I have just installed cygwin on a new laptop, so it is a very recent
version. I want to try to compile an application that needs ncurses.
However, configure can not find ncurses, and indeed libcurses.a and its
friends are not in /usr/lib. I tried reinstalling. An old message
suggested installing ncurses first and then libncurses and terminfo. The
result is the same. There is nothing from ncurses in /usr/lib, but
/usr/bin has:-
$ ls *ncurse*
cygncurses++-8.dll* cygncurses++6.dll* cygncurses5.dll* cygncurses7.dll*
cygncurses++5.dll* cygncurses-8.dll* cygncurses6.dll* ncurses8-config*
This was exactly the situation after the first install.
I can find nothing in the archives and indeed most messages about
ncurses are quite old and I expect things have changed.
I am probably missing something obvious, but I can not see it. I have
used cygwin for ages but have never needed ncurses before. Can anyone
offer a clue.
Regards, Brian.
