Frode reported here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=13962147 that the current release versions of both autoconf and automake can be built OOTB, with MinGW/MSYS. Also, autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.9.5 can be installed using the mingwPORTs, available from the MinGW download pages on SourceForge: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/autoconf-2.59-mingwPORT.tar.bz2?download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/automake-1.9.5-mingwPORT.tar.bz2?download You really shouldn't need to persist with the obsolete versions you are using.
