Not really a solution, but Michael Elkins pointed out that this is "only" the html documentation, and the building of it can be disabled by editing the SUBDIRS variable in the makefile. See http://marc.info/?l=mutt-users&m=126685506502164&w=2 I think the problem is the lack of sgml2html on Cygwin, but I am at a bit of a loss as to how the official package was built if that's the case. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
