The command `aclocal --print-ac-dir' shows for me /usr/autotool/devel/share/aclocal including one file, `dirlist' which in turn originally only contained the reference to one directory containing macros, I presume the default directory: /usr/share/aclocal I then extended the file for one line, in order to include the macros of the version of libtool, that I had locally compiled. With new prerequisites, glib compiled without any problem. To summarize: to make and install `glib', my system needed the latest stable version of `libtool'. The version that comes precompiled with cygwin must be uninstalled. (Maybe it suffices if `aclocal' finds the correct macro definitions -- is it a question of order of the directories listed in `dirlist'?) Additionally, `aclocal' had to be informed of the new macro definitions.
