I don't think so. Sorry for using your path as a bad example, but the appearance of such patches is a perfect argument for a real configure script. If we continue patching Makefile, we'll drown in such conditionals. And the worst thing is, nobody without access to an HP-UX system will know why IPv6 isn't working there. Makefile will become a pile of code that cannot be easily verified for correctness. Autoconf based tests can actually test if certain code can be compiled and linked. If HP-UX fixed IPv6, the test would enable it. If some genius manages to compile curl on HP-UX, http support will be enabled on that machine with no manual changes in Makefile. I hope the Autoconf based configure is on its way to git, but I don't see in in the "pu" branch yet. I'm not very keen about reinventing Autoconf and hacking a hand-made configure script. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
