Actually I don't really know what the problem is, the situation is the following, I want to bootstrap something in the MSYS shell, but there is an error due to a /tmp directory not beeing empty. I get the following output: $ ./bootstrap Removing old files... mkdir: cannot create directory `config': File exists aclocal -I config ' is already registered with AC_CONFIG_FILES. /mingw/src/autoconf/26/autoconf-2.67/lib/autoconf/status.m4:290: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from... configure.ac:93: the top level /bin/m4: cannot remove temporary directory /tmp/m4-i5yTtW: Directory not empty autom4te-2.67: /bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal-1.11: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 Im pretty new to this and the only thing I can see here is that the name of the tmp directory changes every time. Searching google just resulted in a similar problem someone had using cygwin, there it could be solved by turning of McAfee Antivir software. But I don't use McAfee and turning off my antivir didn't help (tried that one) I hope that someone might be able to help me on this problem, even though I have the feeling the error doesn't give that much information on what the problem might be. |

It is a Windows inherent issue and occurs differently for different disk devices. I had similar issues with another package when configuring on the local C:\ drive and moved the package to a USB hard drive and the symptoms went away. -- Earnie -- http://www.for-my-kids.com |

By default, Windows enables write caching for hard drives and disables it for removable drives. Regards, Alias John Brown. |

I had to do the same to Makefile.am before it finally worked. ;) I should note I'm using mingw/msys too. |
