As the title states, you cannot build ncurses with crossdev's mingw-w64 toolchain without --enable-term-driver passed to the ./configure script. You will end up with the following errors: ../obj_s/lib_kernel.o:lib_kernel.c:(.text+0xe3): undefined reference to `_nc_mingw_tcflush' ../obj_s/lib_kernel.o:lib_kernel.c:(.text+0x12a): undefined reference to `_nc_mingw_tcflush' ../obj_s/lib_ttyflags.o:lib_ttyflags.c:(.text+0x5f): undefined reference to `_nc_mingw_tcgetattr' ../obj_s/lib_ttyflags.o:lib_ttyflags.c:(.text+0x118): undefined reference to `_nc_mingw_tcsetattr' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [Makefile:850: ../lib/libncurses6.dll] Error 1 This bug is mostly for documentation purposes, as my pull request for it (https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/5734) will address this issue and also fix bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/631468
