Split AR_RC into AR and ARFLAGS. The variables AR and ARFLAGS are
de-facto standards (like CC and CFLAGS, LD and LDFLAGS, etc.) that
may be overridden when running make. Moreover, configuring CC, LD,
AR, etc., to point to a cross-platform compiler, linker, librarian,
etc., is a de-facto standard practice as well.
Also remove the MKDIR_P variable definitions from all makefiles.
They've been leftovers from the removal of the "install*" targets.
In most of the legacy makefiles (with only a few notable exceptions
such as makefile.linux), the "install" targets have been broken since
libpng-1.5.0beta01. Specifically, the "install-shared" targets produced
incorrect library names, due to a missing symbol in the definition of
the LIBSOREL macro.
Rather than correcting this long-standing and long-untested error, we
decided to remove the support for "make install" altogether, from all
legacy makefiles. Further use of "make install", "make install-static"
or "make install-shared" will fail with an error message.
Going forward, the only tested and supported manners to install libpng
shall be the conventional build and install procedures driven by the
configure script or by the CMake file.
Fix the legacy makefile builds on ARM, MIPS and PowerPC, where
hardware-optimized compilation was enabled by default in the generic
source files, but without including the machine-specific source files.
Delete scripts/makefile.linux-opt.
Considering that "-Wextra" is a more descriptive alternative to "-W",
and that "-Wundef" is a highly useful warning option that has been
available in ancient versions of gcc (version 2.x), we replace all
occurrences of "-W -Wall" with "-Wall -Wextra -Wundef".
Also clean up the makefiles.
The console logs produced by these scripts should be easy to follow,
especially on CI bots.
Delete the unnecessary macros ECHO and SED.
Add a new macro MV_F (for "mv -f"), alongside RM_F (for "rm -f").
Delete variables (ALIGN, ARCH, DOCS) and targets (writelock) that are
no longer necessary.
Reorder the object file lists alphabetically, consistently across all
makefiles and build scripts.
Apply other minor fixes.
from the source files, along with "#define PNG_EXPOSE_INTERNAL_STRUCTURES"
and "#define PNG_NO_PEDANTIC_WARNINGS" (John Bowler).
Also created new pngdebug.h and moved debug definitions there.
to prevent warnings about direct access to png structs by libpng functions
while building libpng. They need to be tested, especially
those using compilers other than gcc.
