By default we require gettext 0.19.6 as this is needed to generate a translated version of gnucash.desktop and gnucash.appdata.xml.
However this version is not available on some platforms (most notably our own ubuntu 14.04LTS travis instance).
By setting ALLOW_OLD_GETTEXT=ON, the build configuration falls back to generating untranslated versions of said files instead.
This includes removal of the now unused make-gnucash-potfiles.in,
checking for CMakeLists.txt rather than Makefile.am in gnc-vcs-info,
upating the HACKING file,
and generally updating references to autotools.
I have kept "Makefile.*" exclude patterns in our CMakeLists.txt files
because they may still be lingering in the source directory from
previous autogen.sh runs. At some point these should probably be
removed as well still, together with the gitignore references to them.
- Remove trailing semicolons. They're not needed in shell scripts
- Don't create default XDG_DATA_HOME (<HOME>/.local/share) the code
should work equally well if that directory doesn't exist and so
not creating it tests another part of the code
Currently, there is an ubuntu 14.04 and archlinux build and they both
use cmake with ninja, cmake with make, and autotools to build. It should
be straightforward to add another configuration.
Travis checks out the correct branch of the source code for us, and we
expose that source code to the docker container using a docker run
"volume".
