Hello Sir,
Thank you very much for your help. I was able to solve this problem of
setting up cygwin dir as root dir. I chose to do it myself because setup.exe
wasn't downloading anything.
After I tried I was able to do something like this to enable scripts to find
/bin/sh and /usr/bin etc.
BASH-2.05a$ mount /cygwin/ /
BASH-2.05a$
I am able to do cd /bin and cd /usr/bin etc.
I was even able to compile zlib library using cygwin and mingW.
But now I am missing something as libncurses demo programs didn't run
because it was unable to start terminal etc.
termcap is in directory /etc.
Ncurses dlls etc are in path.
When I run the demo programs in /usr/bin/ncurses-test-dll/ following error
is displayed.
BASH-2.05a$ ./blue
Error opening terminal: cygwin.
BASH-2.05a$
Is there anything which I forgot to download? What is the problem here?
