When compiling nmap on OSX Leopard, I noticed some errors in the ./ configure output. rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory Searching around this is definitely a bug in autoconf on Leopard that is fixed in the latest 2.62 release. nmap currently uses autoconf 2.13, which was released in '99.
Hi Chris! Wow, that is great that 2.62 was released a few weeks ago. The previous release was 2.61 from November 2006 :(. But we aren't using 2.13. Our configure.ac has: AC_PREREQ(2.13) But that just means that we *insist* on at least version 2.13. But we actually use 2.61 for the distributed tarballs (with much newer config.sub/config.guess files): flog~/nmap>find . -name configure -exec egrep '^# Generated by GNU' '{}' \; # Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61. # Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61. # Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61. # Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61. # Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61 for PCRE 7.6. # Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61. # Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61. flog~/nmap> Cheers, -F _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
