crosstool-ng dependency

[Vincent De Groote]

Hello,

I just discovered crosstool-ng.
When I run 'configure', it stops with the following messages:

[...]
Checking for 'makeinfo'... /usr/bin/makeinfo
Checking for 'automake'... /usr/bin/automake: wrong version string:
expecting regexp '\(GNU automake\) [[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]{2,}'
Checking for 'automake'... /usr/bin/automake: wrong version string:
expecting regexp '\(GNU automake\) [2-9][[:digit:]]*\.'
Bailing out...

My build computer is a windows xp computer, under cygwin.

I just installed an automake.  Calling 'automake --version' shows

automake (GNU automake) 1.9.6

Which version of automake should I use ?  Where can I find it ?

Thanks for your help

I have to admit that the error message is not quite clear, and
that some work could be done is this area...

You need automake 1.10 or better (2.x is also OK). automake 1.10 is
already packaged for Cygwin, and is the one I got last time I tried
running under Cygwin, but as I seldom do, I don't know why you got
the 1.9.6 version. Try to update your full Cygwin installation.
