Hi, I have been trying to compile a small sample program with automake over cygwin following http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/automake/Creating-amhello.html#Creating-amhello a simple tutorial but the ./configure command fails in the beginning of the configuration process. I got the following error: (Automake/Autoconf version are included just in case):

Is it a problem with cygwin? I thought that cygwin supported autotools natively, doesn't it? Does it require some adjustments? Many thanks in advance for any help. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/-sos--Autotools-and-Cygwin--tp27241026p27241026.html Sent from the Gnu - Automake - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
