Curses + Mouse control

Okay, I'm going to get a linux box soon, I swear. However, in the mean time I'm still experimenting with curses. However the web seems short on example programs, so I've fiddled with the documentation and came up with a program that works. however, using PDCurses there have been certain things that don't uite match the documentation that I had to do. I expected it to look something like this:

Code:

---

#include <curses.h>

int main () {
  int input;
  MEVENT mouseinput;

  initscr();
  raw (); nodelay(stdscr,1); noecho(); curs_set(0); nonl(); keypad(stdscr,1);
  mousemask (ALL_MOUSE_EVENTS, NULL);

  mvprintw (0,30, "Press q to quit");
  refresh();

  do { // A nasty 100% resource hogging loop, I know. Sorry about that.
    input = wgetch(stdscr);

    if (input == KEY_MOUSE) {
      getmouse (&mouseinput);
      mvprintw (11, 30, "  x = %d  y = %d  ", mouseinput.x, mouseinput.y);
      mvaddch (mouseinput.y, mouseinput.x, 'X');
      refresh ();
    }

  } while (input != 'q');

  endwin ();
}

---

and instead I needed to tweak it and came up with:

Code:

---

#include <curses.h>

int main () {
  int input;
  MEVENT mouseinput;

  initscr();
  raw (); nodelay(stdscr,1); noecho(); curs_set(0); nonl(); keypad(stdscr,1);
  mousemask (ALL_MOUSE_EVENTS, NULL);

  mvprintw (0,30, "Press q to quit");
  refresh();

  do { // A nasty 100% resource hogging loop, I know. Sorry about that.
    input = wgetch(stdscr);
    nc_getmouse (&mouseinput); // nc_ is for NCurses compatability, I guess.
    mvprintw (11, 30, "  x = %d  y = %d  ", mouseinput.x, mouseinput.y);
    // Aparently moving the mouse isn't a KEY_MOUSE event

    if (input == KEY_MOUSE) { // KEY_MOUSE is only clicks, so an X will be drawn
      mvaddch (mouseinput.y, mouseinput.x, 'X');
    }  // No refresh? Nope, works without it. Shouldn't, but it does.

  } while (input != 'q');

  endwin ();
}

So would anyone be willing to help me out here. Do these programs work in a linux environment and what tweaking was necessary to make it work. If it's too difficult to write mouse handling code that's cross-platform compatible I'll just have to forget about it.
