I found aclocal.
It was named aclocal-1.16 or some such.
I tried searching find / -name 'aclocal*'
and it is deafly slow.
I tried in windows explorer and it came up fast.
I need to fix locate on this machine if i can do a wild card
search or just use explorer for quicker searches.
Use bash:
$ ll /*bin/aclocal*
you can also search subdirs with .../**/...
Don't worry about the bits - just install Cygwin packages autoconf, automake,
autogen, gcc-core, make and on Cygwin run from the source directory:
$ autoreconf -fiv
$ ./configure
$ make
although often an out of tree build is preferred to separate generated output
from source input, but there are quirks that cygport works around or allows you
to handle easily.
