notmuch/configure, branch 0.4

configure: Add a check for the -Wl,--as-needed flag.

2010-10-30T20:20:33Z

This fits with our general build philosophy of checking at configure time for desired support, (rather than putting platform-specific conditionals into our Makefiles).

fixup

2010-10-30T20:16:50Z

configure: Remove a debugging print message.

2010-10-30T20:15:00Z

This was never intended to be committed.

configure: Test for flag to set rpath

2010-10-30T20:15:00Z

This is better than the previous approach which had a hardcoded Linux-specific value in the Makefile.

configure: Test for each compiler warning before enabling it.

2010-10-30T20:11:56Z

This should allow the build to be much more automatically portable to compilers with different sets of warning options.

configure: Set XAPIAN_CONFIG to only "xapian-config" by default.

2010-10-29T21:49:20Z

Previously, we preferred a value of "xapian-config-1.1" first. This was convenient for compiling against Xapian 1.1 while Xapian 1.2 was unreleased. But now that Xapian 1.2 is realease, and since it ships a xapian-config, the xapian-config-1.1 value can mask the newer library. Instead of trying to track the latest xapian-config-1.x in our configure script let's simply expect the user to set XAPIAN_CONFIG=xapian-config-1.x in order to compile against an unreleased Xapian.

configure: optimize uname finding a bit

make install: Run ldconfig or install a DT_RUNPATH in binary as appropriate.

2010-06-04T23:52:56Z

Various users were confused as to why they couldn't run notmuch immediately after "make install", (with linker errors saying that libnotmuch.so could not be found). The errors came from two different causes: 1. The user had installed to a system library directory, but had not yet run ldconfig. 2. The user had installed to some non-system directory, and had not set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. With this change we fix both problems (on Linux) without the user having to do anything additional. We first use ldconfig to find the system library directories. If the user is installing to one of these, then we run ldconfig as part of "make install". For case (2) we use the -rpath and --enable-new-dtags linker options to install a DT_RUNPATH entry in the binary. This entry tells the dynamic linker where to find libnotmuch. Without the --enable-new-dtags option only a DT_RPATH option would be installed, (which has the drawback of not allowing any override with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable). Distributions (such as Debian and Fedora) don't want to see binaries packaged with a DT_RPATH or DT_RUNPATH entry. This should be avoided automatically as long as the packages install to standard locations, (such as /usr/lib).

configure: Remove space from IFS (using tab as necessary)

2010-06-04T23:51:32Z

The idea here is to more easily support filenames with spaces in them in various loops. We're about to add a loop over the paths configured by the dynamic linker. Hopefully, they wouldn't contain spaces, but one never knows so we might as well be prepared.

Add support for the Solaris platform

2010-06-04T01:17:03Z

Like on Mac OS X, the linker doesn't automatically resolve dependencies. Signed-off-by: Tomas Carnecky
