on windows 7 - 64 using CYGWIN 1.7.17-1 trying to install m4 1.4.16
I have been able to download the m4 package through the cygwin gui (home dir = c:\cygwin\home\alex\m4\) and directly by extracting to c:\m4. I am able to run ./configure in both cases in the local directories but the make process doesn't work and fails each time
these are the last lines of the make process -- attached is the config log from my last attempt
C:\cygwin\home\alex\m4-1.4.16\lib/wait-process.c:298: undefined reference to `waitpid' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:1113: recipe for target `m4.exe' failed make[2]: *** [m4.exe] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/alex/m4-1.4.16/src' Makefile:1131: recipe for target `all-recursive' failed make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alex/m4-1.4.16' Makefile:1084: recipe for target `all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2 t
I usually pride myself in being able to find resources on builds but in this case I would really appreciate a hand
