Hi, it appears the pound build system has a number of automagick dependencies (on pcre, hoard and google perftools).
in source based distributions this can cause problems, as it becomes impossible/very dificult to track what a given package (in this case pound) links to. more about this at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/automagic.xml pounds automagick dependecy on pcre is no problem for us (Gentoo), as we just depend on it unconditionally. as for hoard and google perftools it would be nice if the build system provided a way to disable linking to them. the above url has a description of how to fix this, however not all autotools files (specifically configure.in) are distributed with the source, so only hacking configure directly is the only option left. however, i'd prefer if the pound distribution could be fixed. to this end i am asking for the addition of configure arguments --without- hoard (which would turn of checking for hoard) and --without-tcmalloc (which would turn of checking for google perftools). and while we are at it, a --without-pcre would be nice as well. humble regards Thilo -- To unsubscribe send an email with subject unsubscribe to [email protected].
