   I come with my first post and a question.
  As well as a few nifty little notes about myself.I'm fourteen years old with an IQ varying from 1 to 845.  I took up learning C++ at the age of eleven or twelve, I am entirely unsure, but I really don't know much for having known it for two or three years.  Far as programming goes, I also know limited Visual Basic and I'm completely unable to use SDL because I'm cursed.  I'm a writer as well.And now to my question.  I'm making this game demo, right?  And I want to use the curses method to clear the screen.  I get some funky linker errors that I can't fix simply by changing the Linker parameters, so I don't know what to do.  When I DO try that, it tells me Dev-C++ tried to do an illegal operation and must be stopped by the law.  Couple examples:[Linker error] undefined reference to `initscr' In the code, indeed.[Linker error] undefined reference to `stdscr' Not in my code.So that's that.Hello again, hope I don't come off as anything negative to ye fine people and I hope my problem's not hopeless.   
  I take it you are coding in a *nix environment with curses installed?EDIT: And are you actually linking to the libs?;  Oh, er, sorry, forgot my platform and all that. >_<I'm unfortunately runnning Windows XP using some port of Curses.  I'm not quite sure what you mean by am I sure I'm linking it, but I am #including it.   ;Quote:I'm fourteen years old with an IQ varying from 1 to 845.What a coincidence, I'm somewhere from 1 to 845 years old with an IQ of 14!I can't help you on your question though :(   ;  That's your problem.  Including it just declares the functions, datatypes, etc., that come with with the library.  They are actually defined in the library (where ever that may be).  The library will be a .lib file... If you have a curses directory, it is probably in a directory under that called "lib".  If it is a dynamically linked library (with a DLL), you need to make sure htat the DLL is in the path (either in /windows/system32 or add it to the path in My Computer->Properties->Advanced).You probably add the lib to the project under project settings or something... I've never used Dev-C++ so I couldn't say.   ;  For what its worth, a google search for "Dev-c++ add libraries" led me to this page.  YOu should probably do the exact same thing just using your libs instead of SDL...Quote:#  Under the Project menu, select Project Options.# Click the Parameters tab, and in the Linker textbox enter "-lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -lSDL_mixer" (without the quotes) then click Ok.    * NOTE: If you do not want the console window to appear when your program runs, you will need to add -mwindows to the end of your linker string! ;  Bah, I hadn't extracted the library.EDIT: IT LIIIIIVES.MY PROJECT LIIIIIIIIVES.Thanks for the help guys.[Edited by - Tarsir on June 23, 2006 8:48:31 PM]
