Hi,
as I see it, it is no longer possible to build spamc with 'configure'
and 'make'. The file version.h must be built and this is done by
configure.pl which then calls 'configure' (why without the supplied
options?).
I don't quite understand why this is handled differently now. Wasn't it
a goal to keep spamc with its setup through autoconf separate from the
Perl-based setup? I dimly remember discussions about even separating
spamc from spamassassin completely.
Would it be acceptable to change configure.pl so that it knows an option
'--create-version-file'. When executed with this option, configure.pl
will only create version.h and then quit; 'configure' could then be
called separately again.
This would make packaging simpler for me.
ciao
Klaus
