Hi there,
I have a problem with autoconf running under cygwin and was recommended to
ask you about this. Apologies if this is an FAQ but I have rtfm'd without
luck - can you point me in the right direction?
The issue is that autoconf seems to be ignoring the includedir and
parameters that I pass in, and that it claims to have found header files
which do not exist on the file system. I can provide more info if necessary.
Thanks & regards,
Alastair.
