I have performed a search for a conftest.obj file and it does not exist. As I mentioned in an earlier email, build of libtool failed to produce any .obj files. I have installed MinGW. Does it not have gcc? If not, how do I ensure make check is using gcc? (I am new to this build environment.) --Howard Larson mailto:hblarson@xxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: Ralf Wildenhues [mailto:Ralf.Wildenhues@xxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 16:08 To: Howard Larson Cc: autoconf@xxxxxxx Subject: Re: [autoconf 2.63] 95 of 353 tests fail Hello Howard, Thanks for the report.

You change so many things that it will be impossible to find out what caused, or fixed, a bug. In this case, most test failures (I didn't check them all) are caused by leftover conftest.obj files in the build tree. In itself that is probably an Autoconf bug; while the test | checking for suffix of object files... (cached) obj detects the correct extension, the files are either produced in link tests by cl.exe when configure doesn't expect them, or something else is amiss. Anyway, you can try to run the testsuite using gcc (simply install it somewhere in your $PATH), or try to debug one simple configure file in one testsuite.dir/*/ directory of a failed test (add 'set -x' to the script and run it), to see where it fails to clean up after cl.exe.
