Hello,
Recently I had uninstalled my previous version of cygwin
(1.5.24) and
did a fresh install of latest cygwin (1.7.7.1)
When I tried to recompile my code it failed because of
libtermcap.a
not found. This termcap library is needed by my code.
newly compiled applications should use terminfo
(that is, libncurses) and not libtermcap, see
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2009-12/msg00000.html
Actually, this is a linking issue. The old termcap API is emulated as
part of the ncurses package,
so instead of -ltermcap just link with -lncurses. Source code can remain
unchanged, also you can even continue to #include <termcap.h>;
-I/usr/include/ncurses may have to be added to your compiler invocation.
Just in case you're running old programs, the old termcap database is
also still available in package category "Utils".

Further investigation shows that this library is missing
from this
latest cygwin installer package.
As far as I know, the termcap library is provided under
"terminfo" or
the older "termcap" cygwin package.
During my installation, I had included all the "devel"
packages.

Does anyone has faced similar issue?
Meanwhile I am downloading the latest cygwin 1.7.7.1 source
code and
planning to recompile it.
Thanks,
Dipak
