This option is going to be mandatory starting with automake 2.0.
LyX is able to use this since version 2.1, but it turns out that it is
badly implemented in versions of automake older than 1.14.
We rely on some (undocumented) symbol to detect automake 1.14 and
use the subdirs-objects option in this case.
For more details, see:
https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg181023.html
Making everything work with autotools required making a copy of two
files from support/tests. It seems that we should not point to source files
that are handled by another Makefile.am.
The problems the comments in the build systems refer to seem to have been
fixed for years. [1] says the checks in libstdc++ have been improved, and
all supported FreeBSD versions enable wchar_t support unconditionally in
libstdc++. Additionally, this needlessly impacts FreeBSD when libc++ is used
instead of libstdc++.

The reason for adding this option is to kill a warning with automake 1.14. However, the "make distclean" target does not work with the subdir-objects options for older versions of automake. To still allow older versions of automake, we remove this option and live with the warning when using automake 1.14.
This reverts commit 03343bd4e6.
Make sure that the configure script only checks features using the C++ compiler.
Also get rid of our last C files, since they are not compiled nor distributed anyway.
Using autotools, the availability of putenv is not checked, so
the macro HAVE_PUTENV is not defined and compiling stops with
the error "No environment-setting function has been defined."
Thus, also check for putenv.
* build-type=profiling implies -fno-omit-frame-pointer in gcc. This allows sysprof to yield proper call trees
* remove --enable-grpof option (the build type is enough)
* remove --with-frontend option since we have only one frontend. Move stuff around and generally simplify the Qt detection code
* do not check for bc anymore.
* Update README.
The current code is not able to unset an environment variable, only to set it to an empty value. This patch refactors a bit the Message class and uses a new EnvChanger helper class that allows to change temporarily an environment variable and that is able to unset variables if needed.
The patch also adds new functions hasEnv and unsetEnv in environment.cpp.
Open issues:
* there may be systems where unsetenv is not available and putenv("name=") does not do the right thing;
* unsetenv may lead to leaks on some platforms.
* when using unsetenv, we may need to remove strings from the internal map that setEnv uses.
The previous scheme of loading all possible translations and checking whether the work
is a bit too much "brute force" and causes problems on Mac OS X (documents loaded
with the wrong language).
In the new scheme, autotools install a file lib/installed_translations that contains a list of installed languages (the .gmo files that got installed). This file is read
in Languages::readInstalledTranslations and allows to set the translated() property
of each language.
* add proper INSTALL_POSIX conditional for makefiles
* move all the code to Makefile.am
* rename lyx.desktop to lyx.desptop.in and add proper tags to allow handling of program_suffix.
* add code to install desktop entry and icons under the proper name.
I did not touch scons and cmake, I hope it was not necessary.
