Prototype for X509_check_host() has changed, detect this in configure.ac ChangeLog addition: 2015-04-09 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * configure.ac: If X509_check_host() is available, check the number of arguments it takes. Don't use it if it takes any number of arguments other than five. Also don't use it if <openssl/x509v3.h> does not declare it, since if that is so there is no portable way to tell how many arguments it should take, and so we would end up smashing the stack. * configure: Regenerate. src/ChangeLog addition: 2015-04-09 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * tls.c: #include <openssl/x509v3.h> for its prototype for X509_check_host(). * tls.c (tls_open): Pass the new fifth argument to X509_check_host().

5699 a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	59 However, this depends on the presence of relevant development resources on
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	60 your system, and there are a few frequently used features that are not built
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	61 in by default. To build XEmacs incorporating such features, the steps
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	62 required are exactly as above, except that you need to start by confirming
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	63 the availability of required libraries and headers, and select them by
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	64 invoking configure with the appropriate options.

5699 a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	69 A note on terminology: unfortunately the terms "library" and "package" are
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	70 heavily overloaded. In this section, "library" refers to an external body of
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	71 executable code which may be linked with XEmacs at build time to provide
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	72 support for system features, such as images, audio, stream compression,
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	73 databases, and input methods. Libraries must be available when XEmacs is
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	74 built. A "module" is also a dynamically loadable library, but it is built
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	75 from the XEmacs sources, after the XEmacs executable is built.

5699 a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	77 We assume that your system has a GUI windowing system, specifically X11 (the
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	78 X Window System) or Microsoft Windows. XEmacs can also use various toolkits
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	79 and widget kits for X11, including Xt, GTK+/GNOME, and CDE, depending on
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	80 platform. If you don't have a window system installed, XEmacs will be built
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	81 only with terminal support. (For unreleased ports to Qt/KDE and Mac OS X,
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	82 ask on the xemacs-beta@xemacs.org mailing list.)

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	559 The `--with-gcc=PROGRAM' option specifies that the build process should
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	560 compile XEmacs using GCC. The `--with-compiler' option allows you to specify
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	561 some other compiler to be used to compile XEmacs. If neither option is
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	562 specified, the environment variable CC is used instead. Otherwise the
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	563 compiler will then default to 'cc'.

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	565 The `--with-xemacs-compiler=PROGRAM' option specifies the compiler control
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	566 program for the xemacs binary only. Other C code will be compiled according
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	567 to the `--with-gcc' and `--with-compiler' options above. This is useful if
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	568 you wish to compile XEmacs with a C++ compiler, because the utilities in

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	608 You can build XEmacs for several different machine types from a single source
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	609 directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that supports the
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	610 `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. Create separate build directories for
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	611 the different configuration types, and in each one, run the XEmacs
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	612 `configure' script. `configure' looks for the Emacs source code in the

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	620 The `--prefix=PREFIXDIR' option specifies where the installation process
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	621 should put XEmacs and its data files. This defaults to `/usr/local'.
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	622 - XEmacs (and the other utilities users run) go in PREFIXDIR/bin

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	631 The `--exec-prefix=EXECDIR' option allows you to specify a separate portion
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	632 of the directory tree for installing architecture-specific files, like
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	633 executables and utility programs. If specified,

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	637 EXECDIR/bin should be a directory that is normally in users' PATHs.

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	639 If you specify --prefix (or any of the other installation directory options),
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	640 they will get compiled into the xemacs executable so it will be able to find
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	641 its various associated files. However, XEmacs has quite elaborate logic to
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	642 find out the locations of these directories dynamically. Sometimes, it is
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	643 desirable not to compile these directories into the executable so you can
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	644 move the XEmacs installation around (as whole) at will. This is true for
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	645 binary kits, for instance. Therefore, you can specify --without-prefix on
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	646 the configure command line to prevent the installation prefix to become part
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	647 of the generated executable; everything else will continue to work as usual.

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	649 Unlike previous versions of XEmacs (21.4 or earlier),
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	650 architecture-independent files (in particular, the Lisp files and
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	651 package hierarchies) by default get installed under `/usr/local/share'
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	652 rather than `/usr/local/lib'. To create a setup as in previous
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	653 versions, use the `--datadir=/usr/local/lib' option to configure.

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	658 The `--with-rel-alloc' option can be used to either enable or disable
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	659 use of the relocating allocator. Turning on --with-rel-alloc will allow
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	660 XEmacs to return unused memory to the operating system, thereby reducing
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	661 its memory footprint. However, it may make XEmacs runs more slowly,
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	662 especially if your system's `mmap' implementation is missing or
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	663 inefficient. Generally, it's best to go with the default configuration
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	664 for your system. You can tweak this based on how you use XEmacs, and

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	667 The `--with-system-malloc' option can be used to either enable or
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	668 disable use of the system malloc. Generally, it's best to go with the
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	669 default configuration for your system. Note that on many systems
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	670 using the system malloc disables the use of the relocating allocator.

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	672 The `--with-debug-malloc' option can be used to link a special
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	673 debugging version of malloc. Debug Malloc is not included with XEmacs
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	674 and is intended for use only by the developers. It may be obtained

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	678 useful to the developers. `--with-debug' incorporates code for
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	679 performing various tests, but does not impose a speed penalty.
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	680 `--with-error-checking' adds additional tests to many of the commonly
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	681 used macros, and imposes a speed penalty. Using either or both of these
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	682 options can make bug reports more useful to the developers.

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	694 used by `./lisp/paths.el'. For example,

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1136 need both the runtime libraries and the SDK (in a sidebar of that page at the

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1147 Dynamically linking 3rd party libraries to XEmacs decreases the size of the
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1148 binary, and means you don't need to rebuild XEmacs to take advantage of
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1149 improvements in the libraries. On the other hand, XEmacs can fail subtly if
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1150 the semantics of a library changes, other users may not be able to use your
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1151 "private" copies of the libraries, and you may have to relink XEmacs, or even
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1152 omit the feature, if the ABI changes when the libraries are upgraded.

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1154 Use the `--with-site-includes' and `--with-site-libraries' options when
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1155 building XEmacs to allow configure to find the external software packages.
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1156 For your convenience these can be set together by using the
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1157 `--with-site-prefixes' option. This will set these variables as needed
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1158 assuming your libraries are organised as a typical /usr tree.

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1160 If you link dynamically with external libraries, usually denoted by ".so"
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1161 (Unix), ".dll" (Windows), or ".dylib" (MacOS) file extensions, on some
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1162 systems you may also need to add the library directories to the
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1163 `--with-site-runtime-libraries' option. It is typically necessary only if
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1164 you link with dynamic libraries that are installed in non-standard
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1165 directories, or if you expect some of the libraries used to build XEmacs to
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1166 be in a different directory at run time than at build time.
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1167
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1168 NOTE: This option has unusual semantics. ONLY libraries found in the
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1169 directories specified in this option will be used at runtime. This means you
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1170 must specify ALL directories you want searched at runtime in this option
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1171 (perhaps excluding a very small number of standard system library paths).

a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1173 Directories specified with `--with-site-libraries' are NOT automatically
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1174 added. The rationale is that most users will not need this option, and this
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1175 allows the builder to specify exactly the needed directories. Specifying
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1176 unnecessary directories leads to obscure problems (typically startup delays)
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1177 if those directories are mounted over a network, and the automounter
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1178 configuration changes. Not all systems need this option; it's best to avoid
a95c89dc9695 Reorganize and update INSTALL. Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> parents: 5384 diff changeset	1179 using it if you can.
