.gitignore: Add Visual Studio directories for building Signed-off-by: Ron Koenderink <rkoenderink@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@pond.sub.org>
Make: Fix configure generated for dist-client Commit 1ec9b94 broke regeneration of configure for dist-client: it uses .tarball-version, which exists only in the tarball, not in the source tree. Generating the client's autoconf stuff into the source tree is a questionable idea anyway, as it won't run there. Generate it while building the tarball instead. Bonus: doesn't distribute a useless .dirty-stamp. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@pond.sub.org>
Drop stale comment from .gitignore Commit e597257 folded $(bld_distgen) into $(src_distgen), but neglected to update comments in .gitignore. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@pond.sub.org>
.gitignore: Ignore sandbox Missed in commit 49b2b13, v4.3.31. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@pond.sub.org>
Declare subjects instead of picking them up automatically Since subjects were added in Empire 2, we've always picked them up from .SA requests. If you mistype a subject there, you get a "is a NEW subject" warning, and incorrect subject pages. When building a pristine tree, you get bogus "is a NEW subject" warnings for all subjects. If you somehow delete the generated subjects.mk, but not the generated subject files, the build breaks. Declare subjects in Make variable subjects. Drop generated makefile subject.mk. Treat unknown topics in .SA arguments as errors. This replaces the "$subj is a NEW subject" warning. Treat subjects without member pages as errors. This replaces the "The subject $subj has been removed" warning. Safer and simpler.
Fix remaking of info subject pages We used to do all the info indexing work in info.pl: find subjects, create subjects.mk (to tell make the list of subjects), the subject pages, and TOP.t. Worked, but touching an info page triggered a full rebuild of all subject pages and TOP.t. Commit 2f14064 (v4.3.0) tried to avoid that by splitting info.pl into findsubj.pl, mksubj.pl, mktop.pl. findsubj.pl puts not just the subjects into subjects.mk, but also make rules for the subject pages, to guide their remaking. mksubj.pl creates a single subject page. mktop.pl creates TOP.t. Unfortunately, this doesn't work so well. Since subjects.mk doesn't exist in a virgin tree, we use -include. Unwanted consequence: findsubj.pl failure doesn't stop make. Moreover, the complex make machinery breaks down when info sources get removed or subjects get dropped. Go back to the old method, except keep mktop.pl separate, as that part works just fine, and use simpler make rules. mksubj.pl now creates subjects.mk and all subject pages, like info.pl did. This effectively reverts most of commit 2f14064. I'll address the excessive rebuilding of subject pages in a different way shortly.
Fix unintentionally broad patterns in .gitignore The patterns intended to match exactly weren't anchored. In particular, pattern lib make anything below src/lib/ invisible. Anchor them all.
