All notable changes to BSDBuild will be documented in this file. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[3.2] - 2024-03-08

Added

  • Add support for cmake. Add --output-cmake option to mkconfigure to output macros usable from cmake.
  • Make the depend target use CXX and CXXFLAGS when compiling C++.
  • Provide a built-in configure target for regenerating configure from configure.in. New make variable ${MKCONFIGURE_FLAGS} for passing arguments to mkconfigure.

  • mkconfigure: New directives: ada_option(), ada_bflag() and hdefine_if().
  • mkconfigure: New pkgconfig_module() directive for integrated pkg-config module generation. Add $PKGCONFIG_LIBDIR setting to simplify the installation of .pc modules.
  • mkconfigure: Introduce --keep-conftest configure option (preserve output test files).
  • build.prog.mk & build.lib.mk: Add support for the Ada language.
  • build.prog.mk & build.lib.mk: Add support for compiling to wasm (WebAssembly) with Emscripten (https://emscripten.org).
  • build.prog.mk & build.lib.mk: Autodetect ${LINKER_TYPE} default based on ${SRCS} file extensions.
  • build.prog.mk & build.lib.mk: Introduce ${PROG_BUNDLE}, ${LIB_BUNDLE} and gen-bundle.pl for generating platform-specific application bundles.

Removed

  • Removed build.proj.mk module. Premake is no longer maintained and project file generation can be done with cmake.

  • Removed modules md5, rmd160, sha1.
  • Removed module freesg (replaced by agar-sg).
  • Removed module freesg-rg (replaced by agar-map).

Changed

  • Updates to the manual pages.
  • Update config.guess to 2015-03-04. Add FabBSD.
  • In "install" target, create ${DESTDIR} if needed.
  • In mkconcurrent, extract and cache make target fragments directly from an installed build.*.mk so we no longer need to maintain a copy of them in the script.
  • build.lib.mk: Disable use of Libtool by default. Generate .la files even when USE_LIBTOOL=No. Handle .dylib and .dll files directly.
  • build.prog.mk & build.lib.mk: Use {LIB,PROG}_PROFILE instead of separate .po targets. Merge the "depend" from build.dep.mk. Include support for cc65 compiler.
  • mkconfigure: Make the generated config.log a runnable shell script containing all test code and compilation commands. This allows individual tests to be "replayed" easily by copy/pasting from config.log to a shell.
  • mkconfigure: Show influential environment variables in generated "--help" output. Introduce Register_env_var() directive. Use $IFS instead of sed for path traversals. Add test for $PATH_SEPARATOR. Use expr to validate --with-* and --enable-* arguments. Honor ${EXECSUFFIX} in $PATH searches. Don't invoke config.guess unnecessarily if --build is provided.
  • mkconfigure: Now exports LDFLAGS to Makefile.config.
  • Don't output Lua definitions unless --output-lua is passed to mkconfigure.
  • cc: Define HAVE_CC_GCC and HAVE_CC_CLANG.
  • libidn: Check for idn2 instead of the old idna interface.
  • png: Use libpng-config --static --libs to include any libpng dependencies in ${PNG_LIBS}.
  • pthreads: Add subtests HAVE_PTHREAD_{MUTEX,COND,}_T_POINTER to determine whether pthread_mutex_t, pthread_cond_t and pthread_t are pointer types or not. Needed for _Pure_Attribute_If_Unthreaded in agar.
  • x11: Honor --x-includes=* and --x-libraries=* configure arguments. If XKB is not found then fallback to libXf86misc.

