Backwards-compatibility for libstdc++ is not limited to straightforward abi
changes. Symbol visibility also needs to be taken into consideration, and
that really can't be addressed simply.
Instead, just static-link libstdc++ for backwards-compat.
This is really a packager's option. While it's helpful to encourage devs to
test this option for daily builds, it's not reliable in several real-world
use-cases. Some older libstdc++ runtimes (freebsd 9, debian wheezy, for
example) fail to properly catch exceptions due to mismatched type_info.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19664 for more info.
2ecd294 Bugfix: configure: Correctly detect "nothing to build" condition (Luke Dashjr)
b7a4ecc Bugfix: Only check for boost when building code that requires it (Luke Dashjr)
a19eeac Bugfix: configure: Check for openssl/ec.h (Luke Dashjr)
fe925e2 Use EXTRA_LIBRARIES instead of noinst_LIBRARIES so we can avoid building unused code (Cory Fields)
Similar to the INCLUDES changes in 6b099402b4, split out LIBS into individual
entries for more fine-grained control.
Also add MINIUPNPC_LIBS which was missing before, and hook it up to
executables.
Qt5 is bottled, so configure won't find it without some help. Use
brew to find out its prefix.
Also, qt5 added the host_bins variable to pkg-config, use it.
Windows needed a few fixups to get the tests running:
1. bitcoin-tx needs a file extension in Windows. Take this opportunity to
add an env file, which pulls variables out of our build config. This can
be extended as needed, for now it's very simple.
2. After #1, split the args out of the exec key in the test data.
3. Correct the line-endings from windows stdout
b144a74 depends: bump miniupnpc to 1.9.20140701. (Cory Fields)
f628127 depends: bump openssl to 1.0.1i (Cory Fields)
9f7f504 build: add -DMINIUPNP_STATICLIB for new version (Cory Fields)
It's only confusing people into thinking that they should mess with
boost versions, which should not be necessary to get bitcoind to work.
If there is a bug in the build system with autodetecting boost it needs
to be solved not worked around.
libminiupnpc changed their required static define to the much more sane
"MINIUPNP_STATICLIB". Sadly, they don't respect the old "STATICLIB" for
back-compat. Define them both since the old one didn't seem to be conflicting
anywhere.
Also go ahead and split out the cppflags so that they can be applied only where
they're needed. This will help us to build dll's from our libs without having
their import/export declspecs poisoned.
When using clang and ccache, builds spew lots of:
Clang: warning: argument unused during compilation
Upstream bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8118
This is harmless, bug annoying. If ccache is being used and the
-Qunused-arguments flag is supported (clang), use it.
This was committed previously as 4975ae172 and reverted, because the flags were
applied even if the checks didn't pass. This is the same commit, fixed up to
actually disable the functionality when necessary.
Enabled automatically if boost >= 1.49.
See: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2309
Also, check for a default visibility attribute, so that we can mark future
api functions correctly.

While we're at it, reduce the use of LIBS as well. This makes dependencies
explicit.
Fixes building with (the not-yet-merged) libsecp256k1 as well.
