#181 Expects curses.h -- not present on cygwin

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to install this on my WindowsXP PC under
Cygwin. I have flex and bison. ran the following:

./configure --with-flex
make

eventually see:
build.c:51:20: curses.h: No such file or directory

More info below:

>>>> I can be reached at mgallucc@cisco.com <<<<

Which is true (/usr/include has no curses.h in any
subdirectory).

Your conclusion that curses.h is not present on cygwin is
mistaken --- you just didn't install the package that
contains it. You need ncurses to build cscope.
