I'm trying to configure/build OpenOffice on a Windows 7 box with VS
2013 installed.

I did a git clone of https://github.com/apache/openoffice using Git
Bash (which is just git wrapped in a MINGW32 environment).

Using cygwin I ran autoconf and then attempted to run configure as follows:

./configure 
--with-dmake-url=http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2
--with-epm-url=http://www.msweet.org/files/project2/epm-3.7-source.tar.gz
--with-frame-home="/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft
SDKs/Windows/v7.0A" --with-psdk-home="/cygdrive/c/Program Files
(x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0A"
--with-midl-path="/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft
SDKs/Windows/v7.0A/Bin" --disable-directx --disable-activex
--disable-atl

I get the following output/error:

checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /usr/bin/grep
checking for egrep... /usr/bin/grep -E
checking for gawk... gawk
checking for gawk... /usr/bin/gawk
checking for sed... /usr/bin/sed
checking for solenv environment... default
checking for custom pack.lst... no
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub

I have sh installed:

$ which sh
/usr/bin/sh

... and it appears to also be in /bin:

/bin
$ ls -l sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Bill None 700435 Jun  3 08:09 sh

I noticed in the guide for Windows
(https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Building_on_Windows)
it says: Make sure that you keep the filetype set to “Unix/binary”.
How do I do that? Where is that setting?

Any other thoughts on what's going wrong here?

Thanks...
