This was an ugly work-around for a bogus warning from gcc-3, a
long-superceded compiler. The way the macro was written caused
portablility issues (see PR 102) and other projects (gstreamer
in particular) removed it several years ago.
Thanks to Julian Ospald for bringing it to our attention.
The fundamental problem is https://sourceforge.net/p/libofx/bugs/39.
Work around it by detecting it at configure time and if present check
to see if the time in question is not daylight time. If that's the case,
determine the daylight time offset and add it back to the timestamp.
The TP translation hadn't been maintained in over 10 years and there's
no evidence of an active TP pt team. TP coordinator has marked pt as
'external' in TP configuration.
This is a workaround for MacOS X 10.11's System Integrity Protection,
aka SIP, which among other things prevents system binaries from passing
linker environment variables to children. Anything in /bin or /usr/bin
qualifies as a system binary, and that includes /bin/sh and /bin/bash.
Not being able to pass linker paths breaks all of our guile tests which
need to tell Guile where to look for the libraries being tested.
To apply the workaround one needs to first have a shell outside of /bin
and /usr/bin. Simply copying /bin/sh to your home direcory works, as
does building a suitable shell somewhere. Just pass the path to that
shell in $CONFIG_SHELL to configure and all of the shell scripts and
libtool .la files will be created with it in the shebang line and the
linker environment variables will be passed in.
In order to build GnuCash in the first place you'll also need to edit
guild to use the alternate shell.
Poaching someone else's macro name is a really dumb idea, because aclocal
looks in our macros directory only if it can't find the macro in the system
directories. Our config code doesn't work with Gnome's macro, it exports
WARN_CFLAGS rather than modifying CFLAGS directly the way ours does.
Since some LDFLAGS settings depend on corresponding CFLAGS ones,
e.g. -fPIC, unsetting only CFLAGS will cause the test-compile to
fail because of the mismatched flags.
Fix configure.ac so that ${prefix}/lib/dbd is searched for modules.
Use gnc_path_get_libdir() to check for modules in the event that
$GNC_DBD_DIR is either empty or wrong and the path compiled into libdbi
itself is invalid. This applies mostly to Mac as other OSes tend to
leave their binaries where configure installs them.
Replace the autogen-sh time configuration which doesn't really work
correctly by making a local interpreter which links whichever library
pkg-config finds.
Also makes Guile-2.0 the default by looking for it first.
