Hello Mike, for MinGW or MinGW-w64, pdcurses is a good choice which worked the last time when I tried it. If you generate binaries which support both curses and SDL, you have to set SDL_STDIO_REDIRECT=no in the environment - otherwise the curses output will be sent to a file (no screen output)! MinGW or MinGW-w64 (which is better) both can be used native or for cross development. Cygwin is not supported and will currently fail. Cheers, Stefan Weil
