Since gcc 5, the processor output can get split up on multiple lines
that made the configure script fail to figure out values from
definitions. The fix is to use cpp -P, and this fix now first checks if
cpp -P is necessary and then if cpp -P works before it uses that to
extract defined values.
Fixes#719
- Warn if --with-ca-bundle file does not exist.
- Warn if --with-ca-path directory does not contain certificates.
- Improve help messages for both.
Example configure output:
ca cert bundle: /some/file (warning: certs not found)
ca cert path: /some/dir (warning: certs not found)

When trying to verify a peer without having any root CA certificates
set, this makes libcurl use the TLS library's built in default as
fallback.
Closes#569
- Allow the user to use PKG_CONFIG but not PKGCONFIG.
Background:
Last week in 14d5a86 a change was made to allow the user to set the
PKGCONFIG variable. Today in 72d99f2 I supplemented that to allow the
more common PKG_CONFIG as an alternative if PKGCONFIG is not set.
Neither of those changes worked as expected because PKGCONFIG is
occasionally reset in configure and by the CURL_CHECK_PKGCONFIG macro.
Instead in this commit I take the approach that the user may set
PKG_CONFIG only.
- If mingw ssl make sure -lgdi32 comes after ssl libs
- Allow PKG_CONFIG to set pkg-config location and options

This option disables any attempts in configure to create dependency on
stuff requiring linking to librt.so and libpthread.so, in this case this
means clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &mt).
We were in need to build curl which doesn't link libpthread.so to avoid
the following bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16628.
The missing file has not been autogenerated because a temporary fix was
employed in acinclude.m4 which blocked update. Removed that fix and a recent
version of missing is copied to build root.
SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations by default (and if given non-Null
parameters) searches the CAfile first and falls back to CApath. This
allows for CAfile to be a basis (e.g. installed by the package manager)
and CApath to be a user configured directory.
This wasn't reflected by the previous configure constraint which this
patch fixes.
Bug: https://github.com/bagder/curl/pull/139
The commit 7b074a460b to CURL_CHECK_CA_BUNDLE in 7.31 (don't check
for paths when cross-compiling) causes --without-ca-path to no longer
works when cross-compiling, since ca and capath only ever get set to
"no" when not cross-compiling, I attach a patch that works for me. Also
in the cross-compilation case, no ca-path seems to be a better default
(IMVHO) than empty ca-path.

1 - We don't use the results from the test and we never did. recvfrom()
is only used by the TFTP code and it has not caused any problems.
2 - the CURL_CHECK_FUNC_RECVFROM function is extremely slow
When cross-compiling, CURL_CHECK_PKGCONFIG was checking for the cross
pkg-config using ${host}-pkg-config.
The gold standard for doing this correctly is pkg-config's own macro,
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG. However, on the assumption that you have a good
reason not to use that directly (reduced dependencies for maintainer
builds?), the behaviour of cURL's version should at least match.
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG uses AC_PATH_TOOL, which ultimately ends up trying
${host_alias}-pkg-config; this is not quite the same as what cURL does,
and may differ because ${host} has been run through config.sub. For
instance, when cross-building to the armhf architecture on Ubuntu,
${host_alias} is arm-linux-gnueabihf while ${host} is
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf. This may also have been the cause of the
problem reported at http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2012-04/0224.html.
AC_PATH_TOOL is significantly simpler than cURL's current code, and
dates back to well before the current minimum of Autoconf 2.57, so let's
use it instead.
AIX sys/poll.h header file defines 'events' and 'revents' as C
preprocessor macros. Usage of these literals in libcurl's external
API was introduced in commit de24d7bd4c causing AIX build failures.
Appropriate inclusion of sys/poll.h by libcurl's external interface
fixes AIX build and usage issues while avoiding a SONAME bump.
When using Sun C compiler the preprocessor somehow inserts an extra space
in front of replaced symbol, breaking CURL_CHECK_DEF macro. To workaround
this, macro CURL_CHECK_DEF now ignores all leading whitespace in front of
symbol substitution result.
recvfrom in bionic (the android libc) deviates from POSIX and uses a
const in the 5th argument ("const struct sockaddr *") so the check now
tests for that as well.
When curl calls a function from that library then it needs to
explicitly link to the library instead of piggybacking on
libcurl's own dependency. Without this, GNU ld with the
--no-add-needed flag fails when linking (which Fedora now does
by default).

being properly detected under certain circumstances. It had been caused by
strange behavior of pkg-config when handling PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR. pkg-config
distinguishes among empty and non-existent environment variable in that case.
when cross-compiling. The key to success is then you properly setup
PKG_CONFIG_PATH before invoking configure.
I also improved how NSS is detected by trying nss-config if pkg-config isn't
present, and as a last resort just use the lib name and force the user to
setup the LIBS/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS etc properly. The previous last resort would
add a range of various libs that would almost never be quite correct.
