8--------

10. Choose the appropriate makefile for your compiler:
11
12 bccdos.mak - Borland C++ 3.0+
13 gccdos.mak - DJGPP V2
14 mscdos.mak - Microsoft C
15 wccdos16.mak - Watcom 10.6+ (16-bit)
16 wccdos4g.mak - Watcom 10.6+ (32-bit)
17
18. For 16-bit compilers, you can change the memory MODEL in the makefile.
19 (Large model is the default, and recommended.)
20
21. Optionally, you can build in a different directory than the platform
22 directory by setting PDCURSES_SRCDIR to point to the directory where
23 you unpacked PDCurses, and changing to your target directory:
24
25 set PDCURSES_SRCDIR=c:\pdcurses
26
27. Build it:
28
29 make -f makefile
30
31 (For Watcom, use "wmake" instead of "make"; for MSVC, "nmake".) You'll
32 get the libraries (pdcurses.lib or .a, depending on your compiler; and
33 panel.lib or .a), the demos (*.exe), and a lot of object files. Note
34 that the panel library is just a copy of the main library, provided
35 for convenience; both panel and curses functions are in the main
36 library.
