This change was introduced in 2.6. Anyone wishing to migrate from 2.4 to 4 should
first pass via 2.6 and/or 3 anyway so this code will never be used again for 4.x
The swig 3.0 generated python wrappers trigger a warning converted into an error issued
by gcc 8.0 for using strncpy as follows:
strncpy(buff, "swig_ptr: ", 10);
The reason is this call will truncate the trailing null byte from the string.
This appears to have been fixed in swig master already but that's not released yet
so let disable the warning when compiling the swig wrappers until it is.
Replacing libgncmod-python, libgncmod-core-utils-python, and
libgncmod-app-utils-python with _sw_core_utils and _sw_app_utils.
The latter two are the modules that init.py wants to load and with
Python3 Swig appears to no longer make them available via libgncmod.
Note that there may still be some problems with actually using the
console, but it at least loads at startup without complaint.
When building from git it will add targets to generate the swig files.
When building from tarball it will just point at the generated source
files from the tarball.

- the two dist_add_... macros now both take a list of file names
as argument so more files can be added at once to the dist tarball.
- dist_add_generated now creates the right target by itself. There's
no need to pass one any more
- make the swig generated *.py module files explicit output files
- change a couple of custom_targets into custom_commands. The only
reason they were defined as targets was to ensure they got built
before the dist tarball. This is now properly handled by the
dist_add_... macros.
- correctly handle dependency on swig-runtime.h (using OBJECT_DEPENDS
was not the way to do it according to that property's help page)
This includes removal of the now unused make-gnucash-potfiles.in,
checking for CMakeLists.txt rather than Makefile.am in gnc-vcs-info,
upating the HACKING file,
and generally updating references to autotools.
I have kept "Makefile.*" exclude patterns in our CMakeLists.txt files
because they may still be lingering in the source directory from
previous autogen.sh runs. At some point these should probably be
removed as well still, together with the gitignore references to them.
gtk-mac-bundler can't access the executable's rpath list so it can't
follow dependencies if they're not in $install_dir/lib from @rpath.
Autotools always sets absolute path install names so this should have no
adverse affects on other Mac builds.
Instead of building libgncmod-app-utils-python as a stand-alone library
because gncmod-app-utils.c can be compiled only with guile thanks to
declaring scm_init_sw_app_utils_module. Linux linkers will just mark it
'U' but the MacOS linker errors out.
It is split into
- /libgnucash (for the non-gui bits)
- /gnucash (for the gui)
- /common (misc source files used by both)
- /bindings (currently only holds python bindings)
This is the first step in restructuring the code. It will need much
more fine tuning later on.
