The problem is that I need to compile using MinGW under Cygwin, and MinGW doesn't provide any of the shared memory header files (shm.h, sys/mmap.h, sys/mman.h, etc.) so the test fails.
A quick Google shows that a few other people have had this problem trying to build Subversion with MinGW but it doesn't look like anyone's resolved it. Does anyone know of a successful APR build with MinGW? Thanks, Dan Daniel M.

The relevant part of the log for each looks like this on Windows XP when I generate configure using an up to date Cygwin with `autoconf-2.5x' ... checking for shmdt... yes checking for shmctl... yes checking for create_area... no checking for MAP_ANON in sys/mman.h... yes checking for /dev/zero... yes checking for mmap that can map /dev/zero... yes decision on anonymous shared memory allocation method... 4.4BSD-style mmap() via MAP_ANON decision on namebased memory allocation method... SysV IPC shmget() ... I dont know a lot about Cygwin, but I would check that out first. What were the configure results for header sys/mman.h, function mmap, and function munmap? Cheers, John
