'readline' library requires terminal-specific functions like tputs()/tgetnum() e.t.c. and should be linked with old-good 'libtermcap' (not provides with Cygwin now) or with more recent curses library i.e. 'ncurses' or 'pdcurses'. On the Cygwin's 'i686-w64-mingw32-gcc' crosscompiler 'libreadline' depends on the 'ncurses' which has special support for Win32 console 'terminal'. To enable Win32 console support set a TERM environment: set TERM=#win32console (yes! with # character) -- -=AV=- -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
