Search the forum (see link below) for "regex". There are quite a few posts on the subject. One should be able to help you.

I read all the posts about regex and it didn't help at all......

Edit the file "Makefile" and try taking out "-lregex" from it.

Thanks, that helped alot!! but, now when I try to run it this message comes up, when i double click the exe it says A Cygwin DLL is missing Cygwin1.Dll, when i try to run it in cygwin i get this

$ d:/cygwin/home/unknown/smaug/dist/smaug.exe

You need to execute it in the area directory.

Either:

* put the directory which contians cygwin1.dll into your path environment variable
* put cygwin1.dll into a directory that is in your path (eg. \windows\system)
* copy cygwin1.dll into your area directory
