Hi Luis, Please keep the discussion on the list, for all the reasons described at http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PPIOSPE. > As they say on the documentation I wrote this program: > > #include <ncurses.h> > int main() > { > initscr(); /* Start curses mode */ > printw("Hello World !!!"); /* Print Hello World */ > refresh(); /* Print it on to the real screen */ > getch(); /* Wait for user input */ > endwin(); /* End curses mode */ > > return 0; > } > > I compile it with: gcc Hello.c -lncurses > > But I got the folowing error messages: > > /tmp/ccnsdh1e.o:Hello.c:(.text+0x3c): undefined reference to `_stdscr' > /tmp/ccnsdh1e.o:Hello.c:(.text+0x49): undefined reference to `_stdscr' That's peculiar, it shouldn't have worked at all. The "ncurses.h" file doesn't live in /usr/include directly, but in a subdir called /usr/include/ncurses, so with your #include statement as you have it there, I get: > $ gcc h.c -lncurses > h.c:1:21: error: ncurses.h: No such file or directory when I try to compile your example. If I change the example to #include "ncurses/ncurses.h", I get a fully working compile. It seems possible you have a bogus ncurses.h in your /usr/include, for some reason? You should make sure you have installed the regular cygwin libncurses-devel package (using setup.exe) to get the ncurses headers and link libraries (maybe you should try reinstalling it even if you do already have it). cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
