Good; that's as it should be. > I installed msys using "MSYS-1.0.10.exe" You also need msysDTK, but if you use only the msysDTK-1.0.1 package, that installs only m4-1.4, which is too old. However, the solution is *not* to go build a native m4 to replace it; you should install the m4-1.4.7 update, which you will find as a separate download, in the same place as the original package: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=67879&release_id=131044 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/m4-1.4.7-MSYS.tar.bz2 Regards, Keith. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
