missing file that appears to exist in ACLOCAL_PATH

[tfanrfx]

Can anyone please help? I think I am pretty close, maybe if I can get over these errors...
It looks like I have progtest.m4 in a directory in my ACLOCAL_PATH...

Did you add ACLOCAL_PATH to your .bashrc? If not, here is the info: https://aswf-openrv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build_system/config_windows.html#setting-the-path

If you get further, you might get errors with PCRE2, here's the issue and a workaround until the PR #465 is merged:
#462

[tfanrfx]

I was finally able to build OpenRV on windows! Thanks for the help!

[cedrik-fuoco-adsk]

In case somebody as the same issue, could you confirm what steps worked for you?

[tfanrfx]

1. export ACLOCAL_PATH=/c/msys64/usr/share/aclocal/
2. reverted to the previous commit of cmake/dependencies/pcre2.cmake

Those 2 resolved my errors.
