S-Lang on cygwin: terminfo missing?

[Warren Postma]

Hello, I'm new to using S-Lang on cygwin (windows).

Will S-Lang terminal handling (full screen text mode applications) work on
Cygwin? I downloaded and compiled the S-Lang libraries okay in cygwin, but
the following simple test fails:

-- Source snippet:

#include <slang/slang.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <termios.h>

int main(void)
{

struct winsize ws;

if (ioctl(1,TIOCGWINSZ,&ws)) { perror("winsize failed"); return 1; }

SLtt_get_terminfo();
SLtt_Screen_Rows = ws.ws_row;
SLtt_Screen_Cols = ws.ws_col;

SLsmg_init_smg();

/* main here */

SLsmg_gotorc(SLtt_Screen_Rows-1,0);
SLsmg_refresh();
SLsmg_reset_smg();
SLang_reset_tty();

return 0;
};


--- Program output:

Unknown terminal: cygwin
Check the TERM environment variable.
Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database.
Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired
termcap entry.

Help!?
