Trouble Installing Vim on MinGW

Although I've installed ncurses, in trying to install vim, I get
complaints about things related to ncurses, either way I try to
compile it:

1) Using just "make", I get an error, with the last lines of make's
output:
checking --with-tlib argument... empty: automatic terminal library
selection
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no
no terminal library found
checking for tgetent()... configure: error: NOT FOUND!
You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses.
Or specify the name of the library with --with-tlib.
make[1]: *** [config] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alan/tempvim/vim73/src'
make: *** [first] Error 2

2) Using "./configure --prefix=/usr --with-tlib=/include/ncurses --
with-features=big", I get a different error with the last lines of
configure's output:
checking --with-tlib argument... ncurses
checking for linking with ncurses library... configure: error:
FAILED

Any suggestions?

Assuming I get configure to work right, it appears that the next step
is this, right?
"make -f Make_ming.mak"

Thanks!
