notmuch/configure, branch 0.17

util: detect byte order

2013-11-27T11:43:29Z

Unfortunately old versions of GCC and clang do not provide byte order macros, so we re-invent them. If UTIL_BYTE_ORDER is not defined or defined to 0, we fall back to macros supported by recent versions of GCC and clang

database: Add notmuch_database_compact_close

2013-10-10T00:46:49Z

This function uses Xapian's Compactor machinery to compact the notmuch database. The compacted database is built in a temporary directory and later moved into place while the original uncompacted database is preserved. Signed-off-by: Ben Gamari

timegm: add portable implementation (Solaris support)

2013-08-23T15:57:35Z

The timegm(3) function is a non-standard extension to libc which is available in GNU libc and on some BSDs. Although SunOS had this function in its libc, Solaris (unfortunately) removed it. This patch implements a very simple version of timegm() which is good enough for parse-time-string.c. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Marek

strsep: check for availability (Solaris support)

2013-08-23T15:55:39Z

Solaris does not ship a version of the strsep() function. This change adds a check to "configure" to see whether notmuch needs to provide its own implementation, and if so, it uses the new version in "compat/strsep.c" (which was copied from Mutt, and apparently before that from glibc).

asctime: check for standards compliance (Solaris support)

2013-08-23T15:55:23Z

Add checks to "configure" to see whether _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS needs to be defined to get the right number of arguments in the prototypes for asctime_r(). Solaris' default implementation conforms to POSIX.1c Draft 6, rather than the final POSIX.1c spec. The standards-compliant version can be used by defining _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS. This change also adds the file "compat/check_asctime.c", which configure uses to perform its check, and modifies compat/compat.h to define _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS if configure detected it was needed. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Marek

getpwuid: check for standards compliance (Solaris support)

2013-08-23T15:53:17Z

Add checks to "configure" to see whether _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS needs to be defined to get the right number of arguments in the prototypes for getpwuid_r(). Solaris' default implementation conforms to POSIX.1c Draft 6, rather than the final POSIX.1c spec. The standards-compliant version can be used by defining _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS. This change also adds the file "compat/check_getpwuid.c", which configure uses to perform its check, and modifies compat/compat.h to define _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS if configure detected it was needed.

configure: grab CPPFLAGS from the environment.

2013-06-02T23:45:56Z

This is needed in particular for hardening flags.

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
