I'm also installing MSPGCC4 under Cygwin right now, and I ran into the same problem. I have libncurses-devel installed, which provides <ncurses/curses.h>, but MSPGCC4's do-gdb.sh script looks for <curses.h> and doesn't find it. Since the compilation runs so terribly slowly for me (I'm running WinXP in a virtual machine on my Mac, and the compilation is easily an order of magnitude slower than it was when doing it natively under OSX), and buildgcc.pl does a brute-force compilation which will rebuild gcc before it even gets around to choking on gdb... I decided to try skipping do-gdb.sh and instead compile gdb manually. What I've done so far is: cd build/gdb-7.1 ./configure --prefix=/opt/msp430-gcc-4.4.4 --target=msp430 --disable-werror make It failed to find libz and choked on the compilation, so I'm not there just yet. I plan to use the compiler under OSX, but I'm still trying to build it under WinXP so that I can try to use gdb + gdbproxy to download code with my eZ430 dongle or MSP-FET430UIF, which aren't supported under OSX yet. I wouldn't mind using IAR or CCC to download code built by msp430-gcc, but it seems that they want the code in a .d43 format which I don't know how to create with msp430-gcc. -- Mark J.
