RE: [avrdude-dev] Build under Cygwin & Auto Tools versions

Ok now I have a working cygwin system again, however I still have
problems with the bootstrap

It seems the test for autoconf 2.57 is not working correctly as I think
I have it installed. Or it is finding the older 2.13 stable version
somehow.

There seems to be a autoconf wrapper that allows either the stable or
devel version to be used based on environment variables but after
reading the docs there might be an issue with this.

Is anyone with a working cygwin system using the auto[conf/make] wrapper
or did you just install the 2.5x version? 

Cheers

Alex

Here is the output after I do a:
env

autoconf --version

automake --version

setup.sh

Here is my output:
