[mpich-discuss] [MSYS] fail to generate configure and makefile

[Feiyun Wang]

Hi,

I checked out mpich2 SVN trunk to c:\prj\mpich2 (rev.6844), and it comes without the configure script.
I tried to build it on MSYS/MinGW/WindowsXP but failed:

[quote]
$ cd /c/prj/mpich2/

jiehua at jiehua-PC /c/prj/mpich2
$ autoreconf
configure.in:736: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_WARN
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.in:995: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_ERROR
configure.in:2504: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CXX_EXCEPTIONS
configure.in:2505: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CXX_BOOL
configure.in:2506: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CXX_NAMESPACES
configure.in:2523: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CXX_NAMESPACE_STD
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf-2.65 failed with exit status: 1
[/quote]

Then I downloaded mpich2-1.3a2.tar.gz, and the configure script in it can work under MSYS, but it failed to generate the Makefile at last. See the attached log file for details.

I have two questions:
1. What are the commands used to generate the configure script?
2. Why it failed to generate the Makefile on MSYS? Did I miss something? Or it simply does not support MSYS/MinGW?

Best regards,
Feiyun Wang
