Hi all! I am trying to compile some software (VLC from the VideoLAN project) on W2K/CygWin. Unfortunately, during the config, I get an error. I have already contacet the VideoLAN malining list, but to no avail. I will also contact the CygWin mailing list, but for the time being I hope to get some help here.
This is the error message I get: ' is already registered with AC_CONFIG_FILES. autoconf/status.m4:848: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from... configure.ac:3814: the top level Autom4te::FileUtils::xsystem(/usr/autotool/devel/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm:29 Please note the single single-quote at the beginning of the error message. I have included the command line after the main body of this post. I cannot simply ignore this message, because the config process exits after this error I have searched the archives, and have actually found some posts from two years ago. It seems there was a bug in one of the autotools, which was subsequently eliminated. However, I still do get the same kind of error. Now, I don't assume anybody here to know the VideoLAN project. However, maybe somebody can tell me what the problem could be. I mean, I'd be happy to know what the next step in the debugging process could be, since I'm kind of at a loss. I also include an extract of the trace file after the command line. Thanks a lot in advance. -Mario /usr/bin/m4 \ --nesting-limit=1024 \ --include=/usr/autotool/devel/share/autoconf \ --debug=aflq \ --fatal-warning \ --error-output=autom4te.cache/traces.0t \ --trace=AC_CONFIG_FILES \ --reload-state=/usr/autotool/devel/share/autoconf \ \ /autoconf/autoconf.m4f \ aclocal.m4 \ configure.ac \ \ </dev/null \ \ >autom4te.cache/output.0t trace file "traces.0t" (not very helpful I guess): m4trace:configure.ac:3738: -1- AC_CONFIG_FILES([ Makefile autotools/Makefile debian/Makefile doc/Makefile intl/Makefile ipkg/Makefile lib/Makefile modules/Makefile mozilla/Makefile m4/Makefile po/Makefile.in share/Makefile src/Makefile ]) m4trace:configure.ac:3814: -1- AC_CONFIG_FILES([ modules/access/Makefile modules/access/dshow/Makefile modules/access/dvb/Makefile modules/access/dvd/Makefile modules/access/dvdplay/Makefile modules/access/dvdread/Makefile modules/access/mms/Makefile modules/access/pvr/Makefile modules/access/satellite/Makefile modules/access/v4l/Makefile modules/access/cdda/Makefile modules/access/vcd/Makefile modules/access/vcdx/Makefile modules/access_output/Makefile modules/audio_filter/Makefile modules/audio_filter/channel_mixer/Makefile modules/audio_filter/converter/Makefile modules/audio_filter/resampler/Makefile modules/audio_mixer/Makefile modules/audio_output/Makefile modules/codec/Makefile modules/codec/ffmpeg/Makefile modules/codec/ffmpeg/postprocessing/Makefile modules/codec/ogt/Makefile modules/codec/spudec/Makefile modules/control/Makefile modules/control/corba/Makefile modules/control/lirc/Makefile modules/control/rc/Makefile modules/demux/Makefile modules/demux/asf/Makefile modules/demux/avi/Makefile modules/demux/mp4/Makefile modules/demux/mpeg/Makefile modules/demux/playlist/Makefile modules/demux/util/Makefile modules/gui/Makefile modules/gui/beos/Makefile modules/gui/pda/Makefile modules/gui/gtk/Makefile modules/gui/gtk2/Makefile modules/gui/kde/Makefile modules/gui/macosx/Makefile modules/gui/ncurses/Makefile modules/gui/qnx/Makefile modules/gui/qt/Makefile modules/gui/skins/Makefile modules/gui/skins2/Makefile modules/gui/wxwindows/Makefile modules/misc/Makefile modules/misc/dummy/Makefile modules/misc/logger/Makefile modules/misc/memcpy/Makefile modules/misc/network/Makefile modules/misc/testsuite/Makefile modules/misc/playlist/Makefile modules/mux/Makefile modules/mux/mpeg/Makefile modules/packetizer/Makefile modules/stream_out/Makefile modules/stream_out/transrate/Makefile modules/video_chroma/Makefile modules/video_filter/Makefile modules/video_filter/deinterlace/Makefile modules/video_output/Makefile modules/video_output/directx/Makefile modules/video_output/mga/Makefile modules/video_output/qte/Makefile modules/video_output/x11/Makefile modules/visualization/Makefile modules/visualization/scope/Makefile modules/visualization/xosd/Makefile modules/visualization/visual/Makefile ])
