3 Fix outdated reference to sh-utils in the manual.
4 * doc/automake.texi (Options): The reference to `sh-utils'
5 should be to `coreutils'.
7 2009-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
9 Avoid sleeping for one second most of the time in sanity check.
10 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Try sanity check first without
11 sleeping for a second, and only if that failed, sleep and try
12 again, to avoid the delay in the common case of a configure
13 script that is older than a second, or a system with sub-second
14 time stamp granularity.
15 Report and different patch by Jim Meyering.
17 2009-09-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> (tiny change)
19 tests/README: warn about zsh incompatibilities.
20 * tests/README (User interface, Getting details from failures):
21 Explicitly state that every test is a "shell script", not just
22 a "script", and that it's run by `/bin/sh' by default.
23 * tests/README (User interface, Supported shells): New subsection,
24 telling about expected portability of the automake test scripts,
25 describing a zsh incompatibility (w.r.t. $0), and a workaround to
26 it (with the `--no-function-argzero' option).
28 testsuite: fix a minor glitch.
29 * tests/defs.in (exit trap): Use `$me', not `$as_me', as the
30 name of the current test (used in error messages).
33 2009-07-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
35 manual: fix a trivial grammar error.
36 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Fix grammar.
38 2009-06-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
40 AM_PROG_GCJ: use AC_CHECK_TOOLS for gcj, for cross compilation.
41 * m4/gcj.m4 (AM_PROG_GCJ): Use AC_CHECK_TOOLS, rather than
42 AC_CHECK_PROGS, when searching for `gcj'.
46 2009-05-24 Jack Kelly <endgame.dos@gmail.com> (tiny change)
47 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
49 AM_PROG_GCJ currently fails to define OBJEXT and EXEEXT.
50 * tests/gcj6.test: New test.
51 * tests/Makefile.am: Update; mark gcj6.test as XFAIL.
54 2009-05-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
56 parallel-tests: avoid GNU make 3.80 substitution bug.
57 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (check-TESTS): Remove any
58 `.log' entries from `$(TEST_LOGS)' even if the list is nonempty,
59 to work around GNU make 3.80 substitution reference issue with
60 trailing white space in the variable.
61 * tests/parallel-tests10.test: New test.
62 * tests/parallel-tests6.test: Update comment.
63 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
65 Report by Bob Friesenhahn.
67 2009-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
69 testsuite: unset installation directory variables.
70 * tests/defs.in: Before test execution, be sure to unset all
71 installation directory variables, so they cannot have an effect
72 on a `make -e install' command within a test.
73 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
75 testsuite: do not change the mode of installed Libtool files.
76 * tests/defs.in: Do not use `chmod -R' on the test directory, as
77 that may change or try to change the mode of installed files:
78 the test directory may contain symlinks to ltmain.sh files from
79 a Libtool installation, and Solaris `chmod -R' touches symlink
80 targets. Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in distdir.am.
82 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
84 testsuite: do not fail in cleanup code.
85 * tests/defs.in: Turn off errexit in the cleanup trap, to avoid
86 a test failure due to a nonzero command.
88 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
90 2009-05-23 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com>
92 python: do not install in system directories on Darwin 9.
93 On Darwin 9, get_python_lib returns a path below `/Library/Python'
94 regardless of the `prefix' argument it was passed, causing `make
95 install' to target the system directories regardless of `--prefix'
96 argument used. Work around this Darwin bug by ignoring the result
97 of get_python_lib if it points outside of the passed prefix, and
98 the prefix was not a system directory.
99 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): If the prefix does not match the
100 initial portion of the pythondir returned by get_python_lib, then
101 ignore it unless the configured prefix is `/usr' or starts with
102 `/System'. Fixes instmany-python.test failure on Mac OS X 10.5.7.
105 2009-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
107 Clarify how to enable `silent-rules' and other global options.
108 * doc/automake.texi (Options): When introducing options, be more
109 careful to note that not all of them can be specified in
110 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS statements, and that some do not make sense in
111 subdirectories. Note more prominently that `silent-rules' can
112 only be specified in configure.ac.
113 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Improve error
114 message for `silent-rules', `tar-v7', `tar-ustar', `tar-pax'
115 options specified in Makefile.am files.
116 Report by Bruno Haible.

128 * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
129 * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
130 Report by Peter O'Gorman.
132 2009-05-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
134 testsuite: also try `jot' as `seq' replacement.
135 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Try BSD `jot' before resorting to a
136 slow but portable shell loop.
137 * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
138 * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
139 Suggestion by Peter O'Gorman.
141 Fix test failure when pkg.m4 is not found, only pkg-config.
142 * tests/vala5.test: Update comment, this test is not expected to
143 fail any more. Require valac version 0.7.0. Skip if configure
144 fails, could be due to unexpanded PKG_CHECK_MODULES or too old
146 Report by Simon Josefsson.
148 2009-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
151 * configure.ac: Bump version to 1.11.
152 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.11. Remove line
155 Fix maintainer-check failures.
156 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Use `$(am__cd)' instead
158 * tests/vala2.test: Use `rm -f' instead of `rm'.
160 Revert Automake license to GPLv2+.
161 Automake will move to GPLv3+ once the Exception statement has
162 been rewritten to use the new GPLv3 exception language. This
163 change does not impact the COPYING file that may be installed
164 by `automake --add-missing'.
165 * COPYING: Revert to GPLv2. All uses changed.
168 Rewrite NEWS for 1.11.
169 * NEWS: Rewrite, merging 1.10b and 1.10c entries.
171 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
172 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from
175 Update release statistics, improve release-stats rule.
176 * Makefile.am (release-stats): Output stderr of pstops in
177 addition to catching it, for better debugging.
178 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.10.2.
180 Cope with parallel BSD make -jN semantics.
181 When BSD `make -jN' is used without `-B' which enables backwards
182 compatible semantics, it may reuse the same shell for several
183 commands within a rule; so ensure we do not leave it in a
184 different directory, nor `exit 0' early in a multi-command rule.
185 * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): After running `distcleancheck',
186 change back to original working directory.
187 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_HIN%): Run autoheader in a
189 * lib/am/mans.am (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Do not `exit 0' early
190 in a rule that consists of several shell invocations. Parallel
191 NetBSD `make -jN' without `-B' will use only one shell for all
192 commands, but won't respawn one after `exit 0'. Fixes
193 notrans.test failure.
194 * tests/makej2.test: New test.
195 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
198 * lib/am/install.am: Fix typo.

