This simply calls the install target in the build directory. IMHO I
think it's looking a bit hacky having a separate Makefile target to do
this rather than using the usual CMake workflow but mine is not to
reason why... [Also, I've copied ``cd build && make ...`` although I'm
sure ``$MAKE -C build/ ...`` is probably the Right Thing (TM).]
Note that you'll have to set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX on the cmake command
line to change where this installs to.
Now it checks for the existance of curl after
failing to find wget.
Note that I ended up removing the quotes around $url
when referencing it in the call to wget, since urls can't have spaces
anyways, and the correct quoting was messy.
To test, I did
rm -r .deps
make clean
make cmake
make
And it worked.
CMake ships with a standard FindThreads module which can be used to a)
test for a threading library and b) confirm that it is pthread. It also
allows the hard-coding of the threading library name to be removed from
``src/CMakeLists.txt``.
Make it an error not to have a pthread library installed and indicate to
CMake that we strongly prefer pthread to any other platform threading
library.
cproto (http://invisible-island.net/cproto/) was used to do the bulk of
the work in batch; even the most recent version had some issues with
typedef'd parameters; a quick "patch" was to modify `lex.l` to
explicitly include all vim typedefs as known types. One example from
`vim.h` is
typedef unsigned char char_u;
which was added in `lex.l` as
<INITIAL>char_u { save_text_offset(); return T_CHAR; }
Even with these changes there were some problems:
* Two files (`mbyte.c` and `os_unix.c`) were not cleanly converted.
* Any function with the `UNUSED` macro in its parameter list was not converted.
Rather than spend more time fixing the automated approach, the two files
`mbyte.c` and `os_unix.c` were converted by hand.
The `UNUSED` macros were compiler specific, and the alternative, generic
version would require a different syntax, so in order to simplify the
conversion all uses of `UNUSED` were stripped, and then the sources were
run back through cproto. It is planned to reconsider each use of
`UNUSED` manually using a new macro definition.
Add a brief README on the purpose of the third-party directory and some
suggestions for how to manage it. The neovim bigwigs may want to
re-draft the README.
