regex-0.12 install help

[krishna S]

Thanks for your reply chris, i tried to nmake it but there was no
Makefile.vc in the regex folder instead there was a Makefile.in and it gave
me some error if i build it with nmake. So what i did was i thought of
building it with vc++ and so opened it in vc++ and built it but got this
error.

Cannot open include file: 'strings.h'

one more i wanna let you know, i am in last stages of mapserver compilation
and this is what error i get

mapregex.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _regcomp
mapregex.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _regerror
mapregex.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _regexec
mapregex.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _regfree
