See [Linking against ncurses, no package from Chocolately yet](https://travis-ci.community/t/linking-against-ncurses-no-package-from-chocolately-yet/1030/4) for Windows builder’s disk contents and environment.

Mingw’s `gcc.exe` is already in `PATH`, so you should be able to use it right away. Some libraries may require additional `-I`/`-L` – check the compiler’s default [include](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4980819/what-are-the-gcc-default-include-directories) and [library](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9922949/how-to-print-the-ldlinker-search-path) paths.
