Hi Andy, Pete, I have put in http://ganis.home.cern.ch/ganis/ROOT/XRD/xrd.html a patched version 20040830-0105 (tagged 20040901-1027) with support for -DHAS_NAMEINFO and the possibility to switch on/off echoing of gmake commands (default off). There is also the output from 'diff' in the case it may be useful. For getnameinfo, the variable CFNAMEINFO is defined in src/GNUmake.env and should be added to the compilation line in the relevant module-specific GNUmakefile (as for CFSTRLCPY and the others). Pete: when I untar your tarballs I find a file src/GNUmake.rules which is never used (the appropriate rules file is included at the end of src/GNUmake.env) and probably a renmant of some intermediate development version: can you remove it from CVS? Gerri
