Tried that :( this is getting demoralising.
Here are the env variables i set:
$history |egrep '(=|export)'
394 export CONFIG_DIRS=
395 export CONFIG_FILES=
428
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde2/bin
429
MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/opt/gnome/man:/opt/kde2/share/man
430 INFOPATH='/usr/info;/usr/local/info;/opt/gnome/info'
431 KDEDIR=/opt/kde2
432 export PATH MANPATH INFOPATH KDEDIR
437 export HOME=/home/maufflic
./configure completes fine, but creates no Makefile. It creates all the
header files (config.h etc.) though.
This happens the same with or without cygwin patches applied to the
source.
In a fit of giving up I installed Window Maker - only to find i needeed
to recompile libtiff with LZW.
Interestingly, libtiff uses a non-standard configure, and this configures
and makes fine.
So it is purely a problem with GNU configure...
