I'm afraid I disagree with this. I knew very little about unix or cygwin when I first used the cross-compiler and found it a useful learning exercise as well as extremely useful once you overcome the problems and can actually use it. > > Even if you solve the autoconf version problem, you're still going to > have to find a working version of autogen... > > However, if you'd like to persevere ;) Alan Buckley is probably the > person to ask - perhaps he'll contribute here :) > That's me! The important thing is to check you have the correct version of things installed as mentioned in the README. I also use the following file I cut and paste into a cygwin session to get me going. export GCCSDK_INSTALL_CROSSBIN=/home/riscos/cross/bin export LTCONFIG_VERSION=1.4a-GCC3.0 export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.9 In fact as I usually end up having to continue the compilation so I usually change to the gcc4 directory and paste the following in as well. cd builddir-cross make Please take time to study the README file with gcc4 as re-reading that has usually got me out of a hole. Just a warning. It takes ages to build the cross-compiler here on Windows Vista so you may need to show a lot of patience.
