Thus, there's nothing to wrap -- and copying the 2.5x version is certainly wrong -- because now aclocal will invoke autoconf-2.5x operations on a 2.13-specific project. So PLEASE remove this guaranteed-to-break-stuff suggestion from your catdoc README: test -e /usr/bin/autom4te-2.13 || ln -s /usr/bin/autom4te-2.5x /usr/bin/autom4te-2.13 The real reason you got an error is described in this thread: "Ping autoconf maintainer (was Re: auto tools issues)" http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-07/msg00352.html I encourage you to read the whole thing. (A possible workaround for your problem in building catdoc is to have your cygport script create a symlink within your build directory: aclocal -> /usr/bin/aclocal-${VER}, and then put the builddir in front of the PATH. This has the advantage of not permanently modifying the the regular cygwin environment just for catdoc-building) -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
