The autoconf package has been updated from version 2.52-1
to version 2.52-5. Two points:
1) This package is no longer the REAL autoconf. It's now
a set of wrapper scripts that call the REAL autoconf
from autoconf-stable or autoconf-devel, depending
on the needs of your target.
2) This update is part of a large restructuring of the
autotools. See the message posted to cygwin-announce
on 2001-12-02 entitled
"Restructuring the automake and autoconf packages"
for a full description
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link
on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to
your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick
up 'autoconf' from the 'Devel' category. You may need to click the
"Full" button if it doesn't show up. You might want to make sure
you update/install ALL of the following six packages:
autoconf
autoconf-stable
autoconf-devel
automake
automake-stable
automake-devel
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.
In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.
In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is already
updated.
In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date.
If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.
