Previously, an empty string as spidermonkeydir or luadir meant
that the LIBS and CFLAGS variables should be used unchanged. A few
commits ago however, the configure script was changed to require
test -f "$spidermonkeydir$spidermonkeyinclude/jsapi.h" and
test -f "$luadir/include/lua$suffix/lua.h" to succeed. These
commands interpret spidermonkeydir="" and luadir="" as the root
directory. This behaviour was inconsistent with the part that
decides whether to add the directory to *_LIBS and *_CFLAGS or not.
The inconsistency could be solved in two ways. Either (a) add an
exception so that the test -f is skipped if the variable is empty,
or (b) treat an empty string as the root directory throughout.
Because the Makefile of SpiderMonkey always installs to a subdirectory
of the specified include directory, and ELinks uses #include <jsapi.h>
without specifying that subdirectory in source code, it seems unlikely
that the SpiderMonkey header files would ever be in the default
include path. I am therefore implementing solution (b) here.
I suppose similar considerations apply to Lua but did not check that
carefully.
The SpiderMonkey support in ELinks now uses JS_GetReservedSlot,
which was added in SpiderMonkey 1.5 RC3a, released on 2001-05-11.
So ELinks no longer supports earlier versions of SpiderMonkey.
However, be careful not to claim that ELinks needs "SpiderMonkey
1.5 RC3a or later", because we haven't tested 1.5 RC3a.
(I guess we didn't test zlib 1.2.0.2 either... oh, well.)
I'm not sure if JS_GetReservedSlot exists in all versions of the SpiderMonkey.
IMHO the configure script should check for JS_GetReservedSlot.
The patch in the attachment.
It was reported at elinks-dev on 2007-06-03 that Solaris 10 comes with
zlib 1.1.4, which does not include gzclearerr(), which ELinks nowadays
requires. It would be possible to rewrite the decompression support
to use deflate() directly and avoid stdio, in which case gzclearerr()
would not be needed. That will take some time however, so I'm not
attempting it for ELinks 0.12.0. Instead, I'm just disabling gzip
decompression entirely if zlib is too old.
The configure script checks whether it is possible to compile a use of
POPpx without an n_a variable; if not, the source code then defines
those variables. This is slower than including Perl's patchlevel.h
and comparing the version numbers to 5.8.8 but I expect this to be
more reliable as well.
CPPFLAGS was dropped[1] back on 2004-04-24. Then a workaround was
introduced by commit 6d7e9bfe5b to fix
compilation on FreeBSD that used CPPFLAGS to store iconv related flags.
The use of CPPFLAGS with respect to the COMPILE "macro" reappeared in
40e257bedd on 2006-08-05.
This commit makes configure.in print CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS. Before,
CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS was mixed together in the feature summary. It also
restores the use of CPPFLAGS storing iconv related flags but keeps the
use of the SAVE/RESTORE_FLAGS in the iconv macro.

src/protocol/smb/smb.c: Added #error directives so that this
vulnerable code cannot be accidentally compiled in.
features.conf: Disable CONFIG_SMB by default and explain why.
configure.in: If CONFIG_SMB is enabled, disable it and warn the user.
This is for people who have customized features.conf.
This reverts the following commits:
- 86ed79deaf
Use wcwidth if available and applicable.
- 304f5fa1ea
comment fix (__STDC_ISO_10646__, not __STDC_ISO_10646)
- part of 71eebf1cc7
Compensate for glibc not defining wcwidth() when _XOPEN_SOURCE is not set
And adds a lengthy comment about LC_CTYPE problems.
The configure script no longer recognizes "CONFIG_UTF_8=yes" lines
in custom features.conf files. They will have to be changed to
"CONFIG_UTF8=yes". This incompatibility was deemed acceptable
because no released version of ELinks supports CONFIG_UTF_8.
The --enable-utf-8 option was not renamed.
... since the latter is for printing int64_T and we don't check for that and
we use PRId64 only for printing values having the off_t types.
Besides off_t has it's own ELinks specific defaults so it should be safer
to use an internal format string. If off_t is 8 bytes use "lld" else use
"ld".

Use the new names instead of the deprecated names to increase
the likelihood that later versions, which might lack the
backwards-compatibility wrappers, will work.
This changes GC checking to use the EL_CHECK_OPTIONAL_LIBRARY macro to
reduce redundancy. This means that there is --with-gc instead of
--enable-gc so you can pass it a path, which is needed on Debian systems
where <gc.h> resides in /usr/include/gc/gc.h.
The macro is adapted accordingly to serve the above purpose. That is,
"$withval/include" and "$withval/lib" is only appended to CFLAGS and LIBS
if they exist (else "$withval" is appended to CFLAGS).
- Use EL_ARG_DEPENDS(), the other way ended up in undefined symbols
errors with --enable-fsp and no fsplib.
- Also check for -lfsp in addition to -lfsplib.
- This could probably also use a --with-fsplib or something to specify the
path, had problems with that too, because fsplib-0.7 installed into
/usr/local, ...
This changes the init target to be idempotent: most importantly it will now
never overwrite a Makefile if it exists. Additionally 'make init' will
generate the .vimrc files. Yay, no more stupid 'added fairies' commits! ;)
- Remove AC_PROG_MAKE_SET; we's be using GNU.
- Don't AC_SUBST() SPARSE; AC_PATH_PROGS() already does that.
- Fix cleaning after previous builds by moving up builddir setting
and only cleaning under $builddir/src/ so as not to launch infinite
reruns of configure.
Either set CONFIG_SM_SCRIPTING in features.conf or pass to ./configure the
option --disable-sm-scripting. Now scripting is also enabled when needed
and not only if some other scripting backend is enabled.
Remove some remnants of SEE scripting backend.
The following patch makes the configure script of ELinks ignore an
installed GNUTLS that is too old. If --with-gnutls was specified, this
results in a fatal error.
Tested with:
- Debian libgnutls11-dev 1.0.16-14, configure --with-gnutls
-> error at configure time
- Debian libgnutls-dev 1.2.9-2, configure --with-gnutls
-> compiles OK
