[BuildTools] Problems building with trunk and the MSVC++ compiler

[Andreas Waechter]

Hi once more,

I found the bug in coin.m4 that made the configuration fail on Cygwin. 
(Maybe Lou had already sent me a correction... I'm still catching up...)

I'm going to submit the corrected version of coin.m4 in BuildTools/trunk 
in a few minutes.

Ted, if you want to make use of the reuse of the libtool script, you need 
to make a change in the configure.ac file in the package's base directory 
(I think Lou already wrote about this, but if not, I'm writing it 
again...):

You need to replace the lines

----- 8< (start) -----------------------------------------------------------

#############################################################################
#     We only need automake to generate Makefiles for the distribution      #
#############################################################################

# Initialize automake
AC_COIN_INIT_AUTOMAKE

----- 8< (end) -------------------------------------------------------------

by

----- 8< (start) -----------------------------------------------------------

#############################################################################
#              Create the libtool script for the subdirectories             #
#############################################################################

AC_COIN_CREATE_LIBTOOL

----- 8< (end) -------------------------------------------------------------

Then the libtool script is created here, and can be reused in the 
subdirectories.

It would be great if you could try it again and let us know if it is 
working now (and if the tests are indeed skipped...)

Thanks

Andreas
