Hello,
    Os I am using is win 95 osr 2 with Internet Explorer 5.5 and personal
web server, visual  studio etc also installed.

I downloaded setup exe and executed it. I used Install from Local Directory
option. It downloaded the setup.ini file. But
after that it performs an illegal operation and exits. I tried to download
the second setup file named setup-2.194.2.24.exe but it also performs
illegal operations. I tried many times after rebooting without any success.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
SETUP caused a general protection fault

So, I tried to manually download packages. I read a message in this mailing
list where required packages list was given. Then I downloaded those
packages and extracted them, first using bzip2.exe and then using WinZip to
extract .tar files, to d:/c/cygwin directory. WinZip is a very good tool and
extracts the packages using same directory structure as used by package. I
think there is no problem with WinZip.

Only some tars were extracted into /bin directory (d:\c\cygwin\bin), like
bash, which and gawk etc. Others were extracted to /usr/bin
(d:\c\cygwin\usr\bin)

I also tried to copy setup.exe, setup.ini and all .bz2 files to d:\install
and tried to run setup again. But setup failed again with illegal operation
message.

I have everything working except terminal. Whenever I run man it displays
warning:

BASH-2.05a$ man man
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
-  (press RETURN)

but it displays the manual.

When I run ncurses demo programs they too display error and don't work:

BASH-2.05a$ ./blue
Error opening terminal: cygwin.
BASH-2.05a$

So my problem is non functional terminal. File termcap is /etc/termcap. And
I am able to do cd /etc

I am also able to compile from source.

But when I tried to compile libmcrypt syntax error is displayed. I wrote to
the author he told me problem is with cygwin.

BASH-2.05a$ cd /cygdrive/d/libmcrypt-2.5.0/
BASH-2.05a$ ./configure

This is added to config.log file:

So please help me to solve these two problems. Like what env vars are
required for terminal to work.

But I think there should be documentation included with cygwin download
which discusses how to manually setup cygwin. Like what environment
variables etc. are required.

This will help us to better understand how cygwin works and we don't have to
waste your precious time.
