This message has also been sent to bug-autoconf@gnu.org. Hello, I tried to run ./configure on the package crosstool-ng-1.24.0 under cygwin64 and it fails. Here is the output: ./configure: This script requires a shell more modern than all ./configure: the shells that I found on your system. ./configure: Please tell bug-autoconf@gnu.org and ./configure: crossgcc@sourceware.org about your system, including ./configure: any error possibly output before this message. Then ./configure: install a modern shell, or manually run the script ./configure: under such a shell if you do have one. The shell is bash: $ echo $SHELL /bin/bash Bash version: $ $SHELL --version GNU bash, Version 4.4.12(3)-release (x86_64-unknown-cygwin) Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Unfortunately, this leads to the same result and error message. Based on your suggestion, I installed other shells: zsh 5.5.1-1 $ /bin/zsh ./configure ./configure: This script requires a shell more modern than all ./configure: the shells that I found on your system. ./configure: In particular, zsh 5.5.1 has bugs and should ./configure: be upgraded to zsh 4.3.4 or later. zsh 5.1.1-1 $ /bin/zsh ./configure ./configure: This script requires a shell more modern than all ./configure: the shells that I found on your system. ./configure: In particular, zsh 5.1.1 has bugs and should ./configure: be upgraded to zsh 4.3.4 or later. dash 0.5.9.1-1 $ /bin/dash ./configure ./configure: This script requires a shell more modern than all ./configure: the shells that I found on your system. ./configure: Please tell bug-autoconf@gnu.org and ./configure: crossgcc@sourceware.org about your system, including ./configure: any error possibly output before this message. Then ./configure: install a modern shell, or manually run the script ./configure: under such a shell if you do have one. I don't want to build zsh 4.3.4. from source unless I have really no other option. I'm not convinced this would work though as it fails with a newer version. What shell would be suited best for autoconf?

It should work with your Bash. The fact that it fails with both your Bash, and with recent zsh, suggest a configuration problem of some sort (not a problem with your shells per se). You can try debugging it by using 'bash -x configure', or by putting 'set -x' into 'configure' just before the place you think is causing the problem. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

This seems to have caused problems, because deleting the symlink and moving the folder to C:\cygwin64 directly resolved the issue. Now ./configure runs until it fails to find libtool, which I consider a success. I can provide the /bin/bash -x ./configure log file upon request. Thank you!
