Thank you for trying to compile cgminer with ncurses support, emdje.
I don't know whats the problem when you compile with curses support. Somehow it looks like this are errors caused by windows libraries stuff.
But i'm not sure.
For now i don't have time, because i go to china for some weeks today.
Maybe i will have some time to look for some A2's when i'm there, we'll see.
For this time my A2 mini will run unattended at home with the old cgminer binary i use to run.
So there's no need for you to work on compiling cgminer for me the next weeks.

thanks again, thumbs up for you!
