bootstrap: don't use cmp's -s option when reading from a pipe

2009-01-01T01:15:07Z

GNU cmp exits without reading all input when given the -s option, and that can cause termination of the writing process via SIGPIPE. Instead, when reading from a pipe, just redirect output to /dev/null so that all input is read.

more portable bootstrap procedure

2008-12-13T17:00:44Z

* bootstrap (get_version): Fix portability issues in sed script. (check_versions): For buildreq apps, honor the corresponding $APP variable like $AMTAR, $AUTOCONF. (usage): Document this. (update_po_files): Honor $SHA1SUM. (main): Honor $AUTOPOINT, $ACLOCAL, $AUTOCONF, $AUTOHEADER, $AUTOMAKE, $LIBTOOLIZE.

Add better checks and docs for build tools

2008-10-22T15:31:57Z

Prompted by a report from Ed Avis: * README-hacking: Organise LZMA and Valgrind as as optional requirements rather than in their own sections. Mention bootstrap will now check tool versions. * README-prereq: Make a start on specific instructions for optaining build tools. Currently we just have notes for Fedora linux. * bootstrap.conf: Add the list of tools and versions required. * bootstrap: Add the logic to check for the required tools, and list all required tools and versions if any are missing.

bootstrap: merge from gnulib
