[squid-users] how to build squid for IPV6 ?

Hi there

I'm trying to follow the instructions in
(http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/IPv6-HOWTO/IPv6-HOWTO-4.html#squid)
to build an IPv6 squid.

I've read a few pages on the internet that say that squid has Kame patches
to use IPV6.
(ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/kame/misc/squid-1.1.22-v6-20001013.diff.gz)
I'm think this patch is to be applied against squid source for 1.1.22 -
which I can't find.

I have also read that the IPv6 is in CVS 2.5 branch.
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-ipv6/2002/debian-ipv6-200205/msg00044.html)

The latest article I can find suggests it might be included for 3.1
(http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-dev/200302/0045.html)

So....I'm trying to compile the ipv6 code extracted via cvs:
(cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.devel.squid-cache.org/cvsroot/squid co -r
ipv6 -d squid-ipv6 squid)

but the bootstrap.sh doesn't complete on my machine (Solaris 8.0 on Sun Axil
166Mhz 32bit CPU). I'm not sure whether its my machine not having correct
software on it (for example - I've recent versions of autoconf and automake)

This is what happens when I run bootstrap.sh
bash-2.03# ./bootstrap.sh

automake failed
Autotool bootstrapping failed. You will need to investigate and correct
before you can develop on this source tree

I guess what I'm asking is - is it possible to extract a working IPV6
squid - or is it something wrong with my host ?? Would it be more sensible
for me to wait for 3.1 to appear ?

Any pointers would be very greatfully accepted :)

Thanks
