It does no look like Falcon-specific.

I agree with Kent this would fit in 5.0.

Noted in 5.0.60, 5.1.24, 6.0.5 changelogs. On Windows, an error in configure.js caused installation of source distributions to fail.
Description: Building from source on Windows fails in configure.js. The reason is that the file being read as input, configure.in, has DOS CR/LF in it. This is probably different on what program you use to unpack the distribution, but WINZIP does this anyway, and as winzip is very common, this should be a common error. What happens is that the function GetValue in configure.js breaks when it comes to removing traling double quotes mainly, but also in other cases, as it will only remove the trailing LF, not a CR if that exists, so the CR is left in the string. And if the value is double quoted, then the trailing double quote isn't removed and the syntax of the generated file is invalid (this is when looking for a trailing double qote, what is found is only a trailing CR). How to repeat: Download the MySQL source distro to windows. Unzip with Winzip. In the base directory, run win/configure. Now, look at the generated file win/configure.data, and this is clearly invalid, there are several embedded CR here and there. Suggested fix: Simple. Add a conditional clause to remove the trailing CR if it exists, before removing the trailing double quote, in GetValue. Like this: function GetValue(str, key) { var pos = str.indexOf(key+'='); if (pos == -1) return null; pos += key.length + 1; var end = str.indexOf("\n", pos); if (str.charAt(pos) == "\"") pos++; // Remove trailing CR if it exists. if (str.charAt(end-1) != 13) end--; if (str.charAt(end-1) == "\"") end--; return str.substring(pos, end); }
