[news.eclipse.technology.linuxtools] Autotools with CygWin

["Paul McConkey" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I have spent some time trying to get an autotools project to work with 
Eclipse using CygWin, but not successfully.

The project (vlc) configures fine from CygWin bash, but the closest I have 
come to getting it to configure using the Autoconf plug-in is a pretty 
general error that configuration has failed.

I know very little about CygWin and less about autotools and I have now 
abandoned the attempt and I am configuring from bash and just using a 
standard c make project.

I'd like to have another go, so if anyone has some experience with this type 
of setup any pointers would be gratefully received.

Cheers,

Paul.
