We have seen a number of problems caused by poll() not working properly on
Mac OSX. If you search around, you'll find a number of references to using
select() instead of poll() to work around these issues. In Asterisk, we've
had poll.c which implements poll() using select() internally. However, we
were still getting reports of problems.
vadim investigated a bit and realized that at least on his system, even
though we were compiling in poll.o, the system poll() was still being used.
So, the primary purpose of this patch is to ensure that we're using the
internal poll() when we want it to be used.
The changes are:
1) Remove logic for when internal poll should be used from the Makefile.
Instead, put it in the configure script. The logic in the configure
script is the same as it was in the Makefile. Ideally, we would have
a functionality test for the problem, but that's not actually possible,
since we would have to be able to run an application on the _target_
system to test poll() behavior.
2) Always include poll.o in the build, but it will be empty if AST_POLL_COMPAT
is not defined.
3) Change uses of poll() throughout the source tree to ast_poll(). I feel
that it is good practice to give the API call a new name when we are
changing its behavior and not using the system version directly in all cases.
So, normally, ast_poll() is just redefined to poll(). On systems where
AST_POLL_COMPAT is defined, ast_poll() is redefined to ast_internal_poll().
4) Change poll() in main/poll.c to be ast_internal_poll().
It's worth noting that any code that still uses poll() directly will work fine
(if they worked fine before). So, for example, out of tree modules that are
using poll() will not stop working or anything. However, for modules to work
properly on Mac OSX, ast_poll() needs to be used.

Several changes in PTLib have occurred requiring build time detection. Changes
accounted for include the library name change, config option change, install
location change, and a boolean type change which is handled by ast_ptlib.h.
Also, the sed check has been modified to properly work with autoconf >= 2.62.

this happens, the grep that looks for the version (from tdsver.h) will fail
and we'll have some problems during the build.

Now if a directory is specified, then we will search that directory for
a source installation of the IMAP toolkit. If none is found, then we will
use that directory as the basis for detecting a package installation of
the IMAP c-client. If that check fails, then configure will fail.

Now, if a source directory is specified with the --with-imap option, and a valid
source installation is not detected there, then configure will fail and will not
check for a package installation.

Asterisk with IMAP support, you would use the --with-imap configure switch in one of the following
two ways:
--with-imap=/some/directory would look in the directory specified for a UW IMAP source installation
--with-imap would assume that you had imap-2004g installed in .. relative to the Asterisk source
With this set of changes the two above options still work the same, but there are two new behaviors, too.
--with-imap=system will assume that you have -libc-client.so where you store your shared objects and will
attempt to find c-client headers in your include path either in the imap or c-client directory.
If either of the two original methods of specifying the imap option should fail, then the check for --with-imap
=system will be performed in addition. It is only after this "system" check that failure can happen.

Normally, we would not backport features into 1.4, but, I was convinced by the
justification supplied by the supplier of this patch. He pointed out that this
patch removes a requirement for running as root, thus reducing the potential
impacts of security issues.

rizzo brought up some issues related to the way that the metadata required
for menuselect and the rest of the build system is extracted from the source
files. Since I had a few hours to kill on an airplane today, I decided to
improve this situation... so now the system caches the extracted metadata
and uses it to build the menuselect 'tree' as much as it can. The result
of this is that when a single source file is changed, only the metadata for
that file needs to be extracted again, and the rest is used from the cache
files. I also reduced the number of forked processes required to do the
metadata extraction; it was actually possible to do most of what we needed
in the Makefiles themselves without using any shell scripts at all! On my
laptop, these changes resulted in an 80% decrease in the time required
for the 'menuselect.makeopts' automatic check to occur after editing a single
source file.
While doing this work I also cleaned up a few minor things in the Makefiles,
adding a check for 'awk' to the configure script and changed all remaining
places we use 'grep' or 'awk' to use the ones found by the configure script,
and changed the 'prep_tarball' script to build the menuselect metadata so
that tarballs of Asterisk will include it and won't require the user to
wait while it is extracted after unpacking.
