Hi,  
zlib-1.2.4 has been released recently and it’s default Makefile has  
changed.  
It now only contains distclean target and no target named ‘clean’ before  
./configure is run. Hence, nginx source build against zlib-1.2.4 fails.  
Please fix this in the next release.

Thanks,  
Vinay

Uhm, see no difference with the one I’ve posted. Am I missed  
something?

oops. I didn’t notice your patch attachment. I thought you were asking

the patch :-p Both are fine.
