Is ncurses related with curses? (I guess so) Ah, memories... I used curses _many_ years ago, when I was a student and I thought that the name was quite appropriate... :-/  Especially when the usual segmentation fault left your VT100 monitor [yes, I am that old!] in an unusable state, forcing you to logout and login  again...

Seriously, since I never used ncurses, I cannot be of much help, but I can give you some general advice.  Does the example dir has some project file (*.gpr)?  If it has, I would start from that, taking an existing project file and modifying to my needs.

Hope this "bootstraps" you.
