Hi all,
I'm trying to compile autoconf-2.64 using MinGW and MSYS, but am
unable to proceed past configure and/or make errors. I've used
automated MinGW installer to install first current, then previous
versions MinGW. Also, I've tried installing both current and previous
version of MSYS. The main problem is that configure errors are not
consistent. Here are three *subsequent* runs of configure, each with a
slightly different error:

As you can imagine, inconsistent errors make it very hard for me to
pinpoint the problem. I'm trying to compile under Windows XP SP3. What
could be causing this?
Best,
Denis.
