Then, for Texinfo, we probably should set ac_executable_extensions in djgpp/config.site, since I don't want to rely on the system-wide config.site to set that (or even to exist) in a typical DJGPP installation. If Autoconf has a similar DJGPP-specific directory in its distro, it could set ac_executable_extensions there and point CONFIG_SITE to that file. Thanks for explaining the other method (which should also be okay, I think). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
