There is no configure script in CVS, since it's a generated file.  You =
need to build it yourself.

The correct way to do this is the sequence

aclocal
automake
autoconf

Then you should be able to proceed with ./configure, etc.

Hi, I just tried to pull down the code in the CVS repository and build =
it under MinGW.  I don't see a "configure" script at the top level, as =
there is in the January release.  I tried to build one with autoconf and =
got this error:
  =20
  $ autoconf
configure.in:3: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use =
m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.in:18: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

  I looked into this a little bit.  Before I go monkeying with my =
aclocal version or anything, I wanted to ask if there is a simple =
solution that is already known for this.

Thanks.
   
  I'm getting an error when I run through these steps.  Perhaps it's a version problem?
   
  These are my versions:
       aclocal 1.7.1
       automake 1.7.1
       autoconf 2.56

  The error I get when running configure is this:
   
       configure: creating ./config.status
     ./config.status: line 395: syntax error near unexpected token `\"'
     ./config.status: line 395: `  "\" ) CONFIG_FILES="$CONFIG_FILES \" ;;'

  I saw this error when running 'autoconf --verbose'..
   
       autom4te: creating configure
       autom4te: formatting traces for `/tmp/am4t674.3848/patterns': m4_pattern_allow, m4_pattern_forbid
       autom4te: forbidden tokens: ^_?A[CHUM]_|_AC_|^LIBOBJS$|^_?m4_|^dnl$|^_?AS_
       autom4te: forbidden token : ^LIBOBJS$ => do not use LIBOBJS directly, use AC_LIBOBJ (see section `AC_LIBOBJ vs LIBOBJS'
       autom4te: allowed tokens: ^AM_[A-Z]+FLAGS$|^AS_FLAGS$
   
  Thanks is advance if this makes sense to anyone.  The syntax does look very odd in config.status, as though a couple of strings are being put together incorrectly for every Makefile path.
