The AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX* macros that were embedded in aclocal.m4
have been replaced with the versions found in the autoconf-archive
package from Debian 9.
When libusb-1.0 is not found, libusb-0.1 will be tried. On BeOS and
OS2, nothing should have changed in terms of detection of USB support.
On all systems the --enable-libusb* flags are now ignored. Instead, the
--with-usb and --without-usb flags now control support. When neither is
given USB support will be enable if possible and disabled otherwise. If
--with-usb is requested but not possible, ./configure will fail. There
is no support to prefer libusb-0.1 over libusb-1.0.
This ought to get rid of the last empty compilation unit warnings. This
merges libfelib.la with liblib.la. The former was always used together
with the latter. The latter was only ever used without the former when
linking backends and tools.
Tools might want to use the getopt functions, backends might just want
to use MD5.
The distclean target should only remove files that make creates. If
there are any that need taking care of, they should be added in on a
per file basis in the Makefile.am that creates it.
Several variables are considered "user variables" by the GNU Standards.
This means that the user can pass these to their ./configure and make
invocations as they see fit. These variables include CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS
and LDFLAGS.
This changeset pushes our use of these variables to the automake shadow
variables, AM_CPPFLAGS, AM_CFLAGS and AM_LDFLAGS, so that user variables
will no longer clobber flags required in order to build.
The AC_SUBST and PKG_CHECK_MODULE invocations in configure.ac as well as
acinclude.m4 are sufficient to trigger automake to insert initialization
logic for the variables these introduce. There is no need to do this by
hand. Wherever these values are needed, it is better to use a variable.
This allows for one-off overrides on the make command-line (without the
need to run ./configure) for one thing.
Some parts of SANE used __FUNCTION__ while other parts used __func__.
Now, __func__ is used consistently throughout the SANE sources. This
fixes all occurrences of the following GCC warning:
warning: ISO C does not support '__FUNCTION__' predefined identifier
This fixes test failures for release tarballs (pointed out by Mike
Frysinger), clamps down on wildcards and prints a failure message
when a test does not succeed.
