2013-09-05Document that GNU make is requiredSimon McVittie1-1/+3
In theory the Autotools build system supports any "make" implementation, but there are no regular contributors who test with BSD make, so the inevitable result is that only GNU make actually works (fd.o #48277). Apparently there's only one GNUism at the moment, which is fixable, but that means repeating ourselves a bit more. If we instead document that GNU make is required, we can simplify the Makefiles over time by using extensions like $(patsubst), leading to a less error-prone build system.

2011-02-24Allow X11 autolaunch to be disabled even if the headers/libraries are thereSimon McVittie1-1/+1
In an embedded system where the D-Bus session is a core part of the environment, like Maemo, accidentally auto-launching a second session bus (for instance for a concurrent ssh session) is a bad idea - it can lead to a "split brain" situation where half the applications in the GUI are using a different bus. In these controlled environments, it'd be useful to prevent autolaunch from ever happening. (As a side benefit, the changes to configure.in also mean that packagers can explicitly --enable-x11-autolaunch, to make sure that failure to find X will make compilation fail cleanly.)
