Look at recent archive messages:
- You have to force use of bash on Cygwin (as sh is ash).
(I renamed sh to ash and turned sh into a soft link pointing to bash)
- You have to apply Matthias Hoelzls patch for the tagging-method issue
(it somehow didn't make it into the release)
- There is till a Windows only problem with the fact that for any file
your total path length must not exceed 260 characters (MAX_PATH)
The steps above should get you going.
make test will still fail at .../hackerlab/tests/unidata-tests,
but the reason seems that the files ,tmp and ,tmp2 have different
kinds of line breaks, but are otherwise identical (as the test requires)
