Reading this I decided to try running "autoconf" followed by "make autoconf" and now off_t is detected properly(!). I have no idea why it did not work earlier (I did run those two commands earlier, but perhaps not one after the other in that order)... This makes me wonder: What is the correct incantation for generating the configure scripts after I've modified src/configure.in? Both "autoconf" and "make autoconf"? (The Makefile makes it sound like the latter should be enough but that does not pick up on changes to configure.in.) Björn -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
