In an ongoing effort to get GnuWin32 apps to work in the Msys shell I decided to try and fix it myself. Now there must be other people trying to do what I am doing. So what have I done wrong?
I am using XP Pro. I have installed MSys and MingW. I downloaded fileutils-4.1-8-src from GnuWin32. I then ran ./configure in the MSys shell. The configure fails with :
... stuff deleted
checking for listmntent... (cached) no
checking for getmntinfo... (cached) no
checking for mntent.h... (cached) no
checking for getmntent in -lsun... no

I get the same error.
