Benno Schulenberg ec177c84b3 build: require version 0.20 of gettext for building nano from git
Gettext-0.20 is the first version where its `autopoint` does not
overwrite the newer 'extern-inline.m4' from gnulib.

Version 0.20 is five years old, so most users will be on a distro
that includes that version of gettext or a newer one.

Benno Schulenberg 6243831dfb build: add options --disable-formatter and --disable-linter to configure
This makes more sense than letting the formatter and the linter depend
on ENABLE_COLOR (which maybe should have been named ENABLE_SYNTAX).

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50080.

Benno Schulenberg 5c3e00d70a build: remove an obsolete check -- the dependent code was deleted
The code fragment that was conditionalized on REDEFINING_MACROS_OK

autoconf build rules that would cause configure to be rebuilt and rerun.

Mike Frysinger 8173b1bfbe general: fix building for Windows
Fix building with x86_64-w64-mingw32 to cross-compile native Windows
programs.  Need to:

  * add checks for missing functions
  * don't use signals that are unavailable on the platform
  * avoid useless non-Linux sys/ioctl.h include
  * use putenv instead of setenv as the latter is unavailable

Benno Schulenberg 6823831c06 build: drop the check for two functions that we don't use any more
Since commits b0209374 and 1c010d8e from a month ago, nano does not use
mblen() and mbtowc() any more, so there is no need to check for their
presence.

Instead, add a check for iswalpha(), which we do use.

Benno Schulenberg e8abbc7045 build: stop using an obsolete macro, and use 'void' for signal handlers
The Autoconf manual says that 'AC_TYPE_SIGNAL' is obsolete and
that it is fine to simply use 'void' instead of 'RETSIGTYPE'.

Benno Schulenberg 235f92ce09 build: do not accept --enable-libmagic when not having color support

Benno Schulenberg 98a24fc8f9 build: to verify wide curses, probe for a function that cannot be a macro
This probing has been changed four times in the past:

    git log --grep get_wch

In March 2005, commit 2161fa62 changed the probe from get_wch() to
wget_wch(), reasoning that "get_wch() might be a macro instead of
a function".  (Four months earlier, commit 3ba9c351 changed it
from addwstr() to wget_wch(), probably for the same reason.)  But
three months later, in commit 25799f68, the probe gets changed to
get_wch() again, because "it's a more generic function"...

It seems clear that the non-macro argument is the stronger one.
See the NOTES section in 'man get_wch' for its possible macroness.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58997.

Benno Schulenberg 13327203e0 build: use a more dependable method for detecting a build from git
The Haiku recipe seems to detect a .git directory somewhere, even though
they are building from a tarball.  So, check instead for the presence of
nano's release script, which ought to be present only in a git checkout,
not in a released tarball.

Benno Schulenberg 9a4586557b build: stop distributing a nano.spec file
We do not provide an RPM package.  And distros like Fedora, Mageia,
and Suse have their own spec files -- they don't need ours.  And in
case anyone would like to create their own RPM package from nano,
they can look at the spec files of those distros.
