I think you cannot use the curses under Windows. At least, 
you don't want to :). Curses is fullscreen textmode 
library, optimized for use with remote text-mode 
terminals, and traditionally it is used under unices. It 
is probably possible to build some kind of curses for 
Windows from source code, but I think it is not worth to 
bother - take some kind of graphical front-end.

After all, it is tested under linux (ncurses) only - I 
have no another platform.
