[Anonymous]

Originally created by: grshiplett

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. cygwin ./configure writes 0 bytes Makefile
2. 0 bytes Makedef
3. 0 bytes paths.sh

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Makefile

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
config.log ends with exit 0

checkout of tag 020809 also results in current Win Xp cygwin autoconf and ./configure
producing a 0 byte Makefile

plan: ran autoconf under Cygwin then moved directory to Msys/1.0/home where ./configure
does produce makefiles and tweak as needed there (in progress at this time)

Unfortunately I've not been able to reproduce this problem.  On my version of cygwin
the configure script runs as expected and creates the makefiles correctly.  Latest
svn should build and run the test suite successfully.

Possibly your version of cygwin/sed has a bug mine doesn't.  My version of cygwin is
4.10.  sed --version gives 4.1.5.

One possible thing you could try is to edit the config.status file by hand to narrow
down the problem.

Kind regards

same error
my sed --v  also gives 4.1.5
as configure runs I seee nothing suspect until those errors
The log has

Hooray ! A cygwin build is running ... I have never been able to get configure to
gen a makefile
Answer appears to have been that XP sys INSTALL env var was pointing into an MSYS
bin and not into the cygwin/bin
