Should that be libncurses-devel (instead of libncursesw-devel)? I
tried with each separately but looks like only the non-w version
works. I might be wrong here as I had a few different experiments
going on.
I was assuming an older ncurses (< 5.9) was not going to work but it
does - thanks for the pointer. Thanks to the OP as well - I'd never
looked into building tmux for Cygwin - this is awesome.
