Ubuntu – how to compile a c program that uses pthread.h

I'm a beginner and I'm new to Ubuntu. I just installed it and want to run a C program. I have no idea what platform to use or where to write the code. I need to use pthread.h header file in the program. Can anyone help me?

Use:

gcc MyProgram.c -o MyProgram -lpthread

and dont forget to include the POSIX library in your code. It will compile your code.

Indeed, clear_screen is a macro:

$ grep clear_screen /usr/include/term.h
#define clear_screen                   CUR Strings[5]

You will have to use some other name, like the linked page does:

void Clear_screen (void)

The compiler messages also state this:

clear_screen_UNIX.c:9:6: note: in expansion of macro ‘clear_screen’

That's why the errors seem to be in term.h - the macro expansion leads there.
