ncurses + Cygwin: configure script



Hello,

Recently I tried to build ncurses 5.2 under Cygwin 1.1.4 but the configure
script froze at: checking for manpage tbl... no
when I issued CTRL-C the script continued with:
checking if you want to build with function extensions... yes

Interestingly the second time I ran the script this did not happen,
presumably because of something the configure script did on the
previous run. I am not sure about what exactly would have caused the
configure script to freeze and I guess that to really find out I would
have to reinstall Cygwin from scratch.

Next thing the script froze at: checking for size of bool...
Once again I hit CTRL-C and on the next rerun it did not freeze here.
(size of bool was unsigned char)

After the configure script reported the configuration summary I ran make:

** edit: HAVE_TCGETATTR
** edit: HAVE_TERMIOS_H
** edit: HAVE_TERMIO_H
** edit: BROKEN_LINKER

Other than that the make part went fine. Then when it came to the
make install part this is what heppened:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/bin/sh ./run_tic.sh
** Building terminfo database, please wait...
** adjusting tabset paths
Running tic to install /usr/local/share/terminfo ...

        You may see messages regarding unknown capabilities, e.g., AX.
        These are extended terminal capabilities which can be compiled
        using
                tic -x
        Read the INSTALL document before doing this - it can cause
        problems for older ncurses applications.

Then when compiling a classical hello world program I got:

tulip $ gcc -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lncurses curseshello.c

Any ideas of what went wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Neil
