Problems compiling GPA

[Markus Gerwinski]

Hi folks,

I'm currently trying to compile the latest CVS version of GPA on SuSE Linux 8.0
and on W**doze XP with Cygwin.

On SuSE Linux 8.0, autogen.sh produces the following output:

  ...
  Please add the files
    codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
    progtest.m4
  from the /usr/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
  or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
  You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.
  ...

Question: Where is the macro directory I have to move the *.mp4 files to?  It's
obviously _not_ my installation directory; I already tried that, without
changing the error.  And: Where do I have to place config.guess and config.sub?

On W**doze XP with Cygwin, I must add "-mno-cygwin -mms-bitfields" to the
compiler options of gcc to enable linking to GTK. Question: In which file (and
where inside the file) do I have to write them in order to tell autogen.sh to
generate an appropriate "configure"? (The options must be included as well to
the compilation statement of the GTK test program, else "configure" won't run
to the end.)

Thank you very much in advance for any help,

  Markus
