[rabbitmq-discuss] compiling rabbitmq-c under mingw

Fri Jul 23 22:28:29 BST 2010

The advice made no explicit mention of a URL to download and I
got the main (wrong) branch of the code.  It had no windows
subdirectory under librabbitmq.

That was a lot of pain for nothing.

FYI:

After more searching of the web site I just now downloaded
http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-c/archive/22cb3bbbca10.tar.gz
which had no configure file as mentioned in the README.windows.

Running autoreconf -i yields:

configure.ac:13: error: Autoconf version 2.58 or higher is required
aclocal.m4:1250: LT_INIT is expanded from...
aclocal.m4:1254: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL is expanded from...
configure.ac:13: the top level
autom4te: /bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
configure.ac:13: error: Autoconf version 2.58 or higher is required
aclocal.m4:1250: LT_INIT is expanded from...
aclocal.m4:1254: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL is expanded from...
configure.ac:13: the top level
autom4te: /bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

and it fails to make a configure file.

My mingw autoconf is at version 2.56 and I don't know how to upgrade it.
I just downloaded and installed mingw a few weeks ago and this is the
version that
was there.
