problem with linking with NCurses library


I am new to Cygwin and I am trying to convert a program originally written
under Linux 2.0.36 with gcc 2.95 and linked with ncurses 4.2.

I just installed cygwin in my Win98 machine and tested it by compiling my
favorite text editor: Joe's editor. That went well with no error after I
changed the makefile to point to gcc instead of cc.

However, when I try to compile my software, the linker throws up on all the
ncurses function calls (the compilation goes OK though).

An example of one of the many error messages is:

"undefined reference to _imp__wrefresh"

I noticed that there were curses libraries and ncurses libraries. I changed
the linker directive from -lncurses to -lcurses with no effect (same
errors).

The program is written in C, not C++.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Didier
