bison-cvs on cygwin

[Oleg Smolsky]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build the current CVS/HEAD on cygwin, and the bootstrap
script fails with the output below. Has anybody successfully built it
on cygwin? Do you guys have an automated windows/cygwin build?

Now, something that may be relevant:
-- I have both automake1.4 and automake1.9 installed
-- automake must be a symlink to v1.4, while automake-1.4 and
   automake-1.9 are self descriptive
-- aclocal is also a symlink to v1.4

Thanks,
Oleg.
