* Add new "make help" targetStefan Kangas2019-08-291-0/+3
| | | | | | | * GNUmakefile: Add new "help" target that shows a brief summary of common make targets. (Bug#12411) * INSTALL * etc/NEWS: Announce it.
* Distribute test cases in tarballs by defaultPaul Eggert2019-05-161-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | * INSTALL, INSTALL.REPO, admin/make-tarball.txt: Mention ‘make check’. * configure.ac: Update comment. * etc/NEWS: Say that tarballs have a test directory. * make-dist (with_tests): Default to "yes". Add an option --no-tests to make it "no".
* Default to disabling ImageMagick (Bug#33587)Paul Eggert2019-05-131-1/+3
| | | | | | | | ImageMagick has continuing stability and security problems, suggesting that 'configure' should disable it by default. See Glenn Morris's notes at: https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2018-12/msg00036.html * INSTALL, etc/NEWS, nt/INSTALL.W64: Mention this. * configure.ac (imagemagick): Default to off.
* Modernize INSTALL a bitPaul Eggert2019-05-031-16/+17
| | | | | | | | * INSTALL: Omit filesystem space estimates. These estimates were (1) wrong and (2) no longer important nowadays, as people have plenty of space. Instead, start with how to get and unpack an Emacs tarball. Don’t say "disk" as it’s often not disk nowadays. Update URLs.
* Support ./configure --with-gif=ifavailable etc.Paul Eggert2019-03-251-0/+6
| | | | | | | Suggested by Stefan Monnier in: https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2019-03/msg00789.html * INSTALL, etc/NEWS: Document this. * configure.ac: Implement this.

* --with-pop is now the default only on MS-WindowsPaul Eggert2017-10-031-2/+4
| | | | | | | Problem reported by N. Jackson (Bug#28597). This improves an earlier suggestion by Robert Pluim (Bug#28597#47). * INSTALL, configure.ac, etc/NEWS: Make --with-pop the default only on native MS-Windows.
* Prefer HTTPS to FTP and HTTP in documentationPaul Eggert2017-09-131-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs. This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party, planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down). HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone for now.
* Be more conservative in link time optimization docPaul Eggert2017-08-291-11/+7
| | | | | | | | While testing --enable-link-time-optimization with GCC 7.1.1 I ran into a serious GCC code-generation bug which makes me think that --enable-link-time-optimization should be discouraged for typical installs (Bug#28213). See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1486455
* Default to --with-mailutils if it is installedPaul Eggert2017-08-021-9/+8
| | | | | | * configure.ac (with_mailutils): Default to 'yes' if GNU Mailutils is installed. See: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-08/msg00054.html

* Port cleanup attribute to Oracle Studio 12.5Paul Eggert2017-06-131-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | * INSTALL (--with-modules): List cleanup attribute as prereq. * src/conf_post.h (__has_attribute_cleanup): Remove; no longer needed. * src/emacs-module.c (MODULE_SETJMP_1): Don’t attempt to verify (__has_attribute (cleanup)), as Oracle Studio 12.5 supports __has_attribute only inside preprocessor expressions. The C compiler should check the cleanup attribute in the next line anyway. (module_reset_handlerlist): Remove an unnecessary ‘const’ that causes Oracle Studio 12.5 to refuse to compile.
* Revert "Make --without-pop the default."Eli Zaretskii2017-03-211-2/+5

* Make --without-pop the default.Paul Eggert2017-03-211-5/+2
| | | | | | | Suggested by Angelo Graziosi in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-03/msg00431.html * configure.ac: Change the default from --with-pop to --without-pop. Adjust diagnostics to match.
* Emacs 'movemail' is now a configure-time optionPaul Eggert2017-03-171-5/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new configure option --with-mailutils lets the builder say that Emacs should assume that GNU Mailutils is installed, instead of continuing to build and install its own limited and insecure substitute for 'movemail'. * INSTALL, etc/NEWS, etc/PROBLEMS: Mention --with-mailutils. * configure.ac: Add --with-mailutils option. (with_mailutils): New variable. Do not bother configuring 'movemail' when not building it. Warn about issues relating to --with-mailutils. * doc/emacs/rmail.texi (Movemail): Mention --with-mailutils. (Movemail, Remote Mailboxes): Document port numbers in POP and IMAP URLs. * lib-src/Makefile.in (with_mailutils): New macro. (UTILITIES): Use it.

| * Modernize usage of 'macOS' in doc and commentsPaul Eggert2016-11-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Apple changed the spelling of its operating system again, to "macOS", effective with macOS 10.12 Sierra (2016-09-20). Change Emacs documentation and comments to match this. Stick with older OS spellings ("OS X", "Mac OS X") when talking about older releases where the older names are more correct.

* Default to 'configure --enable-silent-rules'Paul Eggert2015-01-111-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This greatly shortens the 'make' output, making it more readable and useful. For example, on my platform it shortens a 4125-character line "gcc -std=gnu99 -c -Demacs -I. -I. -I../lib ... emacs.c" -- a line so long that it's hard to see what's going on or where the diagnostics are -- to just "CC emacs.o". * INSTALL: Document this. * configure.ac: Add AM_SILENT_RULES([yes]).
