With Autoconf 2.60a, the default values of datadir, infodir, and
mandir refer to ${datarootdir}. If Makefile.config.in does not define
datarootdir, Autoconf detects this and expands ${datarootdir} when it
substitutes expressions like @datadir@, but it also outputs the
following warning:
config.status: creating Makefile.config
config.status: WARNING: /home/Kalle/src/elinks/Makefile.config.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
According to a comment in config.status, "This hack should be removed
a few years after 2.60." So it seems best to prepare for that now by
defining datarootdir = @datarootdir@ in Makefile.config.in. Earlier
versions of Autoconf may leave that line unexpanded; but because the
makefiles do not directly refer to ${datarootdir}, there's no harm.
(cherry picked from commit 388b1b0efd)
The build ID now includes both last tagged version, commit generation
since last tagged version, as well as the leading characters of the
commit ID and a flag for dirty working tree.
$(AM_CFLAGS) is one of the variables set by Automake, which ELinks no
longer uses. $(CPPFLAGS) should be used whenever the C preprocessor
is run, according to the GNU Coding Standards. (My build environment
does have an important -I option there.)

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.
SEE is David Leonard's Simple Ecmascript Engine. The SEE scripting backend
is very raw and not tested very much. The idea was to see what kind of
creature SEE is (and contradict pasky's aired opinion that no new features
are added anymore ;).
echo 'function goto_url() { return 'localhost'; }' > ~/.elinks/hooks.js
and get local for maximum security ...
FYI: SEE is smaller than Spidermonkey but doesn't have the same kind of
data-driven interface, although it looks like it is possible to build that.
- Use the mkinstalldirs in $(top_srcdir)/config
- Fix buggy scripting of srcdir which broke the local gettext install
- Add the local uninstall stuff so we have it around
Finally, we are able to identify the builds more accurately. Now we check
if commit-id (cogito tool) is available and pass the output to vernum.c
compilation which then exports it as a build_id string.
The first line of --version is now a bit long, we should probably move the
build date to a second indented line or something.
All objects defining $(OBJS) will get them and *.a deleted during
make clean.
The all, clean and install rules now implicitly imply their -recursive
counterparts - those will just do nothing in case of $(SUBDIRS) not
defined, so that's ok.
The root makefile is converted as well as some leaf Makefiles. This
also brings in the required infrastructure and adjusts configure.in
appropriately.
I converted only makefiles containing no configurable stuff, since
that'll require more consideration yet.
