Hi.  The build seems to go fine for a while, but fails in the lib/
directory.  This part looks strange:

The LOCALEDIR may be the confusing part.  Maybe it doesn't like the \ in
the paths.  Could you try running ./configure with:

./configure --with-libiconv-prefix=D:/cygopt/kde-utils 
--with-libintl-prefix=D:/cygopt/kde-utils --prefix=D:/cygopt/kde-utils

rather than:

./configure --with-libiconv-prefix=D:\\cygopt\\kde-utils 
--with-libintl-prefix=D:\\cygopt\\kde-utils --prefix=D:\\cygopt\\kde-utils

alternatively if it doesn't work, something like
'/mingdrive/d/cygopt/kde-utils'.  The '/mingdrive' part may be off, but
I recall that there is some virtual path in mingw that goes to a
directory of DOS drives.
