* autotools: ensure that link lines are completePatrick Ohly2012-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As mentioned by Tino Keitel on the mailing list, some libs and executables were only implicitly linked against libraries that they called directly. This happened to work by chance because these libraries ended up in the running executable anyway, due to indirect loading. To catch such problems, the "make installcheck" was extended: dpkg-shlibdeps is run, if available, and the error output is scanned for the messages which indicate that a symbol is used without linking to the right library (example output below). Had to fix quite a few _LIBADD lines to pass the test. Some exceptions are allowed: - libsmltk depends on the caller providing SySync logging support. - libneon is intentionally not linked explicitly for syncevolution.org binaries, to make resulting binaries work with GNUTLS and OpenSSL. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/syncevolution-libs/usr/lib/syncevolution/backends/syncdav.so contains an unresolvable reference to symbol icalparameter_new_from_value_string: it's probably a plugin. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: 51 other similar warnings have been skipped (use -v to see them all). ... dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol dlsym used by debian/libsyncevolution0/usr/lib/libsyncevolution.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol dlerror used by debian/libsyncevolution0/usr/lib/libsyncevolution.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol dlopen used by debian/libsyncevolution0/usr/lib/libsyncevolution.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries.
* Buteo: removed from source codePatrick Ohly2012-05-22
| | | | | Pseudo-backend (really more like a plugin for Buteo) and testing framework changes were removed because Buteo is obsolete.

* Port build system to non-recursive Automake.Krzesimir Nowak2011-08-30
All but toplevel Makefile.am are replaced with their non-recursive counterparts. The generation of configure.in was removed (and thus configure-{pre,post}.in are also removed) in favor of configure.ac and m4 macros adding backend specific configure parts. Version number is generated like in old build system. There are still many things to improve, but for now there are no immediate regressions. AUTOTOOLS-TODO contains a list of possible improvements and fixes. AUTOTOOLS-TESTING contains what was tested with current build system (configure flags, make options).
