I just tried to compile CUnit on the latest stable MinGW/MSYS, but failed. This was using the subversion head, at r134.

I found a workaround, by checking out the repo and creating the makefiles and configure script on Linux, then tarring it up and transferring to Windows.

It's really important that the tarball contains the configure script, so that people can more easily get started... or is there a compelling reason not to do that?

    Can you list what kind of errors did you get. The only reason why configure is missing is that the entire build can be done on any linux/unix platform that supports autoconf/automake etc. The bootstrap script should be able to generate configure provided right set of tools are available on the platform.

    Added configure and ltmain.sh scripts to the sources. Can you please try compiling again and let me know if this solves compilation issue ?

    I tried this out just now on Windows 7 with 32-bit MinGW. I get the following output from "./configure" now, showing that we also need "config.sub" to be added to the sources:
