how to properly set up a library?

<< < (4/6) > >>

blueeyedlion:
This is where I got it:

pdcurses.sourceforge.net

blueeyedlion:
Is there anything at all that I could try?

Someone must have had this problem before.

ouch:
I checked the precompiled library files, and it doesn't look like there are any for gcc or mingw. (all the dll's come .lib files, gcc/mingw dll's usually come with .a files)

If so you will have to build one yourself.

this file seems to be the source:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdcurses/files/pdcurses/3.4/pdcurs34.zip/download

But i would just download the trunk from the svn repository for the latest source code.

but the directions to build it are in the win32 folder called README.

if you have troubles with that go to their forums and post a message. Once done, replace the library you have now with the new one you just made.

Note: With this library I would probably statically link it instead of dynamically anyway.

blueeyedlion:
After looking into this a bit, it seems horribly complicated.  Is there some easier way to get pdcurses working?  Maybe switching compilers or something?  If there isn't an easier way, perhaps there is a step by step guide out there that someone could point me to?

oBFusCATed:
I think gcc/mingw can use .lib directly (probably try -lmylib.lib), if it can there is a way to convert .lib to .a.
Search the net for the details, because I don't remember how it has to be done (I've done it long time ago for the opengl libs).
