g++ conio.h: no such file or directory

Question

I\'m trying to write a program with g++ that uses conio.h header. What I\'m actually trying to do is calling gotoxy function which I used in Borlan

Answer 1

There's no direct equivalent for g++. conio.h is specific to some DOS compilers. But you can get what you want using ncurses library, its functions are similar to ones in conio.h.

Here's a link to a very elaborate tutorial: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/
