Compiling 1.7.7 w/ Cygwin

Hey Yall,
Im having a bit of trouble compiling 1.7.7 with Cygwin. After configuring, editing options.h and typing make install, I get this error:

gcc -g -I.. -I../hdrs -I/bin/exim-4.20-1/minires -c -o mysocket.o mysocket.c
mysocket.c: In function 'getaddrinfo':
mysocket.c:1046: '_res' undeclared(first use in this function)
mysocket.c:1046: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
mysocket.c:1046: for each function it appears in.)
mysocket.c:1046: 'RES_INIT' undeclared (first use in this function)
mysocket.c:1052: 'RES_USE_INET6' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[1]: *** [mysocket.o] Error1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pennmush/pennmush/src'
make: *** [all] Error2

Any help that you might give me is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

After downloading pennmush-1.7.7p34.tar.gz and unpacking it, I ran ". Configure -d" and copied options.h.dist to options.h, then typed "make". I got some warnings, but no errors. Then I could start the MUSH up ...

I did notice that you are compiling using cc and I am using gcc ... while do realize that one is a version of the other, I thought that perhaps this was having an affect on the overall result?
When I deleted my distribution, reunpacked and attempted to configure again I ran into the same error I was having the first time... 'WOAH THERE!! Your C compiler doesn't seem to be working....' etc. I had configured it to use gcc before... What is wrong with my cygwin distribution, where it would have trouble using cc to compile? Thankyou

Hard to say what is wrong with your Cygwin. Perhaps you didn't install all the compiler tools.
