| Subject: | Curses.c (Curses-1.08) doesn't compile on cygwin (perl 5.8.6) |
F.Y.I.
Problem is that include directory '/usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin/CORE' also contains a form.h and that is the one that's being included instead of /usr/include/form.h
The attached hints file includes curses related headers <ncurses/form.h>, <ncurses/curses.h>, etc. instead.
