Compiling fish shell under Cygwin?

Question

Has anyone been able to correctly compile fish under Cygwin? I found this post about modifying configure.ac but I'm getting all sorts of errors. The usual configure, make, make install isn't working for me, maybe I'm doing something wrong here... Can someone please walk me through how to get it to compile?

Answer 1

After modifying configure.ac you may need to rerun autoconf to create a new configure script. Without doing this, you're still running the original configure script that comes with the source download, so changes you made to configure.ac will have no effect.
