Is there a configure script you might want to run before making? (Something
called configure or configure.pl, or something similar). Usually, ofr
packages meant to be portable, the installation procedure starts with
"./configure"
Otherwise, you will have some porting to do, and I don't know of any manual
to help you with that. Personally, I usually use the autotools (autoconf,
automake and partners) to figure out what needs replacing, and make a
replacement library, but there are different approaches to this.
As for the stdarg header: it's not in the "normal" Cygwin setup, but
using -mno-cygwin will make the compiler find it, though you loose the POSIX
emulation layer - so that probably won't help you. Otherwise, see what it
needs from the header and find out where it is - most of it should be there.

None that I know of.

I don't see any immediate use for this.
Greetz! & Good luck!
