Summary: ./configure fails with MinimalSystem

Initial Comment:
I'm using minimal GNU for windows, not cygwin, and i'm
having this persistent message whan ./configure'ing
scsh 0.6.5:
...
checking for seteuid... no
checking for setreuid... no
./configure: ac_cv_func_setreuid: command not found
configure: error: "Neither setegid nor setregid
defined. Cannot continue."

I later tried with a cygwin version (not the most
recent one), and got the same result. 

What should I do to solve this? 

Thanks,
Edgar Gonçalves

I originally added the cygwin support and have tested it on a 
variety of machines before every release. I always upgrade to 
the latest cygwin when I test, and this has only ever caused 
one issue (I think when they changed preprocessor defines). 

I've never used mingw (if that is what you mean by 
MinimalSystem).

I will say that it does require more than the base cygwin. For 
example, clearly you need gcc as well, and some shell 
utilities. However, I've never seen the error you describe 
even when installing cygwin on a new machine and adding 
one package at a time just to build scsh.

Very weird: I have the same problem in both msys and cygwin :( 
Config.log says a lot of stuff, and ends with 
#|
configure:5265: result: no
configure:5274: error: "Neither setegid nor setregid
defined. Cannot continue."
|#

Could you mail me the binaries for windows (or post them
somewhere, i'll download them pronto)? i'll try downloading
cygwin and build it from scratch, but I'm so frustrated I
can't use scsh in windows just because ./configure needs a
function to know I'm root! :]

Thanks again,

I've recently compiled the most recent scsh on the most recent cygwin 
and it worked.  I think, it was minimal cygwin (no further packages 
installed), but I am not sure.

It looks like you are missing setegid or setregid. See the NOTES 
section of man setegid: these functions are possible since Linux 1.3.38.  
Maybe your minimal system is too minimal? What does config.log say?

Andreas.