201 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
203 Let AM_PATH_PYTHON honor python's idea about the site directory.
204 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): When computing pythondir and
205 pyexecdir, pass the expanded prefix resp. exec_prefix as `prefix'
206 to get_python_lib, so python can determine the name of the site
207 directory depending on the install location. Afterwards, replace
208 the directory names with the unexpanded values of $PYTHON_PREFIX
209 resp. $PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX again, to allow override according to
210 the documentation. Fixes site directory computation for Debian
211 and Ubuntu (`dist-packages' for a prefix of `/usr' or `/usr/local',
212 `site-packages' elsewhere).
213 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

217 Vala: for now, require GNU make.
218 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): GNU make is currently
219 required for Vala sources.
220 * tests/vala2.test, tests/vala3.test, tests/vala5.test: Require
223 2009-05-17 Jürg Billeter <j@bitron.ch>
225 Vala: Use $(srcdir) in rebuild rules.
226 valac is always run in srcdir as the generated files are distributed.
227 So srcdir needs to be taken into account in the rebuild rules to not
228 wrongly trigger a rebuild in the wrong directory.
229 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Rebuild files in
231 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules from VPATH build.
233 Vala: Add and test rebuild rules for generated header and vapi files.
234 valac will generate additional files when using, for example, -H in
235 VALAFLAGS. We need to recognize these options and add appropriate
236 rebuild rules to fix parallel build.
237 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Recognize -H, -h,
238 --header, --internal-header, --vapi, --internal-api, --gir flags
239 to valac and rebuild rules for generated headers; distribute
240 and maintainer-clean them.
241 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules.
243 2009-05-17 Jürg Billeter <j@bitron.ch>
244 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
246 Vala: Fix build when using per-target VALAFLAGS.
247 This does not yet implement full per-target support for VALAFLAGS,
248 however, this change at least fixes building when there is only one
249 target per source file, which is the most common situation.
250 * automake.in: Remove `VALAFLAGS' from `flags' in language struct.
251 (lang_vala_finish_target): Handle `*_VALAFLAGS rewriting' manually
252 here; check `VALAFLAGS' user variables.
253 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove vala5.test.
254 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Document per-target flag
257 2009-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
260 Document some formatting restrictions for Makefile.am files.
261 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation, Usage of Conditionals):
262 Variable assignments should not be indented by TABs, rule commands
263 should. Conditional keyword statements should not be indented.
267 2009-05-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
269 Fix copyright years in *.am files.
270 * lib/am/check.am, lib/am/check2.am, lib/am/distdir.am,
271 lib/am/program.am, lib/am/tags.am: Fix copyright years.
273 distdir: avoid duplicate `find' traversal with subpackages.
274 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir) [%?SUBDIRS%]: When recursing, set
276 [%?TOPDIR_P%]: When `$(am__skip_mode_fix)' is set, avoid tree
278 * tests/subpkg4.test: New test, to ensure that we still walk the
279 whole tree while fixing permissions. We don't ensure it is
281 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
283 Disable test cleanup trap with OSF1/Tru64 sh.
284 * configure.ac: Test whether /bin/sh has working 'set -e'
285 in conjunction with an exit trap. Set $am_cv_sh_errexit_works
286 accordingly, substitute sh_errexit_works, and warn about
287 leftover test directories with broken shells like Tru64 /bin/sh.
288 * tests/defs.in: Do not install any traps with broken shells.
290 2009-05-02 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
291 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
293 Recommend *-local hooks without commands, for extensibility.
294 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Show how to write the clean-local
295 extension with separate phony target.
296 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Practice what we preach
297 by marking this phony. For consistency, rename from ...
298 (check-clean-local): ... this.
300 2009-04-28 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

337 Prompted by report from John Calcote.
339 parallel-tests: fix recheck* targets for non-GNU make.
340 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Override AM_MAKEFLAGS
341 to portably transport the TEST_LOGS settings through the
342 recursive `make' invocations. Fixes parallel-tests9.test
343 failure with Solaris make.
344 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Also ensure that the test
345 summary is correct for `recheck'.
346 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
348 2009-04-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
350 Avoid racy depmodes with universal builds.
351 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): If universal builds are used,

363 2009-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
365 testsuite: minor w32 fixes.
366 * tests/depend5.test: Don't fail if the system or file system
367 cannot handle weird characters, instead just try a few.
368 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Really wait until the serial test
369 has finished, before letting the cleanup trap do its work.
370 Report by Bruno Haible.
372 Avoid nonportable `./FILE' instead of `FILE' in test.
373 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not use `$(top_builddir)/sub/libname.la'
374 in *_LDADD entry if `$(top_builddir)' is `.'. Fixes test failure
375 with parallel NetBSD make.
377 Detect make `include' style also with parallel non-GNU make.
378 Parallel NetBSD make outputs `--- $target ---' messages,
379 parallel HP-UX make outputs `Making target"$target"'. Just
380 ignore all additional output for the include test.
381 * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Ignore additional output
382 produced by `make' to relax `include' style detection.
384 manual: add FAQ `Debugging Make Rules'.
385 * doc/automake.texi (Debugging Make Rules): New FAQ section.
386 (Top, FAQ): Adjust menus, and capitalization of the description
387 of the `Hard-Coded Install Paths' node.
388 (Multiple Outputs): Add comment to restore font-lock for vim.
389 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
391 Let XFile::lock warn and fail with parallel non-GNU make, too.
392 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Also match `-j' for parallel BSD
393 make, and `-P' for parallel HP-UX make.
395 Fix AM_PROG_VALAC version requirement detection.
396 * m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Remove `Vala ' from valac
397 --version string before comparing versions.
398 * tests/vala2.test: Require version 0.7.0 for the test.
399 Fixes failures of vala2.test and vala3.test with older valac.
401 Correctly treat all assignments with bogus trailing comments.
402 Before this patch, automake would silently fail to diagnose and
403 to copy into the output those variable assignments which are
404 preceded by a comment, and end in backslash newline comment.
405 * automake.in (read_am_file): When determining whether an
406 escaped newline followed by a comment is an error, correctly use
407 the parser state, not the contents of a saved comment, which
408 could still be carried over from a comment before an assignment.
410 * tests/commen11.test: New test.

