There is a third option!

(3) specify the include directory at compile time (in the Makefile),
    and the library directory at link time, e.g.:

    gcc -c -O -I\djgpp\contrib\pdcurses testcurs.c
    gcc -o testcurs testcurs.o -L\djgpp\contrib\pdcurses -lcurses

This way you won't have to clobber the standard directories,
and also you don't have to mess with djgpp.env.
But either of the 3 methods works. Choose one that suits you best.

Pieter.
