ts has been fixed to again work in a cross build environment.
See ts:help() and xcomp/README.md for details about how it works.
|
|
The INSTALL.md, INSTALL-CROSS.md, and INSTALL-WIN32.md "readme files" are
now included in both the HTML and the PDF documentation.
|
|
The most important "readme" files now use Markdown notation. HTML
versions of these files are now also automatically generated and
included in the HTML documentation.
- Building and Installing Erlang/OTP - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md
(previously known as $ERL_TOP/README).
- Cross Compiling Erlang/OTP - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md.
- How to Build Erlang/OTP on Windows - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL-WIN32.md
(previously known as $ERL_TOP/README.win32).

improvements.
Most notable:
Lots of cross compilation improvements. The old cross compilation
support was more or less non-existing as well as broken. Please,
note that the cross compilation support should still be
considered as experimental. Also note that old cross compilation
configurations cannot be used without modifications. For more
information on cross compiling Erlang/OTP see the
$ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md file.
Support for staged install using <url
href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html">D
ESTDIR</url>. The old broken INSTALL_PREFIX has also been fixed.
For more information see the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file.
Documentation of the release target of the top Makefile. For more
information see the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file.
make install now by default creates relative symbolic links
instead of absolute ones. For more information see the
$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file.
$ERL_TOP/configure --help=recursive now works and prints help for
all applications with configure scripts.
Doing make install, or make release directly after make all no
longer triggers miscellaneous rebuilds.
Existing bootstrap system is now used when doing make install, or
make release without a preceding make all.
The crypto and ssl applications use the same runtime library path
when dynamically linking against libssl.so and libcrypto.so. The
runtime library search path has also been extended.
The configure scripts of erl_interface and odbc now search for
thread libraries and thread library quirks the same way as erts
do.
The configure script of the odbc application now also looks for
odbc libraries in lib64 and lib/64 directories when building on a
64-bit system.
The config.h.in file in the erl_interface application is now
automatically generated in instead of statically updated which
reduces the risk of configure tests without any effect.
(Thanks to Henrik Riomar for suggestions and testing)
