Download here, where I see no need to register

If you try to download any of the items on that page you *will* see a need to register :-)

At least, it still does for me. However, part of the problem turns out to be some tricks that IE7 was playing on me, and I've now managed to grab the source.

No matter whether I try to build it in the MSYS shell or as a cross-compilation for native windows in Cygwin, ../dist/configure terminates with the error:

checking for socklen_t equivalent... configure: error: Cannot find a t
+ype to use in place of socklen_t
[download]

I haven't yet looked very hard for a solution to that.

Do you already have the Berkeley DB library ? If so, then I would have thought it would not be too difficult to build DB_File using that library and Strawberry Perl. (What errors do you get ?)

Cheers,
Rob
