I just read into the documentation this sentence into description of BUILD_REQUIRES: Unlike REQUIRES, there is no auto-detection of build-time requirements. I will add it into my scripts, thank you for the suggestion. I think that the issue will be closed after applying the patch. So, for closing this thread, I followed your suggestion and I did a new, clean installation of CYGWIN and I just added cygport too, for a final test. Installing cygport also added gcc, binutils, autotools, etc. But I noticed that pkg-config is not installed. Actually, this forces me to add pkg-config to BUILD_REQUIRES, together with fftw3 and libsamplerate. I would say that almost ALL packages needs pkg-config. I also tried to rebuild another one of my packages into my repository and re-generation of autotools also failed. autoreconf-2.72: export WARNINGS= autoreconf-2.72: Entering directory '.' autoreconf-2.72: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf-2.72: running: aclocal --force configure.ac:57: error: macro PKG_INSTALLDIR is not defined; is a m4 file missing? configure.ac:57: the top level autom4te-2.72: error: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal-1.16: error: /usr/bin/autom4te-2.72 failed with exit status: 1 autoreconf-2.72: error: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 *** ERROR: autoreconf failed and: $ pkg-config bash: pkg-config: comand not found Not a big problem, because I executed again setup-x86_64.exe and I installed pkg-config myself. Perhaps, as dependency of cygport, pkg-config should be also added, but I don't know if it would be worth to do. Probably you already know that, but I'm reporting it for information. Sincerely, Carlo Bramini.
