What Peter suggests is telling autoconf to assume aclfromtext() does not exist on the system which is a hack and I already have a hack I could use. > He is proposing that you write an autoconf test that determines if the > platform has this new ACL behavior. Then in your C code: > > #include <config.h> > #if HAVE_FUNC_ACLFROMTEXT > # include <cygwin/acl.h> > #endif I could check for __cygwin__ instead of that which would do the same thing. Anyhow the discussion diverged a lot, and for now I'll be using my simple hack of disabling HAVE_SUN_ACL manually. ismail -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
