I am after Cygwins m4-1.4.17-1 source changes

[Aaron Gray]

Hi,

I am trying to build m4-1.4.17 and am getting an error. I tried
downloading the src using the GUI interface but just got a file
'm4-1.4.17-1.cygwin.patch' with no real changes, but the following in
the text.

~~~
+Build instructions:
+  unpack m4-1.4.17-1-src.tar.bz2
+    if you use setup to install this src package, it will be
+    unpacked under /usr/src automatically
+  cd /usr/src
+  cygport m4-1.4.17-1 all
+
+This will create:
+  /usr/src/m4-1.4.17-1.tar.bz2
+  /usr/src/m4-1.4.17-1-src.tar.bz2
+
+Or use 'cygport m4-1.4.17-1 prep' to get a patched source directory
~~~

m4-1.4.17-1-src.tar.bz2 does not appear to be there.

Help !

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

If you've downloaded the source, you've gotten the
m4-1.4.17-1-src.tar.xz file.

Extract that file using "tar xf".  It contains everything you need to
build m4 via the "cygport" command.

Oops.  I forgot to update this text to say .xz (now that cygport favors
xz instead of bz2).

These directions still work, though :)
