anyone familiar with this issue?
Thanks,

djgpp is saying it can't find the library you have presumably already compiled for pdcurses. Add the lib directory to your lib path, use a fully qualified location on the link line, or copy the lib and it's header into the link location of your main program.

Hi,
I was able to compile some of those ncurses programs, modifications were needed for pdcurses, 8x3 filenames, etc.
I had to add
"C:\DJGPP\LIB"
to the PATH like you said, but had to link to:
"-lpdc~1"
instead of -lpdcurses
I was able to compile (list includes non-curses games):
1. atrogue (obscure new roguelike)
2. ESR's Battleship
3. Crazy Eights (unknown author, downloaded from Freshmeat I think)
4. hodie (Latin date/time)
5. Nibbles (by Luke Th. Bullock and Nils Magnus Englund)
6. ESR's Wumpus
7. ESR's Superhack
I'm new to this forum - given the name of the forum, I was wondering if posting FOSS sources and binaries or freeware/unregistered shareware programs was allowed here.
