<vbg> Did I make you think that I was experienced?  That was a big mistake!
I am new also.

OK, I did the same here.

I just ran autogen.sh.  I didn't run the others manually, although I think
autogen.sh does it for you (just guessing here from the output I remember
seeing).

For me the make completed without errors, but had warnings (see the other
thread).  That is, until they added monoburg.  That's a whole new kettle of
fish.  I'm pressing on to find out how to fix the build on cygwin for that
one as I type.  I'll let you know what I find.

Doesn't sound like you did anything wrong.  Can you grep for those g_*
functions?  Where ever they are add to your path and see if that helps.
