This reverts commit b8f059a881.
The localipc library was accidentally merged on the master branch,
whereas it should have been only on a side branch. This was generated
with the help of Cursor, and was in the process of being tested, but I
don't think it follows the style of the rest of the project. In
addition, this seems to be needlessly complex, and needs to be greatly
simplified.
In order to make daemon communication more secure, we are introducing a
new library to handle the interprocess communication over the Unix
socket. The localipc library abstracts away a lot of the boilerplate
around the socket API and ensures that the packets are cleanly
transferred between the clients and server.
A future change will modify the daemon logic to leverage localipc
instead of x52dcomm, and eliminate the manual poll loop. The daemon can
then handle the business logic of commands/notifications.
Meson is a far more robust build framework, compared to autotools. This
greatly simplifies adding new features, since it's far easier to
maintain a set of meson.build files vs the autotools mishmash.
DEPRECATION NOTICE: Autotools based build is deprecated and will be
removed in the future.
