Add TODO list for m4, autoconf, automake and libtool.
Building our own versions would remove burden from the users
who have older versions on their distributions, and are not
ready/able/allowed to upgrade.
The "Build shared libraries" config option is dependant on the type of
"Target OS".
Moving this options to the "Target OS" sub-menu is also better in the user
perspective: he/she no longer needs to go back and forth to see if he/she
missed any option.
ltrace, in the debug sub-menu, selects libelf, in the tools sub-menu.
Inverse the order of the two sub-menus, so that the user does not have
to go back and forth between the two sub-menus.
Move the companion libraries sub-menu down the main menu.
That way, the user does not need to go back and forth in the menu
to change options set by the different components that select the
companion libraries (binutils, gcc, gdb).
Add the WRAPPER_NEEDED silent config option, that can be selected by
components that require it (companion libs so far).
Rely on this config option when deciding to install the wrapper,
instead of checking GMP/MPFR or PPL/CLoog/MPC.
Add an initial wrapper:
- find the realpath of the tool being called
- add the '.' in front of the tool name
- add the '/lib' dir to the base dir of the tool
- set and export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- execve the real tool
Downoading a non-existing file from sourceforge gives you a "200 OK"
and an index.html. As we try to retrieve a .tar.bz2 first, and duma
is bundled in a .tar.gz, we won't get appropriate content, so
just force the extension to avoid the problem.
Thanks to Ingmar Schraub <is@eseco.de> for pointing out the issue.
During the conversion to using bash arrays, the glibc build script
was improperly converted, and contains an incorrect variable
assignment to the config_options array.
For every components where it makes sense, use bash arrays (instead
of a string with space-separated values) to store the options pased
to ./configure.
Rewrite part of the code to better match the rest.
Most notably, rewrite handling of:
if [ ... ] && [ ... ]
to:
if [ ... -a ... ]
This has the positive side effect of calling "[" only once, although
"[" is probably a shell built-in.
To test for existing files, use "[ -f blabla ]", not "[ -a blabla ]"
Checking for a file exsitence with "-a" is a bashism.
Althoug we _are_ using bash, it's disturbing as it can be misread as
the 'and' operator. Fix by using "-f".
