Build issue; permission denied to open file

Trying out the simple hello world example.

I added ncurses to my dependencies and just ran it. This is the result:

cargo build
   Compiling ncurses v5.85.0
error: failed to run custom build command for `ncurses v5.85.0`

message: "The system cannot find the file specified."

The file is definitely there. chtype_size.c that is. If you guys need anthing else, ask. I have no clue whats going on but i'll dig around for a fix.

This is due to attempting to compile cursive with ncurses on windows. To avoid this, add default-features=false option for cursive dependency and add pancurses-backend to cursive features. It was casually mentioned in the Backends wiki page.

This error is because ncurses doesn't support Windows.
Use pancurses instead, which supports Unix and Windows, by adding the following to Cargo.toml.

[dependencies.cursive]
version = "0.12"
default-features = false
features = ["pancurses-backend"]

For those on Ubuntu, make sure you've installed ncurses build libraries:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
