It had shorthand aliases to launch `./configure` and
`./configure --with-openssl`. The former hasn't worked for a long while
because of missing TLS.
Its `ca-bundle` and `ca-firefox` targets have been broken for 2.5 years
till recently. These targets also exist in `./configure` and have been
working all along.
Also:
- cmake: add support `curl-ca-bundle` and `curl-ca-firefox` targets.
- tests/testcurl.pl: drop obsolete build logic.
Closes#16094
Rework the way `tool_hugehelp.c` is included in builds.
After this patch, with `./configure` and CMake `tool_hugehelp.c` is only
compiled when building with manuals enabled. With manuals disabled this
source file is not used anymore. The method is similar to how
8a3740bc8e implemented `tool_ca_embed.c`.
`./configure` always generates it as before, otherwise the build fails.
- winbuild: rework to not need `buildconf.bat`, but automatically use
`tool_hugehelp.c` if present (e.g. when building from an official
source tarball) and enable `USE_MANUAL` accordingly.
- `buildconf.bat`: after dropping `tool_hugehelp.c` generation, the only
logic left was `cp Makefile.dist Makefile`. This allowed to launch
winbuild builds via GNU Make in a Git repo. Drop this option together
with the batch file.
- build `libcurltool` without `USE_MANUAL` macro to exclude the manual
and the dependence on the generator commands. Drop relying on
`UNITTESTS` for this purpose.
Follow-up to 96843f4ef7#16068
- `src/mkhelp.pl`: include `tool_hugehelp.h` before using `USE_MANUAL`
to have it set in `config-*.h` builds with source tarballs created
with manual but without zlib.
Closes#16081
This disambiguates the source code being tested. The output format is
the same as when testing out of a git repo, but with no description and
a long hash.
Ref: #14363Closes#14429
The documented and mandated step has been to not use buildconf but to
invoke 'autoreconf -fi' for four years already.
This change only drops buildconf from the release tarball, it remains
present in git for now.

Use these words and casing more consistently across text, comments and
one curl tool output:
AIX, ALPN, ANSI, BSD, Cygwin, Darwin, FreeBSD, GitHub, HP-UX, Linux,
macOS, MS-DOS, MSYS, MinGW, NTLM, POSIX, Solaris, UNIX, Unix, Unicode,
WINE, WebDAV, Win32, winbind, WinIDN, Windows, Windows CE, Winsock.
Mostly OS names and a few more.
Also a couple of other minor text fixups.
Closes#14360
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869

We removed support for the watcom builds files back in September
2020. This removes all remaining watcom references and ifdefs.
Closes#8287
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
This function makes a platform-specific absolute path which uses
backslashes on Windows. This form works when passing it on the
command-line, as well as if the source is on another drive.
Make testcurl.pl ignore messages pertaining to third party m4 files we don't
care nor use on a file basis policy while retaining all other warnings.
This closes temporary commit e71e226f
Autobuild submitters can use this to add some text to their
setup files to describe issues they've found with the build
or tests. This could include laying blame on test failures on
network issues or dependent libraries, explaining away compiler
warnings or providing any additional information that could be
useful to people reviewing and investigating problems with the
publicly available autobuild logs. Note that persistent test
failures that are not issues with curl itself should normally be
fixed by excluding them from the test run instead.
This is an entirely optional field that is not entered by the
user the first time a new build is created.
It seems that its time to look at some better ideas for the win32
non-configure builds; probably a prebuild target which copies
config-win32.h to curl_config.h and appends also then feature
defines like USE_ARES.