420 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
422 bin_PROGRAMS = $(EXTRA_PROGRAMS) should work.
423 * automake.in (am_install_var): For `PROGRAMS' primary, strip
424 `$(EXEEXT)' here already, so the name uniquifying works even
425 when we look at names repeatedly, with inconsistent executable
426 extension; through variable references, we might have added
427 the extension ourselves earlier.

528 invocation as `all check'. Fixes test failure with parallel
530 * tests/nobase.test: Be sure to create a directory before
531 creating files in it. Fixes test failure with MAKE=`make -jN'
532 for NetBSD make. This issue is hidden with parallel GNU make
533 due to its parallel breadth first update order.
534 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Skip if $MAKE contains `-j',
535 GNU make will use the environment variable $MAKE for recursion
536 and thus run in parallel even if `$MAKE -j1' was used on the
537 command line in the test. Also, after running the test proper,
538 wait long enough so that background jobs have finished and there
539 are no open files left when the cleanup code runs.
541 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
543 silent-rules reorganization, --enable-silent-rules switch.
544 This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default
545 verbosity. Since configure now needs to know whether the
546 `silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be
547 set within AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, or with a new AM_SILENT_RULES macro
548 but not any more through AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or the automake
549 command line option `--silent-rules'.
550 * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define the default verbose
551 variable in terms of `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'.
552 (handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.
553 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'. If seen,
554 enable global `silent-rules' option.
555 (usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'.
556 (parse_arguments): Do not accept `--silent-rules'.
557 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Overhaul. Document
558 AM_SILENT_RULES, --enable-silent-rules, --disable-silent-rules,
559 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY. Show an example for user-added variables
560 for less verbose output.
561 (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'.
562 (Public Macros): Document `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
564 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
565 `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac.
566 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If the `silent-rules' option
567 was enabled, require `AM_SILENT_RULES'; move AM_BACKSLASH
568 initialization to ...
569 * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): ... this new file, new macro.
570 Deal with `--enable-silent-rules' switch; define
571 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.
572 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add silent.m4.
573 * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use
575 * tests/flavor.test: Remove test for `--silent-rules'.
576 * tests/silent.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
577 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; use `--enable-silent-rules'.
578 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
579 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
580 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
581 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
582 * tests/silent6.test: Likewise. Test `AM_SILENT_RULES' as well
583 as `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([silent-rules])' instead of
585 * tests/silent7.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
586 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; ensure the latter is rejected.
587 Test combinations of --enable-silent-rules and
588 --disable-silent-rules with `make V=0' and `make V=1'.
589 Suggestion for configure-time switch by Bob Friesenhahn.
591 manual: Add note about parallelism and tests ordering.
592 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
593 Dependencies between test logs work for tests with known
594 extensions only. Hint that tests should be prepared to be run
597 Fix maintainer-check failure.
598 * tests/suffix13.test: Use Exit not exit.
600 2009-04-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
602 parallel-tests: more testsuite exposure.
603 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Also test overriding TEST_LOGS and
606 parallel-tests: let VERBOSE=yes output appear before summary.
607 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): In `VERBOSE=yes' mode,
608 output contents of `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' before, rather than after
609 the test suite summary. This ensures that the email address
610 appears near the end of the output; also, the log file already
611 starts with a result summary anyway.
613 parallel-tests: `clean recheck' should not rerun all tests.
614 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-html): Do not rerun all
615 tests if `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' does not exist.
616 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Adjust recheck test.
617 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Adjust recheck-html test.

624 parallel-tests: Fix driver for nonempty executable extension.
625 * automake.in (handle_tests): New substitution `%am__EXEEXT%',
626 defined as 'FALSE' for non-generic rules, or if no programs are
627 built at all. Otherwise, define it as configure conditional.
628 * lib/am/check2.am [%am__EXEEXT%] (%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): New
629 conditional generic rule.
630 * m4/init.m4: Hook an m4_provide of `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' onto
631 Autoconf's `_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT' macro.
632 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' has been provided
633 at `AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE' time, then introduce a conditional
634 `am__EXEEXT', defined to true iff `$EXEEXT' is nonempty.
635 * tests/check5.test: Only match `_EXEEXT_[1-9]' here, to avoid
636 false positives stemming from `@am__EXEEXT_TRUE@'.
639 2009-04-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
641 Fix a couple of $(EXEEXT)-related testsuite failure.

691 $(parallel_tests) here, they can be generated as needed during
692 the test run, following our recommendation in the manual.
694 Remove superfluous line from recheck recheck-html.

705 (recheck-html): ... with this rule. Pass TEST_LOGS rather than
706 RECHECK_LOGS to `check' and `check-html', respectively, to avoid
707 running outdated tests. Invoking the public macros ensures
708 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time. Do not output errors
709 for tests that were not run yet. If the testsuite has not run
710 at all, run all tests.
711 (check-html): Run `check' target, not `check-TESTS', to ensure
712 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time.
713 (.PHONY, .MAKE, AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Adjust contents.
714 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Expose the check-html and

717 Bugs in previous version pointed out by Akim, who already had
718 them fixed in his original version.

722 parallel-tests: LOG_COMPILER for tests without known extension.
723 * automake.in (handle_tests): If we don't match a known
724 extension, define `LOG_COMPILER' as `$(LOG_COMPILE)
725 $(AM_LOG_FLAGS) $(LOG_FLAGS)' and use it as %COMPILE% in check2.
726 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
727 Document it. In the examples, suggest using the AM_*LOG_FLAGS
728 flags in Makefile.am rather than the variables without `AM_'
730 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (AM_PL_LOG_FLAGS): Renamed from
731 (PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... this variable, intended for the user.

871 parallel-tests: redo lazy checking: recheck and RECHECK_LOGS.
872 Replace the LAZY_TEST_SUITE API with a simpler yet more powerful
873 one: RECHECK_LOGS specifies those tests which are to be removed
874 in any case before testing. Provide a `recheck' convenience
875 target to set RECHECK_LOGS to all failed and unexpectedly passed
876 tests. Document several ways to limit the set of tests run.
877 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (RECHECK_LOGS): New variable,
878 default to $(TESTS_LOGS).
879 (check-TESTS): Remove $(RECHECK_LOGS) not $(TEST_LOGS). Drop use
881 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Do not output note about lazy rerun, as
882 LAZY_TEST_SUITE is gone.
883 (recheck): New target.
884 (recheck-am, recheck-TESTS): New internal targets.
885 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Update @vindex for TESTS and
886 TEST_LOGS. Replace description of LAZY_TEST_SUITE with a list
887 of ways the set of tests to be run can be modified. Document
888 RECHECK_LOGS and the recheck target.
889 * tests/defs.in: Unset RECHECK_LOGS not LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
890 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Adjust, replacing LAZY_TEST_SUITE
891 with corresponding RECHECK_LOGS settings.
892 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: New tests.
893 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
894 Suggestion and different implementation by Akim Demaille.
896 parallel-tests: do not mark check-TESTS as `.MAKE'.

