I am a newbie for cygwin.When I try to typed ./configure, it shows that.

Is there missing some packages of cygwin?

Thanks for your help


where are you running that command from? Most likely, you won't find a configure file in home, unless you've deliverately put one there.


what are you trying to configure?




I have typed "./configure" under /usr/src
I try to install a program but I don't have any experience on compiling a program. :(


The readme of the program said :

Build
-----

Goto the "src" directory and run "./configure". When this finishs
successfully, run "make".

But when I typed "./configure" ,
"bash: ./configure: No such file or directory"


well, I'm guessing you just got the tarball (the tar.gz file) and extracted its contents somewhere (say, /tmp/foo). I bet that you'll see a src directory under /tmp/foo and that the "src" directory the readme is referring to is precisely that one, and not /usr/src. Try running ./configure from /tmp/foo/src and see what happens.