Fixed

  • build.lib.mk: Define SONAME correctly on Haiku (and other platforms). Thanks Begasus!
  • mkconfigure: Handle string literals containing "," and ";" in directives. Thanks Chuck!
  • mkconfigure: When testing for the presence of executables, make sure they are not directories. Thanks Kristof!
  • mkconfigure: Fix the ld_option() directive. Fix quoting of arguments in config.status.
  • mkconfigure: In MkExecOutput() and MkExecOutputPfx(), always initialize MK_EXEC_FOUND to No.
  • mkconfigure: New Core functions MkLog(), MkPrintSN(), MkComment(), MkCache(), MkCleanup(), MkLogCode(), MkRun().
  • mkconfigure: New Core functions MkDisableFailed() and MkDisableNotFound().
  • mkconfigure: New Core functions MkCompileAda(), TryCompileFlagsAda() and MkCodeCMAKE().
  • db: Correctly detect db18 on FreeBSD.
  • freetype: Check with pkgconfig also. Thanks enthus1ast!
  • Don't include non-file args in "nothing to do" evaluation in bundled mkdep script.

[3.1] - 2015-07-14

Added

  • build.man.mk: Add support for the new OpenBSD mandoc. Add support for PDF and HTML format output. Introduce new target "lint".

  • x11: Added test for XKB extension (HAVE_XKB).
  • xbox: New test for xbox XDK.

Removed

  • mkconfigure: No longer include the --cache support code by default in order to make generated scripts smaller since caching is mostly advantageous on slower systems. Use CONFIG_CACHE(yes) to re-enable. Generate config.status files.
  • cxx, objc: Remove unnecessary tests for Cygwin, long long and long double.
  • sse: Remove unnecessary test code.

Changed

  • build.prog.mk: Allow ${PROG_TYPE}-dependent LDFLAGS to be defined.
  • build.lib.mk: Updated bundled libtool to 2.4.2. Use the LIB_{CURRENT,REVISION,AGE} versioning scheme.
  • build.www.mk: Multi-lingual document targets are now specified as ${HTML} elements with the .html.var extension (as opposed to .html). Write charset variants into ${CHARSETS} directory.
  • cc, cxx, objc: When cross-compiling, autodetect ${host}-cc et al.
  • opengl: On MacOS X, prefer "-framework OpenGL" to -lGL where available.
  • sdl: On MacOS X, fallback to trying -framework SDL if sdl-config fails.
  • sdl: On Windows, prefer linking to SDL.dll wherever possible.

Fixed

  • Honor ${DESTDIR}. Thanks bonsaikitten!

  • jpeg: Remove _WIN32 exception (there are workarounds the <windows.h> issue).
  • perl: Fix compiler warnings in test (due to myPerl -> my_perl).

[3.0] - 2012-08-10

  • cocoa: New test for Cocoa framework in OSX.
  • crypt: New test for crypt() function.
  • getpwnam_r: New test for getpwnam_r() function.

Changed

  • It is now possible to control conditional compilation from configure (i.e., a Makefile's ${SRCS} definition may safely reference configure-defined variables). In separate builds, the mkconcurrent script is now invoked at the very end of configure, and it now performs more extensive parsing of Makefiles as well.
  • Prevent redundant Makefile.config definitions from being produced.
  • mkconfigure: Allow use of terminating backslash to escape long line breaks in input scripts.

Changed

  • agar: Updated test for Agar 1.4.

Fixed

  • Fixed incorrect version checking in REQUIRE().

[2.5] - 2009-06-03

Added

  • Implement handling of ${DESTDIR}. It is prepended to installation targets at "make install".
  • Implemented scanning of Makefiles for those requiring .depend files (from ./configure). This eliminates the need for keeping annoying empty .depend files on source code repositories.
  • build.lib.mk: Introduce ${CONF} and ${CONFDIR}.
  • cc: New tests for compiler attributes: aligned, const, deprecated, noreturn, pure and warn_unused_result.
  • cracklib: Update test for latest version of library.

  • Added h2mandoc utility (create mandoc templates from C header files).

Changed

  • build.proj.mk: Improvements in project file generation. Avoid redundant files in project file packages. Determine the default Premake "package language" from the contents of $SRCS. Better handling of dependencies when generating project files for Code::Blocks (use the recommended global variables).
  • When scanning for executables (such as foo-config scripts), warn user if the program appears multiple times in $PATH.
  • cc: Fix unwanted behavior when multiple cc and c++ appear in $PATH.
  • iconv: Test for const-correct version of API (sets HAVE_ICONV_CONST).
