4 AM_PROG_GCJ currently fails to define OBJEXT and EXEEXT.
5 * tests/gcj6.test: New test.
6 * tests/Makefile.am: Update; mark gcj6.test as XFAIL.
9 2009-05-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
11 parallel-tests: avoid GNU make 3.80 substitution bug.
12 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (check-TESTS): Remove any
13 `.log' entries from `$(TEST_LOGS)' even if the list is nonempty,
14 to work around GNU make 3.80 substitution reference issue with
15 trailing white space in the variable.
16 * tests/parallel-tests10.test: New test.
17 * tests/parallel-tests6.test: Update comment.
18 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

22 2009-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
24 testsuite: unset installation directory variables.
25 * tests/defs.in: Before test execution, be sure to unset all
26 installation directory variables, so they cannot have an effect
27 on a `make -e install' command within a test.
28 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
30 testsuite: do not change the mode of installed Libtool files.
31 * tests/defs.in: Do not use `chmod -R' on the test directory, as
32 that may change or try to change the mode of installed files:
33 the test directory may contain symlinks to ltmain.sh files from
34 a Libtool installation, and Solaris `chmod -R' touches symlink
35 targets. Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in distdir.am.
37 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
39 testsuite: do not fail in cleanup code.
40 * tests/defs.in: Turn off errexit in the cleanup trap, to avoid
41 a test failure due to a nonzero command.
43 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
45 2009-05-23 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com>
47 python: do not install in system directories on Darwin 9.
48 On Darwin 9, get_python_lib returns a path below `/Library/Python'
49 regardless of the `prefix' argument it was passed, causing `make
50 install' to target the system directories regardless of `--prefix'
51 argument used. Work around this Darwin bug by ignoring the result
52 of get_python_lib if it points outside of the passed prefix, and
53 the prefix was not a system directory.
54 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): If the prefix does not match the
55 initial portion of the pythondir returned by get_python_lib, then
56 ignore it unless the configured prefix is `/usr' or starts with
57 `/System'. Fixes instmany-python.test failure on Mac OS X 10.5.7.
60 2009-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
62 Clarify how to enable `silent-rules' and other global options.
63 * doc/automake.texi (Options): When introducing options, be more
64 careful to note that not all of them can be specified in
65 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS statements, and that some do not make sense in
66 subdirectories. Note more prominently that `silent-rules' can
67 only be specified in configure.ac.
68 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Improve error
69 message for `silent-rules', `tar-v7', `tar-ustar', `tar-pax'
70 options specified in Makefile.am files.
71 Report by Bruno Haible.
73 2009-05-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
75 Skip specflg10.test without a C++ compiler.

81 Revert last patch, IRIX has an editor named `jot'.
82 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Do not try `jot'.
83 * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
84 * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
85 Report by Peter O'Gorman.
87 2009-05-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
89 testsuite: also try `jot' as `seq' replacement.
90 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Try BSD `jot' before resorting to a
91 slow but portable shell loop.
92 * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
93 * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
94 Suggestion by Peter O'Gorman.
96 Fix test failure when pkg.m4 is not found, only pkg-config.
97 * tests/vala5.test: Update comment, this test is not expected to
98 fail any more. Require valac version 0.7.0. Skip if configure
99 fails, could be due to unexpanded PKG_CHECK_MODULES or too old
101 Report by Simon Josefsson.
103 2009-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
105 Post-release version bump.
106 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.11.0a.
108 2009-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
111 * configure.ac: Bump version to 1.11.
112 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.11. Remove line
115 Fix maintainer-check failures.
116 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Use `$(am__cd)' instead
118 * tests/vala2.test: Use `rm -f' instead of `rm'.
120 Revert Automake license to GPLv2+.
121 Automake will move to GPLv3+ once the Exception statement has
122 been rewritten to use the new GPLv3 exception language. This
123 change does not impact the COPYING file that may be installed
124 by `automake --add-missing'.
125 * COPYING: Revert to GPLv2. All uses changed.
128 Rewrite NEWS for 1.11.
129 * NEWS: Rewrite, merging 1.10b and 1.10c entries.
131 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
132 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from
135 Update release statistics, improve release-stats rule.
136 * Makefile.am (release-stats): Output stderr of pstops in
137 addition to catching it, for better debugging.
138 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.10.2.
140 Cope with parallel BSD make -jN semantics.
141 When BSD `make -jN' is used without `-B' which enables backwards
142 compatible semantics, it may reuse the same shell for several
143 commands within a rule; so ensure we do not leave it in a
144 different directory, nor `exit 0' early in a multi-command rule.
145 * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): After running `distcleancheck',
146 change back to original working directory.
147 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_HIN%): Run autoheader in a
149 * lib/am/mans.am (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Do not `exit 0' early
150 in a rule that consists of several shell invocations. Parallel
151 NetBSD `make -jN' without `-B' will use only one shell for all
152 commands, but won't respawn one after `exit 0'. Fixes
153 notrans.test failure.
154 * tests/makej2.test: New test.
155 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
158 * lib/am/install.am: Fix typo.

