- openSUSE has ExtUtils::Embed, EXTERN.h and perl.so in the base perl package.
- Fedora has ExtUtils::Embed in a separate perl-devel package.
- Mageia has ExtUtils::Embed in the base perl package but EXTERN.h in a separate perl-devel package. Without this package, the compiler complains about the missing header.
- Debian has ExtUtils::Embed and EXTERN.h in the base perl package but perl.so in a separate libperl-dev package. Without this package, gcc compiles successfully but complains at link-time about -lperl (ExtUtils::Embed returns '-lperl' in ldopts but it's not actually installed).
configure.ac already requires ExtUtil::Embed to enable perl. To handle the case of Mageia and Debian, this change uses AC_TRY_LINK to verify that the flags returned by ExtUtils::Embed can actually be used to compile before deciding to enable the perl plugin.
Xtext's transparency barely worked on windows, didn't work on any modern
linux wm and used fake transparency.
This uses gtk's built in window opacity that works on more systems and
is real transparency.
Text area only transparency may return with a transition to cairo, if it
works on Windows.
These two assignments have no place here and will overwrite the
previous COMMON_LIBS="$COMMON_LIBS -lgmodule-2.0 -lgobject-2.0".
This can lead to build failure during linking stage depending on
the chosen configure options.
where the header file is located, where Hexchat expects to find
plugins so it can load them at startup and which version of
Hexchat is installed. The path where pkgconfig files are stored
is determined by a macro available in newer versions of pkgconfig
which can be overridden by the --with-pkgconfig= configure switch.
However, if this macro is unavailable (older versions of
pkgconfig) then m4ifdef will make it fallback to simply use
${libdir}/pkgconfig (which is the default).
