bug in configure with cygwin found

Hi, I isolated the problem, and fixed it. Notice that it wasn't detecting PHP in the output below. Line 1320 of configure was the problem: if test "yes" = `echo '<?php echo phpversion()>3?"yes":"no"; ?>' | $PHP -q`; then Apprently, cygwin doesn't support piping fully, as this generates no output at all when I run it independently: $echo '<?php echo phpversion()>3?"yes":"no"; ?>' | php -q Owner@Chiara ~/peardoc $ However, if I save the contents into a small file testphpver.php, and change line 1320 to: if test "yes" = $PHP -q testphpver.php; then it works as expected and successfully configures.

Hello, Thanks. Here is the complete output. It turns out that the ".infig.status" is the result of .in overwriting the current line. I discovered this through a ./configure > out 2> out2.

Hi, I'm trying to build peardoc/ in cygwin. I've got ./configure to work, but I'm getting a strange bug in config.status config.status: creating \ .infig.status: error: cannot find input file: \ a quick text search of config.status reveals no presence of "infig" Where do I start to debug this one?
