You don't need more headers. You just have to link with libconio.a 

Linker errors are not related with missing ".h" headers. In this case, you get *compiler* errors, not 
*linker* ones.

Project options/Linker options : -lconio

No problem here. Can you make a cut&paste of the snippet that causes you the problem ?

Kind regards
