After some actual inspection, and a bit of RTFMing, things became clearer. There is indeed a general bug in the original source that requires fixing. The following line is sorely missing from the top-level Makefile.am: ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 It doesn't look like this should be buildable without that line, on any other platform. If it does, their gnome-autogen.sh must be rather different from Cygwin's. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
