The editor nano-2.4.0 comes with Cygwin. But recently a patch to nano-2.4.0 has been made available on nano-devel which I would like to try on a Cygwin platform. I'll need to patch nano from source. So I downloaded the source direct from the nano site.
Starting with ./configure works fine. Then make proceeds quite energetically for a while but then fails as follows:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..  -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DSYSCONFDIR=\"/usr/local/etc\" -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600   -g -O2 -Wall -MT text.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/text.Tpo -c -o text.o text.c
text.c: In function 'do_alt_speller':
text.c:2667:5: error: unknown type name '__time_t'
     __time_t timestamp;
     ^
Makefile:411: recipe for target 'text.o' failed
make[2]: *** [text.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/user/nano-2.4.0/src'
Makefile:395: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/user/nano-2.4.0'
Makefile:333: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

It is possible that I have not installed enough of Cygwin: I installed gcc-core and any dependencies but stopped there. (In the past I have had to be explicit about . bison, flex . and some others.) Can anybody offer advice on what package in Cygwin Devel (or other) I might be missing that is preventing compilation of nano from source?
Or is there a tweak to the script Makefile that I need to attend to? (Actually it's not obvious to me that src/text.o exists.)
Thank you.
Fergus
