I investigated this problem and created a ticket with possible patches for the Autotools plugin at the eclipse.org bug tracker: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=267538 An easy way to work around this problem (without patching the Autotools plugin) with MSYS 1.0.11 is to define --srcdir=.. in the Project Properties (Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings->Tool Settings->configure->Features and packages->User specified configuration options) Or you could use my MinGW toolchain from january this year: ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/packages/windows/gwuwin32/gnuwin32-2009-01-01.7z It still contains MSYS 1.0.10 which comes with a dirname.exe that is broken, but that for this reason also prevents the problems with the colons and the backslashes when trying to build Freeciv. With a separate build directory inside the source directory the PWD variable needs to be undefined in the Project Properties. When building directly in the source directory this step is not necessary. _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
