Drop autotools support
Finally. Once this is merged I need to triage anything remaining in the autotools label and delete it.
I did this by deleting the autotools files from git, git grep
ing for their names, and also git grep -i
ing for the following list of strings and investigating each occurrence:
Makefile
autotool
automake
autoconf
GNU make
libtool
autogen
configure
'\-\-enable\-'
'\-\-disable\'
po/Makefile.in.in
has been deliberately left in place, because it’s installed in /usr/share
because it’s copied into projects which use glib-gettextize
.
I haven’t dropped the auto*
packages from .gitlab-ci/Dockerfile
because they’re needed for building the GLib dependencies on the Android CI machine.
The changes to the --{enable,disable}-debug
configure option are non-trivial and might be worth a follow-up issue if anyone cares. I’m happy with them in their state at the head of this branch.
