building vim for cygwin--no terminal library

Question

I'm trying to build vim with python support for cygwin using:

./configure --enable-pythoninterp --enable-gui=no --without-x \
--enable-multibyte --prefix=/usr

but can't get around the error:

checking --with-tlib argument... empty: automatic terminal library selection
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no
no terminal library found
checking for tgetent()... configure: error: NOT FOUND!
      You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses.
      Or specify the name of the library with --with-tlib.

I do have libncurses-devel installed (so this is different than SO question Building Vim from Source in Cygwin)

I've also tried adding a --with-tlib=ncurses flag with the same results.

Anyone have any suggestions for getting vim to recognize the libncurses library?

ls /usr/lib/libncurses.*

/usr/lib/libncurses.a /usr/lib/libncurses.dll.a /usr/lib/libncurses.la

Oops! Looks like I did not have some of the libncurses sources installed (though I thought I had). Unfortunately, I took a shotgun approach and installed sources for all ncurses/libncurses packages (and also added a few gcc packages), so I'm not 100% sure which was required, but I assume it was the libncurses-devel source.
