How to use the CDK library for PdCurses in CodeBlocks?

问题

I've successfully installed and used PdCurses in CodeBlocks. Now, as I am trying to finish the Ncurses tutorial, I've read the last part said that there is a utility library which is the CDK that will help make curses apps easier by providing pr-emade dialog console boxes.

I just want to ask on how could I install the CDK library for PDCurses, since it was originally for Ncurses.

Thanks!!

CDK works fine with PDCurses and MinGW. Since you mentioned CodeBlocks I'm guessing that's what you're using. There are no special steps to compile it in this environment:

1. Download the CDK source package
2. Run MSYS console and do `configure; make' in the source root
3. Copy the resulting libcdk.a file and the header files to somewhere nice that your compiler and/or IDE can find them.
4. Copy the manpages somewhere nice (I personally use the Cygwin man command under Windows).
5. Compile one of the test programs, e.g. buttonbox_ex.c

For reference I used this command to compile one of the examples to verify the library is working:

gcc -Wall -o buttonbox_ex buttonbox_ex.c -lcdk -lpdcurses
