I have a feeling more curl-library folks will know what's up here, so
even though this isn't strictly about the library, I'm posting there.

I just grabbed the latest code from cvs and tried to build it on my
solaris machine (SunOS 5.8). After getting the right versions of
automake/autoconf/libtool installed, buildconf, configure and make all
work fine. There are a few warnings, along the lines of:

source='mprintf.c' object='mprintf.lo' libtool=yes \
DEPDIR=.deps depmode=gcc /bin/bash ../depcomp \

mprintf.c:964: warning: ANSI C does not support `long long'

I haven't looked deeper into this yet, but maybe someone else knows
what's going on here?

I tried:

make dist

to see what would happen.

With the source directory configured as the build directory, I got an
error that roffit wasn't found. A quick google for roffit shows that
it's one of Daniel's packages so I grabbed it, included it in my path,
and got a bit farther. Is there a more helpful error message, or some
way to include roffit with curl, or something? Or is the idea that most
folks don't run make dist?

With roffit, make dist goes all the way through, but complains that I
don't have groff. I'm sure I can twist my sysadmin's arm and he'll
install it for me, and everything will work.

make distcheck (again with the source directory configured as the build
directory) ends up running the testsuite, which has a couple of failures
for me. Here are the results:

make distcheck stops here because of the failure. When I run the
testsuite "manually" with make test in the tests directory, my results
are slightly different:

How does distcheck work for other folks out there?

Thanks for your help.
