Hello,

I have searched the archives but didn't find any ports of the 
Berkeley DB libraries to cygwin. I'm trying to build some 
software which requires the libdb.a library. I have tried to 
build BDB myself from the source code and always run into 
trouble. So far, I have tried to build version 3.1.17 with no 
luck.

As I'm not very good in C/C++, any help would be appreciated. 

 Got this mistake:

 $ make
 gcc -c -O -I. -I/src/bdb/db-3.1.17/dist/../include  
/src/bdb/db-
 3.1.17/dist/../mutex/mut_tas.c
 In file included from db_int.h:378,
                  from /src/bdb/db-
3.1.17/dist/../mutex/mut_tas.c:23:
 /src/bdb/db-3.1.17/dist/../include/os.h:18: parse error 
before 
 `HANDLE'
 /src/bdb/db-3.1.17/dist/../include/os.h:18: warning: no 
semicolon at 
 end of struct or union
 /src/bdb/db-3.1.17/dist/../include/os.h:27: parse error 
before `}'
 make: *** [mut_tas.o] Error 1

typedef struct __io_t {

	u_int8_t  *buf;			/* Buffer. */
	size_t	   bytes;		/* Bytes read/written. */
} DB_IO;

#if defined(__cplusplus)
}
#endif

After commenting out some lines in this file, I got an error 
in some other file, which sounds equal, so I tried no more.

I will install autoconf and libtools (recommended I think) 
tomorrow and try again, maybe I could do better.
