[postgis] Compiling MapServer for PostGis on Windows NT

Hi all,

Maybe it is not the right place for this question, but as it concerns
precisely mapserver AND postgis...

After a successful postgres/postgis installation on Windows NT (many
thanx to Mr Ono for his tips), I wanted to use mapserver to display
data.
I downloaded mapserver 3.5 nightly build sources in order to compile
them with the --with-postgis option.
I could successfuly compile mapserv.exe and other programs with cygwin,
but when I try to access a .map file, I have the following message (both
when accessing "normal" layers with .shp or postgis layer with postgis
connection):
msLoadMap(): Regular expression error. (\.map$)
(the mapfile worked with the previous mapserver version)

It seems the regexp is not well integrated into the mapserv.exe, though
regexp is working in the cygwin environment.

Any help would really appreciated.

Thanx
Nicolas Ribot.

PS: I'm running Windows NT, Postgres 7.1.3, PostGis 0.6.1, with Apache
and PHP module (phpPgAdmin is used to manage PostGres)
PPS: I also try to compile mapserv.exe with visual studio and the
provided makefile.vc, but the exe is crashing each time I try to access
a mapfile.
