* nt/INSTALL.W64:
* nt/INSTALL:
* INSTALL: Update the installation information, in particular the
fact that HarfBuzz is now preferred as the shaping library.
Also, update description of debuginfo and sources to match
Debian and Red Hat more accurately, and move this sad tale
from INSTALL to etc/PROBLEMS which is a better home for it.
* Makefile.in (emacs_srcdir, install-c-src):
* configure.ac (emacs_srcdir, --with-install-srcdir):
* src/epaths.in (PATH_EMACS_SOURCE):
* src/lread.c (emacs-source-directory):
Remove. All uses removed.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/find-func.el (find-function-C-source):
Do not worry about compressed C sources.
* src/lread.c: Do not include <dosname.h>.
Without this change, on typical GNU/Linux distributions
like Debian, the first button of ‘C-h f car RET’ does not work
because the source code for ‘car’ is not installed (Bug#37527).
Fix this by installing the (compressed) C source code alongside
the (compressed) Lisp source code that is already installed.
This adds about 3 MB (about 2%) to the size of the installed files
on my platform.
* Makefile.in (emacs_srcdir): New macro.
(epaths-force): Substitute PATH_EMACS_SOURCE.
(install-c-src): New rule, that installs a copy of the C source
code if emacs_srcdir says to.
(install-arch-indep): Depend on it.
* configure.ac (emacs_srcdir): New var.
Add support for --disable-install-srcdir.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/find-func.el (find-function-C-source-directory):
Look in emacs-source-directory first.
(find-function-C-source): Also look for gzipped source files.
* lisp/startup.el (normal-top-level):
Also recode emacs-source-directory.
* src/epaths.in (PATH_EMACS_SOURCE): New macro.
* src/lread.c: Include dosname.h, for IS_ABSOLUTE_FILE_NAME.
(syms_of_lread): New var emacs-source-directory.
* INSTALL, INSTALL.REPO, admin/make-tarball.txt:
Mention ‘make check’.
* configure.ac: Update comment.
* etc/NEWS: Say that tarballs have a test directory.
* make-dist (with_tests): Default to "yes".
Add an option --no-tests to make it "no".
ImageMagick has continuing stability and security problems, suggesting
that 'configure' should disable it by default. See Glenn Morris's notes
at: https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2018-12/msg00036.html
* INSTALL, etc/NEWS, nt/INSTALL.W64: Mention this.
* configure.ac (imagemagick): Default to off.
* INSTALL: Omit filesystem space estimates. These estimates
were (1) wrong and (2) no longer important nowadays, as people
have plenty of space. Instead, start with how to get and
unpack an Emacs tarball. Don’t say "disk" as it’s often not
disk nowadays. Update URLs.
Problem reported by N. Jackson (Bug#28597).
This improves an earlier suggestion by Robert Pluim (Bug#28597#47).
* INSTALL, configure.ac, etc/NEWS:
Make --with-pop the default only on native MS-Windows.
Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
While testing --enable-link-time-optimization with GCC 7.1.1
I ran into a serious GCC code-generation bug which makes me
think that --enable-link-time-optimization should be
discouraged for typical installs (Bug#28213). See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1486455
* INSTALL (--with-modules): List cleanup attribute as prereq.
* src/conf_post.h (__has_attribute_cleanup): Remove; no longer needed.
* src/emacs-module.c (MODULE_SETJMP_1): Don’t attempt to verify
(__has_attribute (cleanup)), as Oracle Studio 12.5 supports
__has_attribute only inside preprocessor expressions. The C
compiler should check the cleanup attribute in the next line anyway.
(module_reset_handlerlist): Remove an unnecessary ‘const’
that causes Oracle Studio 12.5 to refuse to compile.
The new configure option --with-mailutils lets the builder say
that Emacs should assume that GNU Mailutils is installed, instead
of continuing to build and install its own limited and insecure
substitute for 'movemail'.
* INSTALL, etc/NEWS, etc/PROBLEMS: Mention --with-mailutils.
* configure.ac: Add --with-mailutils option.
(with_mailutils): New variable.
Do not bother configuring 'movemail' when not building it.
Warn about issues relating to --with-mailutils.
* doc/emacs/rmail.texi (Movemail): Mention --with-mailutils.
(Movemail, Remote Mailboxes): Document port numbers in
POP and IMAP URLs.
* lib-src/Makefile.in (with_mailutils): New macro.
(UTILITIES): Use it.

Apple changed the spelling of its operating system again, to "macOS",
effective with macOS 10.12 Sierra (2016-09-20). Change Emacs
documentation and comments to match this. Stick with older OS
spellings ("OS X", "Mac OS X") when talking about older releases where
the older names are more correct.

However, do not fail; just issue the warnings. Add an option

Don’t treat --with-x-toolkit=no as a special case when configuring
warnings.
This greatly shortens the 'make' output, making it more readable
and useful. For example, on my platform it shortens a
4125-character line "gcc -std=gnu99 -c -Demacs -I. -I. -I../lib
... emacs.c" -- a line so long that it's hard to see what's going
on or where the diagnostics are -- to just "CC emacs.o".
* INSTALL: Document this.
* configure.ac: Add AM_SILENT_RULES([yes]).
(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY): Remove now-unnecessary initialization.
* etc/NEWS: Document this.
Fixes: bug#19501
