[gnome-db] libgda on cygwin problem

["Fernando Martins" <fmartins hetnet nl>]

Hi!

I followed the instructions on installing libgda on cygwin but I got the
following error when running ./configure:

$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... found
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... found
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for pkg-config... ./configure: command substitution: line 355:

rror near unexpected token `?:[\\/]*'
./configure: command substitution: line 355: `  [\\/]* | ?:[\\/]*'
./configure: line 1866: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
./configure: line 1866: `  ;;'


Line 355 contains:

echo >conf$$.file


Any clues of what's going on?

Thanks,

Fernando
