[MPRDB] Compiling for Windows using MinGW

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.misc (More info?)

Since I saw there wasn't Windows binary I thought I would try to
building one using MinGW. heh the hardest part was installing MinGW

Anyway, here are the errors I get. I'm not familiar with compiling
software, but I have done it a few times in the past on Linux. I
haven't gone through this output in detail yet so I bet I'm missing a
few things as indicated on the first two lines.

Thanks for any help with the errors.

kewl. the package is called pdcurses and is on the MinGW SourceForge
site. I did have to copy curses.h to ncurses.h so the first errors are
gone. Now I'm getting these and I cannot make heads or tails out of them.

it should be using curses.h instead of ncruses.h for portability.
when ncurses installs it creates a symlink to curses.h so curses.h
will always work regardless of ncurses, pdcurses, curses or or other
curses implementations.

-Wwrite-strings is bad too -Wall -Werrror -std=c99 -Wpedantic are
all that should be required..
