25 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Compiler Characteristics): Document it.

36 * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Don't use $< in a context where
37 POSIX doesn't require support for it. Use $@.in instead.
38 Problem reported by Anthony N. Frasso in
39 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-03/msg00008.html>.

70 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Ignore all
71 flags of the form -lcrt*.o, not just -lcrt[01].o and -lcrtbegin.o.
72 Darwin uses -lcrt2.o and there's little point to cataloging all
73 the system variants. Partial fix reported by Andreas Waechter in:
74 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-02/msg00006.html

94 warning message when the third argument includes $0
95 (reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz).

149 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_COPYRIGHT): Add 1992 thorugh
150 2003 (except 1997) to the list of copyright years. This undoes
151 the 2003-05-22 change, which removed the older years from the list.
152 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Update copyright date to 2004.

198 * doc/autoconf.texi (Default Includes): Include <stdint.h> even if
199 HAVE_INTTYPES_H is defined. This is needed on Tru64 5.1b with
200 Compac C V6.5-207 (dtk), which defines uintmax_t in <stdint.h> but
201 not <inttypes.h>. Problem reported by Tim Mooney in
202 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-01/msg00147.html>.
203 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT_REQUIREMENTS):
206 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): Use diff, not sed;
207 otherwise "make check" fails because it forbids cmp (I guess
208 because cmp treats files as binary on DOS-like systems).

211 have changed in 2004.

223 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Try -std, not -std1, since
224 -std1 disables some useful extensions on Tru64. Problem reported
226 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-01/msg00100.html>.
228 2004-01-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
230 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Document that
231 AS_MKDIR_P succeeds if the destination is a symbolic link
232 to an existing directory.
233 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note that mkdir -p might not
234 succeed on symlinks to directories.
236 2004-01-13 Paul Hilfinger <hilfinger@CS.Berkeley.EDU>
238 * lib/autoconf/autoupdate.m4 (AU_DEFUN): Grammar fix in comment.

252 2004-01-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
254 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fix bug: AC_CHECK_SIZEOF evokes a warning
255 with `autoconf -Wall,error'. Bug reported by Eric Blake in:
256 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-01/msg00000.html
257 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE): Invoke _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, not
258 AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, since we now assume our caller invokes
259 AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE, for symmetry with _AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN.
260 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN): Likewise, for _AC_RUN_IFELSE instead
261 of AC_RUN_IFELSE; this avoids the warning mentioned above.
262 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Invoke AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE.
264 2004-01-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
266 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE): Avoid \$ inside
267 `"'...'"`, as it's confusing (and I suspect it may not work on
268 some platforms). The code was incorrect anyway, as it assumed
269 that \$ evaluated to itself in that context. Reported by
270 Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
272 2004-01-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
274 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS

302 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_ARG_PROGRAM):

324 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Mention that cc
325 -c -o might not work. From a suggestion by Kevin Ryde.
326 (C Compiler, Generating Sources, Limitations
327 of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
328 Don't put '-o' after non-options, as POSIX doesn't allow this.
329 Mention that cc's name might be gcc or c89 or whatever.

359 of explicitly testing.
360 (AT_CHECK_PERL_SYNTAX): Moved from tools.at.
361 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Test for the configure script syntax.
362 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the shell scripts): Simplify

655 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_G): Use language-specific
656 cache variable instead of $G77 to decide whether to include -O2,
657 since $G77 is specific to Fortran 77.

661 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Support Absoft "-f

743 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Make sure the
744 directory for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS' first argument exists.
745 This makes valid the invocation of _AC_SRCPATH that follows.
746 Reported by Eric Sunshine.
747 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Adjust.
749 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

770 The test suite are sometimes assigning timings incorrectly.
771 Reported by Henk Krus.
772 Diagnosed by Nicolas Joly.
774 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CLEANUP): Rename AT_help as
776 Instead of making AT_help a sequence of assignments to grow
777 $at_help_all, just make AT_help_all be the growing contents of
778 $at_help_all, and make a single assignment in...
780 (at_times_skip): Flip the meaning and rename as...
782 (AT_INIT): When summarizing the test that ran, remove

793 * tests/wrapper.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOM4TE, ): Point to tests/
794 executables, not bin/ executables! Otherwise all the magic needed
795 to find non installed files is turned off. This caused a failure
796 of test 40 and 41 that ran aclocal 1.8 which in turn ran autom4te
797 as found in its environment (sent by tests/autoreconf): pointing
798 to bin/autom4te that could not find its files.
799 * tests/mktests.sh: Force the replacement of generated files, for
800 the sake of "mv" program that are interactive when overwriting a

895 2003-09-02 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
897 Add support for newer Fortran dialects. The F77 interface is
898 unchanged, and continues to support Fortran 77. New FC macros
899 correspond to all the old F77 macros, with output variables FC,
900 FCFLAGS, and FCLIBS. AC_PROG_FC defaults to picking the newest
901 available dialect, but older dialects can be specified. There are
902 new macros AC_FC_SRCEXT to set the source extension, and

1031 First stab at preserving warnings between calls to autom4te,
1032 including when the cache is used.
1034 There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4
1035 (one for include, one for warnings, and some more), (ii) warnings
1036 spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the
1037 code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work
1038 (its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).
1040 * bin/autom4te.in Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
1042 (@preselect): Add m4_warn.
1043 ($exit_status): Remove, use $exit_code.
1044 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
1045 (&handle_m4): No longer define the m4_warnings.
1046 At each run, extract and report the warnings.
1047 Always cache the result, including if the exit status is on
1048 failure, since if nothing changes, we should result in the same
1049 failure, hence we can use the cache.
1050 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_warning_ifelse, _m4_warning_ifelse)
1051 (_m4_warning_error_ifelse, __m4_warning_error_ifelse, _m4_warn):
1053 (m4_warn): Redefine as a do-nothing: it is its invocation that
1054 matters, as warnings are now reported via traces.
1055 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DIAGNOSE): Don't make it a copy of
1056 the contents of m4_warn: make it _call_ m4_warn, so that tracing
1057 the latter reveals calls to the former.
1061 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Use existing warning categories.
1063 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1065 * bin/autoreconf.pm (Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):

1070 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&find_file): Walk the @include in
1072 * lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm: Doc typos.
1073 (&parse_warnings): Accept a list of warning requests.
1074 (&usage): Return a string, not a side effect.
1075 (cross): New warning category.

