As I said, I haven't looked at it in any detail, but it seems that autoconf is already multi-version, so I guess it would be possible to introduce an autoconf2.7 package in addition to the existing two. That's a slightly wonky way to do that when we expect to later on just replace 2.69 with 2.71, though. > Somewhere in cygport, a check is done for the autoconf version, please > change this check to allow autoconf 2.71 (as well as 2.59 and 2.69). The check is in autotools.cygclass (with an obvious fix that you can apply directly in the installed file): https://cygwin.com/git/?p=cygwin-apps/cygport.git;a=blob;f=cygclass/autotools.cygclass;hb=336c67d359d7676216bc2e29fe304819505cdba0#l398 > Then I can put back the "cygautoreconf" line in tcl.cygport. If you just removed that line it won't use the new autotools and run with whatever Tcl was shipped with.
