Hi, I have a question regarding the Makefile generated by Autotools in the Nmap distribution: libpcre/pcre.h - is cleared upon make distclean thus leaving the SVN working directory dirty As I see it pcre.h is generated automatically by the pcre toolkit. There is a copy already in the SVN distribution and configure script creates another, thus overwriting the repo one. Upon make distclean, pcre.h is removed since it is supposed to have been generated by the build process. Is pcre.h in the SVN repo for reasons such as a workaround for when that header can not be generated or is it a bug?
Correct, pcre.h is there for Windows builds, which don't use Autotools. We faced a similar problem with pcre_chartables.c. Check r5927; probably we can do something similar.
