Subject: How do I get an up to date dejagnu (1.4.2 or cvs) on cygwin?

I am trying to run the test suite of gcc under windows xp/cygwin.

Gcc needs dejagnu that is of version newer than what cygwin 
has as a regular package. I thus would like to build a newer
version myself. 

I tried the dejagnu-1.4.2.tar.gz sources, on configure and make,
only this was done:

chj AT D90V2D0J /usr/local/src/objdir-dejagnu
$ make
Making all in doc
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/objdir-dejagnu/doc'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/objdir-dejagnu/doc'
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/objdir-dejagnu'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/objdir-dejagnu'

chj AT D90V2D0J /usr/local/src/objdir-dejagnu
$

same this with a cvs sources based build.

However, there is something bothering me that shows up while
configuring:

$ head -20 configure.log
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
/usr/local/src/dejagnu/missing: Unknown `--run' option

chj AT D90V2D0J /usr/local/src/objdir-dejagnu
$

so I run the missing script with --help:

$ /usr/local/src/dejagnu/missing --help
/usr/local/src/dejagnu/missing [OPTION]... PROGRAM [ARGUMENT]...

Handle `PROGRAM [ARGUMENT]...' for when PROGRAM is missing, or return an
error status if there is no known handling for PROGRAM.

Options:
  -h, --help      display this help and exit
  -v, --version   output version information and exit

Supported PROGRAM values:
  aclocal      touch file `aclocal.m4'
  autoconf     touch file `configure'
  autoheader   touch file `config.h.in'
  automake     touch all `Makefile.in' files
  bison        create `y.tab.[ch]', if possible, from existing .[ch]
  flex         create `lex.yy.c', if possible, from existing .c
  lex          create `lex.yy.c', if possible, from existing .c
  makeinfo     touch the output file
  yacc         create `y.tab.[ch]', if possible, from existing .[ch]

chj AT D90V2D0J /usr/local/src/objdir-dejagnu
$

the aclocal, auto*, bison, flex, and makeinfo are there.

Adding symlinks from byacc to yacc and from flex to lex dows not
change the "failure" on configury.

Using rxvt gives me nothing better...

The problem is as far as I can understand dejagnu configure not finding
tclsh...

But then, how come that cygwin's dejagnu package works? 

Any thoughts on how to get dejagnu-1.4.x going under cygwin?


Cheers,
