I checked config.h, and the only things I have some doubts are: /* Define to the character that separates directories in PATH. */ #define PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR ':' /* Define to the name of the SCCS 'get' command. */ #define SCCS_GET "get" I also doubt config.h.W32.template may be a little out of date. It defines some macros that are never used, like HAVE_LONG_FILE_NAMES and HAVE_STRFTIME. Comments? > > I saw now the way my copying config.h.W32.template to config.h was not > > correct.
