Yes, the same:

E:\cygwin\home\fredlwm\tmp\objdir\lynx\src\chrtrans>makeuctb.exe
Usage: makeuctb [parameters]

Utility to convert .tbl into .h files for Lynx compilation.

Parameters (all are optional):
  1: the input file (normally {filename}.tbl, but "-" for stdin
  2: the output file (normally {filename}.tbl but "-" for stdout
  3: charset mime name

and it crashes.

And running make in src/chrtrans:

./makeuctb.exe /d/Linux/lynx2-8-5/src/chrtrans/iso01_uni.tbl iso01_uni.h
/d/Linux/lynx2-8-5/src/chrtrans/iso01_uni.tbl: No such file or directory
make: *** [iso01_uni.h] Error 5

after it crashes.

If no paramaters are given it crashes like in cmd.exe.

Faulting application makeuctb.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting
module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.2600.1106, fault address
0x0002d988.

The address is always the same.

Can you test the binary I attached ? And can you send me one
you compiled ?

Yes, I just meant that for some reason it was added, and I only
set --with-screen=ncurses. The same now with -ltermcap. Are
they ignored since they're Cygwin libraries ?
