Obviously, but usually while developing you already add in more verbose logging capacity or something or other to facilitate debugging. And depending on how you implemented it, it's either a runtime option or a debug compile flag for example. I was simply expecting something like that.

... All I was saying is that if I free up two or three days to work on this, I don't want to spend them just getting the thing to compile. I've never run into a piece of software that "just compiles", there's always fidgety nonsense about compiler versions, library versions, missing stuff... And I really don't want to blow my time on that, I'm sure you understand. So once again, if you can tell me use this this this and that and you're good to go then we can continue.

Also, you're assuming other people who run into this problem will actually bother to find this mailing list or some way to mention it and don't just pass up on using curl.

Indeed, I see what happened, forgot to click on the subscribe button in the confirmation link. Anyway, it should be there now to scare people.
