   Hi,

   I am trying to install the bitcoin client on a Windows 10, following the build-windows.md file.

   The latest version of automake (automake-1.15) seems incompatible with the client files.

   I tried linking automake-1.15 to automake-1.14 but am receiving the following error:

   configure.ac:32: error: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.15, configure.ac:32: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.ac:32: comes from Automake 1.14.1. You should recreate configure.ac:32: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.

   Please help.

   Thanks,

   Seems like something was left behind from the other version. Try git -f -x -d to clean your git tree, then retry.

   However many people have built Bitcoin Core with automake 1.15 on other platforms, it is an extremely common version. What makes you think it is incompatible?

   Should be:

   git clean -f -x -d
