Notmuch mail indexer - talloc requirement?

[Joe Rochette <joerochette at fastmail dot com>]

Hi, 

I've been using mutt and offlineimap for sometime in cygwin to make my
windows system feel more at home.  

What I do miss however from my linux systems is the notmuch mail
indexer.  (http://notmuchmail.org/) 

According to the source tarball INSTALL file notmuch depends on four
libraries: Xapian, GMime 2.4 or 2.6,
Talloc, and zlib.  I believe i can get each of these from cygwin
packages with the exception of Talloc:

    Talloc
    ------
    Talloc is a memory-pool allocator used by Notmuch.

    Talloc is an extremely lightweight and easy-to-use tool for
    allocating memory in a hierarchical fashion and then freeing
    it with a single call of the top-level handle. Using it has
    made development of Notmuch much easier and much less prone to
    memory leaks.

    Talloc is available from http://talloc.samba.org/


I have attempted to compile Talloc (to in-turn compile Notmuch) and
after a long-running ./configure step i get an error on make which is
pasted below:   

[joe@my_pc talloc-2.1.1]$ make

WAF_MAKE=1 PATH=buildtools/bin:../../buildtools/bin:$PATH waf build
Waf: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/Users/joe/talloc-2.1.1/bin'

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.9.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Waf: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/Users/joe/talloc-2.1.1/bin'

        {task: cc_link pytalloc_util_6.o -> cygpytalloc-util-2.dll}
Makefile:6: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 1


Any ideas on what might be the issue?  Is anyone running notmuch (or
talloc) for anything out there?

Thanks in advance,