1092 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1094 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
1095 * bin/autom4te: Adjust.
1096 In particular, be Autoconf tools are really silent when properly
1097 working, bind the verbosity of the 'note' channel to $verbose.
1098 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &mtime, &update_file)
1099 (&xsystem, &contents): Remove, since they are exported by...
1100 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: this.
1102 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&up_to_date_p): Move to...
1103 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: here.

1158 2003-08-14 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1160 * lib/autotestgeneral.m4 (AT_INIT): Reformat test summary line to print
1161 DESCRIPTION rather than FILE and LINE. Shorten result to fit in new,
1162 shorter column three. Add DESCRIPTION to log file content.
1164 2003-08-13 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1166 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Correct typo in final status
1169 2003-08-12 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>

1183 in Bash 2.01. Problem reported by Brian Gough in
1184 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-07/msg00106.html>.
1186 2003-07-25 John W. Eaton <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu>
1188 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Also ignore
1189 -lcrt1.o, for OS X. (trivial change)
1191 2003-07-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1193 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Wrap the '#define inline ...'
1194 inside '#ifndef __cplusplus'. Problem reported by
1197 2003-07-06 Bill Clarke <llib@computer.org>
1199 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): Cast pointer to
1200 'long', not 'int', for benefit of Sun's recent C++ compilers
1201 (trivial change). See:

1218 From Gareth McCaughan.
1220 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1222 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Report a single config.log,
1223 not all of them. This fixes 1. the fact that when testing
1224 Autoconf there are many many config.log, 2. the incorrect use of
1225 top_srcdir to find config.log.
1226 Don't mix the detailed output of failed test with the summary of
1227 failures. Rather, append detailed log afterwards.
1229 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1231 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Adjust to the verbose being
1232 always run: output config.log on $at_group_log.
1234 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1236 * tests/torture.at (#define header templates): Don't use quotes in
1237 C++ comments as it puzzles Emacs' sh font-lock-mode.

1252 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Extend test program to get an
1253 error from OSF 4.0 Compaq cc in its default almost-ANSI mode, thereby

1314 2003-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1316 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Rewrite exit code processing.
1317 Do not call `_exit()', simply modify `$?'.
1318 (xsystem): Reset $! before running system, and check it afterward.
1319 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Expect exit status
1320 63 for version mismatches.
1322 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1324 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Prefer "TAB-SP" to "SP-TAB", because of
1325 Emacs' dangerous whitespace.el behavior (smashing "useless" spaces in
1326 the middle of a line).
1327 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Likewise.
1328 Remove useless spaces in comments.

1344 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1346 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION):
1347 Remove `#include <stdlib.h>' from the list; we should never
1348 make confdefs.h include <stdlib.h> or <cstdlib>, because the
1349 resulting namespace pollution would cause other tests to fail.
1350 Configure scripts run with some older versions of g++ and HP's
1351 aCC would fail due to such an #include. Problems reported by
1352 Matthew Mueller in <http://bugs.debian.org/120704> and by
1354 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-05/msg00063.html>.
1355 In the test, use the test declaration before including <stdlib.h>,
1356 as that's closer to how it'll be used.
1358 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1360 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): ucred.h.
1363 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1365 Overhaul Autotest's logging: generate separate log files
1366 in testsuite.dir/NNN/testsuite.log, and append them to
1367 testsuite.log instead of re-running the test verbosely.
1369 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use a single redirected
1370 file descriptor, write 0 to at_status_file instead of setting
1371 at_status=0, initialize some new variables (at_status_file,
1372 at_group_log, at_suite_log, at_tee_pipe). Remove the cruft
1373 to rerun the tests, instead append the at_group_log to the
1374 at_suite_log when a test fails.
1375 (AT_SETUP): pipe the test case's output into at_tee_pipe,
1376 with the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD redirected to stdout.
1377 (AT_CLEANUP): save the output status in $at_status_file
1378 and restore it, redirect the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD back to
1380 (AT_CHECK): since tests are run with a redirected stdout,
1381 and used to be re-run in verbose mode, turn some $at_verbose
1382 into echo, and don't redirect the output of testing stdout
1385 * lib/autotest/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Update
1386 the name of the debugging directory and information about

1506 2003-05-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1508 Don't try to be smart with aclocal 1.8+ because (i) aclocal no
1509 longer updates aclocal.m4 if useless, (ii) if a file m4_included
1510 by aclocal.m4 is changed it might require the importing of another
1511 m4 extension file, i.e., aclocal must be run.
1513 * bin/autoreconf.in (&run_aclocal, $aclocal_supports_force): New.
1514 (&parse_args): Use --force with aclocal if required and supported.

1528 2003-04-29 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1530 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_KEYWORDS): Don't use a comma as the
1531 seperator with m4_append_uniq(). It doesn't work.
1532 (AT_CLEANUP): Add `;' to end of at_help_all.
1533 (AT_INIT): Allow --keywords to be specified more than once. When

1535 seperators to ensure a complete keyword match. Alter at_prev handling
1536 to support the new --keywords behavior.
1538 2003-04-27 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
1540 * doc/autoconf.texi: Make the dir entries in the autoconf manual
1541 align better with others. I also made some of the individual

1631 HELP_TUNING,HELP_OTHER,HELP_END,PREPARE_TESTS,TESTS_END): Define and
1632 use new diversions in preparation for accepting new arguments and

1689 (Automake): Automake 1.5+ no longer requires special tools to be
1690 present on the developer's host.
1692 2003-02-26 Richard Dawe <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>
1694 * bin/autoheader.in (BEGIN): For DJGPP SHELL may not be set
1695 to a shell that can handle redirection or quoting correctly.
1696 Override SHELL with the shell detected by configure.
1697 Use of $^O suggested by Tim van Holder.
1698 * bin/autom4te.in (BEGIN): Likewise.
1699 * bin/autoreconf.in (BEGIN): Likewise.
1700 * bin/autoscan.in (BEGIN): Likewise.

