Subject: [PATCH v2] Makefile: Make 'configure --with-expat=path' actually work
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 21:43:57 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.00.0901282120240.74552@toad.stack.nl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7vocxrqm57.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org>

While the configure script sets the EXPATDIR environment variable to
whatever value was passed to its option --with-expat as the prefix of
the location of the expat library and headers, the Makefile ignored it.
This patch fixes this bug.

That's not entirely right, unless I'm missing something. The configure script
does not try to detect expat itself, though it passes on the argument
to --with-expat to the Makefile, via the EXPATDIR environment variable.

Ok.