161 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
163 Let AM_PATH_PYTHON honor python's idea about the site directory.
164 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): When computing pythondir and
165 pyexecdir, pass the expanded prefix resp. exec_prefix as `prefix'
166 to get_python_lib, so python can determine the name of the site
167 directory depending on the install location. Afterwards, replace
168 the directory names with the unexpanded values of $PYTHON_PREFIX
169 resp. $PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX again, to allow override according to
170 the documentation. Fixes site directory computation for Debian
171 and Ubuntu (`dist-packages' for a prefix of `/usr' or `/usr/local',
172 `site-packages' elsewhere).
173 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

177 Vala: for now, require GNU make.
178 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): GNU make is currently
179 required for Vala sources.
180 * tests/vala2.test, tests/vala3.test, tests/vala5.test: Require
183 2009-05-17 Jürg Billeter <j@bitron.ch>
185 Vala: Use $(srcdir) in rebuild rules.
186 valac is always run in srcdir as the generated files are distributed.
187 So srcdir needs to be taken into account in the rebuild rules to not
188 wrongly trigger a rebuild in the wrong directory.
189 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Rebuild files in
191 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules from VPATH build.
193 Vala: Add and test rebuild rules for generated header and vapi files.
194 valac will generate additional files when using, for example, -H in
195 VALAFLAGS. We need to recognize these options and add appropriate
196 rebuild rules to fix parallel build.
197 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Recognize -H, -h,
198 --header, --internal-header, --vapi, --internal-api, --gir flags
199 to valac and rebuild rules for generated headers; distribute
200 and maintainer-clean them.
201 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules.
203 2009-05-17 Jürg Billeter <j@bitron.ch>
204 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
206 Vala: Fix build when using per-target VALAFLAGS.
207 This does not yet implement full per-target support for VALAFLAGS,
208 however, this change at least fixes building when there is only one
209 target per source file, which is the most common situation.
210 * automake.in: Remove `VALAFLAGS' from `flags' in language struct.
211 (lang_vala_finish_target): Handle `*_VALAFLAGS rewriting' manually
212 here; check `VALAFLAGS' user variables.
213 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove vala5.test.
214 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Document per-target flag
217 2009-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
220 Document some formatting restrictions for Makefile.am files.
221 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation, Usage of Conditionals):
222 Variable assignments should not be indented by TABs, rule commands
223 should. Conditional keyword statements should not be indented.
227 2009-05-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
229 Fix copyright years in *.am files.
230 * lib/am/check.am, lib/am/check2.am, lib/am/distdir.am,
231 lib/am/program.am, lib/am/tags.am: Fix copyright years.
233 distdir: avoid duplicate `find' traversal with subpackages.
234 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir) [%?SUBDIRS%]: When recursing, set
236 [%?TOPDIR_P%]: When `$(am__skip_mode_fix)' is set, avoid tree
238 * tests/subpkg4.test: New test, to ensure that we still walk the
239 whole tree while fixing permissions. We don't ensure it is
241 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
243 Disable test cleanup trap with OSF1/Tru64 sh.
244 * configure.ac: Test whether /bin/sh has working 'set -e'
245 in conjunction with an exit trap. Set $am_cv_sh_errexit_works
246 accordingly, substitute sh_errexit_works, and warn about
247 leftover test directories with broken shells like Tru64 /bin/sh.
248 * tests/defs.in: Do not install any traps with broken shells.
250 2009-05-02 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
251 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
253 Recommend *-local hooks without commands, for extensibility.
254 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Show how to write the clean-local
255 extension with separate phony target.
256 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Practice what we preach
257 by marking this phony. For consistency, rename from ...
258 (check-clean-local): ... this.
260 2009-04-28 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

276 silent-rules: fix alignment of less verbose output.
277 * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define `$silent_var' as
278 VAR_ASIS, not VAR_PRETTY, to avoid squashing of multiple
280 * tests/silent.test: Amend test.
281 Report by Jan Engelhardt.
283 2009-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
285 manual: fix trivial grammar errors.

