# I couldn't get nls support to work (my version of gettext, and the
# cygwin <locale.h>, do not define "LC_MESSAGES" so NLS is broken.

  --disable-nls
# although configure reports that it successfully found strerror() and
# select(), the config.h that it created did not define HAVE_STREROR
# nor HAVE_SELECT.
# Edit src/config.h and change these lines:
-/* #undef HAVE_SELECT */
+#define HAVE_SELECT 1
-/* #undef HAVE_STRERROR */
+#define HAVE_STRERROR 1
