Summary: Can not build expat-1.95.5.tar.gz

Initial Comment:
I have downloaded expat-1.95.5.tar.gz to my PC, which has 
cygwin installed. According to the docs, I can install like I am 
running on a UNIX machine : 
"Building under Win32
If you're using the GNU compiler under cygwin, follow the Unix 
directions in the next section. Otherwise if you have Microsoft's 
Developer Studio installed, then from Windows Explorer double-
click on "expat.dsp" in the lib directory and build and install in the 
usual manner."

After running configure, I run make and got the following error:
"$ make
/bin/bash ./libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-
prototypes -
Wstrict-prototypes -fexceptions   -I./lib -I. -no-undefined -version-
info 4:0:4
-rpath /usr/local/lib  -o libexpat.la lib/xmlparse.lo lib/xmltok.lo 
lib/xmlrole.
lo
/usr/lib/libcygwin.a(libcmain.o)(.text+0x6a): undefined reference 
to `WinMain@16
'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libexpat.la] Error 1

"


What do I need to do to install  ? 

Attached is the configure log file.

Thanks,

Guy Adani

It seems, there is a bug in the configure script. To build 
a Cygwin DLL the '-shared' option has to be used.

Change line 4765, 4767 and 4769 from
$CC .....
to
$CC -shared .....

and start './configure' and 'make' again. Now, everything 
should work fine.
