As all of the information in the Texinfo manual had been converted to
Unix manual pages some time ago, remove GNU Texinfo as a distribution
dependency. The rationale is that manual pages (roff) has more support
in various editors than Texinfo and the man utility is rather well
understood in contrast to the poor quality of the stand-alone GNU info
utility. Several utilities are available to convert the roff man pages
into various formats such as HTML and PDF.
This option is obsolete since Apple gcc 3.0, by dropping support for
gcc 2.95.x we no longer have to pass this option. By not passing this
option we sidestep an issue for Mac OS X when a GNU gcc compiler is
used to build instead Apple gcc or clang.
Astyle is a code formatting utility that can quickly reformat a source
file based on the settings of its configuration file. The added
configuration file will format to a style mostly consistent with the
Linux Kernel Style guide:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle
While conformance to this document is not the goal, it supplies a
reasonable set of guidelines to be used in Hamlib.
Use AC_CHECK_LIB macro to search for libusb rather than rely on
pkg-config. Preserve environment variables LIBUSB_CFLAGS and
LIBUSB_LIBS as user precious variables. Two features,
--with-xml-support and --enable-usrp still rely on pkg-config so only
invoke pkg-config when either or both of these features are selected.
Only the Winradio g313 model uses libdl so test for it only when
Winradio backend is enabled.
No longer depend on libltdl from the libtool package. The
winradio/linradio/wg313api backend still depends on libdl, but since it
is only compiled on POSIX, it will use the POSIX supplied libdl.
Update documentation to remove references to libltdl.
Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH for testcpp and testrig in the generated test
shell scripts corrects a long-standing bug that broke 'make check'.
Add Hamlib_design.eps to allow 'make dvi' to succeed when running
'make distcheck'.
If pkg-config is not installed, a very cryptic error occurs when
autogen.sh runs the configure script. Add a check from:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-03/msg00008.html
to check for pkg-config presence and if pkg-config is not found, a stub
macro disables any configuration of any feature relying on its presence.
Static libs are generally not wanted so disable their builds by default.
Remove references to '--disable-static' from documentation and example
scripts.
README - Add info on availability, compiling, and version.
README.betatester - Remove info relevant to developers, include 'make'
targets, add info on rigctl verbosity.
README.developer - Add note on developer Git acces via SSH,
- autogen.sh: never downgrade our bundled libltdl/ (only run libtoolize if
system version is newer than our bundled version).
- autofixer.sh: script removed as libtool 1.x is no longer allowed.
- configure.ac: (not enabled) optional setting to deprecate embedded libltdl/.
