My 2c : Cygwin should - at least - allow people to install autoconf-2.71 and - as long as the packages are prepared for it - things shouldn't break. If I install autoconf-2.71 locally, and then compile Tcl 8.6.12, which contained in tcl.cygport: src_compile() { cd ${S}/unix cygautoreconf ... $ cygport tcl.cygport compile >>> Compiling tcl-8.6.12-1.x86_64 *** ERROR: autoconf2.5 is required to build this package My solution was, simply to remove the "cygautoreconf" line from the cygport file, then it works again. 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). Then I can put back the "cygautoreconf" line in tcl.cygport. Thanks! Jan Nijtmans
