Zdenek Kabelac	a0437225aa	makefiles: avoid piping ... Addressing problem for user of system without default bash shell. As reported "set -o pipefail" is a bashism that causes the build to fail when /bin/sh does not point to bash. For example, this has been observed causing build failures on Gentoo when /bin/sh is symlinked to /bin/dash. Rule has been reworked and we started to use .DELETE_ON_ERROR to ensure that with any errors during file generation, such invalid file is automatically removed. Rules were reworked to avoid using pipe and instead use temporary files when necessary. Printing lines with echo was replaced with POSIX recomended 'printf' as proposed by reporter since handling of escape characters and the "-n" flag for "echo" aren't portable across shells. Also some build deps has been added.

Alasdair G Kergon	396377bc03	pre-release ... Removing some unused new lines and changing some incorrect "can't release until this is fixed" comments. Rename license.txt to make it clear its merely an included file, not itself a licence.	2017-03-28 16:11:35 +01:00
