Okay, it is now day 8 and I've almost gotten everything working. After repeated tries and double checking myself and yes a lot was human error, finally though I must be missing something or just need that little bit of help. I've seen this site and it is great, lots of people and great advice, I almost thought I'd only have to post a thanks and never a question but here goes.
Followed the guide but may have done something amiss, works perfectly up until the end. I am using cygwin, windows xp pro, tried once to put the windows copy in but still had save problems. I figured the smaug1.4a_mxp.tgz once compiled would work and I believe I'm close. Thank you for any assistance.

Er, wrong section, but anyways.

Basically it can't find the regex library.

"Edit Makefile, and make sure that there is no -lregex entry in it (which tells it to use the regex library)."

Remember, search is your friend.
