Igor, David, Thanks for your replies. Your guesses were absolutely right, it seems to be a bad EOL problem. I followed Igor's suggestion and looked at the output through a hex editor, and now the actual error message is: > > configure.ac:3814: error: `\r' is already registered with AC_CONFIG_FILES. > > autoconf/status.m4:848: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from... > > configure.ac:3814: the top level > > Autom4te::FileUtils::xsystem(/usr/autotool/devel/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm:29 There is no actual variable name (...which would have been hidden), unless you consider \r a variable name ;-)) I did try PERLIO='crlf', but it didn't help. I set (and exported) it from the shell, but I'm not sure whether this was the right thing to do. Generally speaking, I don't really know what to do with the above error message, and what the next debugging step could/should be. Any ideas? Thanks a lot. -Mario P.S.: I have CygWin 1.5.9-1 on W2K, additional system data are included in the attachment ----- Original Message ----- From: "Igor Pechtchanski" <pechtcha@cs.nyu.edu> To: "Mailing Lists" <mailing-lists@univecom.ch> Cc: <cygwin@cygwin.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 18:19 Subject: Re: already registered with AC_CONFIG_FILES > On Wed, 31 Mar 2004, Mailing Lists wrote: > > > Hi all! > > > > I am trying to compile some software (VLC from the VideoLAN project) on > > W2K/CygWin.
