[Python-Dev] Issue2889: Add Curses for Windows as native module for 2.6 (original) (raw)

As for PDCurses library itself there is a Makefile in PDCurses distribution for Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0+ named vcwin32.mak I can't afford buying Visual Studio to test if it works with newer versions, but logically Visual Studio should be able to convert Makefile to a newer format.

Visual Studio 2008 Express is free of charge; so you should be able to work on this with that release.

So even if can test and script Python part I am afraid I need help from someone with experience of Python+Make+Visual Studio.

Then there is little chance that the patch gets accepted. I will have zero time for this until the beta release, unless the patch just needs to be applied, compiles without changes, and passes it the test suite.

Regards, Martin
