[Caml-list] ocaml-curses for Windows

[José Romildo Malaquias]

Hello.

I am looking for an Ocaml curses library that works in Windows.

Does anybody know if ocaml-curses works in Windows with pdcurses?

I am writing the lambda-term library which is a curses library that
works on Unix and Windows:

  https://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/lambda-term/

It is not yet released but it is already usable.

Thanks for the link.

How should lambda-term be compiled? What pre-requisites are needed?

The pre-requisites are the following:

- lwt: http://ocsigen.org/lwt/
- camomile: http://camomile.sourceforge.net/
- zed: http://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/zed/

To compile the development version, you need to get oasis
(http://oasis.forge.ocamlcore.org/), and run:

$ oasis setup
$ ocaml setup.ml -configure
$ ocaml setup.ml -build
$ ocaml setup.ml -install

It's not exactly curses, but in ocamlnet there are a number of bindings
for console functions:

https://godirepo.camlcity.org/svn/lib-ocamlnet2/trunk/code/src/netsys/netsys_win32.mli

Look for has_console and the following functions. These should give you
full control over the console screen.
