As cgf mentioned, no. And in a way it doesn't make sense. If you link against Cygwin libs, why don't you just create a Cygwin application (apart from the obvious licensing issues)? What you *can* do is to find a native ncurses implementation on the net, or, which is much less work and just a little bit more effort code-wise, use some libtermcap with a termcap file. Building libtermcap natively should be pretty simple anyway.
