SHGetSpecialFolderPath is in Shell32.dll and the RegOpenKey (et al) and
CryptGenRandom (et al) functions are in -ladvapi32.dll. MinGW is "nice"
and brings those in automatically, but specify them explicitly for
other tool chains.
libevent/Makefile.am corrects a typo (thanks to Harlan for spotting it
once we realized make distcheck was broken when building the libevent
tearoff). The result was the include/ev*.h were not distributed nor
installed whether or not --disable-libevent-install was used. This
was introduced with the final round (3/3) of
--disable-libevent-install patch from me.
The main reason for disabling installation is if you're building
libevent as a subpackage for embedding: you want to have your main
package's "make all" build libevent, but you don't want your main
package's "make install" to install libevent.
We had to turn a couple of 32-bit size arguments into 64-bit arguments
or size_t arguments (since otherwise we would have had to do it post
2.0.x-stable, and that would be worse).
NOTE: This is not the official release until I tag it. If you see
this commit, and you decide that Libevent 2.0.8-rc is now
finalized, you might get something besides 2.0.8-rc.
Chris Davis reports that this is also necessary to fix building with
shared libraries on OSX for him. Should fix bug 2997775.
There is probably a better fix for the issues solved by commit
3cbca8661f, but for now, we're trying to get a beta out the door.
It turns out that commit 3cbca8661f broke building with shared
libraries on OSX. Since -no-undefined is only necessary on platforms
like win32, only use it there.
There may be a better fix for this. Should fix bug 2997775.
It would be great to have the manpages come back some time, perhaps
from a refactoring of my asciidoc book, but for now the existing
manpages were the single worst, most incomplete, and most misleading
libevent documentation we had. (Less misleading: the doxygen output,
the header files, and my reference book.)
If you tried to build with automake-1.6 or earlier, we would
previously spit out pages and pages of garbage output. Now, automake
should just say "Hey, I'm not new enough for this."
AC_LIBOBJ is really only meant for defining missing library functions,
not conditional code compilation. Sticking our conditionally compiled
modules in SYS_SRC should make stuff easier to maintain.
