[sos] Autotools and Cygwin?

[F. Girault]

Hi,

I have been trying to compile a small sample program with automake over
cygwin following 
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/automake/Creating-amhello.html#Creating-amhello
a simple tutorial  but the ./configure command fails in the beginning of the
configuration process. I got the following error:
(Automake/Autoconf version are included just in case):


address@hidden /bin
$ automake --version

It seems that it should look for [config.status] instead of [.in'ig.status]
there... Is it a problem with cygwin? I thought that cygwin supported
autotools natively, doesn't it? Does it require some adjustments?

Many thanks in advance for any help.
