ncurses problem

ncurses problem

[domin]

Hello. I'm beginner to Ada, I'm using GNAT on linux.
Recently I have installed also AdaCurses-5.2-2 + runtime from rpm,
but I can't make any program that uses it - compile is ok, but link fails:

For example, attempt to make the hello2.adb:

with Terminal_Interface.Curses;
procedure Hello2 is
pytanie: string := "Czy to dzia�a?";
begin
   Terminal_Interface.Curses.Init_Screen;
null;
end Hello2;

returns the following error:

bash-2.05b$ gnatmake hello2.adb
gnatgcc -c hello2.adb
gnatbind -x hello2.ali
gnatlink hello2.ali
b~hello2.o: In function `adainit':
b~hello2.o(.text+0x80): undefined reference to
`terminal_interface__curses___elabs'
./hello2.o: In function `_ada_hello2':
./hello2.o(.text+0x25): undefined reference to
`terminal_interface__curses__init_screen'
gnatmake: *** link failed.

Does anyone know what can be wrong or what to do?
Thanks in advance.

You have to specify where gnatlink can find the ncurses library. Look
for the -I command line switch.

Do:

gnatmake hello2 `adacurses-config`

now the linker will get the information it needs.

PS: Note that the "`" must not be "'".
