I built Vim 7.3.0 on my Cygwin system last August and thought it
could use an update, so I pulled and updated the latest changes from
the Mercurial repository, ran "make distclean" and
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-features=huge --without-x
--enable-gui=no
(one line) as I always do for Cygwin and got a bunch of error
messages before configure exited. I tried again with "make
distclean" and a simpler configure command that also tried to fix a
curses library problem reported by the previous run:
./configure --without-x --enable-gui=no --with-tlib=ncurses
I still got a lot of the same "Permission denied" errors. The
output of that command, beginning just before the first error is:
checking for uint32_t... yes
checking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included... yes
checking for ino_t... yes

configure: error: FAILED
I've never seen a "Permission denied" error from a configure script
before. I haven't investigated this further but thought someone
here might have seen this when building for Cygwin and already know
the solution.
I'm running Cygwin 1.5.25 on a Windows XP system. Yes, I know 1.5
is obsolete, but I've been unable to get sshd working on other
Cygwin installations and I'm unwilling to risk breaking sshd on this
one by upgrading to 1.7.

Gary
