This fixes "make install" on operating systems using
a suffix for executables.
Cygwin is treated specially. The symlink names won't have
.exe suffix even though the executables themselves have.
Thanks to Charles Wilson.
Seems that in addition on Windows and DOS, also OpenBSD
lacks support for %'d style printf() format strings.
So far that is the only modern POSIX-like system I know
with this problem, but after this hack, the thousand
separator shouldn't be a problem on any system.
Maybe testing if a format string like %'d produces
reasonable output is invoking undefined behavior on some
systems, but so far all the problematic systems I've tried
just print the raw format string (e.g. %'d prints 'd).
Maybe Autoconf test would have been better, but this
hack works also for cross-compilation, and avoids
recompilation in case the system libc starts to support
the thousand separator.
like "un", "cat", and "lz" when determining if
xz is run as unxz, xzcat, lzma, unlzma, or lzcat.
This is to ensure that if xz is renamed (e.g. via
--program-transform-name), it doesn't so easily
work in wrong mode.
use AC_PROG_SED. We don't do anything fancy with sed,
so this should work OK. libtool 2.2 sets SED but 1.5
doesn't, so $(SED) happened to work when using libtool 2.2.
files as is to standard output.
This feature is needed to be more compatible with gzip's
behavior. This was more complicated to implement than it
sounds, because the way liblzma is able to return errors with
files of only a few bytes in size. xz now has its own file
type detection code and no longer uses lzma_auto_decoder().
Don't use libtool convenience libraries to avoid recently
discovered long-standing subtle but somewhat severe bugs
in libtool (at least 1.5.22 and 2.2.6 are affected). It
was found when porting XZ Utils to Windows

but the problem is significant also e.g. on GNU/Linux.
Unless --disable-shared is passed to configure, static
library built from a set of convenience libraries will
contain PIC objects. That is, while libtool builds non-PIC
objects too, only PIC objects will be used from the
convenience libraries. On 32-bit x86 (tested on mobile XP2400+),
using PIC instead of non-PIC makes the decompressor 10 % slower
with the default CFLAGS.
So while xz was linked against static liblzma by default,
it got the slower PIC objects unless --disable-shared was
used. I tend develop and benchmark with --disable-shared
due to faster build time, so I hadn't noticed the problem
in benchmarks earlier.
This commit also adds support for building Windows resources
into liblzma and executables.
--format=lzma. This means that xz emulating lzma
doesn't decompress .xz files, while before this
commit it did. The new way is slightly simpler in
code and especially in upcoming documentation.
compressing and decompressing. This should be OK now that
xz automatically scales down the compression settings if
they would exceed the memory usage limit (earlier, the limit
for compression was increased to 90 % because low limit broke
scripts that used "xz -9" on systems with low RAM).
Support spcifying the memory usage limit as a percentage
of RAM (e.g. --memory=50%).
Support --threads=0 to reset the thread limit to the default
value (number of available CPU cores). Use UINT32_MAX instead
of SIZE_MAX as the maximum in args.c. hardware.c was already
expecting uint32_t value.
Cleaned up the output of --help and --long-help.
Don't round the memory usage limit in xzdec --help to avoid
an integer overflow and to not give wrong impression that
the limit is high enough when it may not actually be.
- Don't use Windows-specific code on Windows. The old code
required at least Windows 2000. Now it should work on
Windows 98 and later, and maybe on Windows 95 too.
- Use less precision when showing estimated remaining time.
- Fix some small design issues.
the number of CPU cores. Added support for using sysinfo()
on Linux systems whose libc lacks appropriate sysconf()
support (at least dietlibc). The Autoconf macros were
split into separate files, and CPU core count detection
was moved from hardware.c to cpucores.h. The core count
isn't used for anything real for now, so a problematic
part in process.c was commented out.
Now configure.ac will get the version number directly from
src/liblzma/api/lzma/version.h. The intent is to reduce the
number of places where the version number is duplicated. In
future, support for displaying Git commit ID may be added too.
linked statically or dynamically against liblzma. The
default is still to use static liblzma, but it can now
be changed by passing --enable-dynamic to configure.
Thanks to Mike Frysinger for the original patch.
Fixed a few minor bugs in configure.ac.
