Well I know it's autogenerated, that's why i wrote 'Regenerate.' in the Changelog. In such cases, i should not include the regenerated file to the patch ? Is it the maintainer role to run autogen on every patch that affects *.tpl ? >> >> I removed the test of _POSIX_C_SOURCE in melt-runtime.c because this >> makes no sense to test the availability of the poll function that way : just >> use >> the function, the compiler will find it out by itself if it is really >> defined.

Yes dynamic libraries are named *.dylib on a mac because the dynamic linker dyld looks for *.dylib files, and not *.so files. OSX makes a difference between a dynamic library you can link (*.dylib) width dyld and binaries you dynamically load on your own with dlopen (*.bundle). So on a mac, your melt plugins should have the .bundle extension. But as the .so extension is hardcoded almost everywhere, i preferred keeping the .so extension, like many other projects do (on my computer, i can see that apache, php, valgrind, ImageMagick, python, gtk and many others just do the same) Romain Geissler
