[B20.1] troubles with ncurses examples

[Chris]

Hi,
I've loaded ncurses-4.2 and compiled and installed it on windows NT
under cygwin (b20.1).
I'm trying to run the examples but it fails. I got a "Error opening
terminal : cygwin".
Am I doing something wrong ?
Hope this is not a stupid question...
Regards,
Chris

No, you're probably not doing anything wrong.

Your TERM is set to cygwin. Set it to something like "ansi-m" and you
should be fine.

That means that either you have not installed the terminfo files or
your TERM setting is not appropriate.

For cygwin, I strongly suggest create a few fallbacks; I always include
cygwin, vt100 and xterm, so the end users don't have to have all those
terminfo files if they don't want to.

Hi,
I succeed in running the tests from ncurses :-))
My problem was I didn't have the tabset directory in usr/local/share, so
the make install failed when buildinf the terminfo database.
Thanks a lot to those who helped me
