When a big number of trace patterns are set by inviso the
41

<p>Cross compilation improvements and other build system
94
<p>Most notable:</p> <list><item> Lots of cross
95
compilation improvements. The old cross compilation
96
support was more or less non-existing as well as broken.
97
Please, note that the cross compilation support should
98
still be considered as experimental. Also note that old
99
cross compilation configurations cannot be used without
100
modifications. For more information on cross compiling
101
Erlang/OTP see the <c>$ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md</c> file.
102
</item><item> Support for staged install using <url
103
href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html">DESTDIR</url>.
104
The old broken <c>INSTALL_PREFIX</c> has also been fixed.
105
For more information see the <c>$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md</c>
106
file. </item><item> Documentation of the <c>release</c>
107
target of the top <c>Makefile</c>. For more information
108
see the <c>$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md</c> file. </item><item>
109
<c>make install</c> now by default creates relative
110
symbolic links instead of absolute ones. For more
111
information see the <c>$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md</c> file.
112
</item><item> <c>$ERL_TOP/configure --help=recursive</c>
113
now works and prints help for all applications with
114
<c>configure</c> scripts. </item><item> Doing <c>make
115
install</c>, or <c>make release</c> directly after
116
<c>make all</c> no longer triggers miscellaneous
117
rebuilds. </item><item> Existing bootstrap system is now
118
used when doing <c>make install</c>, or <c>make
119
release</c> without a preceding <c>make all</c>.
120
</item><item> The <c>crypto</c> and <c>ssl</c>
121
applications use the same runtime library path when
122
dynamically linking against <c>libssl.so</c> and
123
<c>libcrypto.so</c>. The runtime library search path has
124
also been extended. </item><item> The <c>configure</c>
125
scripts of <c>erl_interface</c> and <c>odbc</c> now
126
search for thread libraries and thread library quirks the
127
same way as <c>erts</c> do. </item><item> The
128
<c>configure</c> script of the <c>odbc</c> application
129
now also looks for odbc libraries in <c>lib64</c> and
130
<c>lib/64</c> directories when building on a 64-bit
131
system. </item><item> The <c>config.h.in</c> file in the
132
<c>erl_interface</c> application is now automatically
133
generated in instead of statically updated which reduces
134
the risk of <c>configure</c> tests without any effect.
