This is mainly for the test suite. We already expect the tests to be
run in the same environment as configure was run, at least to get the
name of the python interpreter. So we are not really imposing a new
restriction.
Checking the existence of timegm() function and setting
configure internal variable ${have_timegm} was done, but
actually defining HAVE_TIMEGM in build was not done --
meaning that compat timegm() was always part of final
notmuch binaries.
This does not play well with --prefix. As Tomi notes in
id:m2k2p2rwth.fsf@guru.guru-group.fi, people still have the option of e.g.
% ./configure ---emacslispdir=`pkg-config emacs --variable sitepkglispdir`
It's becoming a maintenance burden to do anything things with the
crypto glue code twice, once for 2.4 and once for 2.6. I don't have
any 2.4 version available to test on my development machine anymore,
so the 2.4 specific code paths are likely not very well tested.
- Make lib/notmuch.h the canonical location for the library versioning
information.
- Since the release-check should never fail now, remove it to reduce
complexity.
- Make the version numbers in notmuch.h consistent with the (now
deleted) ones in lib/Makefile.local
The configure script chooses "python" if both python and python{2,3}
exist exists, so this could change the version of python used to run
the test suite.
The checking for ${NOTMUCH_PYTHON} in the test suite is arguably
over-engineering, since the configure step will fail if it can't find
it.
Previously documentation was build automatically if sphinx/doxygen
executable were found. The switch is used to unconditionally disable
sphinx/doxygen detection and therefor, building of documentation
(including man pages).
Because ruby generates a Makefile, we have to use recursive make.
Because mkmf.rb hardcodes the name Makefile, put our Makefile{.local}
in the parent directory.
Passing in environment variables incompatible with the compiler may
cause other parts of the configure script to fail in hard to
understand ways, so we abort early.
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`.
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.
There was theorical possibility that writing the config files could
have skipped (by interruption) after the instructions how to make
notmuch was printed out.
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).
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.

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.
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.
The subtle part is adding .rst and .py files to vpath so they can be
used as dependencies without prefixing with $(srcdir)
We also change the interface to mkbuildeps.py: rather than getting the
containing directory from the conf file path, we go the other way.
Because sphinx-build does not provide a convenient way of listing
which builders exist, and some people actually have pre 1.0 sphinx, we
try loading a relevant python module.
Currently the assumption is that no python in path -> no sphinx-build
in path.
Support for dirent.d_type is OS-specific. Previously, we used
_DIRENT_HAVE_D_TYPE to detect support for this, but this is apparently
a glic-ism (FreeBSD, for example, supports d_type, but does not define
this). Since there's no cross-platform way to detect support for
dirent.d_type, detect it using a test compile at configure time.
Unfortunately old versions of GCC and clang do not provide byte order
macros, so we re-invent them.
If UTIL_BYTE_ORDER is not defined or defined to 0, we fall back to
macros supported by recent versions of GCC and clang
This function uses Xapian's Compactor machinery to compact the notmuch
database. The compacted database is built in a temporary directory and
later moved into place while the original uncompacted database is
preserved.

The timegm(3) function is a non-standard extension to libc which is
available in GNU libc and on some BSDs. Although SunOS had this
function in its libc, Solaris (unfortunately) removed it. This patch
implements a very simple version of timegm() which is good enough for
parse-time-string.c.

Solaris does not ship a version of the strsep() function. This change
adds a check to "configure" to see whether notmuch needs to provide its
own implementation, and if so, it uses the new version in
"compat/strsep.c" (which was copied from Mutt, and apparently before
that from glibc).

Add checks to "configure" to see whether _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS needs
to be defined to get the right number of arguments in the prototypes for
asctime_r(). Solaris' default implementation conforms to POSIX.1c
Draft 6, rather than the final POSIX.1c spec. The standards-compliant
version can be used by defining _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS.
This change also adds the file "compat/check_asctime.c", which
configure uses to perform its check, and modifies compat/compat.h to
define _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS if configure detected it was needed.

It turns out that if people really use configure in autotools style and pass
libdir containing '${prefix}/foo' then the ldconfig previously failed.
This uses sed for portability (versus bash parameter expansion with
substitution) and hopefully a bit more robustness than blindly
parameter expanding the string.
-Wswitch-enum is a bit awkward if a switch statement is intended to
handle just some of the named codes of an enumeration especially, and
leave the rest to the default label.
We already have -Wall, which enables -Wswitch by default, and per GCC
documentation, "The only difference between -Wswitch and this option
[-Wswitch-enum] is that this option gives a warning about an omitted
enumeration code even if there is a default label."
Drop -Wswitch-enum to not force listing all named codes of
enumerations in switch statements that have a default label.
OpenBSD's build flags are identical to FreeBSD, except that libraries
need to be explicitly linked against libc. No code changes are
necessary.

'configure' script uses parameter substring extensively. It is Posix shell
feature. Original Bourne shell does not have such features. Some systems
still ships such shells as /bin/sh (for compatibility reasons -- shell
scripts written on those platforms are expected to work on 1990's systems).
Just testing whether parameter substring processing works will make the
shell exit due to syntax error if it is not compatible. Therefore the test
is executed in a subshell -- subshell exits with nonzero value when the
operation in question fails.
As 'if ! ...' does not work in Bourne shell, Short-circuiting construct
'||' is used to print information message and exit when expected.
Without proper quoting the DEFAULT_IFS was getting set incorrectly,
which was causing problems with the storage of some variables later in
the script. Quoting fixes the problem.
