R: [GRASS-windows] Troubles with curses / Eclipse

["Peter Löwe"]

Dear Marco,

thanks fpr ypur feedback.

I assume it's a configuration/path/SystemVariables-related issue.

Within Eclipse/CDT several toolchains can be used, including MinGW/Msys (which i am using, too). I'm dabbling with Eclipse as it is a pretty good IDE for coding in large projects (as GRASS surely is).

> cd ..
> install -m 644 curses.h /usr/local/include

Yes, that was done. Twice.

I keep trying to solve the problem.

Cheers,
Peter
