Description Stefan Briesenick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-23 08:41:48 UTC
Hi!

curl needs a version bumb from 7.11.0 to 7.11.1

ALSO: Please add "--enable-largefile" to the options (myconf).

it doesn't seem to be enabled by default (in contrast to what configure says):

curl 7.11.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.11.0 OpenSSL/0.9.7d ipv6 zlib/1.2.1
Protocols: ftp gopher telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: IPv6 SSL libz NTLM

after local version bump + --enable-largefile:

curl 7.11.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.11.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7d ipv6 zlib/1.2.1
Protocols: ftp gopher telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: IPv6 SSL libz NTLM Largefile

furthermore: I think it would be also good to set one of the following options:

  --disable-thread        don't look for thread-safe functions
  --enable-thread         look for thread-safe functions

  --enable-manual         Enable built-in manual
  --disable-manual        Disable built-in manual

perhaps via IUSE. I don't know the default...



Reproducible: Always

thanks. largefile is supported by default, but i've added it to the configure options just for safety. anyway, i'm not planning to make those options useflagged because there's not real need to turn those off unless you're developing against embedded targets (they just save a few bytes.) 
Comment 2 Stefan Briesenick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-26 11:36:10 UTC
ebuild works fine.

BUT:
/usr/lib/libcurl.so.2.0.2
/usr/lib/libcurl.so.2 -> libcurl.so.2.0.2
/usr/lib/libcurl.so -> libcurl.so.2.0.2
/usr/lib/libcurl.la
/usr/lib/libcurl.a

I think, it would be VERY good, to support the "static" USE-Flag. We really don't need both, .a and .so, so "-static" should set "--disable-static".

thanks!
