Thanks.. Still getting issues though.. 

$ autoconf-2.13
autoconf: configure.in: No such file or directory

Steve@cfw5 ~/netcat/netcat
$ autoconf-2.68
configure.ac:25: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

configure.ac:144: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL

I tried this at some point as mentioned on a webpage
$ autoreconf -f -i -Wall,no-obsolete

I saw somebody suggested on a webpage
$ autoreconf-2.68 -vi
but that said can't exec aclocal.. and said failed..

and running aclocal was suggested

I see when looking for autoconf, automake which mentions aclocal so  I install that.

I think at this stage..

autoreconf-2.68 runs without giving an error or any output at all.

Steve@cfw5 ~/netcat/netcat
$ ./configure
configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." "./.." ".
/../.."

I see libtool suggested.. so  I download that..

I see install-sh is in cygwin\usr\share\automake-1.10 and others..
so I copy it to .
Then run ./configure

then ./configure runs

Then I do make
and get errors

I have a look at autoreconf-2.68 which I suppose was meant to work earlier.. and it gives errors

$ autoreconf-2.68
