Partially my mistake.

/usr/include/ncurses.h is now a symbolic link to ncurses/ncurses.h which
itself is a sybolic link to curses.h.  Both of them are created by a
postinstall script for compatability.  So, if you plug curses.h into the
search engine above, you get your answer.  You need
libncurses-devel/libncurses-devel-5.3-4.

However, a casual inspection of /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ncurses-5.3.README
that turned up in your search would have provided the same information.
Also, you have still not acted on this suggestion:

I *strongly* suggest that you do so before posting further on this, or
other topics.

Yes.  That is why I directed you to the problems URL above.

I will wait until you have submitted the information requested there
before providing further help.  Thanks.
