I can fix the configure script to cope with this.
I wish I could understand why MSoft had to go find new and better
headers for stashing stuff like that.  :(

Unfortunately, I cannot.  Hopefully, someone on the users list may have
some good suggestions.  I do not use Windows myself.

Geof,

I'm not a big windows user by anymeans, but I have been able to build
autogen & use autoopts under Windows w/ Cygwin via gcc in my own
project.  Doesn't seem to be any way to build it natively under
Windows though that I'm aware of.

I documented the steps necessary to get Autogen working properly under
Cygwin here:
http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/trac/browser/trunk/docs/Win32Readme.txt

Code which compiles under Cygwin is here:
http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/trac/browser/branches/3.4

and is available via svn:

https://www.synfin.net/svn/tcpreplay/branches/3.4

Honestly, I never had to do anything like you're describing above so I
don't have a good answer for you.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for your pointers on this, and congrats on your tcpreplay project.

I'm attempting to do this on the MinGW path so that we can distribute without Cygwin dependencies . . .

I'll let you know how it goes!

Geof

You won't get by without MSYS at least.  Especially for the scripts.   
And, IIRC, it must be created in the MSYS build environment, check the  
MinGW wiki for details on that and ask on  
min...@li....
