The problem is that something's b0rken in mutt's 1.4 configure script, because in config.h, ICONV_CONST isn't defined at all. Opening the file and #define ICONV_CONST const helped me compile mutt 1.4.0 sucessfully. I even didn't need to patch it to fix my problem. Now I can tell you what the problem is: the standard Cygwin mutt is version 1.2.5.x and this one doesn't work with the M$ Exchange server I have to connect to at work, which has German umlaut in its folder names. mutt 1.4.x's imap implementation works much better :-) > Do you have a compiled iconv library on your system? No, any reason I would need one? Should I just download one from GNU and compile it? There seems to be no Cygwin package.
