Recently, when building the Emacs-23 branch on my Cygwin machine, I'd
forgotten to install curses-devel. The configure script should have
failed, but instead, compilation proceeded until linking, when the job
failed with /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
cannot find -lcurses
The configure script ought to look for ncurses, then curses, and fail
if neither is found (or at least unset TERMINFO)

This bug was reported 8 years ago but unfortunately never got a reply
at the time. Is this still an issue on modern versions of Emacs?
Best regards,

More information was requested, but none was given within 5 weeks, so
I'll go ahead and assume this has been fixed in the years since this
was reported.
If this is still an issue with a modern version of Emacs, please
reopen the bug report.
Best regards,
