Yes, I can see that assumption may not always hold. But I'm slightly surprised this worked in the first place; are you saying this is a system where: -curl-config is not installed -but -lcurl still works -without setting CURLDIR ? I think I should probably re-roll the patch to default to the old behavior (blind -lcurl) if curl-config returns the empty string, which I believe is also the case when the binary is not found. -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
