Description
When building on Cygwin (MobaXterm) with embeded Lua integrated, ar returns an error with unknown option "u" (deprecated anyway):

If I remove manually the "u" option in "Makefile" and "lua-5.3.0/src/Makefile", the compilation complete without any more errors, but running dit.exe fails with a segmentation fault. Using gdb I've got the following details:

lua: minor build fix for cygwin

Thanks for the report!
I pushed a commit removing
ufrom the Lua makefile.That's weird! This sounds like a build issue. Perhaps some incompatibility between your curses headers and your library?

Hi, sorry for late answer!
After I did a git pull, the build problem disapeared from the lua lib linking. But it remains for the libconfigeditor.a linking.
About the version of ncurse, I took the version shipped by cygwin, supposingly identical for binaries and headers. Compiling with ./configure --disable-ncurses don't change a thing.

Here is version returned by cygcheck of ncurses libraries and header with integrity check:
