Has anybody tried to use pccurs13.arc ? I got this file from SIMTEL20. I have a hard time compiling it using MSC 5.1. In the supplied makefile.msc it has CFLAGS= -M$(MODEL) -Ox -W3 -c I'm not sure with older version of MSC, but I think it has to be : CFLAGS= /A$(MODEL) /Ox /W3 /c This is the first time I use make file in IBM so I'm still strugling. I might end up asking *you* the compiled version.

I thought for pccurses, you need to use something beside the MAKE
from MSC. And I thought the package come with a file called MAKE.UU
which you can uudecode (may be on unix) to get MAKE.EXE which should
then be used in place of MSC's MAKE to make the pccurses library.

When pccurses 1.3 was distributed, there was some confusion. At the time I did not have reliable News access, so a friend in the US helped me. I sent him the arc'ed files, and he then submitted them for posting in comp.sources.misc. My understanding is that on the way, he did some changes to the makefiles. However, the above command lines are correct and should work. The old 4.0 release had both a UNIX-like compiler driver called CL.EXE, and a more MessDOS-worthy version called MSC.EXE (I talk here about the small control programs that start the compiler passes). In the manual appendix about the 4.0 CL command, it was stated that '-' could be used instead of '/', and -M<model> is a synonym for -A<model>. This convention has been carried over to 5.1 (although, admittedly I cannot find any mention about it by scanning the MSC5.1 manual briefly. But I *never* use '/' in my make files - I have redefined the DOS switch character so I can use '/' to specify file name pathes.) But more importantly, you CANNOT use the MicroSoft MAKE.EXE program to compile pccurses. It is completely brain-dead, requiring that the order of makefile statements follow the order of dependency. In the README file there is a warning about this. In the distribution there *should* be an executable + manual file for a UNIX-compatible MAKE utility, which works with the sources and makefiles. Unfortunately, I really don't know it the MAKE and the README file got through in original form. Admittedly, my original makefiles were rather complex - as part of making, MAKE will re-execute itself with the same makefile but with new targets. This was a way to easily maintain different memory models, and is hard to explain in words. I think my note in the README fie went something like 'just sit back and watch it happen' - not so easy when it doesn't happen! The bottom line: Send me a note and I'll mail you the MAKE utility and the makefiles (damn it, it DOES work for me...). -- ====================== InfoVox = Speech Technology ======================= Bjorn Larsson, INFOVOX AB : ...seismo!mcvax!kth!sunic!infovax!bl Box 2503 : bl@infovox.se S-171 02 Solna, Sweden : Phone (+46) 8 735 80 90

IMHO, the makefile for this package is about as stringent a test of a make program as you can find. I tried Microsoft Make, Borland Make and a public domain Make and they all failed miserably. With NDMake, I had to prepend "-" to some of the commands (mostly the chmods I think) since they seem to exit with non-zero status for some reason I never worked out - otherwise it works Richard Brittain, School of Elect.

In the copy I retrieved from SIMTEL20, there was no make exe although the README stated that there should be one. I only wanted small model with codeview debugging turned on. This required eleminating the recursive make. I also added color attributes, although that could stand some cleaning up. -- Paul Moody UUCP: rutgers!cscnj!paul Computer Sciences Corporation # the opinions expressed are entirely imaginary #
