    TCODConsole::initRoot(80,50, "j", false);
    while ( !TCODConsole::isWindowClosed() ) {
        TCODSystem::checkForEvent(TCOD_EVENT_KEY_PRESS,NULL,NULL);
        TCODConsole::root->clear();
        TCODConsole::root->putChar(40,25,'@');
        TCODConsole::flush();
    }
    return 0;
}

Answer 1

I can't see anything wrong with the code itself. You'll want to check that your linker is set up properly.
