How about the following extermely inefficient but portable POSIX kbdhit 
(includes testcase)?

I have no idea what getch() Philippe is referring to, but probably not
the one that's typically provided by (n)curses.

----- cut from here to end.

/* kbdhit.c */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <termios.h>

#ifndef STDIN_FILENO
# define STDIN_FILENO 0
#endif

int 
kbdhit ()
{
  struct termios save_termios;
  struct termios ios;
  int c;

  if (tcgetattr (STDIN_FILENO, &save_termios) < 0)
    return EOF;
  
  ios = save_termios;
  ios.c_lflag &= ~(ICANON | ECHO);
  ios.c_cc[VMIN] = 1;
  ios.c_cc[VTIME] = 0;

  if (tcsetattr (STDIN_FILENO, TCSAFLUSH, &ios) < 0)
    return EOF;

  if (read (STDIN_FILENO, &c, 1) != 1)
    c = EOF;

  if (tcsetattr (STDIN_FILENO, TCSAFLUSH, &save_termios) < 0)
    return EOF;
  
  return c;
}

int
main ()
{
  int i;
  char c;

  fputs ("Enter key to continue: ", stdout);
  fflush (stdout);

  c = kbdhit ();
  putchar (c);

  putchar ('\n');
  return 0;
}
