问题
When I configure (under cygwin environment), an error occurred, Message are following:
$ ./configure
.................
checking build system type... /bin/sh: ./config.guess: No such file or directory
configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one
How to resolve it? Thanks!!
回答1:
search for /usr/share/automake*/config.guess
check the latest version of automake
$ which automake
$ automake --version
find the appropriate automake folder in /usr/share/automake.1.11.1/config.guess
replace config.guess from your build tree with /usr/share/automake.1.11.1/config.guess
(The same may/is usually needed for config.sub.)

The error message may also include instructions on how to deal with this. In my case I saw
This script, last modified 2008-01-23, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
and
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD
In a browser I was able to access those files, save them to to my system, and then overwrite the respective ./config/config.guess and ./config/config.sub files in the package being built.

Thanks I got it working.
- Just go to C:\cygwin64\usr\share\automake-1.11
- Copy config.guess
- Paste it to C:\cygwin64\usr\local\src\gateway-1.4.4
回答4:
config.guess and config.sub routines are updated and kept on github;
You'll get the web pointers when you run the script,
./config.guess
In my Mingw system, config.sub or .guess were not in the share/../automake-1.11/ tree, I needed to download the updated scripts which worked (when they replaced the old ones).
