Thank you very much, I have downloaded all necessary archives.
But I see that autoconf is nothing else than a bash script:
the first line of it is
#! /dev/env/DJDIR/bin/bash.exe

Does it mean, that for such a simple task as compiling
gnuchess under Win32, I need to search for the bash
script interpreter for Windows, then install it, and only
then maybe it will work (though, maybe it will demand
anything else to be installed, and so on and so on...) ?

Can anyone tell where I can read about installation bash
under WinNT and where to download it from?

Thanks very much in advance.

Best regards,
  Ihor.

P.S. Sorry, that maybe I tired all of you with my questions,
but I need NO long explanations how to do something, I need just
short hints like "get <something> there, read <that>", etc.
