I don't know for some unknown reason i am unable to build a simple ncurses app in kdevelop.

getting the following output

/home/kushagra/projects/hello/build> make
Linking CXX executable hello
CMakeFiles/hello.dir/main.cpp.o: In function `main':

Have you added the ncurses include path to the paths CMake instructs gcc/g++ to search?

I am new to kdevelop,cmake but i did that back when i was using codeblocks.By adding -lncurses to the other linker options.

How do i do that in kdevelop?

Thanks in advance.

Solved the problem thanks for advice.

The proper fix in this case would be to edit CMakeLists.txt, and add the following at the end:

Code: Select all

target_link_libraries(hello "-lncurses")
