Is anybody going to read the documentation? From
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ncurses.README:
...
========================================================================
All libraries (libncurses, libpanel, libmenu, libform, libncurses++)
come in both static (.a) and dynamic (.dll) forms. To link your project
with the C libraries:
#0) Use -I /usr/include/ncurses when compiling
...
Port Notes:
---------- ncurses-5.7-18 -- 20090102 -----------
* Remove symlinks in /usr/include/ to /usr/include/ncurses/*
The reasons the symlinks in /usr/include were removed was to treat
ncurses and ncursesw the same, rather than stamping one as the
"approved" version with "official" symlinks in /usr/include.
Actually, I'd prefer if people started using -I/usr/include/ncursesw and
linking against the wide version of the library instead.