898 This rule removes files, which should not be executed with BSD
901 parallel-tests: warn about $(srcdir), $(top_srcdir) in TESTS.

919 variable <EXT>_LOG_COMPILE, which expands to
920 $(<EXT>_LOG_COMPILER) $(AM_<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS) $(<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS).
921 Turn also the lib/Automake/tests testsuite over to the new

927 empty for tests without extension, and `$(ext_LOG_COMPILE)' for
928 extension `ext'. In the latter case, define it from the public

1020 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
1022 Ensure that empty directory variables work with empty content variables.
1023 This test ensures that, if both $(wheredir) and $(where_HOW) are
1024 the empty string, then the `install' and `uninstall' rules behave
1025 sanely, for several directory variables `wheredir' and several
1027 * tests/instdir.test: New test.
1028 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

1041 For PR automake/533:
1042 DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
1043 When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
1044 (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
1045 thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
1046 distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
1047 need to be made writable recursively. Since file modes should
1048 not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'.
1049 * lib/am/distdir.am: Handle this situation.
1050 * tests/distdir.test: Extend test to those cases.
1052 Report by Peter Breitenlohner.
1054 2009-03-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1056 Fix a documentation typo.
1057 * doc/automake.texi (Headers): Clarify the note telling when it's
1058 better not to use noinst_HEADERS.
1060 2009-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1062 Define AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS, for gnulib's GNUmakefile.
1063 This new macro lists all public targets which invoke `make'
1064 recursively, or depend on targets which do so. It allows to
1065 prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
1066 passed on the `make' command line.
1067 * lib/am/distdir.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): New
1069 * lib/am/subdirs.am (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Likewise.
1070 * lib/am/tags.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS):
1073 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1075 Fix LAZY_TEST_SUITE handling and $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) recreation.
1076 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Expand `$(TEST_LOGS)' only once
1077 in the rule command, for systems with low command line limits.
1078 Remove $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) even in LAZY_TEST_SUITE mode.
1079 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Always recreate $(TEST_SUITE_LOG). Mention
1080 lazy mode in the summary output.
1081 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Test LAZY_TEST_SUITE semantics.
1083 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1085 Fix parallel-tests with empty $(TESTS) for BSD make.
1086 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Ignore
1087 empty line stemming from empty $(TEST_LOGS), to avoid counting
1089 (check-TESTS): If `$(TESTS)' is empty, override TEST_LOGS to be
1090 empty, rather than `.log', for BSD make.
1091 * tests/parallel-tests6.test: New test.
1092 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1094 Mark check-html and check-TESTS as recursive for BSD make.
1095 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Add check-TESTS
1096 and check-html prerequisites.
1098 Match XFAIL_TESTS correctly with Solaris make.
1099 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS]: VPATH rewriting may have
1100 changed test names, so srcdir needs to be taken into account
1101 explicitly when checking against the list of tests expected
1102 to fail. Fixes spurious FAILures from XFAIL_TESTS.
1104 Use append mode to capture parallel test output.
1105 * tests/lisp8.test: Use append mode for output from `make -j',
1106 to avoid dropped lines.
1107 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
1109 parallel-tests: Fix summary output.
1110 * lib/am/check.am (am__text_box): Fix unportable sed script,
1111 replacing `\n' in the right hand side of an `s' command with
1112 a literal newline. Kudos to Bruno Haible for the newline idea.
1113 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Update test to expose this.
1115 2009-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1117 Overhaul of tests/README.
1118 * tests/README: General overhaul. Mention parallel test suite
1119 execution, the test-suite.log file; document `Exit' vs. `exit',
1120 `defs' vs. `defs-p', the naming of `parallel-tests' tests.
1121 * README: Simplify, point to tests/README.
1123 Documentation for the parallel-tests driver.
1124 * doc/automake.texi (Tests, Options): Document the `parallel-tests'
1125 option, including new features of the test driver.
1128 New tests for `parallel-tests'.
1129 * tests/parallel-tests.test: New file, to expose a bunch of
1130 features of `parallel-tests': VERBOSE, clean, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
1131 test dependencies, DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS.
1132 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: New file, test check-html.
1133 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: New file, test concurrency.

1137 * tests/defs.in: Add a `required' check for rst2html.
1138 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1140 parallel-tests: Ensure backward-compatible semantics.
1141 For each test in Automake's test suite that uses TESTS, generate
1142 an identical one that uses the `parallel-tests' option, for
1143 coverage of backward-compatible functionality.
1144 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: New file, generates distributed
1145 Makefile.am snippet tests/parallel-tests.am to list all tests
1146 that use the TESTS interface but not yet the `parallel-tests'
1147 option, with names mangled to use suffix `-p.test', in ...
1148 (parallel_tests): ... this new make macro.
1149 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/parallel-tests.am)
1150 ($(parallel_tests), defs-p): New rules.
1151 (TESTS): Add check11.test and $(parallel_tests).
1152 (check_SCRIPTS): Add defs-p, $(parallel_tests).
1153 (check-clean-local): Remove `defs-p'.
1154 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute gen-parallel-tests.
1155 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): New variable, remove $(parallel_tests).
1156 * bootstrap: Generate parallel-tests.am.
1157 * tests/check8.test: Check for circular dependencies in rules.
1158 * tests/check11.test: New test, check that SKIPs are not counted
1160 * tests/defs.in: Unset DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS, LAZY_TEST_SUITE,
1161 VERBOSE, so the tests are not influenced by the way our test

1167 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1169 Parallel test execution: new option `parallel-tests'.
1170 * automake.in (handle_tests): Set new conditional PARALLEL_TESTS
1171 when reading check.am. Handle option `parallel-tests' and all
1172 its new semantics. Define macros TEST_SUFFIXES, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
1173 TEST_SUITE_HTML, TEST_LOGS, TEST_LOGS_TMP, suffix rules if
1174 applicable, and per-target rules for other tests. Add all log
1175 files to %clean_files at the `MOSTLY_CLEAN' level.
1176 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
1178 * lib/am/check.am [!PARALLEL_TESTS] (check-TESTS): Move existing
1179 testsuite driver under this new conditional.

