Starting from V. 1.3.0 serf uses scons build system, not configure/make.
oh.... well there had to be a catch... i believe we don't have anything
with scons currently, so it remains to be seen if and how that will
support finding our bundled libraries instead of system libraries,
building on Windows with MSVC (and using debug runtimes with
--enable-dbgutil), cross-compiling for Android/iOS, etc.
to be able to compile serf-1.3.8 I rewrote the way it's built:
practically writing a make specific for Windows, in Linux I used scons
instead.
To use scons in Windows+cygwin+MSCV proved to be a nightmare.
In short reworking all this for LO can be a difficult task.
Michael, in Sept 30th, ESC [1], you asked why not curl instead of serf.
The reason you asked it's because is in the codebase, and it uses NSS,
right?
Other reasons I don't know?
Briefly searching in LO I found curl is used in cmis, where it does a
similar task as it would be requested in WebDAV.
