Sorry, I should not have confused you with this. It is not surprising that it says that autoconf is not known because this is the attempt with MSYS configured to use activestate perl, not the MSYS perl. So autoconf cannot be found when it is called _from a perl script_, even though it is in the *MSYS* PATH, because activestate perl does no know the MSYS PATH but only the MSW PATH. > Have you tried a released version at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo > which doesn't need autoconf or automake? I have autoconf and automake installed, but they can be invoked only from MSYS, as soon as you go into some MSW native stuff, they cannot be any longer called from there. Please have a look at the following log in my previous email where I call make with MSYS configured to use the MSYS, not activestate, perl. Then the log is quite longer, and it fails because for some reason some`t-ca.us-ascii.gmo' file has not been created during the build. VBR, Vincent.
