[zeromq-dev] ./configure fails when cross compiling malamute

[Benjamin Henrion]

Hi,

I am cross-compiling malamute from the now working master, but fails
compared to the version I was using before
(a8879c364c76ff14747d9ecd71a98057934d62e9).

I got this error in ./configure:

checking for memset... no
checking for getifaddrs... yes
checking for .git... configure: error: cannot check for file existence
when cross compiling

It seems there is a new configure flag in configure.ac:

+# enable draft API by default if we're in a git repository
 +# else disable it by default; then allow --with-draft=yes/no override
 +AC_CHECK_FILE(.git, [gitmaster=yes], [gitmaster=no])

 +AC_ARG_WITH([drafts],
 +    AS_HELP_STRING([--with-drafts],
 +        [Build and install draft classes and methods [default=yes.]]),
 +    [with_drafts=$withval],
 +    [with_drafts=$gitmaster])
 +
 +AM_CONDITIONAL([WITH_DRAFTS], [test x$with_drafts != xno])
 +
 +if test "x$with_drafts" = "xyes"; then
 +    AC_MSG_NOTICE([building draft, stable, and legacy API])
 +    AC_DEFINE(WITH_DRAFTS, 1, [Build and install draft classes and methods.])
 +else
 +    AC_MSG_NOTICE([building stable and legacy API (no drafts)])
 +fi

I could use the ./configure --draft=no in my build instructions, if
you have a better idea...
