Lasse Collin 9ccbae4100 Mention potential sandboxing bugs in INSTALL. 2016-12-28 21:05:22 +02:00
Lasse Collin 8e0f1af3dc Document --enable-sandbox configure option in INSTALL. 2016-12-26 20:50:25 +02:00
Lasse Collin 74f8dad9f9 liblzma: Disable external SHA-256 by default. 
This is the sane thing to do. The conflict with OpenSSL
on some OSes and especially that the OS-provided versions
can be significantly slower makes it clear that it was
a mistake to have the external SHA-256 support enabled by
default.

Those who want it can now pass --enable-external-sha256 to
configure. INSTALL was updated with notes about OSes where
this can be a bad idea.

The SHA-256 detection code in configure.ac had some bugs that
could lead to a build failure in some situations. These were
fixed, although it doesn't matter that much now that the
external SHA-256 is disabled by default.

MINIX >= 3.2.0 uses NetBSD's libc and thus has SHA256_Init
in libc instead of libutil. Support for the libutil version
was removed.

Lasse Collin 98001740ca Windows: Update the docs. 2015-09-25 14:03:24 +03:00
Lasse Collin aae6a6aeda Update Solaris notes in INSTALL. 
Mention the possible "make check" failure on Solaris in the
Solaris-specific section of INSTALL. It was already in
section 4.5 but it is better mention it in the OS-specific
section too.

Lasse Collin 56056571df Build: Add --disable-doc to configure. 2014-04-25 17:44:26 +03:00
Lasse Collin 6de61d8721 Update INSTALL. 
Add a note about failing "make check". The source of
the problem should be fixed in libtool (if it really is
a libtool bug and not mine) but I'm unable to spend time
on that for now. Thanks to Nelson H. F. Beebe for reporting
the issue.

Add a note about a possible need to run "ldconfig" after
"make install".

Lasse Collin 6b44b4a775 Add native threading support on Windows. 
Now liblzma only uses "mythread" functions and types
which are defined in mythread.h matching the desired
threading method.

Before Windows Vista, there is no direct equivalent to
pthread condition variables. Since this package doesn't
use pthread_cond_broadcast(), pre-Vista threading can
still be kept quite simple. The pre-Vista code doesn't
use anything that wasn't already available in Windows 95,
so the binaries should run even on Windows 95 if someone
happens to care.

Lasse Collin 9886d436ff Change the default of --enable-assume-ram from 32 to 128 MiB. 
This is to allow files created with "xz -9" to be decompressed
if the amount of RAM cannot be determined.