1730 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): test -n -> test -z,
1731 to fix a mismatch between example and discussion.
1733 2003-02-24 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
1735 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Add notes on printf

1745 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): When
1746 compiler says yeah, but preproc says nope, compiler is right.
1747 Conversely, prompt the reader to send a bug report to the
1748 maintainers of the package, not of Autoconf.
1750 2003-02-20 Klee Dienes <kdienes@apple.com>
1752 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Properly

1757 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Quote
1761 2002-12-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1763 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Define $1 to an
1764 innocuous variant befor including <limits.h> or <assert.h>. This
1765 works around a bug reported by Albert Chin: HP-UX 11i
1766 (and earlier versions) have a <limits.h> that declares
1767 gettimeofday and many other functions.
1769 2002-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1773 * NEWS, configure.ac: Update version.
1775 * doc/fdl.texi: Upgrade to FDL version 1.2.
1777 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Use the function f
1778 nontrivially in main's body, so that f's external declaration is

1781 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014508.html>.
1783 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C),
1784 _AC_PROG_PREPROC_WORKS_IFELSE): Use <limits.h> if __STDC__ is
1785 defined, to support freestanding compilers. This should fix the
1786 bug reported by Momchil Velkov in
1787 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014490.html>.
1789 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Fix typos (insert empty
1790 arg, AC_DEFINE -> AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED) in documentation for

1797 the location has moved.
1799 2002-12-02 Martin Frydl <martin@systinet.com>
1801 * bin/autom4te.in (at_flatten): rewritten to avoid M4 problem when
1802 \(.*\) match is too long and there is something more to be checked.
1803 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014524.html>

1821 Update from masters.
1823 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1825 * Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.:
1826 (po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
1827 .c and the .h files that they generate. This fixes the bug
1828 reported by Tim Van Holder in:
1829 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-November/001352.html>
1830 Look for N_ as well as for _. Try to avoid matching #define for
1834 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1836 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Compiling several files at once.
1837 From Paul Eggert and Albert Chin-A-Young.
1839 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1841 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Solitary backslashes.

1844 2002-11-14 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
1846 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Initialize f=$1 rather
1847 than assigning in main, to avoid HP cc +O3 optimizing it away.
1849 2002-11-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
1851 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Add -q
1852 option. Process --recheck after parsing all options. Pass -q
1853 option to configure on --recheck.
1854 (AC_OUTPUT): Pass -q from configure to config.status.
1855 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Strip -q from
1856 arguments to record.
1857 * doc/autoconf.texi (config.status Invocation): Document
1858 config.status -q option.

1885 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
1887 2002-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1889 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (_AH_TEMPLATE_OLD, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
1891 We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
1892 avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
1893 AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
1894 [Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not
1895 otherwise available.])
1896 We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with \. The
1897 old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
1898 did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
1899 was not compatible with Libtool.

1903 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set the following variables,

1944 `$(MAKE)' instead of '${MAKE}' to emphasize that we refer to the
1945 Make variable, not a shell variable.
1946 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
1948 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1950 * bin/autom4te.in (load_configuration): Reject #args out of any
1953 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1955 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_MSG_LOG_CONFTEST): New.
1956 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, _AC_LINK_IFELSE)
1957 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Use it.
1958 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT):

1975 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1977 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Templates): Put also in words what the

1981 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1983 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_VFORK): Include stdlib.h and
1985 sparc_address_test returns void.
1986 Use it with an argument, as prototyped.
1989 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1991 * doc/autoconf.texi (Subdirectories): Cygnus dirs have

2353 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run autopoint before the first
2354 aclocal invocation, as Gettext macros might not be visible to

2576 2002-09-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
2578 * doc/autoconf.texi: Review grammar and punctuation.
2580 2002-09-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2582 * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix minor formatting, spelling, and
2584 (Defining Symbols): Explain that AC_DEFINE(var) defaults to 1, but
2585 AC_DEFINE(var,,description) does not; and the AC_DEFINE(var) case
2588 2002-09-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2590 * doc/autoconf.texi (Questions): Rename as...
2592 (Defining Directories): New.
2594 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2596 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Update.
2597 Suggested by Nishio Futoshi.
2599 2002-09-09 Koji Arai <JCA02266@nifty.ne.jp>
2601 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Use `@@' where a
2602 plain `@' is wanted.
2604 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2606 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Keep the
2607 `duplicates', since the algorithm was too naive and could keep
2608 `--prefix=1 --prefix=2 --prefix=1' as `--prefix=1 --prefix=2', and
2609 keep `--prefix foo --prefix bar' as `--prefix foo bar'.
2610 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
2611 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Exercise these
2614 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2616 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use $srcdir when
2617 looking for a replacement file.
2618 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check that the
2619 directory is relative.
2620 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Functions): Clarify the replacement
2621 directory definition.
2622 Reported by Andreas Schwab and Jim Meyering.
2624 2002-09-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2626 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Clarify what
2627 precious variables are.
2628 Suggested by Pontus Skoeld.
2630 2002-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2632 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
2633 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Since we don't only depend on
2634 configure.ac variables (such as VERSION etc.), but also on prefix
2635 and so forth, depend on Makefile, not configure.ac.
2636 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
2637 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
2639 2002-09-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2641 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): HP-UX trailing backslashes
2642 doesn't seem to be confined to ia64, just say "some versions".
2644 2002-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2646 * Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Remove pdf targets, handled by
2648 * Makefile.am (maintainer-clean-local): Remove.
2649 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove COPYING.
2651 2002-09-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2653 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Remove obsolete
2654 example for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE. Problem reported by Marcus
2657 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2659 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.53d.
2660 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Require 1.6c, i.e., CVS Automake
2661 as of today, on Automake's team suggestion.
2663 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2667 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2669 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't honor AUTOM4TE_PATH and
2671 * configure.ac: Disable SITE_MACRO_DIR.
2673 2002-09-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
2675 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS): Reflect renaming: s/am/ac/,
2676 i.e., change am_cv_sys_posix_termios to ac_cv_sys_posix_termios.
2677 Also, tweak grammar: s/make sure to/be sure to/.
2679 2002-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2681 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Explain why logical
2682 directory names are generally preferable to physical names.
2684 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2686 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/die/error/.
2687 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
2688 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
2689 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use error instead of die.
2691 2002-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2693 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_egrep, au_exclude_egrep): Use
2694 ordinary shell concatenation rather than echo+tr+sed command that
2695 runs afoul of a long-line-related sed bug in Solaris 8.
2697 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning -> --warnings.
2699 * bin/autoconf.as: Work even if "ls" outputs "FOO not found" to
2700 stdout, as traditional "ls" does.
2701 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT,
2702 _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Likewise.
2703 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add "ls".
2705 * bin/autoconf.as: Add --prepend-include option. This patch was
2706 applied to bin/autoconf.in in the 2002-07-17 patch by Mark D. Roth,
2707 but bin/autoconf.in is generated automatically from bin/autoconf.as.
2709 * bin/autoconf.in, configure: Regenerate.
2711 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention
2712 ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, PS1, PS2, PS4. Index PWD.
2714 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Unset ENV, MAIL,
2715 MAILPATH and set PS1, PS2, PS4 to default values, to work
2716 around bug in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh reported by Bruce Lilly.
2717 For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as
2718 the Autoconf documentation specifies; fall back to "unset" only if
2719 this fails. Use a shell for-loop for this rather than an m4 loop,
2720 to shorten the output script.
2722 2002-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2724 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention POSIX
2725 1003.1-2001's requirements for CDPATH. Give a simpler workaround
2726 for the CDPATH problem. Document PWD.
2727 (Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and
2728 "ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming
2729 to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset"
2730 example, since the old example is now out of date.
2732 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Reject FOO if "cd
2733 FOO" and "ls FOO" talk about different directories; this catches
2734 problems when POSIX 1003.1-2001 "cd" fails due to symlink
2737 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use AS_UNSET instead
2738 of rolling our own unset.
2739 (_AS_PREPARE): $as_unset CDPATH instead of AS_UNSETting it, since
2740 in practice we needn't worry about CDPATH if unset doesn't work.
2742 * Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, bin/Makefile.in,
2743 config/Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in,
2744 lib/Autom4te/Makefile.in, lib/autoconf/Makefile.in,
2745 lib/autoscan/Makefile.in, lib/autotest/Makefile.in,
2746 lib/emacs/Makefile.in, lib/m4sugar/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in,
2747 tests/Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake 1.6.3.
2749 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/mkinstalldirs:
2752 * configure: Regenerate with self.
2754 2002-08-30 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

