They did have a major change, but adding AC_PREREQ(2.13) is a way of making the files compatible with the new CygWin autotools (the auto-detecting ones that explicitely look for this), while still remaining compatible with the old ones. I use the old versions of the tools and they work fine with or without that line. I hope that's right because I recently asked Curt to add that line in both SimGear/configure.in and FlightGear/configure.in. - Julian _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
