The ncurses package you have will provide runtime support for ncurses applications. To build those applications, you need the ncurses development package. My Debian repository seems to describe it as "libncurses5-dev - developer's libraries and docs for ncurses", as well as a 64-bit specific version.

Thank you for the reply. But I haven't solve the problem yet. As per your reply, I went to http://packages.debian.org website and I download this file lib64ncurses5-dev_5.9-10ubuntu1_i386.deb. As you mention in answer that it would be a package rather than a file. Furthermore I didn't find any package for "lib64ncurses5-dev - developer's libraries and docs for ncurses". So if this package avaiable in a direct link than can you give me a direct link. Moreover I build ncurses5 again with adding that file but it didn't work out....
It is hard to know how a Debian or Ubuntu package works in a Cygwin environment. Were you able to install the .deb file? It might be necessary to install the devel package from a source tarball.
There may be a specific option to configure that lets you tell it where to find libraries and header for external packages. Try running 'configure --help' to see if it suggests one.
