Hi Jeff, thanks for the report. FAIL: acloca22.test (exit: 1) This seems like a weird failure, no clue what the cause might be... could you please try to run the test by hand to see if the failure is still there? You can do something like this: $ cd /software/source/automake-1.11/tests/ $

Weird. I cannot reproduce your issue with that make version on GNU/Linux. Which file system does this happen on, maybe a case-insensitive one and there is another file in the source or the build tree matching the name (or parts of the dirname) case-insensitively? Great tip! I forgot this

Hello  I'm certainly quite eager to see this in Automake and Libtool. I suspect this will hit the sweet spot for a lot of autotools users. the problem I see is that a lot's of peoples relies on pkg-config during the configuration phase. How can we deal with this on windows platform ?
