Added the -br switch to dynamic builds which fixes the issue I saw
with curl's --version output. Added debug info and symfile for debug
builds to linker opts. Added DLL loader for wlink back, but this time
dependend on wlink version.
Patch posted to the list by malak.jiri AT gmail.com.
The var %MAKEFLAGS is only set in 3 cases: if set as environment
var or as macro definition from commandline, and either with the
-u or -ms switch. Since all these cases are unlikely for the average
user it should be safe to only test if %MAKEFLAGS is defined; this
has the benefit that now all other switches can be used again in
addition to the -u which was formerly not possible.
lib/Makefile.Watcom works fine already, for src/Makefile.Watcom we
need first to tweak src/Makefile.inc a bit - therefore the handtweaked
list still exists for now.
- make both libcurl and curl makefiles use register calling convention
(previously libcurl had stack calling convention).
- added include paths to the Watcom headers so its no longer required
to set the environment vars for this.
- added -wcd=201 to supress compiler warning about unreachable code.
- use macros for all tools, and removed dependency on GNU tools like rm.
- make ipv6 and debug builds controlable via env vars and so make them
optional instead of default.
- commented WINLDAPAPI and WINBERAPI since they broke with OW 1.8, and
it seems they're not needed (anymore?).
- added rule for hugehelp.c.cvs so that it will be created when not
already exist - this is required for building from a release tarball
since there we have no hugehelp.c.cvs, thus compilation broke.
- removed C_ARG creation from lib/Makefile.Watcom and use CFLAGS
directly as done too in src/Makefile.Watcom - this has the benefit
that we will see all active cflags and defines during compile.
- added LINK-ARG to src/Makefile.Watcom in order to better control
linker input.
- a couple of other minor makefile tweaks here and there ...
- added largefile support for Watcom builds to config-win32.h. Not yet
tested if it really works, but should since Win32 supports it.
- added loaddll stuff to speed up builds if supported.
part of the official libcurl API http://curl.haxx.se/lxr/source/lib/README.curlx
The documented way of using them would be to use timeval.c as a source code file.
The above described method works very well when statically linking libcurl and
apps, curl tool, but has several drawbacks when you build a true shared
libcurl (i.e. Name space clash at linkage stage as functions are defined more
than once. Windows makefiles are not capable of handling this system of
source-level sharing)
So...
Now curlutil.h and curlutil.c define and implement cutil_tvnow and cutil_tvdiff
which replace curlx_tvnow and curlx_tvdiff for the curl tool. Doing this we
avoid the above described problems.
