There is/was a long standing bug in the Cygwin Perl distro that has/had problems 'sometimes'. automake or is it autoconf I forget which seems to tickle it' FYI - I thought that this had been fixed but it may just be that it is only fixed in the 'bleed' Perl distribution if you compile it yourself. I have circumvented the problem by using 'unix' mounts and editors that understand the dfference between unix and dos files. Cygwin vi, cygwin emacs, other editors compiled with Cygwin and my personal favorite epsilon http://www.lugaru.com FYI - I can duplicate your problem when not using AC_PREREQ(2.13) and am still scratching at it :-( >Thank you very much for the help; now at least I can >start fighting bugs that are (more directly) of my own >creation.