2764 2002-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2766 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&xqx): New.
2767 (&xsystem): Use WIFEXITED and WEXITSTATUS instead of decoding $? by
2768 hand, which is not portable.
2770 * bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
2771 Use &error instead of die.
2772 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies):
2775 2002-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2777 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove fc from the
2778 default list of compilers to try, since it was long ago superseded
2779 by the ksh fc builtin. Suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
2781 2002-07-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2783 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): End the option table,
2784 fixing a bug introduced by the previous patch.
2785 (Limitations of Make): Add a 'target lookup' subentry in the
2786 'VPATH' entry. Rewrite all `make' occurences as `@command{make}'.
2788 2002-07-29 Mark D. Roth <roth@feep.net>
2790 * bin/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
2791 options and use $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
2792 * doc/autoconf.texi: Remove documentation of autom4te
2793 --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir options and document
2794 use of $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
2795 * lib/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
2796 arguments from each language section.
2798 2002-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2800 * doc/install.texi: Include copyright symbol in copyright notice.
2802 * Makefile.am (MAKEINFO): Remove; it's a user-specified macro.
2804 (AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): New macro.
2805 * doc/Makefile.am (MAKEINFO, AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): Likewise.
2806 * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Use the new macros.
2807 Use -o rather than --output, since "missing" does not grok --output.
2809 2002-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2811 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Escaped newlines in
2812 comments do not always work. Never trust the exit status of
2815 2002-07-24 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2817 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
2818 Untabify, since tabs are not enjoyed by texi2dvi and makeinfo.
2820 2002-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2822 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE):
2823 Use PATH="/nonexistent;.", not PATH=".;.", as FreeBSD ksh2002
2824 apparently treats PATH="nonexistent" as if it contained ".".
2825 Bug reported by Stefan `Sec' Zehl.
2827 2002-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2829 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention the special

3075 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Require it
3076 instead of AC_MBSTATE_T, which never existed.
3078 2002-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3080 * doc/autoconf.texi (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): Specify the
3081 version of Autoconf that is discussed.
3083 2002-05-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3085 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove cf77 and cft77
3086 from the default list of compilers to try. Suggested by
3088 * NEWS: Document the above.
3089 * doc/autoconf.texi (Fortran 77 Compiler): Don't suggest cf77.
3091 2002-05-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3093 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): Work correctly even if
3094 the member is itself an aggregate. Bug reported by Sergey Poznyakoff.
3095 This improves on an earlier suggestion by H. Peter Anvin.
3097 2002-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3099 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH now tests only for POSIX compatibility.
3100 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU also tests for GNU extensions.
3101 Both macros now accept an optional source-dir arg.
3102 New macro AC_GNU_SOURCE to define _GNU_SOURCE.
3104 * NEWS: Document this.
3105 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, UNIX Variants): Likewise.
3107 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): New macro.
3108 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Use it. Test only for POSIX conformance,
3109 not for GNU extensions; this undoes part of the 2000-11-03 change,
3110 reverting to 2.13-compatible behavior.
3111 Add new optional argument DIR.
3112 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): New macro.
3114 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_GNU_SOURCE): New macro.
3116 2002-05-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3118 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ):
3119 Don't require AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS. The test is unnecessary,
3120 and it causes a 'test' syntax error if it fails.
3121 Bug reported by Stephen Gildea.
3123 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED):
3124 If prototypes are supported, use them to check this at compile-time,
3125 instead of trying to check it at run-time. If we must do a run-time
3126 check, assume that setvbuf is standard when cross-compiling, as
3127 nonstandard setvbuf occurs only on ancient and unlikely hosts.
3128 Bug reported by Paul D. Smith.
3130 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Add optional
3131 argument specifying location of getloadavg.c. This removes a
3132 FIXME. This idea was taken from Jim Meyering's implementation in
3134 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Document this.
3135 Also, mention HAVE_NLIST_H rather than NLIST_STRUCT, since
3136 that's what the code does; this fixes a bug reported by
3139 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3141 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Rewrite to use Gettext's
3142 autopoint instead of gettextize.
3143 ($uses_alocal): Rename as...
3144 ($uses_aclocal): this.
3145 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.
3146 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
3148 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3150 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_map_sep): New.
3152 2002-04-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3154 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't age aclocal.m4's input
3155 files to be 1 second older; just set them to be the same time.
3156 Also, sleep 1 second after the first aclocal, to work around
3157 problems with sub-second time stamps on the input files.
3159 2002-04-29 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org>
3161 * doc/autoconf.texi: Mention "set -e -x" lossage
3162 under node "Limitations of Builtins".
3164 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3166 * doc/install.texi: Better wording for setting variables when
3168 From Christian Cornelssen.
3170 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3172 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): If testsuite itself is rewritten because
3173 of lack of $LINENO support, then the test will compare the $LINENO
3174 in testsuite vs. the lineno in the test file. This is wrong, of
3176 Be sure to protect it.
3177 Reported by Patrick Welche.
3179 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3181 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Typo.
3182 Reported by Vladimir Volovich.
3184 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3186 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't let aclocal.m4 be older
3187 than some of the input files, hence, on the second run of aclocal,
3188 if some of its input are younger, make them older.
3189 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
3191 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3193 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): sed and `!'.
3194 Thanks to Paul Eggert.
3196 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3198 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Let ac_subst_files
3199 and ac_subst_vars be sh variables containing the list of
3200 AC_SUBST_FILES'ed and AC_SUBST'ed identifiers. Output them in the
3202 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use them to log them.
3203 (_AC_SUBST, _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM): Remove.
3204 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE): Instead of buliding the
3205 _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM, store the list of output files/variables in
3206 _AC_SUBST_FILES and _AC_SUBST_VARS.
3207 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
3209 2002-04-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3211 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Run automake after autoconf and
3212 autoheader, so that automake does not complain about a missing
3213 config.h.in that was to be created.
3215 2002-04-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3217 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning takes an argument.
3220 2002-04-22 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
3222 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Remove gmon.out
3223 and bb.out when cleaning up.

