    When I try to build remake on Windows XP sub_proc.c failed with
    sub_proc.c(10) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'config.h': No such file or directory
    I followed the instructions from README.W32 but can't find a hint how to create config.h.

    Can anyone help me please.

    Thanks in advance,
    Uwe

      In contrast to GNU Make, remake has never to my knowledge been built using any of the Microsoft C Compilers. (It also doesn't work for VMS, riscos, and amiga even though GNU make does).

      I have compiled it under cygwin and that works.

      Since remake is derived off of GNU Make, it copied all of the files from that. README.W32 probably should be removed then since it's not relevant for remake.

      config.h is created when the POSIX shell script "configure" is run.

        Thanks for that fast response. I will manage to get cygwin and try to build under cygwin.

        Bye for now,
        Uwe
