Not sure if this is really a bug, but it was definately unclear to me...anyway, I'm trying to compile openssh, which requires zlib.
I'm running on NT4.0, with the latest cygwin, gcc, etc. installed. I installed the latest zlib from one of the cygwin mirrors, but still got the '*** zlib missing - please install first or check config.log ***' error when trying to run configure. I triple checked everything for zlib and it was fine, so I downloaded the source, compiled it, ran test ok and used that dll - same prob. I even specified the --with-zlib= option to specify an explicit path, with the same result. So, I faked out the part of configure that checks for it, and got as far as the regex check...that was missing too. So, I installed that, and suddenly openssh was able to find zlib! Everything proceeded fine from there, but the zlib missing error was definately misleading. thanks, Ean -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
