Hi,
I'm new to building source packages in general.  Less than a week ago, I built the GNU 'hello world' package from its Bazaar sources without incident under this same install of Cygwin.

Here are my installed versions of the requisite packages as listed in README.SVN:

Autoconf 2.68  \
Automake 1.11.1 \
Gettext 0.18.1   \
Groff 1.20.1      } Verified with '[command] --version' at the prompt.
Svn 1.7.1        /
Gnu Make 3.81   /
GCC 4.5.3      /
Texinfo 4.13  -  Verified with 'info texinfo' at the prompt.
OpenSSH 5.9p1  \
Glib 2.24.1     \
Ncurses 5.7-18   } Verified with a search of Cygwin's setup.exe .
Ncursesw 5.7-18 /
Slang (none)   /

I executed the following commands on 21 Nov 2011:
$ cd /usr/local/src
$ svn co svn://svn.savannah.gnu.org/nano/trunk/nano

Checked out revision 4546.  I have not attempted to apply any of the 10 or so patches/diffs listed since May on nano-devel, because I don't know if they address my exact problem.  Indeed, I've not read those tools' info pages yet.

$ cd nano
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure

The script appeared to succeed without any problems.  But just to be sure:

$ cat config.log | grep warning

$ make

Make failed.  Below is the last command that it tried to execute (of the ones printed to stdout), followed by its error output.

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DSYSCONFDIR=\"/usr/local/etc\"  -I/usr/include/ncursesw   -g -O2 -MT winio.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/winio.Tpo -c -o winio.o winio.c

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/nano/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/nano'
make: *** [all] Error 2

$

And after that, I did not attempt a 'make install'.

In general, other than checking the package manager like I did above (in this case, cygwin's external setup.exe program), what can I type at the prompt to verify the version, and presence, of a specific library?

Why did 2.3.1 not build correctly for me?  Or at all?  Is the problem in winio.c?  Or with my system setup?  What are the 'normal development libraries' listed in READEME.SVN?  What am I missing?
