In the "Devel" set of packages you will find automake, autoconf, libtool, git etc. and then you can use "git" to get the latest version of smalltalk and build with: autoreconf -vi ./configure make If you haven't installed the appropriate cygwin version of a package, then it is possible cygwin will locate one elsewhere on your computer and cause problems. The safest option might be to remove, or else make sure they are not in your windows PATH, other autoconf, m4, libtool etc. versions. Alternatively, you can type in cygwin e.g. which m4 To see where a particular command is located - you should see something like "/usr/bin/m4" but if it starts with "/cygdrive/c/..." then it has located a version elsewhere on the computer that may cause problems If you want to later use MinGW, then you can avoid having to install autoconf etc. there by typing "make dist" in the cygwin environment to create a "smalltalk-3.1.tar.gz" file which will have configure already included - copy to and unpack this file in your MinGW environment Regards, Freddie -- Scanned by iCritical. _______________________________________________ help-smalltalk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-smalltalk
