i cannot use getch() function in linux , but i need to ask the user to press enter

[saronyo bose]

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void func(int);
void main()
{
int x=1;
func(x);
printf("##############");
}
void func(int x)
{
    if(x!=0)
    {
    printf(" X!=0");
    getch();
    return;
    }
}

on compiling this code the error is

e2.c:2:18: error: conio.h: No such file or directory


and on commenting <conio.h> the error is ax follows

e2.c:2:18: error: conio.h: No such file or directory


wat 2 do ????

Don't use getch() to make your program pause at the end, it is unnecessary would be the best idea.

While you are about it main returns int not void. This might not have been a problem on Windows since MSVC supports main returning void as an extension but on Linux I imagine most of the compilers (gcc for instance) are more strict and you should return int to void undefined behaviour.

If you are going to write software for multiple platforms then get used to writing portable software and that means not relying on non-standard headers and libraries such as "conio.h".

#include <curses.h> instead of <conio.h>

[Raj K]

#include <ncurses.h>
int main()
{
  initscr();
  cbreak();
  printw("Press Any Key.. ");
  getch();
  endwin();
  return 0;
}
 

- Make sure you have installed ncurses library before compiling.
- While compiling, pass a argument -lncurses to gcc