3267 Minor spelling and grammar fixes.
3269 * doc/autoconf.texi: Follow the outline suggested in the GNU
3270 Sample Texts sections of the Texinfo 4.2 manual. Most
3271 importantly, this makes sure that the copyright notices appear in
3272 all output formats. You probably need Texinfo 4.2 to generate

3301 * bin/autoupdate.in (handle_autoconf_macros): Honor AU_DEFUNs
3302 from aclocal.m4 too.

3311 workaround for ${1+"$@"}.
3312 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Explain it.
3313 From Oliver Kiddle and Peter Stephenson.
3315 Have M4sh perform minimal shell sanitizing.

3322 * tests/m4sh.at (AT_DATA_LINENO): Use _AS_PREPARE.
3324 Adjust Autoconf and Autotest.

3335 * tests/wrapsh.as: New, precursor of wrapsh.in.
3336 * tests/Makefile.am: Include lib/freeze.mk to get the dependencies
3337 on Autotest and M4sh.

3361 directories when descending in a SUBDIRS.

3364 2002-04-04 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>

3367 contains no literal separators.

3371 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_CONFIG_FILE, _AC_CONFIG_HEADER)

3373 Use dnl, not the KILL diversion.
3375 (AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS)
3376 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): here.
3378 Don't use the KILL diversion, as it kills spurious output, which
3379 results in failures being hidden.
3380 Use m4_defn where appropriate.
3381 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): Kill the real bug: a spurious parenthesis
3382 after the second argument.
3384 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf, Autotest, M4sh): Don't pass --warning
3385 syntax, as it is provided by M4sugar.

3432 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BASENAME_PREPARE): New macro.

3458 * doc/autoconf.texi (Here-Documents): Mention Solaris 8 dtksh
3459 problem with here-document buffer boundaries.
3461 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Unset ENV and BASH_ENV
3462 when reinvoking the shell, to work around problems with installers
3463 who put strange things like "cd" commands in their environments.

3488 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add mkdir section.
3490 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): New macro.
3491 (AS_MKDIR_P): Require it. Use mkdir -p if available, falling
3492 back on AS_DIRNAME to compute prefixes otherwise; this is
3493 roughly what mkinstalldirs does. That way, we need not have
3494 our own filename disassembler. The old disassembler did not
3495 work with Solaris 8 dtksh, which is ksh Version M-12/28/93d.
3497 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP):
3498 Create at_test_all by a series of assignments,
3499 not by a single assignment of a long string. The latter causes ksh
3500 version 11/16/88g to silently misbehave on OpenServer 5.0.6a,
3501 presumably because of a buffer overrun.
3503 2002-03-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3505 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (at_times_skip):
3506 Renamed from at_times. Now a boolean.
3507 ksh93 Version M-12/28/93d doesn't like 'x=times; $x'; it
3508 says 'times: not found'.

3563 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Protect us from corrupted file

3600 (Specifying Names, Canonicalizing): Remove all references to the
3601 backward compatibility hooks. Rather, collect them all into...
3602 (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): this new section.
3603 * doc/install.texi (System Type): Ditto.
3604 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Explicitly state
3605 that `--host' implies cross-compilation.
3607 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3609 * doc/autoconf.texi (Evaluation Macros): New.
3610 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_lquote): Remove, it is totally
3612 (_m4_foreach): Define the variant with immediate evaluation so
3613 that it contains exactly the items, not an expression which
3614 evaluation is the current item.
3615 (m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Don't over quote them.
3617 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3619 Instead of having stacking `shift's evaluated at the end, let
3620 `foreach' loops immediately evaluate them.
3622 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote, m4_dquote): Use $@ rather than
3623 $*. This is the n-th time I change my mind, but hopefully this is
3626 (m4_text_wrap): Use m4_foreach, which is finally correct _and_
3628 (m4_foreach_quoted, m4_car_quoted, _m4_foreach_quoted): Remove, as
3629 it was only a hack for m4_text_wrap.
3630 (m4_car2): Remove, replaced by...
3632 (_m4_foreach): Adjust.
3633 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Adjust, and use
3634 m4_bpatsubst for clarification.
3636 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3638 * doc/autoconf.texi (Changequote is Evil): New.

3685 Fix Autoconf PR/207:
3686 AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM fails with dashed program names
3688 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Just use a fresh
3689 variable when looking for the prefix program.

3701 Reported by Zack Weinberg.

3721 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Check non-GCC
3722 cross-compilers, too. This undoes some of the most recent change
3725 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3727 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Use it, instead of WRAPPERS,
3728 to make sure they are up to date when `check' is run.
3730 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3732 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Document

3739 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3741 Implement `autom4te --freeze'.

