NEWS: v14.9.8 ("Marsh tit savours first spring sun")

[s-mailx.git] / make.rc

#@ make.rc describes the set of used features and (default) values used etc.
#@ You should have read INSTALL first.
#@ Notes:
#@ . Choosing a predefined CONFIG= disallows further option fine-tuning.
#@   (With some exceptions, e.g., OPT_DEBUG.)
#@ . Features / options have an OPT_ prefix and need to be assigned
#@   a boolean value, as in OPT_SSL=yes.  Booleans are 1/0, y/n,
#@   true/false, yes/no and on/off (case doesn't matter).
#@   The value "require" is also a true boolean, but will in addition
#@   cause configuration to fail if the requested condition cannot be
#@   satisfied.  This value is only available for a subset of options.
#@ . Values use VAL_ instead, and are assigned strings.
#@   E.g., VAL_PREFIX=/usr/local.
#@   Variables which are only used during configuration, building,
#@   and / or installation have no prefix, e.g., DESTDIR, VERBOSE, awk.
#@ . Specifying settings on the command line will take precedence over
#@   the variables in here (correctly triggering build updates as
#@   necessary, too).
#@ . This file is parsed by the shell: it is in sh(1), not in make(1)
#@   syntax.  Evaluation occurs *after* it has been read, so command
#@   line overwrites take effect.  To use multiline values, escape the
#@   newlines on all lines but the last with a reverse solidus (back-
#@   slash), as in "LINE \".
#@   To embed a shell variable unexpanded, use two: "XY=\\${HOME}".
#@   The parsing is sequential top-to-bottom (nonetheless), so that
#@   shell snippets in a value can refer only to stuff yet defined.
#@ . You may NOT comment out anything in here -- if you want to disable
#@   a feature, set it to a false boolean.

# The user ID our small privilege-separated helper program will be

# sufficient privileges to perform a SETUID to this user ID.
VAL_PRIVSEP_USER=root

# General prefix where S-nail should be installed.
VAL_PREFIX=/usr/local

# Fine tune individual locations, normally under $VAL_PREFIX.
# . the place of the S-nail program.

# The variable $DESTDIR is prepended to all the paths from above at
# installation time; this feature can be used for, e.g., package
# building: if $VAL_PREFIX is "/usr/local", but $DESTDIR is set to "here",
# then S-nail will still think its $VAL_PREFIX is "/usr/local" whereas the
# build system will instead use "here/usr/local".
# NOTE: it cannot be set in here, but must be given on the command line
# when invoking the "install" make(1) (directly or indirectly).
# (That is, if you uncomment it, it'll be update-tracked...)

# Note that awk(1), rm(1), tr(1) and uname(1) are needed before this
# file is read, all other utilities will be checked afterwards only.
# uname(1) is in fact needed before the initial OS setup and thus no OS
# specific adjustments (e.g., $PATH) have been performed yet, but its
# use can be circumvented by setting $OS (uname -s), $OSENV (uname
# -sm) and $OSFULLSPEC (uname -a: this is not baked into the binary, it
# is only used to recognize build environment changes).
# $OS must be all-lowercase.
# Due to the evaluation order of the build system all those programs are
# usually needed, but by setting any of the variables to true(1), as in
# chown=/usr/bin/true, availability of unneeded programs can be faked.

## FEATURE SET ##

# Some operating systems only support the C/POSIX (7-bit, but eight bit
# bytes are passed through unchanged) and UTF-8 based locales, e.g.,
# Plan9, Musl based Linux variants and newer OpenBSD.  For such
# environments we can avoid a lot of tests and may enable support for
# features which would otherwise not be available.
# Note: $OS is available as normalized all-lowercase upon evaluation.

# For cross-compilation purposes it may be useful to not actually run
# systemcall etc. tests (link and run the executable) but only to
# perform the link tests necessary to detect host environment.
OPT_CROSS_BUILD=no

# Whether package system, for example pkgsrc(7) on NetBSD and more,
# OpenCSW on SunOS/Solaris, etc., specific paths shall be automatically
# included in $C_INCLUDE_PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH when seen?
OPT_USE_PKGSYS=yes

