If your libraries are old enough, git's cache.h header file should effectively enable NO_DEFLATE_BOUND. Maybe you have skew between your header files and the libraries the linker finds by default? Or maybe we should consider any zlib without a version in the header file old enough not to have deflateBound()? -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* -- 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
