mod_auth_crypt.c also showed that libcrypt ("-lcrypt") was not part of the standard LIBS definition in Cygwin. Not sure if this latter part is Cygwin-specific
No. The "-lcrypt" was present in version 1.41 of jsm/Makefile but got lost in the last commit. I'll fix it.
Ok, cool.
If you need any more information, or need me to send this any other way, please let me know.
As already mentioned in the mail I wrote to you yesterday, I suggest to move the contents of the Cygwin README to the jabberd's WWW pages.
There's a kind of template at http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/1.4/doc/?page=winguide , just click on "Edit this page" at the bottom.
Apologies. I tend to use Mozilla as my newsreader, hooking in to Gmane.org's NNTP feed for this mailing list. Hadn't checked my email this weekend, so I missed your private emails. Sorry about that.
I will do as you suggest above. Also, as you suggested in the private emails, I will
* update the sample jabber.xml file and post here when ready
* send the necessary Makefile changes to the respective module owners for JUD, MU-Conference, etc.
* read up on cvs diff -u (again, sorry for that. Just haven't had much time to read up on diff. I understand what it does; just need to get comfortable with the switches/etc.)
By the way, I noticed your vote to *exclude* GNU Pth from the 1.4.3 distribution. Is that the plan?
Unless anybody comes up with a decent counter-argument, yes ;-).
For folks not altogether familiar with the Pth library, this exclusion might cause more grief.
Jabberd is the only piece of software I know that comes with the libraries it needs. While I can understand that this is handy sometimes, I think it causes several problems. For example, on better OS distributions the libraries should be retrieved and updated from the OS's repository ("apt-get install...", "emerge..."). Also, if you read the mailing list archive, you see that admins often encounter problems due to pth being compiled but not properly installed ("pth.h not found").
Point taken, and you're right. OS repositories (even one as simple as Cygwin's setup.exe) are definitely better. So no counter-argument from me. :-) [Just have to add some instructions for Cygwin users, as Pth isn't installed nor available currently as a Cygwin package, and so will require a manual download/compile/install. More to add to jabberd's WWW pages.]
