configure: check for ASAN support

2022-01-23T01:14:29Z

This will allow conditionally running tests that use the address sanitizer.

configure: calculate NOTMUCH_BUILDDIR, write to Makefile.config

2021-12-29T18:12:03Z

This will correct the current use of an undefined variable when setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in doc/Makefile.local It is tempting to try to replace the use of test/export-dirs.sh, but this is not as simple as it looks, as NOTMUCH_BUILDDIR is used to locate sh.config, so probably cannot also sensibly be used to define it.

configure: have bash_absolute and perl_absolute always defined

2021-12-11T11:17:42Z

Since set -u is used, without bash or perl, configure would fail. This has gone unnoticed as (almost) everyone always had both bash and perl installed (and in $PATH). Thanks to FreeBSD ports this bug became visible; this change is verbatim copy of `patch-configure` in FreeBSD ports tree.

python-cffi: fix out-of-tree build

2021-12-05T13:08:48Z

The main idea is to replace the hack of copying version.txt into the bindings source with a generated _notmuch_config.py file. This will mean that the bindings only build after configuring and building notmuch itself. Given those constraints, "pip install ." should work.

configure: whitespace cleanup

2021-10-10T23:58:29Z

In order to make it easier to keep the whitespace consistent in the configure script, use the same style defined in devel/STYLE for C/C++. Specifically, a line should begin with zero or more tabs followed by fewer than eight spaces. Presumably this will be no more difficult for people editing configure than for people editing the C and C++ code.

configure: check explicitely for python dev (include) files

2021-10-09T19:39:06Z

As discussed at [1] we have received reports that the implicit check using cffi.FFI().verify() is not reliable in all environments. Since we already use pkg-config, and the python dev package should include a .pc file [2], add an extra check using pkg-config. On at least Debian, we have to know which version of python dev files with are looking for, so calculate that first.

configure: optional library sfsexp

2021-09-05T00:07:19Z

The configure part is essentially the same as the other checks using pkg-config. Since the optional inclusion of this feature changes what options are available to the user, include it in the "built_with" pseudo-configuration keys.

configure: replace $(realpath emacs) with $(cd emacs && pwd -P)

2020-10-21T10:01:37Z

For portability; the realpath command (e.g. from GNU coreutils) is not so common outside Linux systems. The "$(cd emacs && pwd -P)" replaces that realpath(1) execution suitably in this context (using just bash(1) builtins).
