I think you need to install ncurses-devel for termcap support, but I'm
not sure what provides the fl library.  When it comes to missing
libraries such as you're seeing, many projects have some form of
documentation available which tells you what you need to install in
order to build the software, so make sure you check there first.  You
can also use the cygcheck program and http://cygwin.com/packages/ to
search for the cygwin packages which provide particular files.
