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?
