lib not found (ncurses)

  • 772

I'm trying to compile this c++ project: https://github.com/YvesZHI/FallingCode

I've successfully compiled it on my Mac OS, however, when I try to compile it on my ubuntu16.04, I get errors as below:

undefined reference to 'initscr'
...

which means that it can't find libncurses.

I've done: apt install libncurses-dev

I execute: pkg-config --cflags --libs ncurses and get the result:
-D_GNU_SOURCE -lncurses -ltinfo

g++ --version gives me

g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5) 5.4.0

I'm thinking if there is some error its makefile...

c++

    With the help of @steeldriver, I use LDLIBS in makefile and it works now:

    LDLIBS=-lncurses

    Obviously ubuntu and mac are different on processing makefile.
