Currently 'make depend' uses makedepend which is part of X11. While it may be likely that development machines have X, there may be people building OpenSSL on machines with no X. Even systems that have X, a users PATH doesn't include X binaries unless they are running under X. At a minimum we should find makedepend at Configure time by searching the user's PATH and common X binary locations. Something like $PATH:/usr/X/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/openwin/bin If makedepend is not found, perhaps a pointer to sources to build one. -- Tim Rice Multitalents (707) 887-1469 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
