title: ./configure gets stuck on checking the max length of command line arguments
body: <p>I am installing and building several libraries for the personal user version of the WRF weather model. The user guide I am using is found here: <a href="https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/compilation_tutorial.php#STEP2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/compilation_tutorial.php#STEP2</a>.</p>
  <p>I am on Windows 10, running the terminal emulator MSYS. I have been following the instructions for each of the five libraries so far without any unresolvable issue overall. When I got to the Jasper library instructions, I got up to the point of</p>
  <p><code>./configure --prefix=$DIR/grib2 --build=x86_64</code>.</p>
  <p>When I ran this, the checking messages continued until the</p>
  <p><code>checking the maximum length of command line arguments...</code></p>
  <p>check. It stops there and doesn't continue, despite waiting for it and restarting <code>./configure</code> several times. I am unaware of what I should try next that wouldn't risk causing problems. None of the other <code>./configure</code>s gave me any issues, except for the build type, which was resolved with <code>--build=x86_64</code>.</p>
  <p>If anyone needs more information for a fix, please ask away!</p>
