Subject:	configure panic with confdefs.h error results
To:	cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
MIME-Version:	1.0

i'm not sure how to resolve my problem and i'm sure
there are other people experiencing this similar
issue... ./configure displays up to a point where it
says it cannot create an executable...i look into
config.log to get...( i hope i'm writing to the
correct mailing list, i apologize for any
inconvenience if i'm not..)

i've gotten this error with another configure for
another program i never had a chance to compile
either, i haven't been able to track what i'm missing?

do these matter? (from top of config.log)

i have the latest cygwin and the latest tarballs
extracted (only stable binary packages) from cygwin
mirrors...but my configure errors always points out a
failed build for confdefs.h...i did spend the time of
research and trying to solve the problem for this and
i know someone here must know the answer to this.i
tried looking through the cygwin archives but haven't
been successful, sorry if this seems like a repeat but
too many ignorant people do not pay attention to the
mailing lists rules of sending PLAIN and not HTML
messages that it even harder for me and everybody
else.
so PLAIN TEXT and not HTML formatted messages
people!..or maybe its the way cygwin.com is archiving
its mailing lists...any help would greatly be
appreciated thx...
