Undefined reference when using ncurses on linux

Question

I\'m trying to start developing a program using ncurses on Linux. I can\'t even get the Hello World example to compile. Here\'s the code:

#include 

        

Answer 1

Have you used the -lcurses option when linking?

Including the header files let the code compile (because the compiler knows what the function call looks like from the .h file), but the linker needs the library file to find the actual code to link into your program.
