Problems running configure script

Problems running configure script

[Soh Kam Yung]

I'm having problems running configure for wget with the new Cygwin Net
release.  I didn't install all the tar.gz files, so my guess is I need to
install a package (or more) to get it working but I'm not sure which one.

Below is the ouput that I'm getting:

> ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
configuring for GNU Wget 1.5.3
checking host system type... i386-pc-cygwin32
./configure: cannot create temp file for here document: Permission denied
./configure: cannot create temp file for here document: Permission denied
./configure: cannot create temp file for here document: Permission denied
./configure: cannot create temp file for here document: Permission denied
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... ./configure: cannot create temp file for
here document: Permission denied
no
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... ./configure: cannot create
temp file for here document: Permission denied
no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create executables.

Regards,
Kam-Yung

These errors result from bash's problem with cat, you get this kind of
error if you type:

 $ cat << FOO
 $ text....
 $ bla
 $ FOO

And configure uses /bin/sh. It could be you linked this to your bash ?
You will solve this using the real "sh" not "bash" and saying

 $ sh ./configure

Hope this help... Stefan.

This problem has been fixed in the version 2.04 that I have just uploaded to my xoom.com site.
Try it and let me know what you think.
