configure: really expand libdir_expanded

2012-12-01T12:04:30Z

It turns out that if people really use configure in autotools style and pass libdir containing '${prefix}/foo' then the ldconfig previously failed. This uses sed for portability (versus bash parameter expansion with substitution) and hopefully a bit more robustness than blindly parameter expanding the string.

build: drop the -Wswitch-enum warning

2012-10-31T19:39:25Z

-Wswitch-enum is a bit awkward if a switch statement is intended to handle just some of the named codes of an enumeration especially, and leave the rest to the default label. We already have -Wall, which enables -Wswitch by default, and per GCC documentation, "The only difference between -Wswitch and this option [-Wswitch-enum] is that this option gives a warning about an omitted enumeration code even if there is a default label." Drop -Wswitch-enum to not force listing all named codes of enumerations in switch statements that have a default label.

Support OpenBSD

2012-10-27T12:35:47Z

OpenBSD's build flags are identical to FreeBSD, except that libraries need to be explicitly linked against libc. No code changes are necessary. From: Cody Cutler

configure: Add support for FreeBSD.

2012-09-02T02:15:53Z

This makes FreeBSD a recognized platform. Follow up patches make it work properly.

configure: check whether shell is capable of parameter substring processing

2012-07-25T11:17:24Z

'configure' script uses parameter substring extensively. It is Posix shell feature. Original Bourne shell does not have such features. Some systems still ships such shells as /bin/sh (for compatibility reasons -- shell scripts written on those platforms are expected to work on 1990's systems). Just testing whether parameter substring processing works will make the shell exit due to syntax error if it is not compatible. Therefore the test is executed in a subshell -- subshell exits with nonzero value when the operation in question fails. As 'if ! ...' does not work in Bourne shell, Short-circuiting construct '||' is used to print information message and exit when expected.

config: add quoting to fix IFS bug

2012-06-03T16:26:44Z

Without proper quoting the DEFAULT_IFS was getting set incorrectly, which was causing problems with the storage of some variables later in the script. Quoting fixes the problem.

configure: add help note about gmime version

2012-05-26T00:40:55Z

configure: change gmime version in help message to 2.6

2012-04-05T11:01:32Z

Since GMime 2.6 is now the stable version upstream, and probably the most tested by notmuch developers, it makes sense to suggest that to users to install.

configure: print info about required gmime 2.4 or 2.6 versions

2012-04-05T10:53:04Z

In case required gmime (2.4 or 2.6) version if not found print information about both alternatives (and currently minimal 2.6 version that is needed).

configure: add empty line after each missing component message

2012-04-05T10:50:51Z

Currently whenever message about missing GMime, Glib or talloc is printed the message is 2 lines, component info and its http location in next line. In the future the amount of lines will vary. To ease reading in these cases newline is added after each message.
