    I've installed the newest cygwin including all the development software,
    and have downloaded the whole tarball to /usr/src/abiword-1.1.3

    I went into /usr/src/abiword-1.1.3/abi and issued the command ./configure

    everything was cool!

    when I then issued the command make I got the following:

    $ make

    Is this a problem with the source code itself, or something I'm doing wrong?