1187 * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Use `parallel-tests'.
1188 (clean-local): Renamed from distclean-local.
1189 * tests/defs.in: Drop VERBOSE handling, not needed here any more.
1191 2009-03-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1193 Rename `silent' mode to `silent-rules' mode.
1194 * automake.in (define_verbose_var, verbose_flag)
1195 (define_verbose_tagvar, handle_options, handle_languages)
1196 (handle_configure, parse_arguments): Rename the `silent' option
1197 to `silent-rules', so it coincides with the `--silent-rules'
1198 command line option; adjust all code and comments.
1199 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Likewise.
1200 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake, Libtool Flags, Options):
1203 * tests/dollarvar.test, tests/silent.test, tests/silent2.test,
1204 tests/silent3.test, tests/silent4.test, tests/silent5.test,
1205 tests/silent6.test, tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1206 Suggestion by Jan Engelhardt.
1208 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1210 `silent' mode unconditionally overrides portability-recursive.
1211 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Don't handle a global `silent'
1212 option here; instead, ...
1213 (handle_options): ... handle the "normal" `silent' option here.
1214 Override `portability-recursive' here, at the last point we deal
1215 with options, instead ...
1216 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): ... of here.
1217 * tests/silent6.test: Replace unportable make snippet, remove
1218 FIXME note, add more test cases of options passed in the various
1221 Drop extra line from compile rules when `silent' is not used.
1222 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Only use the `%VERBOSE%
1223 @AM_BACKSLASH@' extra line if ?VERBOSE?.
1224 Report by Ralf Corsepius.
1226 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1228 Keep `--silent-rules' across triggered automake reruns.
1229 * automake.in (usage): Reformat to be a bit clearer.
1230 (handle_configure): Remove substitutions %STRICTNESS% and
1231 %USE-DEPS% in favor of a new substitution %AUTOMAKE-OPTIONS%
1232 that carries over all needed flags.
1233 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%): Adjust rule.
1234 * tests/flavor.test: New test, to ensure --$flavor (gnu,
1235 gnits, foreign, cygnus), --ignore-deps, and --silent-rules are
1236 preserved across automake reruns.
1237 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1239 2009-03-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1241 Provide variables for silencing of user rules.

1244 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Document these flags.
1245 * tests/silent7.test: New test.
1246 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1248 Redo variable naming for `silent' machinery.
1249 The public variables are named `AM_V_' plus the compiler
1250 short-hand now, e.g.: AM_V_CC, AM_V_CXXLD, AM_V_GEN. The
1251 dispatch variables are internal details and begin with
1253 * automake.in (verbose_var): Update comment.
1254 (verbose_private_var): New function. Order functions so that
1255 ones not needed outside this section are listed first.
1256 (verbose_dispatch): Remove, no need to factor this.
1257 (define_verbose_var, define_verbose_libtool): Use
1258 verbose_private_var.
1259 (define_verbose_tagvar): Likewise; and simplify.
1260 Report by Jan Engelhardt.

1264 `portability-recursive' channel as well if changing the
1265 `portability' channel.
1266 * tests/dollarvar2.test: New test.
1267 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1269 2009-03-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1271 New automake command line option `--silent-rules'.
1272 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Accept `--silent-rules; let it
1273 override command line warning settings.
1274 (usage): Document it.
1275 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake): Document it.
1277 * tests/dollarvar.test: Also test `--silent-rules'.
1278 * tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Use `$MAKE V=1' to enable verbose
1279 output, which is matched later in the test.

1343 Ignore warnings from autom4te about Libtool macros.
1344 * tests/ltinstloc.test: When testing for presence of warnings,

1346 warnings about installed files or about bogusly named cache
1347 variables in libtool.m4, emitted by recent Autoconf when older

1354 and msvcmsys depmodes, do not require `-c -o' to work just yet.
1355 It is not needed by the depcomp script for these depmodes, and
1356 works around the ordering issue between the tests.

1376 Improve `make -n dist' and `make -n distcheck' for GNU make.
1377 Ensure that `make -n dist' and `make -n distcheck' do not change
1378 files, due to GNU make executing rules containing `$(MAKE)'.
1379 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Separate the creation of
1380 `$(distdir)/$$subdir' for `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' and the recursion
1381 into the `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' in two separate rule commands.
1382 (distcheck): Exit recursive rule early when run with `make -n',
1383 as detected by a witness file.

1390 Solaris make testsuite fixes.
1391 * tests/check10.test: When a rule fails, Solaris make will
1392 output the complete command that failed; in this case the test
1393 suite driver. Adjust the test to not bogusly match lines from
1394 the driver, rather than its output.
1395 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Avoid triggering VPATH rewriting,
1396 not desirable in this test.
1397 * tests/specflg10.test: Use BUILT_SOURCES to specify an
1398 intermediate target, so Solaris make knows what to do.
1400 testsuite: SKIP compile tests if configure found no compiler.
1401 * tests/depend6.test: configure will exit 77 if AC_PROG_CC found
1402 no working compiler. Allow the test to be SKIPped in that case.

1432 Replace bare `automake' with `@command{automake}' or `Automake'.
1433 * doc/automake.texi: Avoid bare `automake' in the manual,
1434 replacing occurrences with `@command{automake}' when the command
1435 is meant, and `Automake' when speaking about the software
1438 2009-03-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1440 * lib/depcomp: Various portability and quoting nits.

1462 Add debugging features.
1463 * lib/gnupload: New options --delete, --symlink, --rmsymlink,
1464 --symlink-regex, --dry-run; support `--' to separate options and
1465 commands from files. New target download.gnu.org.ua. Expand
1466 `.gnupload' file contents before command line arguments.
1468 (dprint, mkdirective, mksymlink, upload): New functions.
1471 2009-03-03 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1473 Add depmode=msvcmsys for Microsoft Visual C++ on MSYS.
1474 * lib/depcomp [msvisualcpp]: Fork fewer processes. Filter out
1475 libtool in the preprocessor invocation (as is done in
1476 depmode=cpp). Silence compiler stderr.
1477 [msvcmsys]: New depmode as a derivative of depmode=msvisualcpp.
1478 msvcmsys transforms any backslashes into forward slashes to
1479 make the grep in depend.m4 match, instead of the "cygpath -u"
1480 that is used in msvisualcpp.

