Hi there,
While trying to get the latest version of wxWidgets 3.0.x to build, I
found that I need to use an older version of autoreconf, as the format
seems to have changed in a slightly incompatible way.
The "cygautoreconf" command seems to always use the latest version of
autoreconf, and refuses to run if the latest version of autoreconf isn't
installed.
Eventually I realised that I can just skip this step for this particular
package, but is there a way to use an older version of autoreconf with
the "cygautoreconf" command?
Thanks,
Hamish

I think this is controlled with the WANT_AUTOCONF variable?

Looks like it. My bad for not checking the manual more carefully.
