test: define GMime version dependant breakage

2017-06-01T00:54:08Z

We have some tests where the gmime 3 behaviour seems like a bug fix, others where it's less clear, so we allow both possibilities.

configure: add optional support for gmime-3.0

2017-06-01T00:52:15Z

This is only the changes to make configure work; it won't compile with gmime-3.0 yet.

configure: Be more verbose when compiler sanity checks fail

2017-04-14T19:14:26Z

When configure could not get past initial compiler sanity check the user was left with no explanation why this happened (usually the reason is that compilers are not installed). By printing the executed command line and re-executing it without output redirection user gets better information how to proceed (or ask for help) to resolve this problem. The shell builtin 'printf' is used to print the executed command line to ensure verbatim output.

configure: change default bash completion location to /usr/share

2017-03-25T15:01:22Z

At least Fedora and Debian now use /usr/share/bash-completion/completions now. Apparently /etc/bash_completion.d will be phased out at some point in the future.

tests: add compatibility layer

2017-03-25T10:56:52Z

Make test-lib-common.sh load test-lib-<$PLATFORM>.sh to create additional shim for platform specifics. Use test-lib-FREEBSD.sh to call GNU utilities instead of native ones. - amended by db following Tomi's suggestions

fix out of tree build

2017-03-12T12:17:29Z

In addition to use ${srcdir} and deliver ${NOTMUCH_SRCDIR} where needed, source from ruby bindings had to be copied to the out-of-tree target directory -- if the source files in source directory were referenced in build and there were also built object files there, those could have been considered as target files (and then not found when attempting to create bindings/ruby/notmuch.so).

configure: add ${NOTMUCH_SRCDIR} -- absolute path to notmuch source

2017-03-12T12:16:54Z

The ${srcdir} -- usually relative path to notmuch source -- works fine in current ./configure and all makefiles. To have simple access to notmuch source in tests and out of tree builds holding absolute path to the source directory is useful.

configure: removed $zlib_(cflags|ldflags) from compat code build

2017-03-09T14:20:01Z

When pkg-config does not find configure, a compat version of the zlib.pc is created. In creation of that configure attempted to read values of $zlib_cflags and $zlib_ldflags. In the usual case those were undefined, and with `set -a` now in the beginning of configure, configure broke. Even if $zlib_cflags and $zlib_ldflags had values which were used to create zlib.pc, the values were overwritten (with static content) a few lines later in next pkg-config --cflags and --libs run. These values would not be different and probably useless -- the following boild would probably fail. But instead of using those, CPATH and LIBRARY_PATH environment variables can be used successfully (both while configuring and building).

Merge branch 'release'

Second gnugpg test suite fix

Revert "configure: add test for gpgconf --create-socketdir"

2017-02-27T22:27:49Z

This reverts commit 12f7d4e61d30fb9a5c99e128ab1aab0bf069cdb4. Since we're not using gpgconf anymore, drop the unneeded test in configure.