# Shall S-nail try to automatically detect a compiler and detect and
# provide a set of known-good compiler flags?  It will use $CC if this
# variable is set, otherwise a compiler is actively searched for.
# If this option is chosen additions to flags may still be provided
# by setting $EXTRA_CFLAGS and $EXTRA_LDFLAGS to whatever is desired.
# Thus: set this to false and use your normal $CC / $CFLAGS / $LDFLAGS,
# otherwise pass additional flags via $EXTRA_CFLAGS / $EXTRA_LDFLAGS:
#     $ make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-std=c99 tangerine
# Whatever you do, the configuration is fixated and updates will force
# rebuilds.  And far below in this file there is $OPT_FORCED_STACKPROT,
# too, which can be used to cause injection of stack protectors, but
# which normally happens for development and debug builds only.
# (Remember, file is parsed from top to bottom, sorry.)
OPT_AUTOCC=yes

# It is possible to compile S-nail as a "single-source", meaning that
# all source files are injected into a single compilation unit, which is
# then compiled.  This allows the compiler to perform much more
# optimizations, and also reduces the management overhead that is used
# for / needed by the linker.
OPT_AMALGAMATION=no

# Character set conversion enables reading and sending of mails in
# multiple character sets through usage of the iconv(3) library.  Please
# read the manual section "Character sets" for the complete picture.
# This should usually be enabled; it can be "require"d.
OPT_ICONV=yes

# Major switch to toggle *all* network related protocols
# (POP3,SMTP,IMAP) and related/dependent stuff (GSS-API,SSL);
# can be "require"d.
OPT_SOCKETS=yes

# If $OPT_SOCKETS: support for Secure Socket Layer (Transport Layer
# Security, TLS), i.e., encrypted socket connections; can be "require"d.
# It also automatically enables support for S/MIME message signing,
# verification, en- and decryption.
# This needs the OpenSSL (https://www.openssl.org) or LibreSSL
# (http://www.libressl.org) libraries.
OPT_SSL=yes

# We can use the P(seudo) R(andom number) G(enerator) that ships with
# the SSL library, instead of using the appropriate interface of the
# operating system we are being build on or for.
# This can be "require"d.
OPT_SSL_RANDOM="${OPT_SSL}"

# If $OPT_SSL: shall S-nail (try to) use mechanisms to support more
# digest and cipher algorithms than the few that are documented?  For
# S/MIME *smime-cipher* for example this will cause
# EVP_get_cipherbyname(3) to be tried shall the (S-nail-) built-in
# knowledge not suffice to understand the user request.  Will create
# a large statically linked binary; dynamically linked the costs only
# arise once the extended lookup is actually needed (the first time).
# Some SSL libraries will always support all algorithms.
# This can be "require"d.
OPT_SSL_ALL_ALGORITHMS=yes

# If $OPT_SOCKETS: support for SMTP protocol?
# (Directly sending mails over the network)  Can be "require"d.
OPT_SMTP=yes

# If $OPT_SOCKETS: support for POP3 protocol?
# (Download of mails via POP protocol)  Can be "require"d.
OPT_POP3=yes

# If $OPT_SOCKETS: support for IMAP protocol?
# Requires $OPT_ICONV unless $OPT_ALWAYS_UNICODE_LOCALE, in which case
#  it only warns.
# (Reading of mails directly on the server)  Can be "require"d.
OPT_IMAP=yes

# If $OPT_SOCKETS: support for GSS-API (Generic Security Services
# Application Programming Interface) based authentication, e.g.,
# Kerberos v5?  Available for IMAP and SMTP; can be "require"d.
OPT_GSSAPI=yes

# Enabling the MD5 message digest adds support for several
# authentication possibilities: POP3 (APOP), IMAP and SMTP (CRAM-MD5).
# If you don't need those, you may turn them off by excluding MD5.
OPT_MD5=yes

# If $OPT_SOCKETS: support for parsing of user and password credentials
# from the ~/.netrc file ($NETRC; see *netrc-lookup* manual entry).
OPT_NETRC=yes

# If $OPT_SOCKETS: passwords can also be looked up through an external
# "agent" in order to allow for encrypted password storage (see
# *agent-shell-lookup*).
# [Obsolete] Even though marked *v15-compat* this feature has been
# obsoleted; please use an encrypted .netrc file (via *netrc-pipe*) or
# encrypt a complete resource file and load this like, e.g.,
#     source "gpg -qd ~/.mailprivate.gpg | "
OPT_AGENT=yes

# IDNA (internationalized domain names for applications) offers users
# the possibility to use domain names in their native language, i.e., to
# use non-US-ASCII content, as in, e.g., <www.räksmörgåsa.example>,
# which the IDNA algorithm would convert to
# <www.xn--rksmrgsa-0zap8p.example>.  :)  This either needs idnkit
# (https://www.nic.ad.jp/ja/idn/idnkit/download/) or the GNU Libidn
# library (https://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/).  It can be
# "require"d.
OPT_IDNA=yes

