What problems are you having with autoconf on MSYS/MinGW?
Build of Autoconf-2.6[01] fails for me with:
"The system cannot find the specified file"
I've spent some time understanding this; I made some progress, but not
to the point of getting pass that failure. my frustration with windows
is only growing.
I built autoconf-2.61 and m4-1.4.9 directly from the gnu distribution
sources. Provided you have upgraded m4 first, autoconf passes all
tests.
I'm using m4-1.4.9 and ActivePerl-5.8.9 build 820.
Apparently you can also install autoconf-2.61 and m4-1.4.7 binaries
from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=148008
yes, i donwloaded the autoconf package from there last night; I've
not tried that version yet.
I ran build-setup.sh with autoconf-2.61 to create a new ./configure
and built build-improvements on my Solaris 10.2 x86 system and on
Windows without any problems.
Is there any particular reason you want to continue using the older
version autoconf-2.60? (I think you can, but I haven't actually built
2.60 on MSYS/MinGW.)
my three main linux boxes are running that version,
