[Box Backup] OpenSSL 1.0.0-beta3 for Box Backup/Boxi

[scartomail]

Hi Achim,

I have tried to compile the boxbackup beta3 according to your howto:
http://cuba-project.org/HOWTO_Compile_Box_Backup_from_source

I ended up with an error after the make command.
It starts to compile and after a minute or so I get this error:
make: *** [pcretest.exe] Error 1

In your howto you describe all the packages that need to be installed with cygwin. At the end of the cygwin installation there is loose text that says: PCRE
I could not find it in the web department of cygwin packages so I googled it.
It seems to be some development package that emulates...bla bla.
So I searched the development packages of cygwin and found the following 2 packages: 
devel/prce
devel/prce-devel
And I installed them both.

Are these the correct packages I should use during installation?
Because the make command has an error that says pcretest.exe Error, I was wondering: if that was due to a package error or compilation error?
