Compiling a2ps on Cygwin under Win 98 and/or Win 2k

[Dominic.Large]

Hi,

 

I've been trying to get a2ps to build on Cygwin for Win 2k and Win 98, but I've not been able to get it to work successfully.

 

Before going any further, I'll just mention that I'm one of the lazy types that tries to get pre-compiled stuff before trying to install from source; so I may be doing something mind-numbingly stupid, or not doing something blindingly obvious.  I have tried Google searches and mailing list searches over the last few days for hints, but I can't find anything that helps.

 

On to the actual problem: configure seems to work OK, but when I run make the build fails with the following error:

Any help would be appreciated.
