Description Andreas Ertelt 2013-07-14 08:59:12 UTC 
With the patch applied, make is not able to find the rule for Makefile.in anymore. Removing the patch resolves the issue.
Comment 1 Sam Lantinga 2013-08-01 12:22:42 UTC 
Can you investigate and find out why that is?  This patch fixes another issue and shouldn't cause problems as far as I can tell.

Is it a problem with the output of pwd on mingw?  What does srcdir get set to?
Comment 2 Andreas Ertelt 2013-08-01 14:16:09 UTC 
The path is in fact correct (in my case: /c/external/SDL64/SDL). But it seems the windows build of GNU Make doesn't work well with pathnames in rules. Both the dependencies in "$(srcdir)/configure: $(srcdir)/configure.in" and "Makefile: $(srcdir)/Makefile.in" will cause rules not to be found when srcdir is defined.

The same problem occurs if the patch is removed and I supply configure with a srcdir manually. I'm not quite sure how to test this more in-depth.
