Is there official word? Do you want to be portable to the cross-compilation environment of compiling for mingw on Linux, and using wine to run the results? Then keep it. While cygwin 1.7 has certainly gotten smarter about implicit .exe handling, there are other environments where .exe is still explicitly required, so properly using $(EXEEXT) in makefiles (autoconf provides a correct setting of this variable, rather than hard-coding it) can only serve to make your makefiles portable to more systems. --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enig7E6F46EA7B0506B67C60D447 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at home.comcast.net/~ericblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuhH2wACgkQ84KuGfSFAYCZegCfcpDeX8gebw0XTnYSkPz10uZQ Bx4An18euuVDL2sDjeOk01el325usqp/ =jY7I -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig7E6F46EA7B0506B67C60D447--
