Rephrasing a previous post, I appreciate the responses, but the question
was not exactly answered (or I didn't get it).
I want to use cygwin to compile a test ncurses program so it runs in a
dos terminal, independent of cygwin. Windows 7 / 64 bit PC. Installed 32
bit cygwin, everything, to d:\cygwin\. Ran cygwin mintty terminal:
------------------------------------------------------------
$ cat ncurses.c
// http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/helloworld.html
#include <curses.h>
int main()
{
initscr(); /* Start curses mode */
printw("Hello World !!!"); /* Print Hello World */
refresh(); /* Print it on to the real screen */
getch(); /* Wait for user input */
endwin(); /* End curses mode */
return 0;
}
------------------------------------------------------------
# Compiles and runs perfectly under cygwin, no surprise.
$ gcc ncurses.c -lncurses
$ ./a.exe # runs perfectly
# Found /usr/x86_64-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/lib/libncurses.a
# Will this let me compile for dos window? Apparently not.
$ i686-pc-mingw32-gcc -I /usr/x86_64-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/include/
ncurses.c -L /usr/x86_64-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/lib/ -lncurses
... undefined reference to `initscr'
... more "undefined reference" error messages
------------------------------------------------------------
My questions:
1) Did I make a compile-line syntax error? Is there a variation of the
i686-pc-mingw32-gcc command line so I can use cygwin to compile
ncurses.c to run in dos window, independent of cygwin?
2) If not, to compile ncurses.c to run in dos window, independent of
cygwin, do I have to set up the ncurses library myself?
I tried to get an answer from the docs, it seems unclear.
Thanks,
Daniel
