Hi Christian, sorry for answering so late :-(
Such a switch would indeed be useful if one wants to test/use the latest master branch. In my case it is using latest master as dependency for CI Testing of Wget2. This includes a MinGW CI runner. Of course I can checkout the latest release tag, but atm I try to find issues in MHD development early. There is also the possibility to slightly change the development cycle of MHD: - Add new a feature in an own branch - Push that branch to Gitlab.com to test the code via CI (we already created CI runners), optionally create an MR (merge request) for discussion/collaboration. - When CI succeeds: merging of the feature branch into master (directly or via Gitlab UI) That way you keep the master branch clean and tested. Whatever you decide, let me know and I'll change my build scripts :-) Regards, Tim On 10/18/18 5:34 PM, Christian Grothoff wrote: > Hi Tim, > > The issue is that in line Makefile.am:10, we have "noinst_" instead of > "lib_" because the code is far from complete and it must not yet be > installed.