287 (Checking the Distribution, Timeline): Fix `a' vs. `an' errors
289 Report by Eric Blake.
291 Indent rule commands consistently with a TAB.

297 Prompted by report from John Calcote.
299 parallel-tests: fix recheck* targets for non-GNU make.
300 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Override AM_MAKEFLAGS
301 to portably transport the TEST_LOGS settings through the
302 recursive `make' invocations. Fixes parallel-tests9.test
303 failure with Solaris make.
304 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Also ensure that the test
305 summary is correct for `recheck'.
306 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
308 2009-04-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
310 Avoid racy depmodes with universal builds.
311 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): If universal builds are used,
313 * lib/depcomp: Ignore `-arch' argument for makedepend depmode.
314 Report by Bruno Haible, analysis by Bruno Haible, Peter O'Gorman,

319 Fix link to autotools tutorial.
320 * doc/automake.texi (Autotools Introduction): Fix broken link.
323 2009-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
325 testsuite: minor w32 fixes.
326 * tests/depend5.test: Don't fail if the system or file system
327 cannot handle weird characters, instead just try a few.
328 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Really wait until the serial test
329 has finished, before letting the cleanup trap do its work.
330 Report by Bruno Haible.
332 Avoid nonportable `./FILE' instead of `FILE' in test.
333 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not use `$(top_builddir)/sub/libname.la'
334 in *_LDADD entry if `$(top_builddir)' is `.'. Fixes test failure
335 with parallel NetBSD make.
337 Detect make `include' style also with parallel non-GNU make.
338 Parallel NetBSD make outputs `--- $target ---' messages,
339 parallel HP-UX make outputs `Making target"$target"'. Just
340 ignore all additional output for the include test.
341 * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Ignore additional output
342 produced by `make' to relax `include' style detection.
344 manual: add FAQ `Debugging Make Rules'.
345 * doc/automake.texi (Debugging Make Rules): New FAQ section.
346 (Top, FAQ): Adjust menus, and capitalization of the description
347 of the `Hard-Coded Install Paths' node.
348 (Multiple Outputs): Add comment to restore font-lock for vim.
349 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
351 Let XFile::lock warn and fail with parallel non-GNU make, too.
352 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Also match `-j' for parallel BSD
353 make, and `-P' for parallel HP-UX make.
355 Fix AM_PROG_VALAC version requirement detection.
356 * m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Remove `Vala ' from valac
357 --version string before comparing versions.
358 * tests/vala2.test: Require version 0.7.0 for the test.
359 Fixes failures of vala2.test and vala3.test with older valac.
361 Correctly treat all assignments with bogus trailing comments.
362 Before this patch, automake would silently fail to diagnose and
363 to copy into the output those variable assignments which are
364 preceded by a comment, and end in backslash newline comment.
365 * automake.in (read_am_file): When determining whether an
366 escaped newline followed by a comment is an error, correctly use
367 the parser state, not the contents of a saved comment, which
368 could still be carried over from a comment before an assignment.
370 * tests/commen11.test: New test.
371 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
372 Report by Karl Berry.
374 2009-04-14 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
376 manual: improve markup: itemize list in `Extending'.
377 * doc/automake.texi (Extending): Use `@item's for user override
380 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
382 bin_PROGRAMS = $(EXTRA_PROGRAMS) should work.
383 * automake.in (am_install_var): For `PROGRAMS' primary, strip
384 `$(EXEEXT)' here already, so the name uniquifying works even
385 when we look at names repeatedly, with inconsistent executable
386 extension; through variable references, we might have added
387 the extension ourselves earlier.
388 (handle_programs): No need to strip `$(EXEEXT)' here any more.
389 * tests/extra8.test: New test.

427 2008-10-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
429 Minor fixups for Vala support.

