Thread: Using getch()

I am familiar with using getch() in a windows C compiler, but am having trouble while using it in gcc. I am attempting to use it to have my program wait for an enter keystroke, this is very easy to do in windows, all I need to do is include conio.h and add getch() to my code. In linux I did a 'man getch' and read that I must instead include curses.h, which I did. If I use getch() in my linux code I get quite a few errors. What can I use to have my program wait until it gets an enter keystroke?

What errors do you get?
Compile errors (don't forget to include the curses library) or runtime errors?

How did you compile, did you include the curses library while compiling? Like:
cc main.c -o main -lcurses
Just including curses.h is not going to help you at all, you also need to link with the appropriate library, which in your case is the 'curses'.
