lib: Add non-content terms with a WDF value of 0.

term. It's intended to provide an indication of how frequent a term is
within a document, (for use in computing relevance). Xapian's term
generator already computes WDF values when we use that, (which we do

We don't use the term generator when adding single terms for things

notmuch new: Remove an unnecessary stat of every regular file in the mail store.

We were previousl using the stat for two reasons. One was to obtain
the mtime of the file. This usage was removed in the previous commit,
(since the mtime is unreliable in the case of a file being moved into
the mail store).

The second reason was to identify regular and directory file
types. But this information is already available in the result we get
from scandir.

What's left is simply a stat for each directory in the mailstore,
(which we are still using to compare filesystem mtime with the mtime
stored in the database).

Remove ./configure failure for unrecognized options

The Debian build process (and presumably others) passes many options
to the configure script.  Most of them are not needed for notmuch.
The configure script needs to just silently ignore the extra options
it's not using, so that the configure stage won't fail and the build
process can continue.

Makefile: Silence compiler errors during dependency generation.

We have a bootstrapping issue with our dependency generation. When the
Makefile.config doesn't exist yet, the complete compilation flags are
not yet available for passing to the compiler to generate the
dependencies.

But we don't have explicit rules to create these dependency files,
(just the implicit rule that is created by the -include), so we can't
control when make will attempt to create them.

We do have a dependency of the dependency files on Makefile.config, so
make should eventually call the compiler with the correct flags and
everything should be good. So in the meantime, silence any complaints.

15 years agoconfigure: Support the capturing of CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS at configure time.
Carl Worth [Fri, 4 Dec 2009 23:20:12 +0000 (15:20 -0800)]
configure: Support the capturing of CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS at configure time.

These variables can now be set via configure time via environment
variables like so:

CFLAGS=-g ./configure

and subsequent builds will remember these values. The values can
still be overridden at compile time by passing make variables:

      make CFLAGS=-O2

The CXXFLAGS variable is optional. If unset at either configure
time or at compile time, it will inherit its value from the
CFLAGS variable. (Though if explicitly set at configure time
it must be explicitly overriden at compile time---just overriding
CFLAGS will not override CXXFLAGS as well.)

15 years agoFix quiet compilation to print the user's CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS.

Fix quiet compilation to print the user's CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS.

The only reason I ever call "make V=1" myself, (other than when
debugging the compiler command-line for some reason), is to ensure
whether my CFLAGS, (like "-g -O0" or "-O2"), are actually making it to
the command-line.

But these are hard to find in the V=1 output, and really, we should
just print these even in the quiet case. So do that.
