2023-03-29Auto: mirroring installation structure in build tree.Alejandro Colomar1-3/+15
This makes the build tree more organized, which is good for adding new stuff. Now, it's useful for example for adding manual pages in man3/, but it may be useful in the future for example for extending the build system to run linters (e.g., clang-tidy(1), Clang analyzer, ...) on the C source code. Previously, the build tree was quite flat, and looked like this (after `./configure && make`): $ tree -I src build build ├── Makefile ├── autoconf.data ├── autoconf.err ├── echo ├── libnxt.a ├── nxt_auto_config.h ├── nxt_version.h ├── unitd └── unitd.8 1 directory, 9 files And after this patch, it looks like this: $ tree -I src build build ├── Makefile ├── autoconf.data ├── autoconf.err ├── bin │ └── echo ├── include │ ├── nxt_auto_config.h │ └── nxt_version.h ├── lib │ ├── libnxt.a │ └── unit │ └── modules ├── sbin │ └── unitd ├── share │ └── man │ └── man8 │ └── unitd.8 └── var ├── lib │ └── unit ├── log │ └── unit └── run └── unit 17 directories, 9 files It also solves one issue introduced in 5a37171f733f ("Added default values for pathnames."). Before that commit, it was possible to run unitd from the build system (`./build/unitd`). Now, since it expects files in a very specific location, that has been broken. By having a directory structure that mirrors the installation, it's possible to trick it to believe it's installed, and run it from there: $ ./configure --prefix=./build $ make $ ./build/sbin/unitd Fixes: 5a37171f733f ("Added default values for pathnames.")

2023-03-29Renamed --libstatedir to --statedir.Alejandro Colomar1-1/+1
In BSD systems, it's usually </var/db> or some other dir under </var> that is not </var/lib>, so $statedir is a more generic name. See hier(7).

2023-01-31Added default values for pathnames.Alejandro Colomar1-14/+3
This allows one to simply run `./configure` and expect it to produce sane defaults for an install. Previously, without specifying `--prefix=...`, `make install` would simply fail, recommending to set `--prefix` or `DESTDIR`, but that recommendation was incomplete at best, since it didn't set many of the subdirs needed for a good organization. Setting `DESTDIR` was even worse, since that shouldn't even affect an installation (it is required to be transparent to the installation). /usr/local is the historic Unix standard path to use for installations from source made manually by the admin of the system. Some package managers (Homebrew, I'm looking specifically at you) have abused that path to install their things, but 1) it's not our fault that someone else incorrectly abuses that path (and they seem to be fixing it for newer archs; e.g., they started using /opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon), 2) there's no better path than /usr/local, 3) we still allow changing it for systems where this might not be the desired path (MacOS Intel with hombrew), and 4) it's _the standard_.

Especially, make(1) is likely to have problems when things have double slashes or a trailing slash, since it treats filenames as text strings. I've removed the trailing slash from the prefix, and added it to the derivate variables just after the prefix. pkg-config(1) also expects directory variables to have no trailing slash. === I also removed the code that would set variables as depending on the prefix if they didn't start with a slash, because that is a rather non-obvious behavior, and things should not always depend on prefix, but other dirs such as $(runstatedir), so if we keep a similar behavior it would be very unreliable. Better keep variables intact if set, or use the default if unset. === Print the real defaults for ./configure --help, rather than the actual values. === I used a subdirectory under the standard /var/lib for NXT_STATE, instead of a homemade "state" dir that does the same thing. === Modified the Makefile to create some dirs that weren't being created, and also remove those that weren't being removed in uninstall, probably because someone forgot to add them. === Add new options for setting the new variables, and rename some to be consistent with the standard names. Keep the old ones at configuration time for compatibility, but mark them as deprecated. Don't keep the old ones at exec time. === A summary of the default config is: Unit configuration summary: bin directory: ............. "/usr/local/bin" sbin directory: ............

2023-01-12Autodetect endianness.Andrew Clayton1-1/+1
In configure we set NXT_HAVE_LITTLE_ENDIAN for i386, amd64 and x86_64. However that misses at least AArch64 (arm64) where it's usually run in little endian mode. However none of that really matters as NXT_HAVE_LITTLE_ENDIAN isn't used anywhere. So why this patch? The only place we need to explicitly know about endianness is the nxt_websocket_header_t structure where we lay it out differently depending on endianness. This is currently done using BYTE_ORDER, LITTLE_ENDIAN and BIG_ENDIAN macros. However on at least illumos (OpenSolaris / OpenIndiana) those macros are not defined and we get compiler errors due to duplicate structure members. So let's use our own NXT_HAVE_{BIG,LITTLE}_ENDIAN macros. However it would be better to detect endianness programmatically as some architectures can run in either mode, e.g Linux used to run in big endian on PowerPC but has since switched to little endian (to match x86). This commit adds an auto/endian script (using a slightly modified version of the test program from nginx's auto script), that checks for the endianness of the platform being built on. E.g checking for endianness ... little endian The next commit will switch the nxt_websocket_header_t structure over to these new macros.
