I understand that the terminfo entry should be distributed too, but this is my very question : where to put the "cygwin" file in the windows tree ? I've tried "C:\usr\share\terminfo\63", but it does not work. Do you mean that I have to re-compile "ncurses" and "terminfo" with some adjustment to the paths ?
