ncurses problem with mvcur function
I have a very old game that uses ncurses. I read the file /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ncurses.README and added -I /usr/include/ncurses to the compile commands I am using 5.7-18 of ncurses I added every package with ncurses in the package name in the Devel, Libs, and Utils Categories The error is: gcc -std=c99 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -O3 -pipe -D"USE_X11" -D"USE_GCU" -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/ncurses -c -o main-gcu.o main-gcu.c main-gcu.c: In function `Term_xtra_gcu_alive': main-gcu.c:603: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type main-gcu.c:603: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type main-gcu.c: In function `Term_nuke_gcu': main-gcu.c:739: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type main-gcu.c:739: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type make: *** [main-gcu.o] Error 1 lines 602-603 are /* this moves curses to bottom right corner */ mvcur(curscr->_cury, curscr->_curx, LINES - 1, 0); lines 738-739 are the same as above. This program use to compile with Cygwin 1.5 I would like top compile this old game, any hints on how?

Hello Charles Thank you, the old game now compiles OK.

Instead of accessing the members of curscr directly, you use accessor functions: curscr->_cury ---> getcury(curscr) curscr->_curx ---> getcurx(cursrc) -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
