Fail to install mysql on cygwin, No curses/termcap library found


Fail to install mysql on cygwin.

When do ./configure, experienced following error:

checking for termcap functions library... configure: error: No curses/termcap library found

any idea?


Solution

  • I ran into the same issue.

    Run cygwin setup (http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe) and then in the dialog search for libncurses. Choose the appropriate one and install it. Also search for libtermcap and install it.

    That should fix this.
