Re: [Bug-wget] wget1.14: warc.c: compilation fails due to C++ comments

[Martin Baute]

Dear Maintainers,

I would like to confirm the issue mentioned below, for wget 1.14 on
AIX 6.1, configured with --disable-ssl using v11.1 of IBM's XL C for 
AIX.

I also can confirm that this is a regression from wget 1.13.4, which 
compiles
without problems.

In addition to changing the comments manually, there is also the 
workaround
of setting CFLAGS=-qcpluscmt prior to calling ./configure to enable 
proper
handling of C++ style comments.

Hoping this will be fixed,
