   curses.h
  Our teacher gave us a homework to do and the homework includes "curses.h".I know that it works with linux but i use visual c++ and want to do homework with it.Becasue i do not have linux on my PC.How can i do it?   
  curses.h sounds like its part of some ncurses library (which on Linux is used for console cursor manipulation). I believe you might have access to conio.h from Visual Studio that can do similar things, or you can use the Windows API console manipulation commands. However, this means you won't be able to directly use your code for your assignment, obviously.You could consider installing cygwin, which should give you the curses library, but you may have to use gcc from within cygwin to compile.   ;Quote:Original post by ksintathOur teacher gave us a homework to do and the homework includes "curses.h".I know that it works with linux but i use visual c++ and want to do homework with it.Becasue i do not have linux on my PC.How can i do it?I found this curses implementation for Win32.Alternatively, you could download Cygwin as jpetrie suggested.   ;  First i thank you for your helps.But i couldn't find what to do.I read your links but they do not tell how to add the library to visaul c++? My project includes curses.h functions like move(),refresh()...And i have to find a way to do them in VIsual,Because compiling in linux is very boring and time killing:( vi,make,./mafsdlkfla .I have to do it in VIsual c++.Can you give me more help?   ;  Im a windows fan so I feel you. But the matter of the fact is you better get used to doing your assignments on the linux machines, since about half or more will be based in linux envirmoments.  Its not worth the efforst in fighting them, especially when you will have to start demoing your projects on linux machines and implementing linux specif things.  So either go down to the lab and get used to it, or install linux on a second partition. Sorry - but that is the cold hard truth!
