./configure --with-ncurses
checking for working ncurses... no
configure: error: Cannot find a curses library. Perhaps you failed to install an ncurses development package?
But I do have ncurses as the result from cygcheck shows below:
ls /bin/*ncurses*
/bin/cygncurses++-10.dll /bin/cygncurses7.dll /bin/ncurses6-config
/bin/cygncurses++-8.dll /bin/cygncurses-8.dll /bin/ncursesw5-config
/bin/cygncurses++-9.dll /bin/cygncurses-9.dll /bin/ncursesw6-config
/bin/cygncurses++w-10.dll /bin/cygncursesw-10.dll
/bin/cygncurses-10.dll /bin/ncurses5-config
and cygcheck displays:
x86/libncurses-devel/libncurses-devel-5.7-18
x86/libncurses10/libncurses10-5.7-18
x86/libncurses7/libncurses7-5.3-4
x86/libncurses7/libncurses7-5.3-4-src
x86/libncurses8/libncurses8-5.5-10
x86/libncurses8/libncurses8-5.5-10-src
x86/libncurses9/libncurses9-5.7-16
x86/libncurses9/libncurses9-5.7-16-src
x86/libncursesw-devel/libncursesw-devel-5.7-18
x86/libncursesw10/libncursesw10-5.7-18
I realize that there is an Orpie already in cygwin's repository, but I need to build it, as I am adding new functionality to it and want to extend it.
If anyone knows why the build tools/scripts can not find the ncurses library and how I can patch it, please let know.
Regards
