WARNING: makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting

While trying to configure WxWidgets 2.9.1 on Windows XP (32 bit) the configure script ended with this:

...
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: WARNING: Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
config.status: error: cannot find input file: contrib/Makefile.in
configure: error: ./configure failed for src/tiff

I made sure that mentioned Makefile.in is where it should be. I use MinGW32 for make.

I found this, I tried to translate it somehow to my situation (from Ubuntu to Windows), but it still returns the same error.

How should I solve it?

First of all, the warning is harmless and has nothing to do with the problem.

Second, the error itself is mysterious because the file src/tiff/contrib/Makefile.in does exist (or at least should, check if it didn't somehow disappear in your installation) but I think I already saw this before and things like this happen when you use files with DOS EOLs with Unix/Cygwin tools. Get the sources from .tar.bz2 file and not .zip to fix this.

Finally, why do you use 2.9.1 released in 2010, I think? There is really no reason to not use 2.9.4...
