What did you do since the last time this worked for you? Line 70 of configure.ac, and several dozen lines around it, didn't change since last August, so something else must have happened to cause this. AS_ECHO is defined by m4sh.m4, which is part of the MSYS Autoconf package you find on the ezwinports site. Are you using that package? Do you have that file in share/autoconf/m4sugar/ in your MSYS installation? > configure.ac:1351: error: possibly undefined macro: PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG > configure.ac:1354: error: possibly undefined macro: PKG_CHECK_MODULES > configure.ac:1363: error: possibly undefined macro: m4_default > configure.ac:2293: error: possibly undefined macro: PKG_CONFIG These are because of the missing pkg.m4 file, I think. See my advice to Juanma earlier in this thread.
