| Summary | 0005317: consider switching the configure+build system | ||||||||
| Description | Right now there are too many merges in configure.ac and Makefiles. Maybe I am able to skip this by using a different build system combination and ignore parts of what curl uses. I am considering bmake,mk-config, and, since we already have bits of perl in here and almost everyone has perl on their systems: openbsd-pkg-config. | ||||||||

The GNOME project, Xorg, Wayland and systemd have all switched to meson: http://mesonbuild.com/Users.html That might be a more appropriate replacement. |

Eh. No. Please don't. Stick to what upstream is using, we want to keep this a minimal patch. You won't end up with anything nearly as portable without autotools, and you'll have a never-ending nightmare trying to adjust the build system to both upstream changes from cURL and downstream requirements. Regardless, the real answer remains that we somehow need to get cURL to use a plugin-based architecture, so we can terminate this entire project.... |

I thought I had this closed months ago. Sorry, I don't log in so often into bugs. What I will have to fix is correctly enforce the configure switches, because too many people are still getting away with old switches and don't bother reading the release notes and readme. |
