HIDAPI is a multi-platform library which allows an application to interface
with USB and Bluetooth HID-Class devices on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS
X. On OpenBSD (like on FreeBSD), the backend uses libusb-1.0 to communicate
directly to a USB device. This back-end will of course not work with Bluetooth
devices.
setproctitle option, reported by henning@.
- patch to enable setproctitle by default, there doesn't seem a
huge amount of point hiding it behind a config flag.
Qodem is a from-scratch clone implementation of the Qmodem
communications program made popular in the days when Bulletin Board
Systems ruled the night. Qodem emulates the dialing directory and the
terminal screen features of Qmodem over both modem and Internet
connections.

Someone clearly did not read the autoconf documentation because
using the following functions with a function declaration inside
the body will end up declaring a function inside a function.
- AC_TRY_COMPILE( [], [ int main() { return 0; } ],
- AC_LANG_PROGRAM([[]], [[int main (void) { return 0; }]])],
- AC_TRY_LINK([], [int main (void) { return 0; }],
Result:
int
main ()
{
int main (void) { return 0; }
;
return 0;
}
nested functions is a gcc extension which is not supported by
clang.

This causes tests to fail in the configure scripts resulting in
missing compile and link time flags from the builds.
This resulted in weird behaviour of several software, like gnome
hanging completely due to gtk+3 not being built properly.
This change intrudces the following fixes:
- remove int main() declaration from AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_LANG_PROGRAM, AC_TRY_LINK
as it comes with a declaration already, and people misused them
- change to use AC_LANG_SOURCE when needed in case a complete source block is specified
Most of the changes are in configure.(ac|in), however there were some cases
where autoconf is either broken or the build failed because of an autoconf
generated configure script. Everytihng else is switched to autoconf, so
the maintainers can go ahead and upstream these diffs.
There are more to come, we are continously checking the tree for these issues
and in the future the infrastructure will error if such a case is found.
