Thanks for the help John.
This is the error i am getting. C:/check is where i have placed configure.ac
autoconf configure.ac
/mingw/bin/autoconf: /c/check/C:/MinGW/bin/autom4te: No such file or
directory
/mingw/bin/autoconf: exec: /c/check/C:/MinGW/bin/autom4te: cannot exe
cute: No such file or directory
autom4te file exists in this path C:/MinGW/bin/autom4te
