Ok, you guys lost me about 5 posts back, but since I started this I figured I better report back... > Norman Vine wrote: > > > [snip] >cd $FG_SRC >rm config.cache >rm -f *.lnk # remove symlinked auto* files >ls -la *.lnk # just to make sure they got removed ># you might have to remove them one at a time ># then try the standard >aclocal >automake -a >autoconf >./configure
Tried this, didnt help - it was a virgin FGFS-0.7.8 install and didnt seem to have any *.lnk files >>Maybe Im back to looking at mounting binary volumes >>to be able to use the older automake >>and autoconf versions? >Well I would reccomend doing this anyway esp. if you Turns out I already DID have a unix (as opposed to DOS) filesystem on the Cygwin install (I didnt understand that this was what was meant by a binary volume?) but, I bit the bullet, and did a clean re-install of the latest Cygwin, and also the latest FGFS-0.7.8, and then added (using vim) the AC_PREREQ( 2.13 ) as the first line in configure.in, did rm config.cache aclocal automake -a autoconf ./configure And then.. it worked fine. 0 errors. If I was to guess, I think I probably had some DOS formatted files in the Cygwin installation. I normally use a W2k text editor that asks before it will convert unix text files to DOS, but its quite possible I slipped up at some point when opening a file to try and figure out what was going on after the intial problems with the "INCLUDES +=" errors. I didnt realize (but I now assume) that the Cygwin configure/make process would be sensitive to the text file format? Thank you very much for the help; now at least I can start fighting bugs that are (more directly) of my own creation. - Derek Lisoski __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
