Re: Compiling cfengine on Linux

[Daniel Nilsson]

Thank you.

There seems to be something wrong with configure, it check for "chflags"
and enables it, but it shouldnt be enabled on Linux I think.

configure:5844: checking for chflags
configure:5881: gcc -o conftest -g -O2
-I/home/cfengine/db/db-4.0.14/Linux_2.4.18/include
-I/usr/local/gnu/include  -L/usr/local/gnu/lib conftest.c -lm  >&5
/tmp/ccmK9ZNN.o: In function `main':
/home/cfengine/src/cfengine-2.0.4/configure:5872: warning:
chflags
is not implemented and will always fail
configure:5884: $? = 0
configure:5887: test -s conftest
configure:5890: $? = 0
configure:5900: result: yes

Does anyone know why? And how to fix it?
( The compile works fine if I edit src/conf.h and comment out
HAVE_CHFLAGS)
