Actually, I did not interpret it that way.  To me, this just says if you
want to link against the C++ bindings of the ncurses library, you have to 
use the static library.  You can alternatively link to either the static 
or the DLL version of the C bindings.  But I agree with your findings.
The info messages aren't the source of your problems.
