Re: Problems compiling luacheia with Mingw

Just to clarify a bit... my build problems are with starting from the
unpacked distribution archive and doing a
 ./configure
 make

as far as I can see, this doesn't involve automake (directly) at all
since the archive has pre-built configure and Makefile.in files. It
looks like automake 1.7.9 was used to build these files.

I don't even have autotools installed!

Perhaps we should be discarding the configure and Makefile.in files
(and what else?) from the distribution, and rebuilding them with
autotools locally?
