configure: consistent command -v usage

2015-02-19T18:14:29Z

When the shell builtin `command -v` operates normally, it either prints the path of the arg given to it and returns zero -- or it returns nonzero and prints nothing. In abnormal situations something might be printed to stderr and in that case we want to know about it; therefore the used command -v stderr redirections to /dev/null have been removed. The `hash` (builtin) command in ksh returns zero even the arg given to is is not found in path. For that and for consistency the one appearance of it has been converted to `command -v`.

doc: remove support for rst2man

2015-01-22T07:37:25Z

It was becoming increasingly complicated to support rst2man, and there were apparently not many people that relied on it.

configure: add check for python interepreter name

2015-01-03T15:40:43Z

Currently we hardcode "python" in several places. This makes things hard for people who have only commands called python3 and/or python2. We also add the name to sh.config to eventually replace the current workaround in the test suite.

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.
