The latest version of automake available at http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml is msys-automake-1.8.2.tar.bz2
There's also automake-1.9.5-mingwPORT.tar.bz2which is essentially a script that enables one to unpack, build and install the official automake sources from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/I've done that. Unfortunately, the result is rather sad :( Having removed the old autom4te.cache, aclocal.m4 and acinclude.m4 from my LyX tree and modified autogen.sh to point to the new aclocal, automake, so:
#!/bin/sh
ACLOCAL="aclocal-1.9 -I ${PWD}/m4"
AUTOHEADER="autoheader"
AUTOMAKE="automake-1.9 --add-missing --copy --force-missing --foreign"
I find that running autogen.sh produces the attached output.
Any clues?
As things stand, I'm afraid that the port of automake 1.9 to Windows isn't
yet ready for prime time. (Hence it isn't part of MSYS yet). That means I
can build neither LyX 1.4 nor tex2lyx on Windows using mingw/msys. (This is
with an otherwise pristine source tree.)
