Model Ampache Browser dependency on neon/HTTP

Added by Róbert Čerňanský about 7 years ago

Hi,

I've realized that Ampache Browser plugin depends on neon library (and on HTTP support in Audacious). Without neon it does not connect to a server and without HTTP support in Audacious does not play remote files. (Build passes, so it is a runtime dependency.)

So I was thinking that it would be good to express this dependency in the build system explicitly. Otherwise users may produce a build that has dysfunctional/broken plugin. I came up with a solution but I have much respect for the build system so better that I double check here ;-)

             ;;
         *)
             plugin_allowed=yes

I have tested all combinations of --disable/enable-neon --disable/enable-ampache and not passing one or both of the options and it works here. Does it look OK?

Two concerns:
1. The ";;&" syntax might not be portable enough (for example, to Mac OS). See the comments on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12010686/case-statement-fallthrough/12010977#12010977.
2. Did you test that this works correctly (i.e. disables ampache) without --enable-qt? It looks like the result of the Qt check might get overridden by the later neon check.

1. Let's go with a simple if-then:

2. Ah! Right. I've added additional check $plugin_allowed = yes so the next check (for neon) is performed only if the fist one (Qt) passes.

And now I've tested also with --enable/disable-qt combination (with assumption that --disable-qt is the default):
