Summary0007200: configure script accepts old MHD
DescriptionAs seen in 0007151, an old MHD can be problematic.
The documented minimum version is currently 0.9.71.
However, the configure script does not error out if an old MHD is found.
It should.

Same can be said for merchant.

Question: What is the feature in 0.9.71 that is required by exchange (merchant)?
TagsNo tags attached.

Oh, it's quite possible that it wasn't any particular feature that is required, but that there were bugfixes I deemed relevant enough to make 0.9.71 formally a requirement, just to avoid those bugs. Which is probably also why we didn't make it a hard error (yet).

I think if the documented minimum version is X.Y.Z, we would be doing ourselves a favor by making it a hard requirement.
I've reassigned the issue to myself and will add some autoconfigury shortly.

I've just pushed commits in both exchange and merchant to add a minimum version check (for libmicrohttpd).
As for the actual version required, i kept those at 0.9.39 (the previous value). Now that the mechanism is in place,
it's a small matter to bump the value whenever you deem best.

(At that time, we can close this issue.)

I've just now bumped the version to 0.9.71:

I see that GNUnet configure script uses pkg-config for libmicrohttpd.
Something to consider for Taler in the future....
