a7621c92ae Update SCM_CREDS for Net/Free/BSD-OS. Add configure checks. 2001-09-07 19:52:54 +00:00

e9c936ff38 Remove rangechecks on errno; just call strerror unconditionally. This
eliminates a raft of portability issues, including whether sys_nerr
exists, whether the platform has any valid negative errnos, etc.  The
downside is minimal: errno shouldn't ever contain an invalid value anyway,
and if it does, reasonably modern versions of strerror will not choke.
This rangecheck idea seemed good at the time, but it's clearly a net loss,
and I apologize to all concerned for having ever put it in.

5508ef30e2 Make checks for global variables (sys_nerr, timezone) safe against getting
optimized away completely.

dfda21e7a6 Add configure check to see whether <string.h> and <strings.h> may both be
included, and then include <strings.h> if so.  Several systems already
needed <strings.h> anyway.  Some new systems that claim to conform to the
Unix 9x "standard" do not declare str[n]casemp() in string.h, and C99
compilers will not like that.

664ce79dd8 Fixes for Cygwin, with help from Pete Forman <gsez020@kryten.bedford.waii.com>.
Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure
checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!).
Use Autoconf check for exe extension.  This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.

06cd0f1a32 Substituted new configure test for types of accept()
Interfaced a lot of the custom tests to the config.cache, in the process
made them separate macros and grouped them out into files. Made naming
adjustments.

Removed a couple of useless/unused configure tests.

Disabled C++ by default. C++ is no more special than Perl, Python, and Tcl.
And it breaks equally often. :(
