notmuch/configure, branch 0.19_rc2

configure: move make {,install} instructions to the end

2014-11-02T18:40:05Z

There was theorical possibility that writing the config files could have skipped (by interruption) after the instructions how to make notmuch was printed out.

configure: add debug flags by default.

2014-10-05T05:27:49Z

This makes development (in particular the test suite) easier. Those concerned about the extra diskspace can override the default or use strip.

build: generate sh.config for feeding configure results to shell scripts

2014-07-13T15:15:47Z

Only include the relevant information. Amended by David Bremner: Use a prefix NOTMUCH_ to minimize collisions with other variables.

doc: build and install doxygen api docs

2014-07-09T22:32:15Z

In order to support out of tree builds and avoid hardcoding version number, generate `doc/config.dox` from configure.

configure: use cc/c++ instead of gcc/g++

2014-07-04T11:56:32Z

Some systems (e.g. FreeBSD 10) do not ship with the GNU Compiler Collection. Use generic cc/c++ instead of gcc/g++ (unless the CC/CXX environment variables are used).

configure: add workaround for systems without zlib.pc

2014-06-21T19:40:39Z

Some systems (e.g. FreeBSD) might not have installed the appropriate pkg-config file as they should. We can workaround the issue by creating the .pc file they should have distributed. Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras

configure: fix comment, pass HAVE_CANONICALIZE_FILE_NAME to build

2014-04-18T20:58:59Z

Apparently omitting it is not fatal, but let's be consistent with the other compat functions.

configure: add $(ZLIB_CFLAGS) to CONFIGURE_CFLAGS

2014-04-13T11:42:38Z

As it is defined in CONFIGURE_CXXFLAGS.

dump: support gzipped and atomic output

2014-04-12T10:59:44Z

The main goal is to support gzipped output for future internal calls (e.g. from notmuch-new) to notmuch_database_dump. The additional dependency is not very heavy since xapian already pulls in zlib. We want the dump to be "atomic", in the sense that after running the dump file is either present and complete, or not present. This avoids certain classes of mishaps involving overwriting a good backup with a bad or partial one.

compat: add canonicalize_file_name

2014-04-08T10:27:14Z

the POSIX 2008 behaviour of realpath is not available everywhere so we provide a simple wrapper function. We use (and provide) the gnu extension canonicalize_file_name to make it cleaner to test for the feature we need; otherwise we have to rely on realpath segfaulting if the second argument is null.
