Trouble with ./bootstrap when building from SVN

[DennisH]

I've been trying to build myself a current version of the SDK.
So far I've exported the head revision from SVN, opened Bash (using Cygwin) and tried running the bootstrap script.
According to my understanding it should generate a 'configure' script that I just run and then I can 'make' the libraries. However the 'bootstrap' just returns an error:

FIND: Parameterformat falsch

Which is German for 'wrong parameter format'. The resulting 'configure' script is (of course) 0 bytes long.

I'm having problems too, using Cygwin after ./bootstrap i get:

aclocal: not found
automake: not found

I've used the cygwin installer to add autoconf and automake.

Any ideas?

Looks like a non-Cygwin find is on your PATH. Make sure Cygwin (C:\cygwin\bin and C:\cygwin\usr\bin) is the first thing on your PATH.

That's it.
There's a find.exe in the Windows System32 directory. I didn't realise that Bash is using the standard path environment to look for tools, since 'find' is kind of an internal command of the shell. That's where I was obviously wrong. :)

You need autoconf and automake, RTFM.

Thankyou i just reinstalled automake and autoconf from latest source and everything worked.
