compile ncurses "hello world" to run independent of cygwin?


I have a Windows 7 / 64 bit PC.

I just installed 32 bit cygwin to d:\cygin\. Installed everything.
https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.setup.everything

I started up the Cygwin Terminal.

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Windows Live:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Windows Live:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/OpenCL SDK/3.0/bin/x86:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/OpenCL SDK/3.0/bin/x64:/cygdrive/d/Program Files (x86)/Putty:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Windows Live/Shared:/cygdrive/d/msys64/usr/bin:/usr/lib/lapack:/usr/openwin/bin

$ cat ncurses-1.c
// http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/helloworld.html

#include <curses.h>

int main()
 {
 initscr(); /* Start curses mode */
 printw("Hello World !!!"); /* Print Hello World */
 refresh(); /* Print it on to the real screen */
 getch(); /* Wait for user input */
 endwin(); /* End curses mode */

 return 0;
 }

$ gcc ncurses-1.c -lncurses

$ ./a.exe # runs perfectly under cygwin

$ i686-pc-mingw32-gcc -I /usr/include ncurses-1.c -L /lib -lncurses

$ ./a.exe
Segmentation fault

Switching to a windows 7 command window (dos window), and running a.exe, I get an error message:

"the program can't start because cygncursesw-10.dll is missing..."

What am I doing wrong? How do I use cygwin to compile the test ncurses program so it can run in a dos terminal, independent of cygwin? I looked around the docs and archives and could not figure out.

Thanks,
Daniel
