Before this commit, there was no way to install libuv other than
manually copying required files to the path. This commit introduces
an install target which installs the libuv.a, libuv.so and header files
to the install prefix.
``
make
make install
``
The above will use the default prefix `/usr/local`
``
make
make install PREFIX=/usr
``
The above will install to `/usr`
Check that a timer that is started from a check handle gets picked up
correctly, i.e. that it influences the timeout used in the next tick
of the event loop.
Commit 3eb6eb3 links the .so with -Wl,-soname which breaks the
`make test` target: run-tests is linked against (for example)
libuv.so.0.11 while the actual file name is libuv.so.
That's relatively easy to fix by getting creative with rpaths but it's
even easier to fix by simply linking statically.
It also means I no longer have to remember to set LD_BIND_NOW when
profiling the benchmarks.
Rename the OS make variable to PLATFORM, it conflicts with the OS env
var. That is, running `make` when the OS env var is set, may cause
spurious build breakage.
Fixes#737.
