I get the messages: configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one i am trying ./configure -with-gpre-cobol checking build system type... ./config.guess: unable to guess system type This script, last modified 2001-09-04, has failed to recognize the operating system you are using. It is advised that you download the most up to date version of the config scripts from so I am interested that it is picking up this 2001 script when the config.guess scripts in /usr/share are newer. mtdew@BLASTER-6000 ~/fb-super/Firebird-2.5.6.27020-0 $ which automake /usr/bin/automake mtdew@BLASTER-6000 ~/fb-super/Firebird-2.5.6.27020-0 $ automake --version Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ \t=:+{}]+)}/ at /usr/bin/automake-1.14 line 3930. automake (GNU automake) 1.14.1 Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I just want to hook up cobol to firebird but i ran into this brick wall tonight. Obviously this has nothing to do with actually using fireball and cobol so it gets frustrating. Please provide any help suggestions if you can. thx. -jim -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
