Use of gnulib's cfg.mk

2012-04-14 Thread Reuben Thomas
I see that gnulib has its own cfg.mk which is used, for example, to skip some syntax-check checks on gnulib's own code. It also has its own Makefile.am. In GNU Zile I get these by virtue of having gnulib as a git submodule. However, GNU Hello uses Bazaar, and I can't see a way to include a git subm

The 'stat' module makes two checks: checking whether stat handles trailing slashes on directories... checking whether stat handles trailing slashes on files... On native Windows, the results are: * for mingw and MSVC 9: checking whether stat handles trailing slashes on directories... no

Here's a proposed patch for Large File Support for native Windows platforms. Tested on mingw, mingw64 (32-bit), MSVC 9. It turns out there's nothing to do with open(), creat() - because there is no need for O_LARGEFILE on Windows - and also nothing to do with fopen(), fgetpos(), fsetpos() - becaus
