USE_READLINE

Hi all !

I've tried both solutions without success. I have noticed that 
#ifdef USE_READLINE
#include <readline/readline.h>
#include <readline/history.h> ...
has already been added to lua.c. So it should have worked out of the box, right?
The error messages are reported below.

So the problem is with cygwin/gcc. Does anybody know how to configure gcc to get
everything working in the cygwin environment?

Thanks again!
