How to create makefile for program using curses.h - c

Question

I am struggling with making a makefile for the sample code below using curses.h.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include<curses.h>
int main(){
WINDOW *initscr(void);
initscr();
int endwin(void);
return 0;
}
I included library and header in Netbeans, but when I try to build with makefile:
CC=C:\TDM-GCC-64\bin\gcc
CFLAGS=-std=gnu99 -Werror -Wall -lm -lncurses
DEPS=curses.h
OUTPUT=main
all:
echo "Building all"
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) render.c -o $(OUTPUT)
it gives me :
echo "Building all"
Building all
C:\TDM-GCC-64\bin\gcc -std=gnu99 -Werror -Wall -lm -lncurses render.c -o main
render.c:3:19: fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory
#include<curses.h>
^
compilation terminated.
make.exe": *** [all] Error 1
BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 150ms)

Answer 1

Just add -I. -L. to your CFLAGS macro, this adds the project library to the search paths of both the preprocessor and linket. This should work provided you have curses header and library files in your project folder. If the header or library files are in different folders just modify -I or -L flags accordingly.
Your last comment suggested that the preprocessing and compilation went fine but the linker could not locate the library file.
As a general note, it would be a good idea to put compiler flags to CFLAGS and linker flags to a different macro, say LDFLAGS.
Macro DEPS should also be used to enable incremental compilation. It is usually used as a dependency to the compilation rule but since you don't have it separately you could put it besides all such as this:
all : $(DEPS)

Answer 2

Here is what I did, it works, but it still returns 8 errors.
Solution to fix 1 of the 8 errors is listed further down.
I cd to the location of thadgavin.c
( for me it is "pset1/source")
For ubuntu (I used 16.04)
$ cc thadgavin.c -lm -lncurses
$ ./a.out
You can rename a.out to thadgavin (same as "make" would have done if it would have worked).
$ mv a.out thadgavin
There you go, hope this helps resolve the last of the errors.
Note:
There is an easy error fix in main(), you need to specify it as an int first. I believe it is on line 61?
Eg;
"int main()" shows only as "main()" due to "int" being up at the top with the abstracted layout syntax I do not believe it knows it has been called as an int. I may be wrong, hopefully someone else can shed light to this problem.
