The current configure.in file does not correctly make use of these
macros. The resulting configure file will therefore enable an item
even if --disable-FEATURE is given. This patch restores the intended
behavior.
Apart from the platform specific tun/tap driver, link with the dummy and
raw_socket devices, and optionally with support for UML and VDE devices.
At runtime, the DeviceType option can be used to select which driver to
use.
Instead of UNIX time, the log messages now start with the time in RFC3339
format, which human-readable and still easy for the computer to parse and sort.
The HUP signal will also cause the log file to be closed and reopened, which is
useful when log rotation is used. If there is an error while opening the log
file, this is logged to stderr.
OpenSSL depends on libdl and libz. When linking dynamically, libcrypto will
automatically link with the other two libraries. However, when linking
statically, these libraries need to be specified explicitly while linking. By
moving the autoconf checks for libdl and libz before those for libcrypto, we
ensure the latter test will be done with the proper libraries.
This feature is not necessary anymore since we have tools like valgrind today
that can catch stack overflow errors before they make a backtrace in gdb
impossible.
This allows us to use getaddrinfo(), getnameinfo() and related functions, which
allow tinc to make connections over existing IPv6 networks. These functions are
not available on Windows 2000 however. By default, support is enabled, but when
compiling for Windows 2000 the configure switch --with-windows2000 should be
used.
Since getaddrinfo() et al. are not functions but macros on Windows, we have to
use AC_CHECK_DECLS() instead of AC_CHECK_FUNCS() in configure.in.
This is a slightly modified patch from Grzegorz Dymarek that allows tinc to use
the tunemu device, which allows tinc to be compiled for iPhones and recent
iPods. To enable support for tunemu, the --enable-tunemu option has to be used
when running the configure script.
It has been available for years on any decent Linux distribution.
Although linux/if_tun.h is now required to compile tinc,
you can still run it on systems which only support Ethertap.
