Simplified version of #8278. Assumes that every OS that (a) is supported
by Bitcoin Core (b) supports daemonization has the `daemon()` function
in its C library.
- Removes the fallback path for operating systems that support
daemonization but not `daemon()`. This prevents never-exercised code from
ending up in the repository (see discussion here:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8278#issuecomment-242704745).
- Removes the windows-specific path. Windows doesn't support `daemon()`,
so it don't support daemonization there, automatically.

- LevelDB platform was not guessed correctly (it ended up defining
`-DOS_OPENBSD59` instead of `-DOS_OPENBSD`)
- On OpenBSD there is no convenience link from `python3.5` to `python3`:
add detection for other python interpreter names.
- If it has to guess the LevelDB OS, print a autoconf warning so that
the user can check.
We don't use any elliptic curves from OpenSSL anymore, nor include this
header anywhere but optionally in the tests of secp256k1 (which has
its own autoconf setup).

- guard PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG with an m4_ifdef. If not building for windows,
require it
- add nops as necessary in case the ifdef reduces the if/then to nothing
- AC_SUBST some missing _LIBS. These were split out over time, but not all were
properly substituted. They continued to work if pkg-config is installed
because it does the AC_SUBST itself
- create a script to handle split debug. This will also eventually need to check
targets, and use dsymutil for osx.
- update config.guess/config.sub for bdb for aarch64.
- temporarily disable symbol checks for arm/aarch64
- quit renaming to linux32/linux64 and use the host directly
This also adds a hack to work around an Ubuntu bug in the gcc-multilib package:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-defaults-armhf-cross/+bug/1347820
The problem is that gcc-multilib conflicts with the aarch toolchain.
gcc-multilib installs a symlink that points
/usr/include/asm -> /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm.
Without this link, gcc -m32 can't find asm/errno.h (and others), since
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu isn't in its default include path. But
/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu is (though it doesn't exist on disk).
So work around the problem by linking
/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/asm -> /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm.
The symlink fix is actually quite reasonable, but echoing the password into
sudo is nasty, and should probably be addressed in gitian itself. It makes more
sense to enable passwordless sudo for the build user by default.
- Link pull-tester/rpc-tests.py to the build dir
- Add the build-dir's config to the python path so that tests can find it
- The tests themselves are in srcdir
- Clean up __pycache__ in 'make clean'

Disabling warnings can be tricky, because doing so can cause a different
compiler to create new warnings about unsupported disable flags. Also, some
warnings don't surface until they're paired with another warning (gcc). For
example, adding "-Wno-foo" won't cause any trouble, but if there's a legitimate
warning emitted, the "unknown option -Wno-foo" will show up as well.
Work around this in 2 ways:
1. When checking to see if -Wno-foo is supported, check for "-Wfoo" instead.
2. Enable -Werror while checking 1.
If "-Werror -Wfoo" compiles, "-Wno-foo" is almost guaranteed to be supported.
-Werror itself is also checked. If that fails to compile by itself, it likely
means that the user added a flag that adds a warning. In that case, -Werror
won't be used while checking, and the build may be extra noisy. The user would
need to fix the bad input flag.
Also, silence 2 more additional warnings that can show up post-c++11.
leveldb's buildsystem causes us a few problems:
- breaks out-of-tree builds
- forces flags used for some tools
- limits cross builds
Rather than continuing to add wrappers around it, simply integrate it into our
build.
Unfortunately, the target namees defined at the Makefile.am level can't be used
for *.in substitution. So these new defines will have to stay synced up with
those targets.
Using the new variables for the deploy targets in the main Makefile.am will
ensure that they stay in sync, otherwise build tests will fail.
This removes the following executables from the binary gitian release:
- test_bitcoin-qt[.exe]
- bench_bitcoin[.exe]
@jonasschnelli and me discussed this on IRC a few days ago - unlike the
normal `bitcoin_tests` which is useful to see if it is safe to run
bitcoin on a certain OS/environment combination, there is no good reason
to include these. Better to leave them out to reduce the download
size.
Sizes from the 0.12 release:
```
2.4M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/bench_bitcoin.exe
22M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/test_bitcoin-qt.exe
```
Ubuntu 16.04 "xenial xerus" does not come with Python 2.x by default.
It is possible to install a python-2.7 package, but this has its own
problem: no `python` or `python2` symlink (see #7717).
This fixes the following scripts to work with python 3:
- `make check` (bctest,py, bitcoin-util-test.py)
- `make translate` (extract_strings_qt.py)
- `make symbols-check` (symbol-check.py)
- `make security-check` (security-check.py)
Explicitly call the python commands using $(PYTHON) instead
of relying on the interpreter line at the top of the scripts.
The old configure.ac did not work for a copyright holders string
containing commas due to insufficient quoting. The new one allows this.
While this is, of course, not of direct consequence to the current code
(where the string is "Bitcoin Core"), it should still be fixed now that
the string is actually factored out.
Due to include ordering, defining in one place was not enough to ensure correct
usage. Use global defines so that we don't have to worry abou this ordering.
Also add a comment in configure about the test.
This is ugly, but temporary. boost::filesystem will likely be dropped soon
after c++11 is enabled. Otherwise, we could simply roll our own copy_file. I've
fixed this at the buildsystem level for now in order to avoid mixing in
functional changes.
Explanation:
If boost (prior to 1.57) was built without c++11, it emulated scoped enums
using c++98 constructs. Unfortunately, this implementation detail leaked into
the abi. This was fixed in 1.57.
When building against that installed version using c++11, the headers pick up
on the native c++11 scoped enum support and enable it, however it will fail to
link. This can be worked around by disabling c++11 scoped enums if linking will
fail.
Add an autoconf test to determine incompatibility. At build-time, if native
enums are being used (a c++11 build), and force-disabling them causes a
successful link, we can be sure that there's an incompatibility and enable the
work-around.
