Autogen in Emacs Shell

[Alexander Shukaev]

Hello,

I am considering to give up my current terminal (ConEmu) for Emacs Shell at
least for some simple tasks.  I'm on Windows and use MSYS2 as a primary
development environment.  I just wanted to build Emacs from Emacs Shell and
here is what I've experienced when running `autogen.sh':

Checking for autoconf (need at least version 2.65)...

That's weird because immediately issuing

which automake


says

/usr/bin/automake


I use `bash' as Emacs Shell.  In ConEmu the same `autogen.sh' works fine.

Furthermore, when using `bsdtar' from Emacs Shell, I saw:

bsdtar: Failed to set default locale


What could be the problem here?