3744 * lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4, lib/autotest/general.m4,
3745 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Don't include files given by autom4te.
3747 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3749 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Implement `frozen files are
3750 optional are the sum of the previous files on the command line'.
3751 Also, pass `--reload-state=' on them, so...
3753 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest, Autoconf): Rely on M4sh.
3754 (M4sh): Rely on M4sugar.
3755 (Autotest, M4sh, M4sugar): Use frozen files.
3757 2002-01-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3764 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Map non
3765 alphanumeric to `-' instead of `_'.
3767 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3769 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Split into two tests: one
3770 for plain code, the other for cross-compilation code. The latter
3771 is now run with GCC only.

3792 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3794 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't be ridiculous: adjust
3795 AUTOTEST_PATH *after* it was set.
3796 Don't put `.' in the PATH: the user should be precise and `./' if
3797 needed. In addition, given that the test suite does some `cd', if
3798 `.' is in the path, the `tested programs' sections will report
3799 programs found in the test suite's directory, while during the
3800 tests (performed in their own directory), these programs are no
3801 longer visible. In other words, the results is confusing and
3803 * tests/m4sh.at: Adjust: don't rely on `.' being in the PATH.

3817 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): Don't expect $SHELL to be
3818 Bourne. Use /bin/sh.
3819 From Andreas Buening.

3850 Autoconf::General::getopt with non valid options.

3854 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Initialize
3855 $ac_cv_exeext so we don't use an old, invalid, cached value.
3857 2002-01-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3868 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't create
3869 package.m4, since is really depends upon configure.ac, not
3871 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
3872 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
3873 EXTRA_DIST it since its a source.
3875 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3877 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move the AC_SUBST
3878 of PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_TARNAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, PACKAGE_STRING,
3879 and PACKAGE_BUGREPORT from here...
3880 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): to here, since it is unrelated to the
3882 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): AC_DEFINE these symbols.
3883 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use AT_PACKAGE_*, not PACKAGE_*.
3884 (AT_INIT): No longer catch `^PACKAGE_(BUGREPORT|STRING)$'.
3885 * tests/tools.at (autoheader): Adjust.
3886 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_DEFINES): Adjust.
3888 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3907 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3909 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): We cleaning up the
3910 trailing files, don't apply `-rf' to files which might not be
3911 created by configure (core, core.*, and *.core), but just `rm -f'.
3912 Suggested by Jonathan Kamens.
3914 2001-12-14 Aaron M. Ucko <amu@alum.mit.edu>
3916 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Avoid duplicates in `$ac_configure_args'.

3920 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove configure.
3922 2001-12-13 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
3924 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Rename buildpath to
3925 abs_builddir, top_buildpath to abs_top_builddir, srcpath to
3926 abs_srcdir, top_srcpath to abs_top_srcdir.
3927 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.

3938 2001-12-12 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

3950 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file, &scan_sh_file, &scan_makefile):
3951 Remove $filepath, useless.
3952 (&scan_makefile): Don't remove the $(FOO), ${FOO} and @FOO@
3953 variables, they are really part of the tokens.
3954 Split the input line on spaces and then look for tokens.
3955 Now autoscan ceases to ask for AC_PROG_LEX for the package Bison
3956 because of `lex$U.$(OBJEXT)'.
3957 (&scan_files): Use "@list" instead of join.
3958 * doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.fns.
3960 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3962 * tests/autoreconf.in, tests/autom4te.in, tests/autoupdate.in:
3963 Remove, replaced by...
3964 * tests/wrappl.in: Be common for all the Perl executables.
3965 In particular autoscan and autoheader want -I.
3966 * configure.ac: Adjust.

3969 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3982 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3984 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_c_file): Fix the handling of C comments.
3985 Before, having a line containing the opening of a multi line
3986 comment made the whole line be ignored.
3988 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3991 (testsuite Scripts): Be one of its subsection.

3996 Test groups are now run two directories deeper.
3998 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Replace srcdir,
3999 top_srcdir and top_builddir with at_srcdir, at_top_srcdir and
4001 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Compute srcdir,
4002 top_srcdir, builddir and top_builddir.
4003 Use `at_*dir' relatively to the directory containing the
4004 suite, use `*dir' when relatively to the current group dir.

4013 2001-11-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4015 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Add an example of `case
4016 $host' usage so people quit using `case $target' everywhere.
4018 2001-11-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4020 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Englishoes
4021 spotted by Jim Meyering.
4023 2001-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4025 This patch implements a `long double' suggestion by Oliver Kiddle.
4027 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array
4028 static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time
4029 and the compiler supports dynamic arrays. Change its name from
4030 `_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes.
4031 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time
4032 test. Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no
4033 better than double. Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86.
4034 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above.
4037 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4039 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Protect from autom4te's substitution by
4041 * tests/tools.at: Don't protect dnl, AT_DATA_M4SH does.
4043 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4045 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): After having run the test
4046 group, go back to the initial directory, not to at_suite_dir.
4048 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4050 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_M4SUGAR, AT_DATA_M4SH)
4051 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Also protect @&t@ from autom4te.
4052 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF, AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Pass no --include
4054 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Use absolute paths.
4055 (_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Create aclocal.m4 with AC_STATE_SAVE in it.
4056 The problem is still the old one: there is no means in M4 (that I
4057 know about) to create a defining macro, because there is no means
4058 to create `$1' etc., therefore, the defining macro ``swallows''
4059 all the arguments meant to the defined macro.
4061 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4063 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): New.
4064 (AT_CONFIGURE_AC): Output the definition of AC_STATE_SAVE in
4066 * tests/aclocal.m4: Remove, as it is no longer used.
4068 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4070 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Change `tests?' into `groups?' in
4071 variable names when referring to a single test group, or to
4072 `suite' when referring to the whole test suite.
4073 `at_last_test' is removed: m4 compute at_format itself.
4074 (at_stdout, at_stder1, at_stderr): New variables.
4075 (AT_CHECK): Use them.
4077 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4079 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Be sure to put `.', relative,
4081 Create `testsuite.dir/003/run' instead of `testsuite.003'.
4082 Do it as soon as a test fails, don't wait till the end of the test
4084 Don't remove $as_me.[0-9]*, since these files no longer exist.
4086 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4088 * tests/tools.at: Use absolute paths, since we are no longer run
4091 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4093 Now that tests are running in their own private dir, there is no
4094 need to list the files to remove at the end of tests groups.
4096 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE, AT_CLEANUP_FILES):
4097 (AT_data_files, at_data_files): Remove.
4098 (AT_CLEANUP, AT_DATA): Simplify.
4100 Remove the group dir if !debug && !failed.
4101 * tests/atspecific.m4: Adjust.
4103 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4105 Start a new layout for Autotest: `testsuite' creates
4106 `testsuite.dir' in which the at-check-line etc. files are to be
4107 found, and `testsuite.dir/003' where the test group 3 is run.
4109 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): at_tests_dir,
4110 at_check_line_file, at_format, at_test_normalized, at_group_dir
4112 Create the directories.
4113 Use absolute paths for at- files.
4116 2001-11-11 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>
4118 * m4sugar.m4 (_m4_foreach): Make it linear instead quadratic.