# IMAP-style SEARCH expressions can be supported.  This addressing mode
# is available with all types of folders; for folders not located on
# IMAP servers, or for servers unable to execute the SEARCH command, the
# search is performed locally.
OPT_IMAP_SEARCH=yes

# Regular expression (re_format(7)) support for searches, conditional
# expressions etc., we use the extended ones, then; can be "require"d.
OPT_REGEX=yes

# Line editing and -history (manual "On terminal and line editor").
# . OPT_MLE
#   If ISO C (ISO/IEC 9899:1990/Amendment 1:1995) is supported on the
#   system then our built-in MLE (Mailx-Line-Editor) version can be used.
#   An enabled & available OPT_TERMCAP may affect and improve the MLE.
#   Can be "require"d.
OPT_MLE=yes
# Add support for history management.
OPT_HISTORY=yes
# Add support for `(un)?bind'ing of key sequences.
OPT_KEY_BINDINGS=yes

# Use termcap(5) for terminal control; can be "require"d.
# Today most environments ship a termcap(5) that in fact is part of
# terminfo(5), and acts as a converting wrapper for this library.
# To avoid this redundancy we also support terminfo(5), and use it
# instead if we find it (assuming that termcap(5) is a stub, then).
# Note that terminfo(5) offers access to more key sequences, e.g.,
# kLFT5, for which no termcap(5) entry exists.
# terminfo(5) support can (thus) be "require"d.
OPT_TERMCAP=yes
OPT_TERMCAP_VIA_TERMINFO=yes

# Enable the `errors' command; S-nail is a console-based application and
# thus errors may fly by pretty fast as other operations are in
# progress; or $PAGERs are started and clear errors off the screen.  If
# enabled errors are duplicated as they happen and the `errors' command
# will show them when asked to.
OPT_ERRORS=yes

# Interaction with a spam email filter is possible.
# Refer to all commands and variables with a "spam" prefix, and
# see the manual example section "Handling spam".
# . OPT_SPAM_SPAMC:
#   Support for interaction with spamassassin(1)s spamc(1).
# . [Obsolete] OPT_SPAM_SPAMD:
#   Direct communication with spamassassin(1)s spamd(1).
#   Needs unix(4) domain sockets (checked).  Can be "require"d.
# . OPT_SPAM_FILTER:
#   Generic filter hook which can be used with e.g. bogofilter(1)
#   and sylfilter(1): see documentation for the *spam-filter-**
#   variables for expected application behaviour.
OPT_SPAM_SPAMC=no
OPT_SPAM_SPAMD=no
OPT_SPAM_FILTER=yes

# We may include help strings for commands, increasing size a bit.
OPT_DOCSTRINGS=yes

# A simple line-based quoting mechanism can be made available via the
# *quote-fold* mechanism.  This will be turned off automatically if the
# required character classification is not available on the host.
# Can be "require"d.
# TODO shouldn't wrap lines when only WS or a NL-escaping \ follows
OPT_QUOTE_FOLD=yes

# We do have a very primitive HTML tagsoup filter which can be used to
# convert HTML to plain text for display purposes.  If enabled it will
# be used for all MIME types which have the @h@ or @H@ type markers
# (more on this in the manual section "The mime.types files").  And
# which do not have any user defined MIME type handler, of course.
OPT_FILTER_HTML_TAGSOUP=yes

# A simple form of coloured output can optionally be produced.
OPT_COLOUR=yes

# File dotlocking is performed for "system mailbox" (%[USER] and
# %:ANYFILE) MBOX files: when synchronizing any such FILE a FILE.lock
# file will be created in the directory of FILE, for the duration of the
# synchronization: set $OPT_DOTLOCK to support this traditional mail
# spool file locking.
# $VAL_MAIL(s) where normal system mailboxes reside are usually not
# writable by normal users, except that a user may read and write his
# own mailbox.  But this means that a program run by the user cannot
# create a .lock file!  The solution is to install a privilege-separated
# mini-program that has the sole purpose and functionality of managing
# the dotlock file in such situations -- and only then, as a last
# ressort.  With it dotlock files can be created for any mailbox for
# which the invoking user has read (or read-write) permissions, and
# under the UID and GID of the mailbox itself!  We call it -privsep.
# $OPT_DOTLOCK can be "require"d.

## PATHS AND PROGRAMS, DEVELOPMENT ##

# To ease the life of forkers and packagers "our" name can be changed.
