With this patch if you ./configure clutter using
--with-flavour=opengl-egl-xlib then it will use EGL + OpenGL instead of
the default GLX and OpenGL.
These days upstream driver work is more focused on improving EGL than it
is GLX so likewise we want to make sure Clutter has good support for
EGL.
This adds a separate variable name "CLUTTER_SONAME_INFIX" to define the
infix for the clutter library that gets linked. Currently the WINSYS
corresponds to the directory we enter when building to compile the
window system and input support, but it is desirable to be able to
define multiple flavours that use the same WINSYS but should result in
different library names.
For example we are planning to combine the eglx and eglnative window
systems into one "egl" winsys but we will need to preserve the current
library names for the eglx and eglnative flavours.
When we check the flavour we now just set boolean variables for the
following things:
SUPPORT_X11=1
SUPPORT_XLIB=1
SUPPORT_GLX=1
SUPPORT_EGL=1
SUPPORT_EGL_POWERVR_X11=1
SUPPORT_EGL_POWERVR_NULL=1
This lets us avoid some duplication and also some error prone tests for
lists of flavours used, for example, to determine when we need to check
for x libraries.
It's desirable to have a separation between the "flavour" and the
"winsys". The flavour is a concept internal to the configure script and
is a convenient name to represent the users choice of window system,
opengl driver and input backend. The CLUTTER_WINSYS currently defines
the subdirectory under clutter/ that should be compiled to handle the
window system and input.
With a separation we could add a flavour with no correspondence to which
clutter/subdirectory needs to be built.
After checking the flavour option the user gives we were checking for
the fruity flavour to override the glesversion. Now that the glsl
checking has been moved this can instead just wait until the AS_CASE
that handles all the flavour configuration.
The flavour AS_CASE should define whether a flavour uses the gl or gles
COGL_DRIVER and so we shouldn't need to have an expanding list of
tests to gate when we check for a gles driver because if we move the
checks for gles after the flavour checks we can just look at
$COGL_DRIVER.
This removes EGL_{LIBS,CFLAGS}, GLX_{LIBS,CFLAGS}, OSX_{LIBS,CFLAGS},
WIN32_{LIBS,CFLAGS}, and GLES_{LIBS,CFLAGS} and instead we just append
to FLAVOUR_{LIBS,CFLAGS}.
This makes more of the file relocatable because there were previously
dependencies on the order that some variables were setup in.

configure.ac
This exposes the ./configured window system/backend options to Cogl via
a set of new COGL_HAS_XYZ_SUPPORT defines:
COGL_HAS_{X11,XLIB,GLX,EGL,EGL_PLATFORM_XYZ,OSX,WIN32,WGL}_SUPPORT
The AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 doesn't automatically cause the configure script
to fail if the test fails. This wouldn't usually cause any problems
because we later check for the right glib version using
PKG_CHECK_MODULES directly. However AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 is more thorough
when checking because it also tries to run a program against the
library to read the version. If the macro fails but the pkg-config
check passes then nothing will define GLIB_GENMARSHAL and the build
step will fail in a confusing way.
This adds a check for the result and gives an AC_MSG_ERROR if it
fails. The glib dependencies have been moved out of CLUTTER_DEPS to
AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0.

The system JSON-GLib installation should be the preferred way of parsing
JSON in Clutter. The internal copy is limited by re-synchronization from
upstream, and by the fact that upstream contains a fork of GScanner that
allows parsing escaped UTF-8. We should warn users compiling Clutter
with the internal copy, just like we warn about the internal image
backend.
The X11TexturePixmap actor uses XComposite API directly, without guards.
It has been doing so for a while, against the fact that we do check for
the XComposite extension - but we don't depend on it. As soon as you try
building Clutter on X11 without the XComposite extension available all
hell breaks loose.
The obvious fix is to make Clutter depend on XComposite - basically
ratifying what's the current state of things.
Update the configure.ac to use the LT_INIT() instead of the deprecated
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. This also allows us to depend on a specific libtool
version, namely one that doesn't thoroughly suck.
There is no need for us to check for low-level functions and header
files, especially since we haven't been checking the results until
now. This makes cross-compiling slightly more bearable.
Require automake >= 1.10, and add the following options:
» dist-bzip2: create a bz2 tarball in the dist process
» check-news: check that we changed the NEWS file prior to dist,
to avoid another release without NEWS updates, like 1.1.10
We basically want all Clutter applications out in the wild to at least
have the basic set of COGL_DEBUG/--cogl-debug options available for
investigating issues.
The SDL API is far too limited for the windowing system needs of
Clutter; the status of the SDL backend was always experimental, and
since the Windows platform is supported by a native backend there is
no point in having the SDL backend around any more.
When using pkg-config to check for the x11 package compiler flags and
libraries we actually need to retrieve those values from the pc file.
This should also fix the issue with non-canonical installations of the
X11 headers and shared objects.

The win32 backend now handles the WM_SETCURSOR message and sets a
fully transparent cursor if the cursor-visible property has been
cleared on the stage. The icon is stored in the library via a resource
file. The instance handle for the DLL is needed to load the resource
so there is now a DllMain function to grab the handle.
