Interesting, that would affect gnutls as well since it is also using libunistring that way. > So right now, libunistring is a prerequisite for building libidn2.

Would it make sense to make that explicit, and have configure fail if libunistring is not available? regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ Help-libidn mailing list Help-libidn@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-libidn
