[Linphone-developers] Trouble running autogen.sh under MinGW

[Steve Strobel]

I am trying to build Linphone for Windows using MinGW by following 
the instructions in README.mingw, but I am hung up on the autogen 
step.  The last messages it prints are:

GNU Autoconf home page: <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>.

configure.ac:1: error: possibly undefined macro: dnl
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:26: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_SUBST
configure.ac:67: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
configure.ac:184: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
configure.ac:241: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_LIB
configure.ac:262: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_HEADERS

I am especially surprised that it complains about "dnl" on the first 
line of configure.ac;  I must have something wrong in my 
toolchain.  Any suggestions about how to fix it would be great.
