notmuch/configure, branch 0.1

Makefiles: Align the columns of output.

2010-04-01T07:07:08Z

Much better.

Makefiles: Make the install rules quiet like the compilation rules.

2010-04-01T06:54:21Z

The output from make is looking better all the time, (though the columns still aren't lined up).

Makefile.config: Avoid pre-expanding the ${prefix} variable.

2010-04-01T05:54:15Z

One of the supproted mechanisms we offer for configuration is manually editing the Makefile.config file after it is generated by the configure script. In this case it would be nice to be able to change prefix only once, so allow that.

Move some variable assignments from Makefile.local to Makefile.config

2010-04-01T05:54:08Z

There's not any special configure logic for determining these variable values, but if we did add some in the future, then these will now be in the right place for that. Additionally, this now makes Makefile.local the single place for the user to look for manually tweaking a variable assignment, (say, for a compiler that can't accept a particular warning argument). With this change, there should rarely be any need for a user to poke into any Makefile.local file.

configure: Fix installation of library to work with alternate --prefix

2010-04-01T01:17:51Z

If an explicit --libdir is passed, then that is used directly. Otherwise libdir is chosen as the value of $PREFIX/lib, (whether or not prefix was passed explicitly or set by default).

configure: Fix typo in help message.

2010-04-01T01:17:29Z

Documentation is installed to PREFIX/man not PREFIX/share.

Add a --libdir option to ./configure

2010-04-01T01:07:58Z

This allows packagers to specify to which directory libraries should be installed. Signed-off-by: Ingmar Vanhassel

Add install target for notmuch.desktop file.

2010-01-23T18:29:54Z

Add an install target that uses desktop-file-install to install the desktop file in the appropriate location. The location of the install can be modified by changing the desktop_dir variable. Signed-off-by: Jeffrey C. Ollie

configure: Look for both Xapian 1.1 and 1.0 and allow user override.

2010-01-06T18:31:09Z

The in-development version of Xapian provides a config program named xapian-config-1.1 while the released version provides a program named xapian-config instead. By default, we now try each of these in turn, and we also allow the user to set a XAPIAN_CONFIG environment variable to explicitly specify a particular program.

configure: Implement a --help option to document --prefix.

2009-12-05T00:05:12Z

Also document that values for CC, CFLAGS, etc. can be specified via environment variables.
