Hi,
    I'd like to ask a question which I met when
I tried configurating Lemberg's program hbf2gf
on my system which is Windows 98 with djgpp
installed. I have djgpp's autoconf  2.13.

     First I run the configure which originally were in the packages,
atempting to create a makefile because the original makefile were
designed for the system with emtex, but I got the message

there is no gcc in $path.

   So I used autoconf to create  a new configure and run
./configure, 
then I got message

cannot run config.sub

  I compare the original configure with new one,
here is a part of the difference:
in the original configure there is

if $ac_config_sub sun4 >/dev/null 2>&1; then :

and in new one, it is

if ${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} $ac_config_sub sun4 >/dev/null 2>&1; then :

Then I removed all ${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh}'s  in the new configure, it
became to work and created a makefile for me.
  I'd like to ask why I could not get a correct configure by running
autoconf or how should I modify the configure.in that designed for UNIX
to get a workable configure on DJGPP by running the autoconf.

 Sincerely
Wei-Xue Shi
