I have been trying to install PDcurses on my Windows 10 machine. The README.md says to run: make -f Makefile to build pdcures.dll in the 'wincon' folder. However when i ran this in Powershell it did not create any .dll, instead creating many .o files.
Then i tried to run 'make -f Makefile.wcc' in Powershell and it returned the error 'makefile.wcc:9: *** missing separator. Stop.' I got similar errors using Makefile.bcc and Makefile.vc. What am i doing wrong here? Am i supposed to build one of the .c files?
Each of the Makefiles is compiler-specific, as described in the README.md. There's no reason to try Makefiles intended for compilers other than the one you're using.
The Makefile doesn't build a DLL, by default -- only a static library (ending in .a or .lib). PDCurses is a small library, and there's not much benefit in building it as a DLL. But if you want to, that procedure is also described in the README.md. In short:
make DLL=Y
but please read the file for details. Note that, even if you build PDCurses as a DLL, you'll still also need the .a or .lib file to link against.
