I currently don�t have a WinXX system available for testing, but I'll have a look what changes are necessary besides adding the AC_* lines to configure.in in order to make that work. Perhaps we should think of this for 3.2.x? cheers, Torsten PS: I said "necessary", because the "__CYGWIN__" / "__MINGW32__" defines really might affect something on a WinXX system. I'm not sure in what way this could affect Ht://Dig's state of operability on a WinXX system, but I think there could be some dependancies in the file-system code (not Ht://Dig, but the C/C++ library headers). Also, if there should ever be something WinXX dependant stuff, I think it would be good to have something like that already defined in order to control conditional compilations. -- InWise - Wirtschaftlich-Wissenschaftlicher Internet Service GmbH Waldhofstra�e 14 Tel: +49-4101-403605 D-25474 Ellerbek Fax: +49-4101-403606 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://www.inwise.de ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the htdig3-dev mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will receive a message to confirm this.
