Manual setup of cygwin - solved but ncurses Error unable to open terminal: cygwin

[Sukhwinder Singh]

Hello Sir,

Thank you very much for your help. I was able to solve this problem of
setting up cygwin dir as root dir. I chose to do it myself because setup.exe
wasn't downloading anything.

After I tried I was able to do something like this to enable scripts to find
/bin/sh and /usr/bin etc.

BASH-2.05a$ mount /cygwin/ /
BASH-2.05a$

I am able to do cd /bin and cd /usr/bin etc.

I was even able to compile zlib library using cygwin and mingW.

But now I am missing something as libncurses demo programs didn't run
because it was unable to start terminal etc.
termcap is in directory /etc.

Ncurses dlls etc are in path.

When I run the demo programs in /usr/bin/ncurses-test-dll/ following error
is displayed.

BASH-2.05a$ ./blue
Error opening terminal: cygwin.
BASH-2.05a$

Is there anything which I forgot to download? What is the problem here?
