Re: facing error making autoconf - make[3]: *** [m4sugar.m4f] Error 1

[rden]

Hello,

I am currently trying to install autoconf and I'm facing the same problem,
though the solution you proposed seems not to work for me. 
I'm running MinGW 5.6.1, m4 1.4.15 atm and tried with autoconf 2.60, 2.61,
2.62 and 2.67 atm. I also added some M4 environment variable, no changes. 
However, I am not sure to have properly installed m4, as I'm completely new
at this. I've put the extracted files in my "C:/msys/1.0/bin" and done the
classical "configure/make/make install".

Here is my error:

mv version.m4-t version.m4
autom4te_perllibdir='../..'/lib AUTOM4TE_CFG='../../lib/autom4te.cfg'        
../../bin/autom4te -B '../..'/lib -B '../..'/lib                                
\
        --language=m4sugar                      \
        --freeze                        \
        --output=m4sugar.m4f
autom4te: freezing produced output:
autom4te:

....

autom4te: 
autom4te: 
make[3]: *** [m4sugar.m4f] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/c/build/autoconf-2.67/lib/m4sugar'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/build/autoconf-2.67'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any help welcomed...
Thanks in advance.
