There are several ncurses packages to choose from, but I finally figured out that I needed libncurses-devel, so I installed that, reconfigured and rebuilt vim and voila: color! It's not as clear to me what I need to resolve these differences: 36c36 < +gettext --- > -gettext 111c111 < Linking: gcc -L/usr/local/lib -o vim.exe -lncurses -liconv -lintl --- > Linking: gcc -L/usr/local/lib -o vim.exe -lncurses -liconv My Cygwin installation already has /usr/include/libintl.h /usr/lib/libintl.a /usr/lib/libintl.dll.a /usr/lib/libintl.la which appear to be what /usr/src/vim-7.0.122-1/src/auto/configure is looking for, so I don't understand what is missing and therefore which of the following likely-looking Cygwin packages I should install: gettext gettext-devel if either. On the other hand, I don't think I ever use any of vim's internationalization features, so it probably doesn't matter, especially for the purpose of evaluating this patch. In fact, I just checked the vims I use on HP-UX, SunOS and Linux and none of them have +gettext or -lintl. Thanks again for your help. I'll let you know if I find any issues with the clipboard.

You'll want to install the gettext-devel package for the +gettext feature. Thanks, Frodak
