Dear all
In spite that Autotools documentation says that Autotools (Autotools support for CDT (Incubation)) was developed to work only in Linux/Unix enviroment, I want to know if someone has been able to configure this plug-in in Windows.
I am using Eclipse in Windows XP and MinGW / Msys and some features work well but some not, for example:
If I try "Invoke Autoconf" option in the Eclipse environment in my project, nothing happens but if I try autoconf command in the Msys shell command this works well.
If my project is already configured (aclocal ->autoconf ->automake)
and then try "Reconfigure Project" option I get the following messages

Generating Makefile in build directory: D:/workspace/Prueba

sh /D/workspace/Prueba/configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking target system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
configure: error: unsafe absolute working directory name
checking whether build environment is sane...

Configuration failed with error

The same command works well in Msys shell
