See what it takes to put that in but as a compile time option. At that point it might make it in. > In a completely somewhat-related question, is this lack of dependence on > external libraries, other than the list below, the reason why Asterisk > does not use the seemingly common ./configure scripts? No, lack of outside dependence has more to do with licensing issues. The ./configure scripts are not being used mainly because we couldn't get enough people around for long enough to do the autoconf stuff. I think that is changing, but I haven't run any of the trunk stuff to look at the new build procedures. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-dev mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev
