I've covered SDL and FLTK based applications. Now I'd like to discuss pdcurses and ncurses based ones. ncurses is found on many POSIX systems especially Linux. pdcurses was used primarily on DOS and Windows systems. Support for X and SDL was later added. The X support uses some legacy functions, so it doesn't build well on modern Linux systems. However, the SDL support allows pdcurses to be ported to any system that supports the SDL library. That means it can run on systems like Syllable and Haiku not just POSIX systems with X Windows. ncurses worked only on POSIX systems for a long time, but more recently support was added for Windows and MinGW32. <br /><br /><b>(<a href="https://lmemsm.dreamwidth.org/459.html">Read more ...</a>)</b><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lmemsm&ditemid=459" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
