RE: Cygwin make menuconfig hangs

["Gabriel Goldstein" <GabrielG at anidea-engineering dot com>]

OK, if you're just trying to build menuconfig with Cygwin's gcc, get rid
of your references to .so's and copied/renamed .dll.a files and just
install
the ncurses and libncurses-devel and libncurses8.  That should be all
you
need to allow you to build against Cygwin's ncurses.

Believe me, I would have never got creative if it all worked the first
time.  
I deleted my links between dll and so and I get this:

$ make menuconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/split-include
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/docproc

references to `_l

etc.

This is related to NLS.  I have a hunch this is related to: (note the
--enable-nls --without-included-gettext)  It would seem I need to get it
from somewhere.

$ gcc -v

Any other thoughts.  With the time I have on this, I'm learning a lot,
but I need to produce something now.  

Thanks,

Gabriel
