Hello autoconf users I have build autoconf-2.59c (ftp source) for Interix and the build process went on with no problems. When I run 'make check' some tests fails. Please help me to evaluate the seriosness of these failed tests. ERROR: 272 tests were run, 8 failed (5 expected failures). 7 tests were skipped. Is there something I could do to correct things? Maybe some unix utils is missing which the tests depend on (ie gettext)? My system: Windows 2003 R2 with Interix 5.2 Interix Korn shell Interix BSD sed exchanged by GNU sed 4.1.5 Interix BSD make exchanged by GNU make 3.81 Interix BSD m4 exchanged by GNU m4 1.4.4 Interix gcc is the active compiler bison 2.1 is not yet installed Thanks Jerker I attach the configure 'config.log' and the tests 'testsuit.log' and list the shell output here (sorry for the long list):
