Hi guys,
I'm trying to use the pdcurses library with the latest DLL (3.5) which I compiled myself, but it doesn't seem to work with it as it produces strange behaviour. I tried compiling with MSVC and MinGW-W64 gcc, but there is no difference
But it works with the DLL's provided on the Nim website: https://nim-lang.org/install_windows.html
Does anyone know what compiler was used to compile the official DLL's and what flags were used?
Specs:
Thanks
For anyone interested in this topic, PDCurses 3.5 made some changes on the Windows platform. By default version 3.5 switches to it's own buffer while running, then when the application exits it reverts back to the default buffer, which clears the contents of it's buffer from the screen.
This means if you are testing a few printw calls, you will see nothing on the screen if you do not add a sleep or wait for key press routine at the end of your program.
