I keep seeing spurious changes to the file libpcre/pcre_chartables.c. It is present in the Subversion repository as a normal file. After a build, it becomes a symbolic link to libpcre/pcre_chartables.c.dist. After "make clean" it is removed. I usually have to remove and update the file before I can commit anything. pcre_chartables.c is an automatically generated file. In fact, the libpcre Makefile.am says ## This file is generated as part of the building process, so don't distribute. Is it okay to delete libpcre/pcre_chartables.c?I upgraded libpcre this last time, and IIRC that file is kept because it's needed on Windows but I couldn't think of a way to handle it on there (like the symlinking on UNIX). I honestly don't exactly remember the problem, but try removing it and compiling on Windows to see if it works. I suck at Windows building, so you may figure out a good solution.
Okay, that's a good reason. I'll leave it unless I think of a way to get rid of it that doesn't break on Windows. David _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
