I am now working on a small C project on console. I hope that it can run on Windows, Mac OS, Linux consoles. However, I found that ncurses isn't available on Windows while PDcurses isn't available for Windows.

So is there any console library that supports both Windows and Unix? Or how can I compile ncurses projects for windows?

CodePudding user response：

ncurses and PDCurses are both implementations of the curses standard. They are mostly compatible. Just write to the standard (and don't dip into the terminfo-level stuff), and you should be fine. If necessary, you can #ifdef small sections of code to deal separately with each library. You don't need the exact same curses library running on all platforms, any more than you need the same C compiler or standard library.
