How to install pdcurses

Question

I have been trying to install pdcurses for a long while, so I decided to just finally ask it on stack overflow.

Computer: windows 7

Language: C

Program: code::blocks

Compiler: MinGW: GNU GCC Compiler

Library: PDCurses 3.4

Is there any step by step guide to install the PDCurses library?

I have already tried using the console to make .a file, but I get an error after using the

"mingw32-make -f mingwin32.mak" command.

C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\pdcurs34\win32>mingw32-make -f mingwin32.mak
mingwin32.mak:14: C:\Program: No such file or directory

mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target '(x86)\CodeBlocks\pdcurs34/makedist.mif

Thanks in advance

It looks like mingwin32.mak has a problem with directories that have a space in them. Try putting the lbrary in a directory without a space. – interjay
