[avrdude-dev] Build on recent Cygwin

[Alex Shepherd]

Hi Guys,

I'm just setting up a new laptop and downloaded the current Cygwin dev
tools in the hope that I will be able to checkout from CVS and be able
to do a build of the latest code.

I'm just starting from the avrdude-4.1.0.tar.gz file as I have not
attacked the CVS bit yet, but I can CVS over SSH for SourceForge ok, so
I don't expect there to be much of a problem when I get to it. 

I can unzip the archive and run the ./bootstrap with no errors

When I run ./configure I get the following error towards the end (Full
output is appended below)

checking for parallel device... lpt1
checking for serial device... com1
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating
.infig.status: error: cannot find input file:

Here are the versions of automake and autoconf 

$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57

$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.7.6 

If I simply unpack the avrdude-4.1.0.tar.gz file and run ./configure it
builds ok. It complains a bit building the doc stuff but seems to
produce an executable.

I had a look in the list archives and note the discussions about the
version non-backward compatibilities of autoconf/make and so I guess
this is more of the same!

Suggestions?

Cheers

Alex Shepherd