443 2008-10-09 Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>
445 * automake.in: Support Vala in non-recursive builds. Make sure
446 foo_VALAFLAGS really use used. Inject --library switch when building
448 * doc/automake.texi, NEWS: Document Vala support.
449 * m4/vala.m4: Rename AC_PROG_VALAC to AM_PROG_VALAC.
450 * tests/Makefile.am: Additional Vala tests.
451 * tests/vala.test: Also test VALAFLAGS support.
452 * tests/vala1.test: Test non-recursive Vala support.
453 * tests/vala2.test: Test _PKGNAME variables.
454 * tests/vala3.test: Test compiling of C code generated by Vala.
456 2008-10-09 Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>
458 Initial support for the vala programming language.
459 * automake.in: Add %known_libraries, lang_vala_rewrite,
460 lang_vala_finish and lang_vala_target_hook to support the Vala
461 programming language. Register Vala language hooks.
462 * lib/am/vala.am: Empty rules file to prevent creation of depend2
463 based rules for Vala code.
464 * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Add vala.am.
465 * m4/vala.m4: Provide AC_PROG_VALAC for detecting the Vala compiler.
466 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add vala.m4.
467 * tests/vala.test: Test Vala support.
468 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
470 2009-04-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
472 testsuite: do not fail on systems without read permissions.
473 * tests/instfail-info.test: Do not use the `non-root'
474 requirement for testing whether files may be made unreadable;
475 instead use `test -r' and skip the test if that still works.
476 * tests/instfail-java.test: Likewise.

482 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Likewise.
484 testsuite: parallel make fixes.
485 This patch fixes a couple of testsuite bugs exposed with
486 `MAKE=make\ -jN make check'.
487 * tests/libtoo10.test: Do not run `clean' in same $MAKE
488 invocation as `all check'. Fixes test failure with parallel
490 * tests/nobase.test: Be sure to create a directory before
491 creating files in it. Fixes test failure with MAKE=`make -jN'
492 for NetBSD make. This issue is hidden with parallel GNU make
493 due to its parallel breadth first update order.
494 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Skip if $MAKE contains `-j',
495 GNU make will use the environment variable $MAKE for recursion
496 and thus run in parallel even if `$MAKE -j1' was used on the
497 command line in the test. Also, after running the test proper,
498 wait long enough so that background jobs have finished and there
499 are no open files left when the cleanup code runs.
501 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
503 silent-rules reorganization, --enable-silent-rules switch.
504 This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default
505 verbosity. Since configure now needs to know whether the
506 `silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be
507 set within AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, or with a new AM_SILENT_RULES macro
508 but not any more through AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or the automake
509 command line option `--silent-rules'.
510 * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define the default verbose
511 variable in terms of `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'.
512 (handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.
513 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'. If seen,
514 enable global `silent-rules' option.
515 (usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'.
516 (parse_arguments): Do not accept `--silent-rules'.
517 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Overhaul. Document
518 AM_SILENT_RULES, --enable-silent-rules, --disable-silent-rules,
519 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY. Show an example for user-added variables
520 for less verbose output.
521 (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'.
522 (Public Macros): Document `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
524 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
525 `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac.

527 was enabled, require `AM_SILENT_RULES'; move AM_BACKSLASH
528 initialization to ...
529 * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): ... this new file, new macro.
530 Deal with `--enable-silent-rules' switch; define
531 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.
532 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add silent.m4.
533 * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use
535 * tests/flavor.test: Remove test for `--silent-rules'.
536 * tests/silent.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of

538 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
539 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
540 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
541 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
542 * tests/silent6.test: Likewise. Test `AM_SILENT_RULES' as well
543 as `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([silent-rules])' instead of

546 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; ensure the latter is rejected.
547 Test combinations of --enable-silent-rules and
548 --disable-silent-rules with `make V=0' and `make V=1'.
549 Suggestion for configure-time switch by Bob Friesenhahn.
551 manual: Add note about parallelism and tests ordering.

553 Dependencies between test logs work for tests with known
554 extensions only. Hint that tests should be prepared to be run
557 Fix maintainer-check failure.
558 * tests/suffix13.test: Use Exit not exit.
560 2009-04-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
562 parallel-tests: more testsuite exposure.
563 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Also test overriding TEST_LOGS and
566 parallel-tests: let VERBOSE=yes output appear before summary.
567 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): In `VERBOSE=yes' mode,
568 output contents of `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' before, rather than after
569 the test suite summary. This ensures that the email address
570 appears near the end of the output; also, the log file already
571 starts with a result summary anyway.
573 parallel-tests: `clean recheck' should not rerun all tests.
574 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-html): Do not rerun all
575 tests if `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' does not exist.
576 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Adjust recheck test.

587 built at all. Otherwise, define it as configure conditional.
588 * lib/am/check2.am [%am__EXEEXT%] (%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): New
589 conditional generic rule.
590 * m4/init.m4: Hook an m4_provide of `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' onto
591 Autoconf's `_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT' macro.
592 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' has been provided
593 at `AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE' time, then introduce a conditional
594 `am__EXEEXT', defined to true iff `$EXEEXT' is nonempty.
595 * tests/check5.test: Only match `_EXEEXT_[1-9]' here, to avoid
596 false positives stemming from `@am__EXEEXT_TRUE@'.

