> Yes, MSYS is set to use LF line endings. OK. In other words, it is a problem of the awk script in `config.status' which doesn't anticipate the CRLF case within a Unix line ending environment...
And indeed, if I read the correctly correctly, the $ac_cs_awk_cr stuff or something similar is missing for the `defines.awk' script (within `config.status'). > How did CRLF get there anyway? How did you extract or obtain the > source? `git clone' using msysgit, which uses CRLF by default for checkout (provided the files are stored as LF within git, as it is for my repository). I know how to circumvent the problem, but I was fooled by the `msys' part in msysgit's name, thinking that those MSYS and msysgit fit together without additional tweaks... Thanks for your help. Werner
