Thank you, Nickolay
At the moment both the autoconf and the automake are installed and seem to
work. I have to work down the cygwin message list to find other packages.
Getting closer and closer to a solution, I hope.
Looks like I have to prefer packages with GNU in the
name if there are more files with similar names to choose between.
Am still missing some packages, but I'm working on it.

Hi all of you
Hi Kolbjørn, you are welcome
Thank you
I’m not quite sure of what a sandbox is, but I’m trying to make my
own.
On my way to Linux I have installed Cygwin (a program simulating
Unix/Linux on Windows) on my Windows XP with the gimp-help-2 in the
cygwin/bin folder.
Running './autogen.sh --without-gimp' in the Cygwin window results in
a message telling me that I have to install autoconf and automake 1.6
or newer.
Since there are lots of autoconf and automake files spread around in
different folders it seems to me that the necessary files are on
place, but the sh.exe does not know where to find them. So, my
question is: If this is right, how to tell sh.exe the right paths? If
I’m wrong, what am I to do to? (Some day or other I will be switching
to Linux, but in the meantime ….)
Are you sure you have recent automake installed? What does "automake
--version" command print to you? Can you look in cygwin package manager,
is new automake there?
Yes, I found - and installed a GNU version. It works!
You can find missing packages on http://www.cygwin.com/packages/
I am a newcomer to Linux and have no idea of what’s wrong. (I have
browsed the cygwin FAQ sites for any help, but found nothing).
I also downloaded autogen and autoconf from GNU, but found no way to
install them in cygwin. It look likes the only way to make changes in
cygwin is to run the setup program using cygwins own downloads.
No, it's possible to install autoconf and automake from GNU, but it
requires some experience. I think for you it's better to use cygwin
package manager.
Agree.
I think the solution is more Unix or Linux like and have nothing to do
with Windows. Therefore I hope on some help from you, or am I better
off trying the cygwin forum?
Well, cygwin people will help, but we would be happy to give an advise too.
Thanks.
Some of us are working with cygwin, so it's certainly possible to create
gimp-help setup with it. Although it's sometimes untrivial task.
Using cygwin was meant as temporary use. If I get it to work it will
perhaps be the one I will be using. Who knows?
