I had a nice working Cygwin system and could compile my own copies of the Cygwin.dll and more for my purposes a copy of Setup.exe. I am using Win2k and have kept my system up to date. Last Friday my system experienced some malfunction that apparently resulted in some FAT corruption. I had to delete a file to even get the ChkDsk to complete and it found many bad links in files and cross links ad whatever. Basically ended up loosing bits and pieces of several days. Several things were affected in my Cygwin environment as well (some of my CVS for Setup and Cygwin and so on). My CVS on Setup was hosed pretty badly to the point I deleted it all and checked it out again from CVS. Currently I am at the point where I can compile the Cygwin Dll and have several times just for assurance but I cannot get the bootstrap.sh to run in Setup. I reinstalled all the Autoconf and automake and then reinstalled m4 and then uninstalled them and reinstalled them and finally today I reinstalled all of the packages I have installed and tried again to run bootstrap.sh - I still get the following error: ~ $ cd /usr/develop/src/cygwin-apps/setup /usr/develop/src/cygwin-apps/setup $ ./bootstrap.sh Running bootstrap.sh in libgetopt++ unknown channel $-5 at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/Channels.pm line 538 Autom4te::Channels::msg('$-5', 'configure.in:14', 'warning: $-6') called at /usr/bin/autom4te-2.5x line 1008 aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 aclocal failed Autotool bootstrapping failed. You will need to investigate and correct before you can develop on this source tree Continuing with bootstrap in current directory unknown channel $-5 at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/Channels.pm line 538 Autom4te::Channels::msg('$-5', 'configure.in:32', 'warning: $-6') called at /usr/bin/autom4te-2.5x line 1008 aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 aclocal failed Autotool bootstrapping failed. You will need to investigate and correct before you can develop on this source tree /usr/develop/src/cygwin-apps/setup $ I'm at a loss as to what else could be affecting this. Short of removing Cygwin completely and doing a fresh install - I'm at a loss. As of this writing even that has been accomplished since I have now installed cygwin on a new Windows XP laptop and reinstalled my cygwin and setup cvs copies. I can still build cygwin - but same error above on setup. Any ideas - has anyone else run into this or been able to compile setup in the last few days. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. bk -- 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/
