Asterisk 1.4 will use autoconf, although not in quite the usual way.

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

The fact that Asterisk does not have external dependencies now is entirely by design. Unless there's a convincing argument put through to start, I don't expect that to change. It'd be nice as an option; I don't know how difficult it is to put hooks into Asterisk to allow for the inclusion of the library. I agree, it shouldn't be a requirement, but it is a nice-to-have for those of us (unlike Kevin :-) ) who do like using the libwrap built-in controls. 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?
