Hi, Posting here as bugzilla is closed to registration. The zlib version checking code does not handle double digits for the patch version in the semantic versioning scheme. Consequently, a ./configure fails when using a zlib version ≥ 1.5.10. I suggest something like the following patch:
--- a/m4/R.m4
+++ b/m4/R.m4
@@ -3116,7 +3116,7 @@ int main() {
#ifdef ZLIB_VERSION
/* Work around Debian bug: it uses 1.2.3.4 even though there was no such
version on the master site zlib.net */
- exit(strncmp(ZLIB_VERSION, "1.2.5", 5) < 0);
+ exit(strncmp(ZLIB_VERSION, "1.2.5", 5) < 0 && (strlen(ZLIB_VERSION) < 6 ||
strncmp(ZLIB_VERSION, "1.2.10", 6) < 0));
#else
exit(1);
#endif
This could of course be improved to properly parse the string.
Cheers,
Justin
