By using the instructions you yourself put in the wiki :) Thanks for that. However, following these also gave me the problems with failed builds retrying endlessly until it finally made it through to the end. I don't feel cygwin feels like something you can depend on. Anyway, I suppose the remark about it being untested could be removed, but since I have so many difficulties under Cygwin I felt not quite comfortable removing the remark. > tic is a bona fide program from ncurses - it comes with Ubuntu. > You might want to try reinstalling package ncurses-bin just to > see if something went wrong with your installation.

I tried googling a bit and did not find too much, although I found some references to something similar on Apple OS-X: http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17295 Not sure if it is relevant, though. > You might also want to replace tic temporarily with something > that tells you what arguments it's called with so you can run it > by hand: > $ sudo mv /usr/bin/tic /usr/bin/tic-tmp > $ sudo cat > /usr/bin/tic > #!/bin/sh > echo $* > /tmp/tic.log > /usr/bin/tic-tmp $* > [Ctrl-D] > $ sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/tic The result was: -x ../misc/terminfo.src > Don't forget to switch this back afterwards! Yes, about time I do that...
