[Mingw-users] Problem bootstraping in msys

[C. K. <chr...@gm...>]

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.
