I've managed to get it to build on Cygwin, but it takes a long time and I've usually had to restart the build to get it to complete when something went wrong.

I have the exact same problem on Cygwin, and couldn't find a way to get libncurses5 to build. However it is not really needed for gettext so I cheated and added a "last-success" file to the libncurses5 directory in autobuilder/libraries and this fools it into thinking it has a working copy of libncurses5 and lets all the other things compile. > I hope this helps. FYI: My simple test of libglib2.0-0 made it look like the static build is working OK. I'm currently having trouble with linking for the shared version, but I think that is probably something I'm doing wrong.
