Yes, but if this switch defaults to no on Cygwin, then i would not have to bother. Only those who want customized make with DOS paths would bother. At the other hand, according to your own logic, if we just change Cygwin's result for this test, then ac_cv_dos_paths=yes configure would also work for building customized version. But, okay, okay... I see, you are extremely conservative. Okay, i just wanted to make the little thing cleaner. AFAIK configure's purpose is to set up the source for building for particular system, and it should do all adjustments which are necessary to build the 100% working program. Customization (like enabling DOS paths for UNIXish environment) IMHO should not be done by default. But you are Masters, and if you completely disagree with me, let it be. I'm just a single person, and you are (at least) two. And you are maintainers and not me. And i am completely out of more arguments, so i retreat. I won't bother you with this particular issue any more, unless you become interested and explicitly ask me or suggest something. -- Kind regards, Pavel mailto:pavel_fe...@mail.ru _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
