Problems building Octave 2.1.10 with b20

Mon Nov 9 15:48:00 GMT 1998

I have been trying to build GNU Octave development version 2.1.10 using
cygwin b20. When I executed it I get the error message "Fatal: invalid
password object".
John Eaton sent me the following test program which compiled fine, but
outputted nothing when executed.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <pwd.h>
int
main (void)
{
 struct passwd *pw = getpwuid (getuid ());
 printf ("name: %s\n", pw->pw_name);
 printf ("passwd: %s\n", pw->pw_passwd);
 printf ("uid: %d\n", pw->pw_uid);
 printf ("gid: %d\n", pw->pw_gid);
 printf ("gecos: %s\n", pw->pw_gecos);
 printf ("dir: %s\n", pw->pw_dir);
 printf ("shell: %s\n", pw->pw_shell);
 return 0;
}
Then I tried a simpler program than above which produced an error.
int
main (void)
{
 printf ("hello\n");
 printf ("%s\n",getuid ());
 return 0;
}
The error message was an Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
I do not use passwords for running bash, and etc.
My O/S is Windows NT 4.0 SP3
What do I have to do get these programs to work?
