Please do not take discussions off the mailing list unless there is good
reason to make them private.

Doing so:

Is bad for me: Your mail doesn't get filtered into my "Cygwin" folder.
Is bad for you: You drastically reduce the number of people who may look at
your problem.
Is bad for others: They might have a similar problem, and benefit from the
discussion.

Yes, you already posted those. I was looking for more info.

<snip excerpts from Configure>

Since it is small, and I am in a good mood, I downloaded iroffer.

It turns out that you can run "./Configure errors" to see the compiler error
output.
You will see that is complains about "cannot find -lregex". This is because
modern Cygwin has regex functionality built right in to the cygwin DLL
itself. No extra library options are needed.

So, modify Configure appropriately, and go tell iroffer's maintainer that
cygwin hasn't had a libregex.a for several years now.

Max.
