Been there, done that. The original configure scripts won't run on DJGPP
platforms without some minor trickery. Usually, a batch file or a shell
script which does that trickery and then invokes ./configure is the way
to make things configure and build for DJGPP users. I would expect some
README file in the source distribution to explain the necessary steps.

BAD idea. set INSTALL=${DJDIR}/bin/ginstall -c before running the
script, so that the right install program is used when you later
say "make install".

These are probably bogus (do you really have Automake installed?), since
the ported Bash causes parenthesized commands to always return a zero
status, even if they actually failed. To get these tests to return a
correct result, some simple editing of the configure script is required
(remove the parens around the commands and replace them with the
`command`-style forms).

You need to set PATH_SEPARATOR=: and PATH_EXPAND=y before running the
script; then it will work. The script relies heavily on the fact that
directories in PATH are separated by colons, not semi-colons as usual on
MS-DOS/MS-Windows.

Thanks for the info.
