Hum, this is a perl script not an executable. I installed it in the mingw directory and tried (under msys) to launch 'autogen.sh' from trunk svn. It stops with:

Using automake (GNU automake) 1.9.4
Using autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
Locating GNU m4... /bin/m4
Generate acinclude.m4... done.
aclocal not found -- aborting

Someone has an idea?

Thanks in advance,
Abdel.

The autotools are perl scripts, yes. However, if you're feeding a native Windows
tool a file path like /foo/bar then it's quite likely to interpret that as
switches, no?

I don't know. I see that there is no 'aclocal.m4' in my SVN repository while there is one in my CVS repository so I thought it was a SVN problem.

In other words, expect problems if you use this this tool from an
msys environment.

The people best placed to help are the mingw/msys people themselves...

I know but I have to subscribe to the list before posting... So I have postponed doing this until I have another email address.

Thanks,
Abdel.
