This change does several things. First, it works around a quirk of the
`xgetttext` command that only recognizes description strings in even
numbered position on the command. Second, it allows descriptions
introduced by the `-d` short flag to be recognized.
More importantly, it normalizes the strings so that `xgettext` correctly
extracts them into the *.po file. Prior to this change many fish script
strings were ignored due to how they were written (e.g., single versus
double quotes).
Fixes#4073
There should be just one place that calls `setupterm()`. While refactoring
the code I also decided to not make initializing the curses subsystem a
fatal error. We now try two fallback terminal names ("ansi" and "dumb")
and if those can't be used we still end up with a usable shell.
Fixes#3850
This is normally handled by the build_documentation.sh script, but if
the tarball includes the documentation then that script is never run.
We should do it in both places as the Xcode build uses only the
build_documentation.sh script!
Fixes#2561.
make clean was outputting misleading messages due to our
recursive invocation of make in the pcre directory, even if
that directory has no Makefile. This can easily come about if
the ./configure script determines we have a system installed PCRE.
This change simply checks for the presence of the Makefile in
the PCRE directory before invoking recursive make, for the clean
and distclean targets.
Fixes#3586
This reverts commit dcb39af8c0.
It breaks building the documentation because splitting the sed invocation
in the `lexicon_filter` target from the preceding `if` block means the
`WORDBL` and `WORDBR` shell vars aren't available.
Not sure why I crammed $(v) up like that with the parens. This is
a little sed job after regretting the Makefile seeming harder to read.
Certainly better.
We want clang or gcc picked for both C++/C
Few final cleanups - time to feed it to Travis.
