a few questions so far: 1) where does "cors_enable=true get set - tried to do sudo ./configure --cors_enable.... that didn't work 2) ini file ? is that a windows thing ? - also would be helpful to have an example of that 3) using autoconf gave the following: configure.ac:22: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. configure.ac:25: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.ac:28: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_ENABLE_SHARED configure.ac:29: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC configure.ac:33: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL configure.ac:61: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE configure.ac:207: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL configure.ac:302: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_WARN configure.ac:334: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_ICU configure.ac:352: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_CURL
