The AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11 macro is found in the autoconf-archive
package. If this is not installed, invoking the macro spits out an
error message that makes it look like a syntax error. This wraps it
in a check.
This is needed so that the C++ bindings, the header for which
references "libsigrok/libsigrok.h", can have a valid include
directory passed to build them before the headers are installed.
The FDTI library changed version, module name and also soname, so add an option to detect it
when the 0.x version is not found. The 1.x API is compatible enough for libsigrok to build.
This driver is neither working nor has it been in a compiling state for
a long time, so unhook it from the build until it is fixed and works.
The files (api.c and protocol.[ch]) are still in git, but won't end up in
released tarballs and they don't get built (neither git nor tarballs).
This also allows us to drop the otherwise unneeded dependency on libudev.
When the MSO-19 driver comes back, it should be in a form that doesn't
require the inherently Linux-only libudev anyway. See also:
http://sigrok.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65
This driver has been unmaintained for years, and was never good code
to begin with. It's also questionable whether it was ever useful,
particularly with the demo driver now supporting various analog
signalling.
Instead of >= 44 Makefile.am's we now only have one top-level
Makefile.am, and use the 'subdir-objects' automake option to
handle the build via non-recursive (auto)make.
This has the advantage of fewer (boilerplate or other) files and less
clutter in general, as well as performance advantages since the new
setup can build many files in parallel (with 'make -j'), not only 2 or 3
files within the same (e.g. hardware/xxxx/* subdirectory) and also since
we no longer need to build intermediate libtool helper libs per subdirectory.
A quick, non-scientific test build on a quad-core laptop with 'make -j 4'
yields a build time reduction from 35s to 19s.
All autotools features that worked before are still intact without any
regressions, including the Make targets 'install', 'uninstall', 'check',
'dist', 'clean', 'distclean' and so on, as well as all the usual portability
handling (build works on any OS, with any Make implementation such as
GNU Make or BSD Make, with any shell such as sh/ksh/zsh/bash/dash, etc. etc.)
and features such as out-of-tree build support, cross-compile support,
testsuite support (also with colored output), "silent make rules", etc. etc.
