calling uname in a configure script is entirely bogus, as it will return
wrong results in crosscompilation scenarios. the only sensible way to
detect the target platform's peculiarities is to test the preprocessor
for macros defining the target.
it turns out that those macros are not portable at all. rather than
adding workarounds to make it work for every single platform, just
use plain s6_addr instead.
unlike one would expect, setting `CC?=gcc -m32` in config.mak did not actually
lead to `gcc -m32` being used as compiler when running make, even though CC
was not declared anywhere else.
it appears as if the CC variable is implicitly defined by GNU make, so using
the ?= assignment (meaning "assign only if not already assigned") did not have
an effect.
when this configure script and Makefile here were written, they were modeled
after the interface provided by GNU autoconf (so there are no surprises for the
user). the assumption was that environment variables passed during configure
are usually stored and used for the compile, but can be overridden when running
make by exporting the variables again.
in reality though they can not be overridden by environment when running make,
as tests showed.
because of that, the other user-supplied variables will now be hard-assigned as
well.
closes#152
commit message by @rofl0r.
we temporarily store all buildsystem-set conditionals into
OUR_CPPFLAGS and write it into config.mak as an addition to eventually
user-supplied CPPFLAGS. this should prevent crucial things we set from
being overwritten by a user that has CPPFLAGS exported.
fixes#142
apparently mktemp on OSX 10.9.5 requires a parameter.
instead of playing whack-a-mole with apple we now use the portable
code from musl's configure script which should work everywhere.
adresses #142
this should fix the build of the recently added ipv6 code on MacOS X,
OpenBSD and eventually FreeBSD.
