Re: [bug-mailutils] configure fails on Cygwin

[d.henman]

There is no problem with your configure script.
It is exactly the same as mine.

Your config.log is shorter than mine but I configure in mh and other programs,
so I can't directly compare.

But, I did run ./configure with not options and encountered no problems.

Questions for you:
  (1) do you have the /usr/include  files  such as stdio.h, unistd.h, etc
  (2) Why do you have <CR>'s, aka \m or 0x0d, codes in your config.log file? 
      This could seriously scew parsing up.
      Are you using a dos type editor to edit the config.log file?

Also please keep space characters out of your file/dir names....  Thanks
