Linking `ncurses` on NixOS

that was it!

I changed it to

const std = @import("std");

pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
    const target = std.zig.CrossTarget{ .os_tag = .linux, .cpu_arch = .x86_64 };

    const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
        .name = "ncurses_interaction",
        .root_source_file = .{ .path = "ncurses_interaction.zig" },
        .target = target,
    });
    exe.addLibraryPath(.{ .path = "/nix/store/lhfi31nbyv62rw5szbfrh3pdnvcfgxmc-ncurses-6.4/lib" });
    exe.linkLibC();
    exe.linkSystemLibrary("ncursesw");

    b.installArtifact(exe);
}

I now have a zig-out!

Thank you so much!