666 RECHECK_LOGS to `check' and `check-html', respectively, to avoid
667 running outdated tests. Invoking the public macros ensures
668 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time. Do not output errors
669 for tests that were not run yet. If the testsuite has not run
670 at all, run all tests.

682 parallel-tests: LOG_COMPILER for tests without known extension.
683 * automake.in (handle_tests): If we don't match a known
684 extension, define `LOG_COMPILER' as `$(LOG_COMPILE)
685 $(AM_LOG_FLAGS) $(LOG_FLAGS)' and use it as %COMPILE% in check2.
686 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
687 Document it. In the examples, suggest using the AM_*LOG_FLAGS
688 flags in Makefile.am rather than the variables without `AM_'
690 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (AM_PL_LOG_FLAGS): Renamed from

831 parallel-tests: redo lazy checking: recheck and RECHECK_LOGS.
832 Replace the LAZY_TEST_SUITE API with a simpler yet more powerful
833 one: RECHECK_LOGS specifies those tests which are to be removed
834 in any case before testing. Provide a `recheck' convenience
835 target to set RECHECK_LOGS to all failed and unexpectedly passed
836 tests. Document several ways to limit the set of tests run.
837 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (RECHECK_LOGS): New variable,
838 default to $(TESTS_LOGS).
839 (check-TESTS): Remove $(RECHECK_LOGS) not $(TEST_LOGS). Drop use
841 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Do not output note about lazy rerun, as
842 LAZY_TEST_SUITE is gone.

847 of ways the set of tests to be run can be modified. Document
848 RECHECK_LOGS and the recheck target.
849 * tests/defs.in: Unset RECHECK_LOGS not LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
850 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Adjust, replacing LAZY_TEST_SUITE
851 with corresponding RECHECK_LOGS settings.
852 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: New tests.

854 Suggestion and different implementation by Akim Demaille.
856 parallel-tests: do not mark check-TESTS as `.MAKE'.

1023 This new macro lists all public targets which invoke `make'
1024 recursively, or depend on targets which do so. It allows to
1025 prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
1026 passed on the `make' command line.
1027 * lib/am/distdir.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): New
1029 * lib/am/subdirs.am (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Likewise.
1030 * lib/am/tags.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS):
1033 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1035 Fix LAZY_TEST_SUITE handling and $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) recreation.
1036 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Expand `$(TEST_LOGS)' only once
1037 in the rule command, for systems with low command line limits.
1038 Remove $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) even in LAZY_TEST_SUITE mode.
1039 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Always recreate $(TEST_SUITE_LOG). Mention
1040 lazy mode in the summary output.
1041 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Test LAZY_TEST_SUITE semantics.
1043 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1045 Fix parallel-tests with empty $(TESTS) for BSD make.
1046 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Ignore
1047 empty line stemming from empty $(TEST_LOGS), to avoid counting
1049 (check-TESTS): If `$(TESTS)' is empty, override TEST_LOGS to be
1050 empty, rather than `.log', for BSD make.
1051 * tests/parallel-tests6.test: New test.
1052 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1054 Mark check-html and check-TESTS as recursive for BSD make.
1055 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Add check-TESTS
1056 and check-html prerequisites.
1058 Match XFAIL_TESTS correctly with Solaris make.
1059 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS]: VPATH rewriting may have
1060 changed test names, so srcdir needs to be taken into account
1061 explicitly when checking against the list of tests expected
1062 to fail. Fixes spurious FAILures from XFAIL_TESTS.
1064 Use append mode to capture parallel test output.
1065 * tests/lisp8.test: Use append mode for output from `make -j',
1066 to avoid dropped lines.
1067 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
1069 parallel-tests: Fix summary output.
1070 * lib/am/check.am (am__text_box): Fix unportable sed script,
1071 replacing `\n' in the right hand side of an `s' command with
1072 a literal newline. Kudos to Bruno Haible for the newline idea.
1073 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Update test to expose this.
1075 2009-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1077 Overhaul of tests/README.
1078 * tests/README: General overhaul. Mention parallel test suite
1079 execution, the test-suite.log file; document `Exit' vs. `exit',
1080 `defs' vs. `defs-p', the naming of `parallel-tests' tests.
1081 * README: Simplify, point to tests/README.
1083 Documentation for the parallel-tests driver.
1084 * doc/automake.texi (Tests, Options): Document the `parallel-tests'
1085 option, including new features of the test driver.
1088 New tests for `parallel-tests'.
1089 * tests/parallel-tests.test: New file, to expose a bunch of
1090 features of `parallel-tests': VERBOSE, clean, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
1091 test dependencies, DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS.

