I created a patch for GNU screen 3.9.15 that will allow it to be compiled and installed on Cygwin. The patch is attached below, the basic build and install procedure is:
$ tar xzf {tar-path}/screen-3.9.15.tar.gz
$ cd screen-3.9.15
$ patch -p1 -s <{patch-path}/screen-3.9.15-cygwin.diff
$ autoconf
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
Manual add the termcap and terminfo settings for screen.
$ cd terminfo
$ cat screencap >>/etc/termcap
$ tic screeninfo.src
If everything works as planned screen should now be in /usr/local/bin. See
if it is:
$ which screen
The patch is attached.
