Working assumption is that I haven't really "switched" to the new automake. I cannot get alternatives to take any combo of switches to "switch" to automake 1.9 /usr/sbin/alternatives --set automake automake-1.9 /usr/sbin/alternatives --set automake automake-1.9 /usr/bin/ info alternatives /usr/sbin/alternatives --remove automake /usr/sbin/alternatives --usage /usr/sbin/alternatives --dispaly automake Obviously my attempt to just "recreate the link" are insufficient. [How do multiple obsolete versions get installed on a CygWin machine AUTOMATICALLY, and how does the old automake1.4 get made the default without anyone doing that explicitly?] How does one fix this? $ ./autogen.sh configure.ac:18: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.9.6, configure.ac:18: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.ac:18: comes from Automake 1.4-p6. You should recreate configure.ac:18: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again. /usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL autogen.sh: exited by previous error(s), return code was 63 I have run aclocal naively: $ aclocal which modified the following files in the local directory: 31 Sep 30 11:08 config.guess -> /usr/share/libtool/config.guess 29 Sep 30 11:08 config.sub -> /usr/share/libtool/config.sub 28 Sep 30 11:08 ltmain.sh -> /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh 329028 Sep 30 11:08 aclocal.m4 0 Sep 30 11:08 autom4te.cache ...but then receive the same error message. Currently I have just printed the first 40+ pages of the autoconf manual, and suppose that I must learn how this stuff really works just to fix whatever has happened. -- Herb Martin -- 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/
