That worked, thanks!


It still didn't configure though. Now it's complaining about not having 
clang installed. Once I installed clang and clang-devel, it then 
complained about not having version 9 installed. The latest version from 
cygdrive was 8<something>, 9 is not an option. If I try to trick it by 
copying and renaming the older 8<something> version, it then complains 
about Index.h being found but not being compileable and to report it here.


Any advice here? I tried installing more extra stuff from Visual Code 
Studio to see if it'd help, but it doesn't or I'm not installing the 
right things.
