The README templates were not useful since the replacement step
didn't have anything to replace: rename them.
Rather than creating template files for the config variants, create
mkconfig.h.in containg PACKAGE_* variables to be replaced, and have
config variant header files include it. Note on POSIX we don't use
this, and continue to generate a single config.h.in file.
Use config.status to convert the README.in and mkconfig.h.in files
during distribution creation.
Modify all users of VERSION to use PACKAGE_VERSION instead.
* configure.ac: Use GNU Make not GNU make as the package name.
* README.in: Use GNU Make not GNU make.
* README.git: Remove references to README.W32.template.
* .gitignore: Update for new behavior.
* Basic.mk.template: Remove unused posix_SOURCES and VERSION, and
references to unshipped mk/Posix.mk
* Makefile.am: Add src/mkconfig.h as an extra dist file.
* bootstrap.bat: Rewrite mkconfig.h.in to mkconfig.h
* maintMakefile: Remove obsolete template files; add mkconfig.h.in.
* prepare_vms.com: Rewrite mkconfig.h.in to mkconfig.h
* mk/VMS.mk: Fix incorrect header file prerequisite.
* src/mkconfig.h.in: New file containing PACKAGE variables.
* src/config.ami: Include mkconfig.h.
* src/config.h.W32: Ditto.
* src/configh.dos: Ditto.
* src/config.h-vms: Ditto.
* src/version.c: Use PACKAGE_VERSION not VERSION.
Move the source code (other than glob) into the "src" subdirectory.
Update all scripting and recommendations to support this change.
* *.c, *.h, w32/*: Move to src/
* configure.ac, Makefile.am, maintMakefile: Locate new source files.
* Basic.mk.template, mk/*: Update for new source file locations.
* NEWS, README.DOS.template: Update for new locations.
* build.template, build_w32.bat, builddos.bat: Ditto.
* po/POTFILES.in: Ditto
* tests/run_make_tests.pl, tests/scripts/features/load*: Ditto.
* make.1: Move to doc.
* mk/VMS.mk: Add support for building on VMS (hopefully).
* makefile.vms, prepare_w32.bat: Remove.
* SCOPTIONS: Update to define HAVE_CONFIG_H
Over time the non-standard build and install systems (nmake files,
smake files, Visual Studio project files, etc.) have atrophied and
maintaining them is not worth the effort, for such a simple utility
as make. Remove all the non-standard build tool support and unify
OS-specific build rules under a basic set of (GNU make) makefiles.
Preserve the existing bootstrapping scripts (for POSIX, Windows,
and MS-DOS). Also the existing VMS build scripts are left unchanged:
I don't have enough experience with VMS to venture into this area.
Perhaps one of the VMS maintainers might like to determine whether
conversion would be appropriate.
Rather than create libraries for w32 and glob (non-POSIX), simply
link the object files directly to remove the complexity.
* NEWS: Update with user-facing notes.
* Makefile.am: Clean up to use the latest automake best practices.
Build Windows code directly from the root makefile to avoid recursion.
* README.Amiga, README.DOS.template, README.W32.template: Updated.
* INSTALL: Point readers at the README.git file.
* maintMakefile: Remove obsolete files. Create Basic.mk file.
* Basic.mk.template, mk/*.mk: Create basic GNU make-based makefiles.
* build_w32.bat: Copy Basic.mk to Makefile
* configure.ac: We no longer need AM_PROG_AR.
* dosbuild.bat: Rename to builddos.bat. Incorporate configure.bat.
* Makefile.DOS.template: Remove.
* NMakefile.template, w32/subproc/NMakefile: Remove.
* SMakefile.template, glob/SMakefile, glob/SCOPTIONS, make.lnk: Remove.
* configure.bat, glob/configure.bat: Remove.
* w32/Makefile.am: Remove.
* make_msvc_net2003.sln, make_msvc_net2003.vcproj: Remove.
