Hey,

I tried running this on Windows (disclaimer I'm not a Windows guy). Installed mingw-gcc, mingw-make, mingw-autotools but autoreconf is not an executable on Windows (it is an perl file) basically it doesn't find it in the path because it requires perl autoreconf.

A potential workaround is to add typealias but I prefer not to that

Am I doing something wrong? Alternatively shall it be $ perl autoreconf on Windows?

Thanks

I think #15 might help here.

I do not use windows myself, how and what did you try to build on Windows?

Neither do I. I ended adding this to solve a build error of a customer code. Seems to run fine.
