Updating latest config.guess and config.sub files

[Nakada, Daniel Y]

Hi gnu.org,

I am not a UNIX user and may need help updating my config.guess and config.sub files. I am running a Dell Optiplex 780 with windows 7 machine; I’m trying to run a program (called FRED) using the latest version of Cygwin64 (http://cygwin.com/install.html). When I go to the FRED directory then try to make an executable, an error occurs:

 

checking build system type... ./config.guess: unable to guess system type

 

I’ve included the entire output below. I want to update the config.guess and config.sub file but am unsure if it is already up to date (it may be) and how to do so. Thanks in advance for your help,

-Dan
