However, applying this patch on Linux, extracting the product of "make dist" on msysGit, and running "./configure" yields this: ... checking whether system succeeds to read fopen'ed directory... yes ... And indeed, FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES is set in config.mak.autogen. However, "f" was NULL in your test, so I am not quite sure what is going wrong... Besides, you miss a return 0 in the end, I think. Or even better: you should return f && fread(&c, 1, 1, f); BTW the commit message looks like this here... not nice (the commit log is not a mailing list): commit 67418ff5d4f548f7de23e97bf165a8529ebf6a31 Author: Michal Rokos <michal.rokos@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 4 12:44:11 2008 +0100 Configure test for FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES Hello, this patch adds missing tests for FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES. Could anyone volunteer to test it on different platforms? So far I know it works well on Linux (no FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES), HP-UXes 11.11 and 11.23 (FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES defined).
