Hello everyone,
I have just joined a project where I will need access to autoconf and
autoreconf. I am running Windows XP x64, I use Msys as my shell, and have put
sezero's latest build at the front of the path so I can build 64-bit binaries.
The start of my path looks like:
$ echo $PATH
.:/c/mingw64-20101003/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:
I ran into some problems with the following file:
Source Forge->3rd party development tools->autotools-20100923.tar.xz
I unzipped it, and moved the contents of the bin directory to the folder:
/c/mingw64-20101003/bin
I then tried the following:
$ autoconf
Cannot find autoconf-wrapper (2.68)
$ autoreconf
Cannot find autoconf-wrapper (2.68)
----------------------------------------------------
I then copied the contents of autoconf-wrapper into autoconf and autoreconf. I
made the following changes in those two files:
In autoconf:
LOCATION="/c/mingw64-20101003/bin"
#COMMAND=${0##*/}
COMMAND="autoconf"
In autoreconf:
LOCATION="/c/mingw64-20101003/bin"
#COMMAND=${0##*/}
COMMAND="autoreconf"
----------------------------------------------------
Now when I run the autoconf and autoreconf on the command line I get:
$ autoconf
autoconf-2.68: error: no input file
$ autoreconf
/c/mingw64-20101003/bin/autoreconf: /c/mingw64-20101003/bin/autoreconf-2.68: No
such file or directory
/c/mingw64-20101003/bin/autoreconf: /c/mingw64-20101003/bin/autoreconf-2.68: No
such file or directory
----------------------------------------------------
If I just run autoconf-2.68 or autoreconf-2.68 I get:
$ autoconf-2.68
autoconf-2.68: error: no input file
$ autoreconf-2.68
sh: /c/mingw64-20101003/bin/autoreconf-2.68: No such file or directory
If I try an autoreconf that isn't there I get:
$ autoreconf-2.41
sh: autoreconf-2.41: command not found
----------------------------------------------------
So, it looks like autoconf is working just fine, however, can anyone tell what
I
might be doing wrong with autoreconf? If you need any more information from
me,
please let me know.
