We want to use the same libtool style .so versions in both build systems,
ideally both systems should read the version information from the same
configuration file.
This commit introduces an so.version configuration file and sets up
the autotools to use it.
The version numbers in so.version define the ABI compatibility and should be
updated prior to each release.
implements #323
The spec file gets processed by configure, the version will be filled
in automatically.
To generate an rpm make sure to install rpm-build, then "configure" as you
would usually do, run "make dist", then process the generated tarball
with rpmbuild:
rpmbuild -tb tox-0.0.0.tar.gz
Tested on Fedora 22.
This update makes sure that the build still works with automake prior to
1.12 and at the same time does not give any warnings or errors with
automake 1.14
supported options:
--with-dependency-search=DIR will tell configure to look for various
dependencies in DIR/include and DIR/lib
Alternatively you can also specify libsodium header and libs location
with --with-libsodium-headers and --with-libsodium-libs if it is
installed elsewhere.
Ncurses and libconfig are handled via the default pkg-config way, see
./configure --help=short for detailed information.
The tox library is compiled as libtoxcore in shared and static variants,
public headers are installed to ${prefix}/include/tox
A pkg-config libtoxcore.pc configuration file is provided.
Use ./configure --help for a full list of configure options or
./configure --help=short for the options that I added.
To generate the configure script after pulling from git use:
autoreconf -i
To generate a release tarball use:
make dist
Unit tests are handled by the libcheck library integration that is provided
by autotools, use:
make check
to compile and run the tests.
Unit tests are currently optional, i.e. - if the check library is not
found on the system, then tests will be disabled. Same goes for nTox and
DHT bootstrap daemon - they will be enabled or disabled depending on the
availability of ncurses (for nTox) or libconfig (for DHT bootstrap
daemon).
The above can be also tuned by:
--enable-tests / --disable-tests
--enable-ntox / --disable-ntox
--enable-dht-bootstrap-daemon / --disable-dht-bootstrap-daemon
