2015-10-14Add details on the FOP formatterDerek Brown
I found that I needed to take the two steps I added to INSTALL.md for this PR, or else fop execution when doing a "make docs" would fail with either a Java ClassNotFoundException or command "fop" not found: * Adding the FOP install directory to $FOP_HOME * Adding the fop script to $PATH

2015-08-21Improve choice of clock sources at build timeRickard Green
- Documented the configure switch --with-clock-resolution=<RES> - Changed default clock source for OS system time on Darwin to gettimeofday(). In order to use clock_get_time(CALENDER_CLOCK, ...) on Darwin, the user has to pass --with-clock-resolution=high when configuring the build.
2015-08-02Fix osx install wxWidgets instructionsEric Appelt
wxWidgets does not have a branch named `WX_3_0_branch`, but has `WX_3_0_BRANCH` Trying to clone with `--branch` set to the lowercase name fails. Fix branch name to `WX_3_0_BRANCH`.

* lukas/ose/remove/OTP-12573: Remove OSE from erl_interface ose: Remove all code related to the OSE port
2015-07-10ose: Remove all code related to the OSE portLukas Larsson
The OSE port is no longer supported and this commit removed it and any changes related to it. The things that were general improvements have been left in the code.

Since no bug fixes are done anymore on the 2.8 branch it is time to switch the preferred version to 3.0 branch.

2015-01-14Improve ethread atomics based on GCC builtinsRickard Green
* Use of __atomic builtins when available. * Improved configure test that checks for missing memory barrier in __sync_synchronize(). The old approach was to verify known working gcc versions and check gcc version at compile time. Besides not being very safe, the old approach often unnecessarily caused usage of the very expensive workaround. * Introduced (no overhead) workaround for missing clobber in __sync_synchronize() when using buggy LLVM implementation of __sync_synchronize(). * Implement native memory barriers for ARM processors supporting the DMB instruction. * Use of volatile store on Alpha as atomic set operation if no __atomic_store_n() is available (already used on x86/x86_64 Sparc V9, PowerPC, and MIPS). Fallback used when not using volatile store is typically very expensive. * Use volatile load on Alpha and ARM as atomic read operation if no __atomic_load_n() is available (already used on x86/x86_64 Sparc V9, PowerPC, and MIPS). Fallback when not using volatile load is typically very expensive.

2014-04-03Update instructions for cloning the wxWidgets repositoryBjörn Gustavsson
The master branch has incompatible changes by default. The safest course for now is to use the WX_3_0_branch.

In 9f57d8c4f86323cf7481c9a7e512486087bb5542, the configure option --enable-shared-zlib. It was replaced with --enable-builtin-zlib.