4129 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Define __PROTOTYPES too.
4130 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): AC_C_PROTOTYPES now defines

4151 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4153 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use
4154 AC_TRY_EVAL to run $LEX, not AC_TRY_COMMAND. This validates the
4155 definition used by Automake where LEX is +/- "${missing} lex" and
4156 `missing' itself contains variables.
4158 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4160 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Push KILL at the end.
4161 Now that M4sh pushes BODY, the comments were output at the end of
4164 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4166 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run aclocal before tracing, so
4167 that we can trace macros from aclocal.m4.
4168 Trace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, not AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, since the latter is
4169 obsoleted, and redirect to the former anyway.
4170 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
4172 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4174 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): AC_CONFIG_SUBIDRS are to be

4177 instead of successive calls to autoconf.
4178 Add a nonexistent subdirectory to exercise the patch above.
4179 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
4181 2001-11-08 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4183 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note HP-UX cc
4184 doesn't accept .S files.

4222 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: (&catfile, &canonfile)
4223 (&file_name_is_absolute): New, wrappers around routines from
4225 Use and export them.
4226 (&find_configure_ac): Optionally take a directory where to look at.
4227 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Trim the configure.ac part of

4238 Add basename, dirname, and fileparse.
4240 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Fix call to fileparse.
4241 Don't look for aclocal flags if we already know aclocal is not
4243 Move aclocal.m4t only if it exists.
4244 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
4246 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4248 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Work only on the configure.ac
4249 passed on command line, defaulting to ./configure.ac if present.
4250 (&maybe_autoreconf, File::Find): Remove, unused.
4251 (&autoreconf): If autoconf is not used, don't try to trace.
4253 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4255 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52g.
4257 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4261 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4272 Don't run libtoolize and gettextize if --install is not given.
4274 2001-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4276 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): _AS_CR_PREPARE needs to
4277 be invoked before _AS_LINENO_PREPARE.
4278 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use as_cr_digits and as_cr_alnum rather
4279 than character ranges.
4281 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix NLS before
4282 invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if
4283 possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional
4285 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above.
4287 2001-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4289 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Do not surround body
4290 with {}, as that triggers a bug in Bash 2.05.
4292 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use Sed rather than
4293 Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple
4294 instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for
4295 other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a
4296 check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing
4297 the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for
4298 output and chmod failures.
4300 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document

4313 * configure.ac: Adjust.
4315 2001-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4317 * NEWS, README, configure.ac, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
4318 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm:
4319 Require Perl 5.005_03 instead of just 5.005, as some tests fail
4322 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document some
4323 more LINENO gotchas, particularly with respect to the Awk+Sed hack.
4325 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): New macro.
4326 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use it instead of shell eval, since
4327 eval $LINENO is not portable in practice.
4329 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4331 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (backname): New.

4343 2001-10-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4345 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R):
4346 Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
4347 and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
4348 POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.
4349 Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to.
4350 Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*.
4352 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions):
4353 Document the above changes. Also, document the fact that
4354 AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R defines HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R.
4356 * NEWS: Mention HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R -> STRERROR_R_CHAR_P.
4358 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4360 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): The name of

4372 Be sure to honor --force with gettextize.
4374 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
4376 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4378 * bin/autoheader.in ($localdir, $m4, $SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX):
4380 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Do not run gettextize when
4381 `intl' is already present, as it refuses unless --force.
4382 (&parse_args): Use -I, --include instead of the old Autoconf
4384 ($localdir, $autoconf_dir): Remove.
4386 (&maybe_autoreconf): New, to preserve $_ for File::Find.
4388 2001-10-19 Jens Petersen <petersen@redhat.com>
4390 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_AWK): Prefer gawk to mawk.

4409 configure.ac being studied.
4411 2001-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

4414 long, to work around a bug in the HP C compiler version HP92453-01
4417 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_DIRNAME): Use 'dirname' if that works.
4418 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): New macro.
4419 (AS_BASENAME_SED): Do not assume GNU sed semantics.
4420 (AS_BASENAME): Use 'basename' if that works; then try 'expr';
4421 and fall back on 'sed' only if the other two fail. This makes
4422 AS_BASENAME act more like AS_DIRNAME.
4423 (as_me): Shell-quote the argument of AS_BASENAME, in case $0
4424 contains white space.
4425 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR):
4426 Use AS_DIRNAME, since I think it's now DOS-friendly.
4427 * tests/m4sh.at (DIRNAME_TEST): New arg $3.
4428 Allow "dirname //FOO" to return either / or //, as POSIX allows

4479 bother with $force since...

4553 (AT_INIT): Replace AC_PLAIN_SCRIPT with AS_INIT invocation,
4554 include handle the m4_pattern_*, no longer push the
4555 BODY diversion nor set the /bin/sh line, AS_INIT does it.
4556 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
4557 * tests/base.at: Adjust the tests to use AS_INIT.
4558 * tests/tools.at (AT_DATA_FORBIDDEN): New.

4575 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Don't invoke $(TESTSUITE) if it

4579 2001-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4581 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Look in the path
4582 iff we are a bareword.
4583 Reported by Raja R Harinath.
4585 2001-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4695 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoconf Invocation): Fix the example:
4696 AC_TRY_RUN is about compilation, not shell commands.

4883 * doc/autoconf.texi (Common Shell Constructs): New node,
4884 documenting AS_DIRNAME.
4885 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Refer to it when discussing dirname.
4886 Also, update discussion of POSIX standard to reflect latest draft.

