Statically link ncurses to program

by

You need to pass -l options at the end of the command line:

gcc -static hello_curses.c -o curses -lncurses

When the compiler encounters -lfoo, it links in all the symbols from foo that have been requested by a previous file. If you put -lfoo at the beginning, no symbol has been requested yet, so no symbol gets linked.
