ncurses help on Mac OS X Xcode

[SzUk92yv]

I'm currently a beginner C++ programmer. Recently, I found ncurses and thought I'd give it a shot and experiment a bit. Downloaded the files, installed them, and all that. Then, I realized that ncurses comes natively with Xcode.

So, using the following block of code from this tutorial ( http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/helloworld.html ), I tried to run it as a test. However, I got some errors that I don't understand.

#include <ncurses.h>

int main() {	
	initscr();			/* Start curses mode 		  */
	printw("Hello World !!!");	/* Print Hello World		  */
	refresh();			/* Print it on to the real screen */
	getch();			/* Wait for user input */
	endwin();			/* End curses mode		  */

	return 0;
}

Could someone help me set up ncurses? I have no idea what I'm doing. I can't find any good tutorials that actually explain everything. Basically, all I'm finding are the shittiest tutorials ever and, pardon my language, I'm confused as fuck.

Here's an image of the errors when trying to run the code - http://i.imgur.com/cj6rnsK.png

Also, is there some kind of IDE out there where I can easily create GUI elements for programs? And please, I don't want that confusing linux shit where I have to install 20 different files and run a million different terminal commands.

From your link
> To link the program with ncurses the flag -lncurses should be added.
(consult your IDE documentation)
The command would end up something like

$ clang++ foo.cpp -c
$ clang++ foo.o -lncurses -o program.bin

It's nice that you realize that when you have errors you should tell what those errors are.
But an image is a terrible format to communicate them, use text next time


PS: Absolute paths adds too much noise

I don't understand any of that. Could you explain it in-depth? And the IDE I'm using is Xcode 6.0
