Hi, I'm in the middle of porting a rather large *IX program to WindowsNT. The porting per se is done, the program works. The only problem I now have is that I've two sets of makefiles - the automake files for the *IX-Ports and the VisualStudio .ds?-Files for WindowsNT. That's rather cumbersome, I would prefer to have unified makefiles. So in order to get the autotools working I downloaded CYGWIN (latest version) with automake V1.4/autoconf 2.13. Yes, I do know that the new version is 1.5/2.5, but I have not come around to install the latest automake/autoconf versions on the UNIX systems I'm working on. The problem with the cygwin tools is - the makefiles come out scrambled. The Makefile.am contains some conditionals, and they stay in the source code verbatim; the list of the source files is intermixed with the list of .PHONY targets - it looks bizarre. It looks to me like some sort of CR/LF problem - the makefile.am's *will* have CR+LFs, b/c I'm using PVCS for source control. But I've installed CygWin with "Default Text File Type DOS", so it should not be a problem, right? I don't know if this email is on topic for this group, as it might be more of a CYGWIN problem, but I hope that at least someone reading this mailing list has some experience with CYGWIN. TIA, Wolfgang Liebich
