I installed a newer version of cygwin (20.1 I had B20) so now it finds the
file but stopps after a short while whith this
message:
address@hidden:/cygdrive/c/uppzippat/a2ps/a2ps-4.12>./configure creating cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... eval: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string address@hidden:/cygdrive/c/uppzippat/a2ps/a2ps-4.12> I can't figure out which files I need to download using the setup program from this message. First I tried to configure with the "-disable-nls" and "-with-medium=A4dj" options but got essentially the same message. I have set my PATH-variable to a bin directory in Bloodshed's Dev-C++ 4.0(, which uses gnu's g++-compiler), which has a file "make.exe". Regards, Lars