1555 Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
1556 Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
1557 containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play
1558 well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
1559 as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
1560 generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
1561 This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
1562 but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
1563 * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
1564 page due to missing help2man.
1565 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true

1879 messages or backtrace output.
1880 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
1881 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
1882 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
1883 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
1884 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
1886 (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
1887 to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.
1888 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Unset channel option `ordered'
1889 for fatal, automake, and verb channels.

1907 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
1908 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
1909 of independent makefiles.

1938 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
1939 using set_dir_cache_file.
1941 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
1942 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
1943 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
1944 as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
1945 enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.

2132 * NEWS: Expand on the issue, list some more user-visible
2135 Install nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES before bin_PROGRAMS.
2136 * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
2137 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
2138 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.
2139 * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.
2141 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
2142 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
2143 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
2144 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
2145 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
2146 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
2147 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
2148 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
2149 passed to libtool in one invocation.
2150 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not
2151 reorder libraries upon installation. Remove spurious empty
2153 * tests/ltorder.test: New test.

2156 Fix -rpath arguments for nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES.
2157 * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): New hash %instsubdirs to
2158 track the dirname of nobase ltlibraries, and tack it onto the
2159 end of the -rpath argument. Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
2160 installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.

2195 remove them, all at once.
2196 (%DIR%SCRIPT_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
2199 Multi-file install for PROGRAMS.
2200 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Allow to install
2201 several programs with one install invocation, when not using
2202 libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
2203 create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a
2204 constant number of times in the fast path; uses awk and sed also
2205 in the default path.
2206 (%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
2209 Enhance cleaning of programs in libtool mode.
2210 * lib/am/progs.am (clean-%DIR%PROGRAMS) [?LIBTOOL?]: Fork less
2211 often, avoid removing programs twice if $(EXEEXT) is empty.

2282 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
2283 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
2284 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
2285 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
2286 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
2287 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
2288 lower the limit to 40, too.
2289 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
2290 (am__base_list): New macro.
2291 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.

2297 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
2298 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
2299 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
2300 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
2301 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
2302 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
2303 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
2304 * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function. Use it throughout,
2305 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.

2516 2008-09-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2518 Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
2519 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
2520 from output for comparison.
2522 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
2523 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
2524 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
2525 relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted
2527 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fix current check for
2528 $(am__cd) within backquotes a bit. Add new check for `cd' to a

2539 Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
2540 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
2541 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
2542 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
2543 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.
2545 2008-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2547 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).
2548 * m4/maintainer.m4 (AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Allow for an optional
2549 first argument of `enable' or `disable', setting the default.
2550 * doc/automake.texi (Optional, maintainer-mode): Document.

2567 2008-08-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2569 Fix rebuilding of removed subdir/Makefile.in files.
2570 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%) [?!TOPDIR_P?]: If
2571 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
2572 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.
2573 * tests/remake6.test, tests/remake7.test: New tests.
2574 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2575 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2576 Report and initial patch by Ilya N. Golubev.
2578 2008-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2580 * tests/notrans.test: Use multiple man files of each type.
2582 Fix maintainer-check failures.
2583 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Drop TAB.
2584 * tests/missing6.test: Use 'rm -f'.

2600 2008-06-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2602 Introduce macro $(am__mv) to facilitate 'libtool --dry-run'.
2603 * lib/am/depend.am (am__mv): New macro, set to 'mv -f'.
2604 * lib/am/depend2.am: Use throughout to move the temporary
2605 depfile *.Tpo to its final destination *.Po.
2607 2008-06-18 Rafael Espindola <espindola@google.com>
2609 * lib/config-ml.in: don't handle --enable-shared and --enable-static.

2613 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): New variable.
2614 (am__nobase_list): Use it.
2616 Fix conditional rules competing with config.status rules.
2617 * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the
2618 conditional config.status rule.
2619 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
2621 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
2622 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
2623 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
2624 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
2625 (handle_configure) <CONFIG_CLEAN_VPATH_FILES>: New variable, for
2626 links where source and dest are equal.
2627 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Remove, if build tree not
2629 * tests/conflnk4.test: New test.
2630 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

2656 2008-04-10 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2658 Prefer a released version of autoconf.

2675 * lib/gnupload: Allow uploads from separate directory.
2677 2008-03-26 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2679 Implement conditional AC_CONFIG_FILES: AM_COND_IF.
2680 * automake.in (%ac_config_files_condition): New.
2681 (scan_autoconf_config_files): Record condition if any.
2682 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace _AM_COND_IF, _AM_COND_ELSE,
2683 _AM_COND_ENDIF, updating @cond_stack as appropriate.
2684 (handle_configure): Prefix config.status rule with condition.
2685 Check that m4 quotation is done consistently.
2686 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITION): Define `_AM_COND_VALUE_name'
2687 with `name' being the name of the condition, to its shell
2689 * m4/cond-if.m4: New file.

2691 (AM_COND_IF): New macro, implements conditionals.
2692 * m4/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2693 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Optional, Conditionals):
2694 Document AM_COND_IF.
2696 * tests/cond39.test, tests/cond40.test, tests/cond41.test,
2697 tests/cond42.test, tests/cond43.test: New tests.
2698 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2700 2008-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2702 * doc/automake.texi (@ovar): New macro, from autoconf.texi.
2704 Suggestion by Eric Blake.
2706 2008-03-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2708 * lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
2710 2008-03-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2712 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Linking, Extending):
2713 Fix underfull and overfull lines, fix wording a bit.
2715 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from
2718 * Makefile.am (WGET_SV_GIT_CF): New.
2719 (fetch): Pull config.guess and config.sub from git repo now.
2721 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
2722 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.
2723 (xsystem_hint): New function, like xsystem but allows to pass
2726 2008-03-11 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
2728 Implement the `notrans_' prefix for untransformed manpages.
2729 * automake.in (handle_man_pages), lib/am/mans.am: Implement
2730 notrans_ prefix for MANS primary and rework dependencies for
2731 install-man%SECTION%; use only vars defined in Makefile.am.
2732 * doc/automake.texi (Renaming, Uniform, Man pages):
2733 Document notrans_ prefix.
2735 * tests/notrans.test: New test.
2736 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2738 * automake.in (handle_man_pages): Reindent, for next patch.
2740 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2742 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
2743 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
2744 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
2745 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
2746 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
2747 a problem, it should be revisited.
2749 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
2750 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
2751 files keyed by their target directory.
2752 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
2753 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
2754 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
2755 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
2756 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
2757 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
2758 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
2759 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
2761 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
2762 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
2763 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
2764 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
2765 a list for byte compilation after installation.
2766 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
2767 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
2768 to install multiple files at once.
2770 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
2772 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2774 Require unreleased Autoconf for fixed AC_PROG_INSTALL.
2775 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump AC_PREREQ to 2.61-341,
2777 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
2778 failure early and provide a sensible error message.
2780 Drop usage of obsolete macros AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
2781 * tests/ansi4.test: Drop AC_OBJEXT and AC_EXEEXT.
2782 * tests/ansi6.test: Likewise.
2783 * tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.

