Re: strnlen on Mingw [Was Re: Stable 20090129 compiled to windows]

[Michel Boaventura]

Strange, even in first line of configure, if I print
ac_cv_func_strnlen_working it says "yes"
so I run "set" on console and it was setted like one session var,
among with a lot of others from configure.
I think that somehow it became session var, maybe with my tests and
now it works :$

Sorry about the trouble.

Good night (it's 02:43 here on Brazil :D)
