#28252 [Opn]: ncurses support without a cygwin install.

ID: 28252 User updated by: testic at testic dot demon dot co dot uk Reported By: testic at testic dot demon dot co dot uk Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Win32 PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: Well, unfortunatley compiling with Cygwin is a bit beyond me. However I would still like to make this a formal request, admittedly for a feature not many other people would need. But still, there we have.

However, I dont want the users required to have a fullblown cygwin install (this is fiddly at best, and win32 users....). I have seen applications written in C for Unix that make use of cygwin.dll and/or cygwindevo.dll, presumably to get Unix-like functionality on Windows, however I have been unable to make any use of this with PHP. So really my request could be summarised thus: Ncurses functioning 'natively' under Win32, without the need for cygwin, preferably implemented using an extension dll as per other PHP extensions in Windows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28252&edit=1
