Hello,

After multiple failures, I finally made them to build successfully. I shall explain some essentail steps, for CURSES library under windows, you may refer to this link of pdcurses: https://pdcurses.org/ but I don't think it makes any further efforts for building solutions of libbladeRF, as you may encounter more issues while building, such as couldn't find bladeRF.lib file, or lack of unistd.h etc...

I strongly recommend to follow the steps mentioned in: #906 strictly, and to git clone this version of repo: https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF/tree/41ef63460956e833c9b321252245257ab3946055 for building the whole solution of libbladeRF. Then everything should work properly.
