trouble on windows using autoconf to build the project

Open laurentGithub13 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hi, I work on MSwindows 7. I installed MinGW and autoconf for windows (cf. https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/autoconf.htm). I updated the system variable path with C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin;c:\MinGW at the begining. When I launch the script ./autogen.sh (as indicated) I have the following error message:

Can't locate Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Autom4te::ChannelDefs module) (@INC contains: C:/PROGRA~2/GnuWin32/autoconf/share/autoconf /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl .) at /c/Program Files (x86)/GnuWin32/bin/autoreconf line 42. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /c/Program Files (x86)/GnuWin32/bin/autoreconf line 42.

I found on the web that we have to do a mount with the command "mount c:/mingw /mingw" but it doesn't work for me, I have the message: mount: warning - /mingw does not exist.

Thank you for your help. Best regards

Are you running ./autogen.sh inside the MinGW (mintty) prompt? If so, what does 'echo $PATH' show?
