Hallo again! I wrote to Sigbjorn F. because he also responded to a question concerning the building of ghjc-4.08 under WinNT and he replied that he is no longer involved and I should send a Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] So that's it now: >After seting the MAKE_MODE variable I rerun configure and make boot and now it looks like I do need autoconf even if I want do build from a source >distribution, because I get an error: >------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- >==fptool== make boot --unix --no-print-directory -r; >in /Haskell/fptools/ghc/rts >------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- >if [ ! -f gmp/configure ] ; then (cd gmp && autoconf ); fi; >/bin/sh: autoconf: command not found >make[2]: *** [boot] Error 127 >make[1]: *** [boot] Error 1 >make: *** [boot] Error 1 > >If this is the case because of a missing autoconf then the building guide should in the Win32 section mention that you need autoconf eveb if you use a >source distribution. I had not set the other variables mentioned in the "User Manual" properly at that time simply because I didn't know I had to read it before installing. So it might be that it works without autoconf if everything is set propoerly. But first I can not try it because I installed autoconf to process further on, and second I don't think that any of the missing variables should influence cygwin in a way that it can not find autoconf. So maybe someone can try if autoconf is realy needed. Thanks, Andreas PS: I just remember that my FreeBSD machine has an WinNT to that also has cygwinb20 installed and no autoconf as far as I know. So I can try it if you want, but it will take a few days because I have to get a working profiling first.
