title: Not able to compile C/C++ code that's using ncurses
body: <p>I've just discovered ncurses and have just started learning it, however the examples in my tutorial don't compile on my computer.</p>
  
  <p>I had to install ncurses manually and did so by entering "apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev". I had to do this because before having done so I got an error saying that I could not "#include ".</p>
  
  <p>Installing it worked, but now I get this error instead:</p>
  
  <pre><code>touzen@comp:~/learning_ncurses$ g++ -o hello_world hello_world.cpp
  /tmp/ccubZbvK.o: In function `main':
  hello_world.cpp:(.text+0xa): undefined reference to `initscr'
  hello_world.cpp:(.text+0x16): undefined reference to `printw'
  hello_world.cpp:(.text+0x1b): undefined reference to `refresh'
  hello_world.cpp:(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `stdscr'
  hello_world.cpp:(.text+0x28): undefined reference to `wgetch'
  hello_world.cpp:(.text+0x2d): undefined reference to `endwin'
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The code I compiled looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#include &lt;ncurses.h&gt;
  int main(){
      initscr();
      printw("Hai thar world...");
      refresh();
      getch();
      endwin();
  
      return 0;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why do I get this error. And even more importantly, how do I fix this?</p>