4889 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Also support negative values, down to LONG_MIN.
4891 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
4892 Do not pass a first argument with leading '-'
4893 to expr, by parenthesizing initial integers that might be negative.
4895 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_GETPGRP
4896 now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
4899 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
4900 (AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
4901 whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to

4919 Add test for AS_BASENAME.
4920 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
4921 added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
4922 Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
4923 * tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
4925 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
4926 the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
4928 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4930 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in
4931 the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS invocation.
4932 This also solves the name clash problems.
4933 Don't set the package's ID.

4935 No longer to be shipped.
4936 (version.in): Remove.

4941 the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
4942 Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
4943 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
4944 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.

4968 Reported by Wayne Chapeskie <waynec@spinnaker.com>.
4970 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4972 Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4
4973 or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
4974 fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
4975 when they don't exist.
4977 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
4978 not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
4981 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
4982 version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
4983 AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if

5028 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Create and remove
5029 `$as_me.[0-9]+' instead of `debug-[0-9]+.sh', so that multiple
5030 test suites can cohabit.
5032 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5034 * tests/mktests.sh: Don't output banners for empty test files.
5036 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5140 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5142 Be ready to handle filenames as stupid as `dnl.at', for if even
5143 the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
5145 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
5146 excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
5148 And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:

5174 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5176 CVS GNU M4 doesn't like `undefine(undefined)'.
5178 * bin/autoupdate.in (&handle_m4_macros, &handle_autoconf_macros):
5179 New, extracted from main.
5180 Use IO::File wherever possible.
5181 (input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp.
5182 Therefore be a quoted heredoc.
5183 Don't invoke `_au_disable', since ac was not loaded, but just

5200 Reported by Nicolas Joly.

5204 * doc/autoconf.texi: Don't promote non `m4_*' M4 macros.

5211 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5213 * doc/autoconf.texi (Quadrigraphs): Document `@&t@'.
5214 (testsuite Scripts): There is no such thing as `atconfig.in'.
5215 And actually one diagram is missing: test suite runtime.
5217 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5219 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file): Browse the includes in the
5222 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5225 to m4sugar was lacking!
5227 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5270 Adjust to the new autoheader messages.

5274 * bin/autoheader.in: Handle the acconfig.h etc. junk files.

5283 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in: Adjust.
5284 Drop AC_MACRODIR dead for real.

5286 `autoheader: `config.hin' is created'.
5287 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Check autoheader.
5289 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5297 Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
5298 Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
5299 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
5300 There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
5301 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'.
5302 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.

5306 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5322 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
5323 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
5324 `abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
5325 * man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
5326 find the executables for it.
5327 * tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
5328 * tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
5330 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
5331 indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
5332 --autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
5333 Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
5334 * tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
5335 * tests/autoscan: New.
5336 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't

5353 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
5355 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5357 * Makefile.maint (do-po-update): Wget refuses to overwrite files:
5358 download in a tmp dir.
5360 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5362 * lib/autotest/general.m4: s/AT-devnull/devnull/ since there are
5363 case insensitive OSes out there :(

5675 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5678 their use in AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS for instance...
5680 * lib/autoconf/general.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
5681 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Rename the EOF tags as `_ACEOF',

5744 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Refer to `$as_me.log', not
5745 `$0.log' as for projects where testsuite is in src, we'd have
5746 testsuite.log created in src.
5748 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5750 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Recognize --normalize.

5760 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5762 * doc/autoconf.texi: Work around Texinfo buglets.
5763 (Transformation Rules): One example is enough, users are expected
5764 to have their brains on. And BTW, use DESTDIR.
5765 (dvar): New macro. Use it.

5821 * tests/Makefile.am: Use a clean-local rule to remove
5822 autom4te.cache (it's a directory, not a file.
5823 * Makefile.am: Ditto (but maintainer-clean-local).
5825 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5834 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5836 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOUPDATE): Perl is now required:

5899 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5901 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Handle ACTION-IF-TRUE,
5902 ACTION-IF-FALSE, and ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN.
5903 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Update

5909 magic values from an object file when cross-compiling.
5910 Based on code by Guido Draheim <Guido.Draheim@gmx.de>.
5912 2001-08-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5914 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Don't use `grep' with side
5916 Suggested by Russ Allbery.
5918 2001-08-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
5920 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Propagate the
5921 current $prefix to the sub-configures.
5923 2001-08-09 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5925 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4: Ignore *.xSYM when looking for an executable

5932 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5934 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be
5936 (at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file.
5937 No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before
5938 each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
5939 Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
5940 If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
5942 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5944 Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
5945 failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
5946 duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
5948 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
5949 Dump information on the first run of each test.
5950 (AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
5953 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5955 The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
5956 should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
5957 where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
5958 Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
5960 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
5961 does not like `' instead of [].
5962 (AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
5963 And don't output such tokens.
5964 * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
5965 `script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
5966 Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.
5967 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New.
5968 * tests/m4sugar.at: Use it.

5988 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5990 Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we
5991 might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
5994 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): No need for `m4_tmpdir'.
5995 * bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused.
5996 (@Request::source): Rename as...
5997 (@Request::input): this.
5998 (@preselect): Add `m4_pattern_forbid' and `m4_pattern_allow'.
5999 (&handle_output): Fetch the patterns from the traces.
6000 `$forbidden' and `$allowed' are constant: use m//o.
6001 (&handle_m4): M4sugar no longer wants `m4_tmpdir'.
6002 (m4_pattern_forbid, m4_pattern_allow): Adjust for tracing only.
6004 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6006 `autoconf && autoheader' is sped up. Now, speed up `autoheader &&
6007 autoconf', i.e., in addition to caching traces, cache the output.
6009 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::cache): Rename as...
6010 (Request::id): this.
6011 ($cache, $icache, $tcache, $ocache): New.

6020 * bin/autom4te.in ($force): New.
6021 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -f, --force is a new option.
6022 (&handle_output): CPP directives might have spaces after `#'.
6023 (&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
6025 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6027 Don't let autom4te compute the `include' traces several times:
6028 first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
6029 compare its timestamp with that of the output.
6031 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
6032 the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
6033 and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).
6034 * lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Rename the last occurrences of
6035 Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.
6036 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it.
6037 (&mtime): New, export it.
6038 * bin/autom4te.in: Use it.
6039 Declare `$req' is invalid if it is outdated.
6040 Don't declare it valid before saving it if something went wrong.
6042 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6075 (@m4_builtins): Rename as...
6076 (@m4_builtin): this.
