Well, now I am running into configuration problems. For some reason, Paul's build seems to want to configure to build a Mozilla derivative, and it wants to use U:\moztools\config.site-gcc335b4. That file is from a release of moztools, as released by Dave Yeo, not too long ago. It bears no relation, at all, to my system, and a number of the entries don't make sense, to me. I don't think it should be using that anyway.
So, I removed the environment variables for MOZILLA, and CONFIG_SITE. Then, I get some reasonable output from:Code Selectash ./configure
but it seems to want a different GREP than what is available. The error lines, from config.log are;Code Selectconfigure:5382: checking for grep that handles long lines and -e
configure:5433: error: no acceptable grep could be found in U:\foo;U:\usr\bin;U:\usr\local\bin;U:\GLIBIDL335\GLIB\gcc\bin;U:\GLIBIDL335\LIBIDL\gcc\bin;u:\PERL\bin;u:\bin;U:\MOZTOOLS;U:\EMX\bin;u:\extras\bin;u:\dev\qt\trunk\bin;U:\python25;M:\MPTN\BIN;M:\IBMCOM;M:\ECS\SYSTEM\Samba;M:\ECS\BIN;M:\TCPIP\BIN;W:\PROGRAMS\EMX\BIN;M:\IBMGSK50\BIN;M:\IBMGSK40\BIN;M:\IBMGSK\BIN;M:\OS2;M:\OS2\SYSTEM;M:\OS2\INSTALL;M:\;M:\OS2\MDOS;M:\OS2\APPS;M:\ECS\KLIBC\BIN;W:\PROGRAMS\JAVA142\BIN;M:\MMOS2\FREEDB;M:\MMOS2;M:\MMOS2\MMPLAYER;W:\PROGRAMS\4OS2;W:\PROGRAMS\OPENSSH;W:\UTILITY;W:\APPS\WGET\BIN;W:\TOOLS\dfsee\bin;W:\ODIN\SYSTEM32;W:\LOTUSW4\COMPNENT;W:\LOTUSW4\ORGANIZE;W:\LOTUSW4\APPROACH;W:\LOTUSW4\FLG;W:\LOTUSW4\WORDPRO;W:\APPS\BA2KWS;W:\PROGRAMS\qt4\bin;W:\APPS\EMBLSH;M:\ecs\ACPI\UTIL;U:\WATCOM\BINP;U:\WATCOM\BINW;U:\VISPRORX;;;/usr/xpg4/bin
Question: What is that all about?
As Paul hinted, it is looking for grep instead of grep.exe. You need exeext=.exe or/and ac_executable_extensions=.exe in your environment, preferably in config.site or set GREP=grep.exe, then perhaps PERL=perl.exe and so on.
BTW, I didn't release that moztools though it is basically the same as the one I use.
