This is work in progress. Recheck and finalization coming up in the following days.

The current function CHECK_HEADER_ADD_INCLUDE() automatically defines HAVE_<HEADER_NAME_H> preprocessor macros, which makes it difficult to sync with other build systems. Specially, if some HAVE_ macro is used in the code and this function defines this macro but Autotools doesn't.

The new CHECK_HEADER() function behaves similar except it doesn't define the HAVE_<HEADER_NAME_H> preprocessor macro.

This removes the following unused compile definitions:

HAVE_ARGON2_H
HAVE_AVIF_H
HAVE_BZLIB_H
HAVE_CAPSTONE_CAPSTONE_H
HAVE_CURL_EASY_H
HAVE_DB_H
HAVE_DECODE_H
HAVE_DEPOT_H
HAVE_EDITLINE_READLINE_H
HAVE_ENCHANT_H
HAVE_ENCODE_H

HAVE_TIMELIB_CONFIG_H
HAVE_UNICODE_USPOOF_H
HAVE_UNICODE_UTF_H
HAVE_XPM_H
HAVE_ZIP_H

The following compile definitions are defined explicitly:

  • HAVE_ICONV_H
  • HAVE_MSCOREE_H
  • HAVE_SQL_H
  • HAVE_SQLEXT_H

The current function `CHECK_HEADER_ADD_INCLUDE()` automatically defines
`HAVE_<HEADER_NAME_H>` preprocessor macros, which makes it difficult to
sync with other build systems. Specially, if some `HAVE_` macro is used
in the code and this function defines this macro but Autotools doesn't.

The new CHECK_HEADER() function behaves similar except it doesn't define
the `HAVE_<HEADER_NAME_H>` preprocessor macro.

This removes the following unused compile definitions:

HAVE_ARGON2_H
HAVE_AVIF_H
HAVE_BZLIB_H
HAVE_CAPSTONE_CAPSTONE_H
HAVE_CURL_EASY_H
HAVE_DB_H
HAVE_DECODE_H
