Hello,
It seems to me that the files Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, configure (and
the like) are missing from the folder (and sub-folders of)
newlib-cygwin/winsup
found within the
cygwin-3.3.0-0.1.9814cfd8f693.src/newlib-cygwin-3.3.0.tar.bz2 file
stored in cygwin-3.3.0-0.1.9814cfd8f693-src.tar.xz.
The build now uses automake, and the missing files you refer to are
all generated. Start by running winsup/autogen.sh.
This is a very bad idea (as I had commented before). There are too many
build system around already and now there's even a proprietary script to
run as a first step for cygwin. If there's anything useful that this
script accomplishes, why can't it just be invoked automatically from the
makefile or configure script so everything works as expected? It's a
gross violation of the principle of least surprise.