2793 Skip instsh3.test if `touch -t' does not work.
2794 * tests/instsh3.test: Test for `touch -t', fails with Solaris
2797 Report by Younes Younes.
2799 2008-02-27 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
2801 * doc/automake.texi (wildcards): Improve "Why doesn't Automake
2802 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
2804 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2806 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
2807 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
2808 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
2809 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
2810 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
2811 setting MAKE to test gmake.
2812 Report by Patrick Welche.
2814 2008-02-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2817 * m4/options.m4 (_AM_SET_OPTIONS): Use m4_foreach_w instead of
2818 obsolete AC_FOREACH.
2819 Report by NightStrike and gurganbl@rose-hulman.edu.
2821 2008-02-17 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> (tiny change)

2825 2008-02-05 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2829 2008-02-05 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
2831 * doc/automake.texi (CVS): configure.ac will appear newer, not
2832 older, than configure. Use `lexical' instead of `alphabetical'.
2834 2008-01-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2836 * tests/man3.test: Avoid `make VAR=value'.
2838 * tests/subst3.test: New test.

3457 Use it instead of setting posix_glob inline.
3458 (posix_glob): Use '?'/''/: instead of ''/yes/no, for convenience.
3459 (cmpprog, CMPPROG): New vars, since we use cmp rather than the diff
3461 Use LC_ALL before invoking 'ls' when we depend on its output format.
3462 Don't use awk; just use the shell's builtin features.
3463 Clean up $dsttmp if -C detects no installation is needed.
3464 * tests/defs.in (is_newest): Renamed from is_younger; the new
3465 name is more accurate. All uses changed.
3466 (old_timestamp): New var.
3467 * tests/instsh2.test: Rewrite to avoid the need for sleeping.
3469 2006-12-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3486 2006-12-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3488 Simplify install-sh and its test. This shouldn't change any behavior.
3489 (This patch is a subset of the patch proposed in
3490 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-10/msg00077.html>.)
3491 * lib/install-sh (usage): Use usual GNU style.
3492 (dstarg): Rename as...
3493 (dst_arg): this for consistency.
3494 Simplify quoting of assignments.
3496 Don't use '\' to continue commands: && suffices.
3497 Remove useless "continue" in the argument processing,
3498 and factor the shifts.
3499 * tests/defs.in: Some improvements to make it set -e clean.
3500 Use the traditional ":" trick to protect loops from being empty.
3501 Remove an empty straightforward piece of code prepared to define

3513 amhello, to prevent gmake from invoking make with MAKEFLAGS
3514 it does not understand.

3518 instructions of the GNU Maintenance Instructions.

3526 2006-10-28 Bobby Jack <bobbykjack@yahoo.co.uk> (tiny change)

3556 to denote that the next compiler argument is the source file.
3557 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_FC_SRCEXT; initialize
3558 %sourceflags accordingly.
3559 (handle_single_transform): Store source file extension in...

3646 Report by Ralf Corsepius.
3648 * doc/automake.texi (Options): `no-dependencies' is similar
3649 to `--ignore-deps', not `--include-deps'.

3653 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
3655 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): If we are in the

3662 * lib/depcomp (gcc3): Put dependency extraction flags before the
3663 `-c' flag, so they appear at the same position as in %FASTDEP%
3664 mode in depend2.am. Fixes build failure for FreeBSD's c89,
3665 which ignores unknown options only after the first non-option.

3679 2006-10-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3681 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
3682 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
3683 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
3684 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
3685 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
3686 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
3687 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.
3688 Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;

3716 2006-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3718 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Fix matching of XFAIL_TESTS
3719 against currently running test for the first and last element
3720 of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
3721 on these words, too.
3722 * tests/check6.test: Update.
3724 2006-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3726 For PR automake/501:
3727 * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%):
3728 Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
3729 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
3730 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
3731 This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.
3733 2006-08-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

3745 For PR automake/500:
3746 * automake.in (handle_compile) <$default_includes>: Do not output
3747 the same -I twice. Use @am__isrc@ instead of ` -I$(srcdir)'.
3748 * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
3749 non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.

3816 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
3817 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use

