Cannot guess build type (using updated config.guess)

[arthur.zwaenepoel]

Dear,

I am experiencing some troubles using config.guess. As I have already updated the config.guess (and config.sub) file and consulted online help, I'm reporting the error here. I am trying to install Libmad-0.15.1b. I'm running Cygwin (Cygwin_NT-6.3) on my 64 bit Acer Notebook (running windows 8 natively). You can find the error message below. Thanks in advnce and excuse me if this is due to a misunderstanding on my part.

Kind regards,

Arthur Zwaenepoel

./config.guess: unable to guess system type

This script (version 2016-05-15), has failed to recognize the
operating system you are using. If your script is old, overwrite
config.guess and config.sub with the latest versions from:

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess
and
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub

If ./config.guess has already been updated, send the following data and any
information you think might be pertinent to address@hidden to
provide the necessary information to handle your system.
