downloaded the source code for GPA 0.9.2 and tried to compile it on mingw/msys
didn't quite work ... here is what happened: $ ./configure --prefix=/mingw checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for style of include used by make...

(the compililer *did* give the encouraging message of: 'checking whether build environment is sane... yes' ;-) ) TIA vedaal
