Hmm. We may need to modify the test to do for /DEFINE what it already does for /INCLUDE. >It turns out though, that I will only have one define, as _USE_STD_STAT >implies _LARGEFILE and 32 bit GIDs, and symlinks will require _USE_STD_STAT. > >Based on your other post, I am modifying my copy of CONFIGURE.COM to enabling >hardlinks if support is detected for them on the build disk, not as a >build option. Excellent. I look forward to your patch. I suppose there's no reason to do the check unless we're on v7.3-1 or later. >I am also only enabling SYMLINK support if the operating system supports >it and the uselargefiles option is also active. It may be counterintuitive that one has to enable large file support in order to also get symlink support. But I don't have a better suggestion at the moment. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
