Problem With Makefiles, how do I install gandalf vision library?

Hi,

I am trying to install Gandalf, a computer vision and numerical library (http://gandalf-library.sourceforge.net/). I am using Cygwin on a Windows machine and have tried everything to get this to build, but to no avail.

Gcc, make, and libtool are all included in my Cygwin install. I downloaded the Gandalf tar (gandalf-1.3.2.tar.gz) to /home/Justin/ and extracted it using "tar -xvpzf gandalf-1.3.2.tar.gz" to create the /home/Justin/gandalf/ directory with all the installation files.

following the directions in INSTALL:
cd gandalf
./configure
make

Unfortunately, when I run the last line ("make"), I get the following error:

$ make
for f in common linalg image vision; do (cd $f; make); done
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Justin/gandalf/common'
libtool gcc -I../.. -g -O2 -Wall -c misc_defs.c -o misc_defs_rl.o
libtool: Couldn't find configure.ac nor configure.in file
make[1]: *** [misc_defs_rl.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Justin/gandalf/common'
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Justin/gandalf/linalg'
libtool gcc -I../.. -g -O2 -Wall -c mat_gen.c -o mat_gen_rl.o
libtool: Couldn't find configure.ac nor configure.in file
make[1]: *** [mat_gen_rl.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Justin/gandalf/linalg'
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Justin/gandalf/image'
libtool gcc -I../.. -g -O2 -Wall -c pixel.c -o pixel_rl.o
libtool: Couldn't find configure.ac nor configure.in file
make[1]: *** [pixel_rl.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Justin/gandalf/image'
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Justin/gandalf/vision'
libtool gcc -I../.. -g -O2 -Wall -c camera.c -o camera_rl.o
libtool: Couldn't find configure.ac nor configure.in file
make[1]: *** [camera_rl.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Justin/gandalf/vision'
make: *** [gandalf] Error 2

It keeps complaining about not finding configure.ac/configure.in. However, these files are not in any of the subfolders - there are only Makefile and Makefile.in files. Is it possible that ./configure was supposed to create the configure.ac/configure.in files? Do I have to create these files manually? Might I have the wrong version of gcc/make/libtool?

Any idea what my problem might be?

Thanks,

Justin
