Now fish shell stores version is a small file called by other files.
This means that a slight change which modifies one file won't cause
many of files to recompile.
The compilation unit is intentionally small, this is by design. The
smaller it is, the faster it will recompile, and it will be compiled
a lot.
Removes some unused variables and out-of-date references.
Wraps some tests in quotes to avoid expansion errors.
Removes the fish.spec generated file as it is out of date and is
arguably better maintained by downstream packagers.
See http://github.com/zanchey/fish-build/ for a better RPM spec file.
- expunge LIBS_COMMON, it doesn't get used anywhere
- don't reset LIBS to empty
- move the gettext test as every binary depends on it
- only include one set of libraries
This commit hooks the Makefile up to generate a FISH_BUILD_VERSION
symbol and kills off PACKAGE_VERSION in .cpp files.
It also modifies the tarball generation script to add the necessary
version file for releases.
The compiled-in path to bin dir was not correct; it made the
common assumption that `$(prefix)` == `$(prefix)/bin` which is
usually true, but not in all cases.
1. [machine specific files](http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html#index-exec_005fprefix)
should use `$(exec_prefix)` (`@exec_prefix@` in Makefile.in)
instead of the usual `$(prefix)`.
2. [executable programs](http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html#index-bindir)
should use the more-specific `$(bindir)` (`@bindir@` in Makefile.in)
instead of assuming `$(exec_prefix)/bin` as this allows the
executable install location to be changed with the
`--bindir=_foo_` option to `./configure`.
Fortunately, the makefile is mostly correct and *installs* the
executable in the correct location. The problem shows up later
such as during tab-completion, when fish_pager is run - the
compiled-in path it uses was the incorrect `$(prefix)/bin`
resulting in an "Unknown command" error, which only required
this small fix.
