Cygwin compiling status?

[John G Dargie]

Is there anywhere that shows the current status of cygwin portability, and advice?  All I can gather for certain are the following change log statements.   1.1.7 . changes by Iouri Pletnev (Iouri.Pletnec at xacta.com) - Ported under Cygwin   1.1.9 . changes by Renaud Deraison (deraison at nessus.org) - Fixed the "wrong call to getopt" problem which would make Nessus   segfault when built with cygwin, and which would prevent options   from working under Solaris & FreeBSD (thanks to Udo Schweigert)   But on the website I can't find anything about cygwin at all.  Reading between the lines of some nessus-devel discussions it seems that 1.2.4 probably does not compile under cygwin.  **Could you add a line or two somewhere (News/FAQ?)** which shows that nessus can or cannot be compiled and made to work in cygwin.  I've been trying to compile 1.2.3/1.2.4 under cygwin and failing to compile libnasl (winpcap issues), but I'm not sure whether to persevere, and I'm sure this must have been pursued by others as well.   John Dargie.
