Prior versions of autoconf defined _ALL_SOURCE if _AIX was defined. But,
autoconf 2.62 version of AC_AIX defines _ALL_SOURCE along with other four
preprocessor symbols no matter if the system is AIX or not. To keep the
traditional behaviour, as well as an uniform one, across autoconf versions
AC_AIX is replaced with our own internal macro.
when we have been doing this since revision 1.47 of configure.ac 4 years and
5 months ago when cross-compiling a Windows target. We actually don't use any
function from the Windows GDI (Graphics Device Interface) related with drawing
or graphics-related operations.
but it breaks aclocal execution on some systems, with the following error:
Can't locate object method "rel2abs" via package "File::Spec" at /usr/local/bin/aclocal line 256.
needed, and being able to define it if appropriate for further configure tests
as well as for the generated config file.
Introduced reentrant.m4 intended for our reentrant related autotools/m4 macros.
finds out its return type and the types of its arguments. Added definitions
for non-configure systems config files, and introduced macro sreadfrom which
will be used on udp sockets as a recvfrom() wrapper.
enough at detecting compilation errors or at least it has been properly
configured to do so. Configuration heavily depends on this capability, so
if this compiler sanity check fails the configuration process will now fail.
when function clock_gettime() is available and the monotonic timer is
also available. Otherwise, in some cases, librt or libposix4 could be used
for linking even when finally not using the clock_gettime() function due
to lack of the monotonic clock.
server input and response request files of the test harness sws server.
Reintroduce, for test # 1001, the <postcheck> small delay. The delay is
needed even with the accelerated writing of server input and response
request files in test harness sws server.

Define HAVE_GSSMIT if <gssapi/{gssapi.h,gssapi_generic.h,gssapi_krb5.h}> are
available, otherwise define HAVE_GSSHEIMDAL if <gssapi.h> is available.
Only define GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE to gss_nt_service_name if
GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE isn't declared by the gssapi headers. This should
avoid breakage in case we wrongly recognize Heimdal as MIT again.
support when curl didn't even have regular LDAP support. It looks like
this could happen when the --enable-ldaps configure switch is given but
configure couldn't find the LDAP headers or libraries.
default instead of a ca bundle. The configure script will also look for a
ca path if no ca bundle is found and no option given.
- Fixed detection of previously installed curl-ca-bundle.crt
compiled with errors. This behaviour is needed for autoconf macros which
rely on the ability to compile with or without errors, and is safer than
xlc's default of failing only upon severe errors.
get a fresh one downloaded and created with 'make ca-bundle' or you can get
one from here => http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html if you want a fresh
new one extracted from Mozilla's recent list of ca certs.
The configure option --with-ca-bundle now lets you specify what file to use
as default ca bundle for your build. If not specified, the configure script
will check a few known standard places for a global ca cert to use.
spanking new CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION simply to take advantage of the improved
performance for the upload resume cases where you want to upload the last
few bytes of a very large file. To implement this decently, I had to switch
the client code for uploading from fopen()/fread() to plain open()/read() so
that we can use lseek() to do >32bit seeks (as fseek() doesn't allow that)
on systems that offer support for that.
o It looks for the NSS database first in the environment variable SSL_DIR,
then in /etc/pki/nssdb, then it initializes with no database if neither of
those exist.
o If the NSS PKCS#11 libnspsem.so driver is available then PEM files may be
loaded, including the ca-bundle. If it is not available then only
certificates already in the NSS database are used.
o Tries to detect whether a file or nickname is being passed in so the right
thing is done
o Added a bit of code to make the output more like the OpenSSL module,
including displaying the certificate information when connecting in
verbose mode
o Improved handling of certificate errors (expired, untrusted, etc)
The libnsspem.so PKCS#11 module is currently only available in Fedora
8/rawhide. Work will be done soon to upstream it. The NSS module will work
with or without it, all that changes is the source of the certificates and
keys.
the configure script checks for openldap and friends and we link with those
libs just like we link all other third party libraries, and we no longer
dlopen() those libraries. Our private header file lib/ldap.h was renamed to
lib/curl_ldap.h due to this. I set a tag in CVS (curl-7_17_0-preldapfix)
just before this commit, just in case.
complicated work-around for 64bit HPUX compiles. We do the fix using inline
static functions to make them follow the header file properly and thus get
used fine in the test suite too etc.
to find that it crashed miserably, and this was due to some select()isms left
in the code. This was due to API restrictions in c-ares 1.3.x, but with the
upcoming c-ares 1.4.0 this is no longer the case so now libcurl runs much
better with c-ares and the multi interface with > 1024 file descriptors in
use.
by letting configure check for setmode and ifdef on HAVE_SETMODE. NOTE: non-
configure platforms that havve setmode() needs their hard-coded config.h files
fixed. I fixed the src/config-win32.h.
it fails if the macro that is being undefined is not already defined. To
make this work under all cases and be sure that at a certain point some
specific macro isn't defined we must use the following style in configure:
m4_ifdef([macro], [m4_undefine([macro])])
Check for lowercase 'bool' type at configuration stage. If not available
provide a suitable replacement with a type definition of 'unsigned char'
in setup_once.h
Move definitions of TRUE and FALSE to setup_once.h
defining HAVE_SIGNAL_H if the header is available.
Added a check in configure that tests if the sig_atomic_t type is
available, defining HAVE_SIG_ATOMIC_T if it is available. Providing
a suitable default in setup_once.h if not available.
Added a check in configure that tests if the sig_atomic_t type is
already defined as volatile, defining HAVE_SIG_ATOMIC_T_VOLATILE
if it is available and already defined as volatile.
cross-compiling) in order to detect problems with run-time libraries that
otherwise would occur when the sizeof tests for curl_off_t would run and
thus be much more confusing to users. The check of course should run after
all lib-checks are done and before any other test is used that would run an
executable built for testing-purposes.
-fvisibility=hidden on gcc >= 4.0. This reduces the size of the libcurl
binary and speeds up dynamic linking by hiding all the internal symbols from
the symbol table.
AC_CHECK_HEADERS() and the action-if-found since that action is run even if
just one of the six headers is found and I just now fell over a case with
a duplicate file name (a krb4 implementation with an err.h file).
I converted the check to manually make sure three of the headers are present
before considering them fine.
done in one single function CURL_CHECK_FUNC_GETNAMEINFO which
will only define HAVE_GETNAMEINFO if the function has been found
AND the type of its arguments has been properly been detected
