+ New build system, using recursive makefiles. Due to the amount of code
in VLC, this had become unavoidable.
+ Removed the check for OS X's stack size, since our automake targets are
a lot less hungry now.
+ Ditto for Solaris's sed.
+ Since automake-1.6 is faster than 1.7, use it first if both are present.
* m4/vlc.m4:
+ New AX_ADD_CPPFLAGS, AX_ADD_CFLAGS, AX_ADD_CXXFLAGS, AX_ADD_OBJCFLAGS
and AX_ADD_LDFLAGS macros that do all the magic to detect possible
modules and register their flags.
+ New AX_ADD_BUILTINS and AX_ADD_PLUGINS macros.
+ Some magic to generate vlc-config.
* configure.ac:
+ Moved most code to the AX_ADD_* macros.
+ Explicitely added all target Makefiles.
* modules/**/Modules.am:
+ Path to sources are now relative to Modules.am's directory level.
don't seem to work very well if you are using autopoint, although
gettext 0.11.5 claims to be fully backwards compatible. Welcome to
automake hell.
* ./bootstrap: workaround which uses gettextize if you do not have
autopoint. We'll probably stay like this for a while, until gettext
0.11.x (which replaces gettextize with autopoint) becomes more
widespread. Currently this workaround seems to work, but don't expect
a clean tarball if you make dist without having used autopoint. Welcome
to automake hell.
unnoticeable apart from the extra dependency on autoconf, automake and
gettextize. See the new HACKING file for some information, especially if
you don't run Linux.
The current strategy is to have the configure script generate a nice
automake Makefile from Makefile.am, and then clobber it with our good
old dirty Makefile. Muahaha :-)