3867 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest
3868 AM_PROG_UPC for UPC and UPCFLAGS.
3869 * m4/upc.m4: New file.
3870 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Add UPC case.
3871 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add upc.m4.
3872 * doc/automake.texi (Unified Parallel C Support): New node.
3873 (Public macros): Mention AM_PROG_UPC.
3874 (Program and Library Variables, Flag Variables Ordering):
3876 * tests/upc.test, tests/upc2.test, tests/upc3.test: New file.
3877 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
3878 * tests/ext.test: Also test upc files.
3880 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3882 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
3884 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
3885 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
3886 other built scripts.
3888 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
3889 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
3890 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
3891 * tests/init.test: New file.
3892 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3894 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3896 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
3897 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
3898 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
3899 `make distdir' instead.
3901 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3903 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
3904 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
3905 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
3907 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
3908 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
3909 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
3910 Report from Bas Wijnen.
3911 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
3912 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3914 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
3915 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
3916 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
3917 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
3918 if we cannot create this file.
3919 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
3920 (unlink_tmp): New function.
3921 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
3923 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3925 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
3926 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
3927 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
3928 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
3930 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
3931 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
3933 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
3935 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3937 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
3938 can install only one file at a time.
3939 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
3940 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
3941 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
3942 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
3943 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
3944 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
3945 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
3946 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
3947 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
3948 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
3949 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
3950 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
3951 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
3952 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
3953 intermediate directories; this is safer.
3954 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
3955 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
3956 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
3957 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
3958 traditional implementations.
3960 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3962 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
3964 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3966 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
3967 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
3968 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
3970 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3971 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3973 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
3974 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
3975 computed by config.status.
3976 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
3977 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
3980 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
3981 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3983 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
3984 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
3985 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
3987 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3989 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
3991 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3993 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
3995 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3996 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3998 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
3999 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
4000 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
4001 Fix some comment typos.
4003 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4005 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
4006 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
4007 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
4009 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
4012 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
4013 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
4014 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
4015 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
4016 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
4018 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
4020 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
4022 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
4023 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
4025 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
4026 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
4027 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
4030 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
4032 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
4034 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
4036 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
4037 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
4038 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
4040 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4042 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
4043 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
4044 directory component.
4045 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
4047 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
4048 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
4049 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
4051 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4053 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
4054 New upstream versions.
4056 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4058 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
4059 repository, they use SVN now.
4061 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
4063 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
4064 savannah.nongnu.org.
4066 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4068 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
4069 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
4070 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
4072 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4074 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
4075 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
4076 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
4077 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
4078 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
4079 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
4080 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
4082 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4084 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
4086 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
4087 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
4089 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
4090 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
4092 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
4093 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
4094 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
4095 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
4096 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
4098 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
4100 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
4102 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
4103 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
4104 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
4107 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
4108 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
4111 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
4112 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
4113 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
4115 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4117 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
4118 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
4120 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
4123 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
4124 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
4127 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
4128 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
4129 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
4131 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
4132 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
4133 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
4134 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
4136 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
4137 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
4138 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
4140 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
4141 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
4142 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
4145 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
4146 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
4147 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
4150 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
4151 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
4152 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
4155 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
4156 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
4157 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
4158 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
4160 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
4161 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
4162 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
4163 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
4164 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
4165 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
4168 2006-04-26 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org> (tiny change)
4170 * doc/automake.texi (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Fix typo.
4172 2006-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4174 * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname.
4176 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4178 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
4179 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
4180 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
4181 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
4183 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4185 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
4186 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
4187 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
4188 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
4189 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
4190 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
4191 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
4192 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

4195 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4197 * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
4198 failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
4199 Report from Paul Lunau.
4200 * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.
4203 2006-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4205 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Match XFAIL_TESTS delimited by
4206 TABs as well as spaces. Fixes PR automake/490.
4207 * tests/check6.test: New test.
4208 * tests/Makefile.am, THANKS: Update.
4209 Report from Diab Jerius <djerius@cfa.harvard.edu>.
4211 2006-04-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>

4222 * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Require Autoconf 2.59c,

4235 are reused, and try to reuse the variable being transformed.
4236 * tests/check2.test: Make sure TESTS hasn't been redefined.

4269 adjust scan_configure_dep and scan_file accordingly.
4270 (scan_configure_dep): Do not search white lines.
4271 (scan_file): Strip comments from current line after checking
4272 for serial, so that aclocal does not trip on `m4_include' macros
4273 in comments. Report from Mike Frysinger.
4274 * tests/acloca21.test: New file.

4327 `subdir-objects', with and without `libtool'.
4328 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
4330 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Unlink `aclocal.m4' before
4331 writing into it, to break a symlinked file.

4337 Allow package trees (packages with subpackages) to share
4338 common distributed auxiliary files (and directories) that
4339 reside within a subpackage.
4341 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir %?TOPDIR_P%): Do not fail if
4342 `$(distdir)' already exists.
4343 (%?SUBDIRS%): Set `am__remove_distdir' to `:' to prevent
4344 removal of subpackage trees for distribution.

4364 gnu and gnits modes.
4365 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake): Adjust.
4367 2006-02-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

4435 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):

4455 2006-01-05 Zack Weinberg <zackw@panix.com>
4456 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4458 * lib/depcomp: Add 'ia64hp' dependency style.
4459 Zack's original patch was contributed to GCC on 2005-06-13.
4462 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4464 * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that
4465 the code is portable to both POSIX and pre-POSIX shells.
4467 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4469 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',
4470 suggested by Eric Blake.
4472 2005-10-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4474 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Typo.

4478 2005-10-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4480 * ChangeLog.03, automake.in, tests/overrid.test: Typos.
4482 2005-10-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4484 * tests/nobase.test: Exercise previous patch.
4486 2005-10-03 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com> (tiny change)

4495 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
4496 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
4497 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
4498 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
4500 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
4502 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4504 * automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.

4517 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
4518 $(MAKE) invocations.
4519 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4521 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
4522 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
4523 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
4524 Report from Stepan Kasal.
4526 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
4527 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
4529 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4531 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
4532 the $(infodir) exists.
4534 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4536 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
4538 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

4541 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
4543 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's

4545 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
4546 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
4547 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
4548 for missing files that can be installed.
4549 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
4551 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4553 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
4554 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
4556 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
4557 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
4558 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
4560 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4562 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
4563 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
4564 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
4565 if the usual candidates show up.
4567 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4569 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
4571 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

4576 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4578 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
4579 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
4581 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4583 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
4584 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
4586 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
4588 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
4589 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
4592 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4594 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
4595 fix an underful hbox.

4603 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4605 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
4606 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
4607 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
4608 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
4609 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
4611 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
4613 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
4614 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
4615 Report from Harald Dunkel.
4617 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
4619 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
4620 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
4621 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
4622 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
4624 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4626 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
4627 `mkdir -p' does not work.
4628 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
4629 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
4630 Report from Noah Friedman.
4632 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
4633 Report from Karl Berry.
4635 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4636 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4638 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
4639 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
4640 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
4642 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4644 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
4645 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
4646 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
4647 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
4648 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
4649 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
4650 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
4651 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
4652 Report from Ed Hartnett.
4654 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4656 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
4658 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
4659 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
4660 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
4661 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
4662 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
4664 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4666 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4667 Fix redirections in previous patch.
4669 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

4672 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
4673 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
4674 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
4675 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
4676 Report from Bob Proulx.
4678 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
4680 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
4682 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
4684 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4686 Fix PR automake/461:
4687 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
4688 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
4689 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
4690 Report from Tom Tromey.
