I can compile pdcurses3.4 but can't compile curse3.6

[Asimov500]

I am using the mingw compiler with codeblocks and when I try to compile I get these error messages. How do I solve this problem? I have using gcc.exe (tdm-1) 5.1.0 of the compiler which is quite current I think.

Duplicate of #41

[Asimov500]

I don't see this as a duplicate as I am using codeblocks and the other post is using MSVC. Also I am not sure why this or the other question has been closed, because the issue has not been solved. The issue is that it is impossible to compile pdcurses 3.6 with codeblocks. So if the issue is not solved, then why is it being closed?

[wmcbrine]

It's a different compiler, but it's the same cause. Possibly I should've linked directly to #28, which is also the same, but based on MinGW. Discussion is there.

BTW, gcc 5.1 may be current as far as CodeBlocks is concerned, but mainstream gcc is at 8.2. That isn't actually the problem here, but the problem is similar -- outdated libraries.

[prostouri]

I apologize for the machine translation and poor knowledge and CVD and do. Thanks in advance for any help. Here's the question. Can't compile PDCurses-3.8 using MinGW compiler latest version. While typing drew attention to the date of the last update using MinGW. Maybe that's the problem. c:\pdcurses\wincon>make-f makefile
