Subject: Make fails for various programs

Hello,

With the latest CygWin release I try to compile programs like gnuplot,
gamma, emacs, aspell etc. I did this successfully in the past with a
older CygWin release.

The story is always the same ./configure works (at least in my opinion)-
make fails with messages like:

$ ./missing --run autoconf
Can't find /usr/autotool/stable/bin/autoconf
WARNING: `autoconf' is missing on your system.  You should only need it
if
         you modified `configure.in'.  You might want to install the
         `Autoconf' and `GNU m4' packages.  Grab them from any GNU
         archive site.

although 'which' tells me: /bin/autoconf

Yesterday I have read the discussion about the autotools (end of
November, begin of December
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg01789.html). Unfortunately I'm
only a 'user'. I just need the programs for my work. I did not really
understood the discussion between Robert Collins and Soren A.

However, I have checked the versions of autoconf-devel (2.57-1) and
automake (1.7.1-1) and also find a line like
AC_PREREQ(2.13)
in the configure.in (for gnuplot 3.8i.0 for instance) as suggested by
Charles Wilson (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg01793.html). All
looks appropriate.

BTW: The Windows binary of gnuplot I can build with CygWin (most likely
because configure is not used). Only the compilation for the CygWin
environment itself (for use with X11) fails.

Is there anybody who could try my to explain how I can get all this
stuff compiled? Sorry, if it obvious, but I have spend hours already...

Many thanks for help
Petrik
