To generalize your question, you're asking if the cygwin version of something is unavailable when you use an option called "-mno-cygwin". I'd think that the option would be self-documenting in this case but, the answer is "Yes, it's intentional". If MinGW supports curses then you probably should be using MinGW if you don't want to have your application rely on the Cygwin DLL. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
