Can't compile GLib 1.3.5 on Cygwin

["Jeff Z" <egtk hotmail com>]

Hi Owen Taylor,

I checkouted GLib from CVS Yesterday (cvs -z3 checkout glib).
However, I can't compile it on Cygwin. (I've installed autoconf 2.13,
automake 1.4a,automake-1.4-p1, and libtool 1.4 on Cygwin).

If I typed

   $autoconf

I got

configure.in.255:warning:AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross 
compiling
...
configure.in.1386:warning:AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross 
compiling
autoconf:undefined macros:
configure.in:217:AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL


If I run

   $./autogen

I got

configure.in.255:warning:AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross 
compiling
...
configure.in.1386:warning:AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross 
compiling
configure.in:218:'AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' is obsolete, use 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' 
instead

loading cache ./config.cache
./configure:599:Syntax error:word unexpected(expecting ")")
Now, type 'make' to compile GLib


I also downloaded GLib source from the ftp:ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.3 
and I followed the steps:
   $./configure
   $make

./configure sounded good. But when I run make, I got

...
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -Wall -D_REENTRANT -o testglib.exe

I checked libglib-1.3.a (3K), this file is very small. I think
all of GLib's functions are not included in this file.

Do you have any ideas? Could you tell how can I compile GLib 1.3.5
successfully?

Thank a lot,

Jeff
