Answer to problems with using regex.

It is solved by using the compiler option 
"-lregex".

---- Original Message -----------

Folks,

I have code that I am porting to cygwin. The program is currently
compiling and working on linux.

The problem I am seeing with the Cygwin version is that regcomp will not
compile my regular expressions and returns a non-zero value (indicating
an error).

The value returned by the regcomp is a large number (167844352 decimal
or 0xA011A00 hex).

Are these regex functions actually included in cygwin or are they merely
stubs?

Gregg
