I want to make my CLion compatible with curses library for C. Here's my sample application
#include <stdio.h>
#include "ncurses.h"
int main() {
initscr();
printw("Hello world");
refresh();
getch();
endwin();
return 0;
}
And here's my CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project(untitled C)
set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 99)
add_executable(untitled main.c)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ncurses)
But when I run the application, I get into this error
Error opening terminal: unknown.

you need to edit your CMakeLists.txt file to be as follows:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.17)
project(untitled C)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
add_compile_options(-g -Wall -Wextra -pedantic)
set(INCLUDE_DIR include)
include_directories (${INCLUDE_DIR})
find_package(Curses REQUIRED)
include_directories(${CURSES_INCLUDE_DIR})
add_executable(untitled main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${CURSES_LIBRARIES})
Just tested it now, and it works fine in Clion latest version ( mine at the time of writing this answer is v2020.3)
Mind you, it's not possible to debug the lib commands, but you can compile and run in the console-terminal (i.e. don't run it from the "terminal" that is inside CLion, use the system one instead), this is because the code is designed to run in a text-type terminal whilst the one inside of CLion is a Graphical one.
I hope this helps
Good luck,
