After installing gettext-devel, which, among other packages, according to cygwin package search contained autopoint, autogen'ing, configure'ing and make'ing succeeded. What puzzled me were the very different sizes of the executables: 0.6.10 104,974 0.6.13 27,662 (stripping didn't change sizes.) I thought I re-compile 0.6.10 to check. But that failed because configure considered curses.h (ncurses 6.0-12.20171125) unusable: checking location of curses.h file... /usr/include/ncursesw/ncurses.h checking if curses is usable... no configure: error: Curses not found.
