The test uses an erroneous non-directive within #ifdef _WIN32 to
signal that _WIN32 is defined. Some compilers choke on this even when
_WIN32 isn't defined. Observed with FreeBSD 4.10's gcc 2.95.4.
Broken in commit c02468fd, v4.3.22. Standaline client build already
broken in commit 774b590f, v4.3.17.
Use an unmatched brace instead.
Checking Windows libraries with autoconf is cumbersome, because
linking often fails unless you include the header, and AC_SEARCH_LIBS
doesn't permit that.
Just detect the Windows API instead, with new MY_WINDOWS_API.
and Autoconf macros that come with Automake. It supports multiple
separate builds of the same source tree, and updates dependencies
automatically. Targets info, html, install, install-html, uninstall
and dist are not yet implemented.
System configuration is now automatic. Previously, you had to choose
one of several canned system configurations, defined in Make.sysdefs.
Currently, system configuration always uses UCONTEXT for LWP, and
chooses LWP only if its requirements are met.
Feature configuration changed: instead of editing build.conf (further
processed by doconfig), you pass arguments to configure. Note that
build.conf settings that can be overridden in econfig have no
configure equivalent; just edit econfig instead.
Because generated headers complicate makefiles, fold gamesdef.h into
its users: path.c and ipglob.c become path.c.in and ipglob.c.in,
constants.c, vers.c, options.h simply hardcode defaults (most of them
are run-time configurable).
Call the client empire instead of emp_client. This matches what the
old standalone build did.
