If you use one of the official tarballs you don't need autoconf. You only need autoconf if you are building from the svn checkout - which I'd hazard you are not... If you install the MsysDTK (as I think the HowTo suggests) then autoconf ought to have been installed, though. > also the line ./configure what does the ./ mean? is this some > kind of shorthand for 'whatever the directory is' ? It's a posix shell thing, and yes, it means "look in this current directory" and is used here to ensure you get the specific configure script for this directory and not any other random thing called confiure that might be somewhere in your path...
