Hi,

How do I get cygwin to properly install or use autoconf 2.13.  The =
cygwin installer seems to want to install version 2.54, even when I =
de-select it, and I wind up with /usr/autotool/devel and =
/usr/autotool/stable branches of my cygwin root.  Since my mono build =
always fails at the end ("./configure;  Cannot fork: Resource =
temporarily unavailable") I assume v.2.54 of autoconf is default.  (My =
path variable to the dot-NET runtime is set when cygwin.bat is run, and =
I can run csc.exe from the cygwin bash prompt.)

I then tried dumping the contents of the /usr/autotool/stable folder =
into the /usr/autotool/devel folder after removing its contents, but got =
the following error upon running the script mono-build-w32.sh:

**Error**: aclocal failed. This may mean that you have not
installed all of the packages you need, or you may need to
set ACLOCAL_FLAGS to include "-I $prefix/share/aclocal"
for the prefix where you installed the packages whose
macros were not found

Should I just delete everything in /usr/autotool and unzip autoconf =
2.13?  What other packages are required? =20
My last option is to remove the autoconf 2.54 bundle from my cygwin =
package repository and reinstall the whole thing over again, but I =
really don't want to do this.  Here's what my package repository =
autoconf folder looks like:

cygwin/latest/autoconf/autoconf-2.52a-1.tar.bz2  (11.5 kb)
cygwin/latest/autoconf/autoconf-2.52-5.tar.bz2  (11.5 kb)      =20
cygwin/latest/autoconf/autoconf-stable/autoconf-stable-2.13-4.tar.bz2  =
(170 kb)
cygwin/latest/autoconf/autoconf-devel/autoconf-devel-2.52-4.tar.bz2  =
(456 kb)             =20

If I have to reinstall the whole cygwin distribution over again, then =
which of these files/folders should I remove?

Thank you.



Sincerely,

Steve Gallo
