I was able to >build and install it using coolview, but have hit a snag with b19. Yep, works like a charm - only thing is, you have to replace /bin/sh, which is actually an ash port, with bash. cp /bash.exe /bin/sh.exe and you're done. It seems to be the "quoting bug" in ash, which prevents compiling ncurses in this case. As for me, I did the above mentioned copy *and* mounted my Cygnus directory to /bin. So normally I have ash as sh, but if I need bash as sh, I simply umount /bin and get the original contents of /bin, i.e. bash. [...] Bye.
