You should really use the termcap/terminfo libraries for portability...
you are assuming ANSI escape sequences.  Not all tty devices obey ANSI
sequences.  (Termcap is provided with Cygwin.  Terminfo is part of the
ncurses package.)

How exactly is it not working?  (I can only guess without
compiling/running your code myself.)
