[Jazzplusplus-user] I can't compile jazz++ using cygwin

[Patrick M. <pa...@ya...>]

I have WindowsXP Pro, sorry.  I have the newest vertion of cygwin as of 
Dec. 1.  I got jazz++ through cvs on Dec. 2.  When I run ./rebuild 
automake starts spewing errors and configure crashes.  Do I need to move 
to the dev list?  I set cygwin to defualt to unix style text file 
format.  Here is the output of ./rebuild

I am not a programmer.  Should I give up?
