Should './configure --version' print the version of Autoconf that was used to generate the 'configure' script? That seems to be what './configure --help' would suggest. While './configure --version' does emit some useful information, I do not yet see any version information about Autoconf, the project, or anything else.
http://sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_14.html This is under Cygwin on XP. I am still trying to build a shared library for use with graphviz. It would be helpful if someone who knows would tell me what I do not know. Suggestions welcomed. Thanks. $ ./configure --version FreeType build system -- automatic system detection The following settings are used: platform unix compiler gcc configuration directory ./builds/unix configuration rules ./builds/unix/unix.mk If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the file `config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help. Otherwise, simply type `make' again to build the library, or `make refdoc' to build the API reference (the latter needs python). cd builds/unix; ./configure --version Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
