Considering that pnglibconf is a whole mini-system for configuring and
building libpng, it should be placed in its own dedicated subdirectory.
Any future additions, including tests and documentation, should go into
this subdirectory.
One exception: pnglibconf.h.prebuilt is moved to the top-level source
directory, where pnglibconf.h would be. This follows the organization
pattern typically used with the "*.in" files, for example.
All references to the pnglibconf artifacts, found in machine-readable
code and in human-readable comments, are updated accordingly.
Add scripts/makefile.c89 and refactor scripts/makefile.emcc,
scripts/makefile.clang and scripts/makefile.gcc
Refactor variable definitions inside scripts/makefile.clang,
scripts/makefile.gcc and scripts/makefile.emcc, and start using
the option `-pedantic-errors` unconditionally. This option was
first implemented in GCC version 3.1, and it was available in
Clang and in other Clang-based compilers (e.g. Emscripten) from
the beginning.
Add scripts/makefile.c89, derived from the above makefiles, but
with `-pedantic-errors -std=c89`. We aren't enabling the C89 level
by default, to avoid any incompatibility, whether intentional or
accidental, with the compiler's default language level. However,
we are still continuing to support C89 in the 'libpng16' branch,
and this special makefile can be used for testing purposes.
Remove all makefiles that used to serve specific Unix and Unix-ish
operating systems. We still retain the generic Unix makefile.std,
as well as the compiler-specific (Unix and non-Unix) makefiles and
scripts.
Update scripts/README.md and manuals/libpng-install.txt accordingly.
Split AR_RC into AR and ARFLAGS. The variables AR and ARFLAGS are
de-facto standards (like CC and CFLAGS, LD and LDFLAGS, etc.) that
may be overridden when running make. Moreover, configuring CC, LD,
AR, etc., to point to a cross-platform compiler, linker, librarian,
etc., is a de-facto standard practice as well.
Also remove the MKDIR_P variable definitions from all makefiles.
They've been leftovers from the removal of the "install*" targets.
Fix the legacy makefile builds on ARM, MIPS and PowerPC, where
hardware-optimized compilation was enabled by default in the generic
source files, but without including the machine-specific source files.
Delete scripts/makefile.linux-opt.
Considering that "-Wextra" is a more descriptive alternative to "-W",
and that "-Wundef" is a highly useful warning option that has been
available in ancient versions of gcc (version 2.x), we replace all
occurrences of "-W -Wall" with "-Wall -Wextra -Wundef".
Also clean up the makefiles.
Delete variables (ALIGN, ARCH, DOCS) and targets (writelock) that are
no longer necessary.
Reorder the object file lists alphabetically, consistently across all
makefiles and build scripts.
Apply other minor fixes.
