[naviserver-devel] nsversion.h, running configure on Windows

[Andrew P. <at...@pi...>]

Naviserver's include/nsversion.h is auto-generated from nsversion.h.in
when running configure (or autoconf).  How is that supposed to work
when building on Windows?  I've avoided the problem for now by simply
running configure on Linux and using the generated file, which
obviously isn't the right approach.

Is the idea to actually run configure on Windows, in Cygwin or
something?  So far I have haven't needed it for anything else.

Also, what is the point of generating nsversion.h like this anyway?
All that file seems to do is define constants like NS_MAJOR_VERSION,
so by using autoconf/configure, we set their canonical values in
configure.ac rather than directly in nsversion.h.  Why is that a win?
