Howdy,
I have committed a few changes related to the autoconf configure process
that could affect some people.
AVX has been taken out of the experimental state after a fair amount of
testing and tweaking. The configure process will default to AVX if the
build machine and OS supports AVX.
Previously we were building with g_assert on by default. This behaviour
has changed. The default is off. It can be enabled with this option:
--enable-gasserts enable g_assert debugging macros (Default disabled)
The default browser for *nix/BSD based builds was changed from Firefox
to xdg-open . xdg-open is a more generic mechanism to open URLs, and is
available across many distributions.
You can override this behaviour with a new --with option:
--with-default-browser=program
specify the program to open URLs:
(default=xdg-open,
or default=sensible-browser on Debian distros)
To get the old behaviour of forcing the browser to be Firefox use:
--with-default-browser=firefox
If you don't specify a program and use it this way:
--with-default-browser
The configure process will look for these ways to launch a browser on
the build machine in this order:
sensible-browser, xdg-open, firefox . If none of these are found it will
default back to xdg-open. If xdg-open isn't available, then launching
the GNUBG manual and the help will not do anything.
