Greets. I'm having problems building libnw that are no doubt due to my ignorance. Any help would be appreceated.
Setup: Cygwin on WinXP
Steps:
- Fetched the libnw branch using WinCVS
- from openknights/libnw, ran
aclocal
autoconf
./configure
Problem:
aclocal/autoconf run with no problems, but configure complains about a missing 'missing', runs for a bit, then craps out on a missing './config.sub'.
I notice that these files -are- in the tarball for libnw-1.29.07, but are -not- in CVS. Did I miss a step that's supposed to auto-gen them?
If I unpack the tarball into a separate dir and run ./config & make then everything seems to build ok, so I suspect that my Cygwin install is ok and that I'm just leaving out a step.
Feel free to flail me if I'm posting this in the wrong place. Thanks for your help.

*bump*... anyone out there? wrong forum?
in CVS, there is an autogen.sh script... use this to generate the missing files. The "missing" file is a script installed by automake itself.
