1.) Fix broken "yasm" version check which only accepts version numbers
like "a.b.c.d" but not like "a.b.c" and therefore fails with
Yasm 1.2.0. This probably affects other platforms (e.g. Linux
as well).
2.) Use "-R" instead of non-portable "-rpath" linker option.
The build under Solaris 10 fails now during the build phase and not
already in the configuration phase.
it will fallback to "yacc" (instead of "bison") and the library will
not link properly. This problem is probably only visible under Solaris
where "lex" is not "flex".
Bump package revision because of this fix.
- NULL is a pointer. Don't use it for '\0', which is a character.
- Silence warnings about unused variables.
- Silence clang warnings about format strings.
- Fix up the makefile and configure logic, rolling in patch-aa and
patch-ab. Make the configure script report what it's doing instead
of making wrong decisions silently.
- Fix broken build when using system curses instead of the builtin
curses subset. (This is not the default, nor apparently recommended,
but can happen if the configure script doesn't like you.)
- Bump PKGREVISION.
fixes following issues
* fail to startup or break configureation file with 3rd party plugins,
especially on Ruby 2.0.0.
* sometimes crash on Ruby 1.9.3.
