No different from any other platform. Of course you also need to build BerkeleyDB, Cyrus SASL, OpenSSL, and a decent regex library first. I use Henry Spencer's regex. > > Thanks! > > Joe > > . >

Can I get some more pointers on what I need to do regarding "Henry Spencer's regex", please? "configure" within MSYS is failing at "configure: error: POSIX regex required."

Alright, I'm down to here now in MSYS: "configure: error: BDB/HDB: BerkeleyDB not available" http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/index.html http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/htdocs/pop... If I'm off base, please let me know, but the answer seems to be right around here somewhere.

Hello all- Well, I've made it much further after running into several more walls, but now I've run into this one. Any ideas on how to get past this? It occurred while running "make" inside of MSYS on MS Windows XP.
