Hi, i'm new in programming with DJGPP....

i would like to ask how can i use the curses emulator
in DJGPP under DOS?? (i'm using C instead of C++)

for example, i can compile and run the following prorgram
perfectly under UNIX....

---------------------------------
#include <curses.h>

int main(void) {
    initscr();
    clear();
    printw("Hello World\n");
    refresh();
    endwin();
    return 0;
}
---------------------------------

but in DOS with DJGPP...it says...

c:/djgpp/tmp/ccGjSiIn.o(.text+0x1f):temp.c: undefined reference to
`_initscr'
c:/djgpp/tmp/ccGjSiIn.o(.text+0x24):temp.c: undefined reference to
`_stdscr'

`_wrefresh'
c:/djgpp/tmp/ccGjSiIn.o(.text+0x74):temp.c: undefined reference to
`_endwin'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

What wrong is going on???
Should i put some flags in the compile command?? (like "-lcurses" in
UNIX)
Can you all kindly help me???
Thx a lot!!!