1097 * tests/defs.in: Add a `required' check for rst2html.
1098 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1100 parallel-tests: Ensure backward-compatible semantics.
1101 For each test in Automake's test suite that uses TESTS, generate
1102 an identical one that uses the `parallel-tests' option, for
1103 coverage of backward-compatible functionality.
1104 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: New file, generates distributed
1105 Makefile.am snippet tests/parallel-tests.am to list all tests
1106 that use the TESTS interface but not yet the `parallel-tests'
1107 option, with names mangled to use suffix `-p.test', in ...
1108 (parallel_tests): ... this new make macro.
1109 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/parallel-tests.am)
1110 ($(parallel_tests), defs-p): New rules.
1111 (TESTS): Add check11.test and $(parallel_tests).
1112 (check_SCRIPTS): Add defs-p, $(parallel_tests).
1113 (check-clean-local): Remove `defs-p'.
1114 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute gen-parallel-tests.
1115 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): New variable, remove $(parallel_tests).
1116 * bootstrap: Generate parallel-tests.am.
1117 * tests/check8.test: Check for circular dependencies in rules.
1118 * tests/check11.test: New test, check that SKIPs are not counted
1120 * tests/defs.in: Unset DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS, LAZY_TEST_SUITE,
1121 VERBOSE, so the tests are not influenced by the way our test

1126 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
1127 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1129 Parallel test execution: new option `parallel-tests'.
1130 * automake.in (handle_tests): Set new conditional PARALLEL_TESTS
1131 when reading check.am. Handle option `parallel-tests' and all
1132 its new semantics. Define macros TEST_SUFFIXES, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
1133 TEST_SUITE_HTML, TEST_LOGS, TEST_LOGS_TMP, suffix rules if
1134 applicable, and per-target rules for other tests. Add all log
1135 files to %clean_files at the `MOSTLY_CLEAN' level.
1136 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
1138 * lib/am/check.am [!PARALLEL_TESTS] (check-TESTS): Move existing
1139 testsuite driver under this new conditional.
1141 (am__rst_title, am__rst_section, am__text_box am__sh_e_setup)
1142 (am__check_pre, am__check_post): New internal macros.

1149 * tests/defs.in: Drop VERBOSE handling, not needed here any more.
1151 2009-03-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1153 Rename `silent' mode to `silent-rules' mode.
1154 * automake.in (define_verbose_var, verbose_flag)
1155 (define_verbose_tagvar, handle_options, handle_languages)
1156 (handle_configure, parse_arguments): Rename the `silent' option
1157 to `silent-rules', so it coincides with the `--silent-rules'
1158 command line option; adjust all code and comments.
1159 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Likewise.
1160 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake, Libtool Flags, Options):
1163 * tests/dollarvar.test, tests/silent.test, tests/silent2.test,
1164 tests/silent3.test, tests/silent4.test, tests/silent5.test,
1165 tests/silent6.test, tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1166 Suggestion by Jan Engelhardt.
1168 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1170 `silent' mode unconditionally overrides portability-recursive.
1171 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Don't handle a global `silent'
1172 option here; instead, ...
1173 (handle_options): ... handle the "normal" `silent' option here.
1174 Override `portability-recursive' here, at the last point we deal
1175 with options, instead ...
1176 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): ... of here.
1177 * tests/silent6.test: Replace unportable make snippet, remove
1178 FIXME note, add more test cases of options passed in the various
1181 Drop extra line from compile rules when `silent' is not used.
1182 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Only use the `%VERBOSE%
1183 @AM_BACKSLASH@' extra line if ?VERBOSE?.
1184 Report by Ralf Corsepius.
1186 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1188 Keep `--silent-rules' across triggered automake reruns.
1189 * automake.in (usage): Reformat to be a bit clearer.
1190 (handle_configure): Remove substitutions %STRICTNESS% and
1191 %USE-DEPS% in favor of a new substitution %AUTOMAKE-OPTIONS%
1192 that carries over all needed flags.
1193 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%): Adjust rule.
1194 * tests/flavor.test: New test, to ensure --$flavor (gnu,
1195 gnits, foreign, cygnus), --ignore-deps, and --silent-rules are
1196 preserved across automake reruns.
1197 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1199 2009-03-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1201 Provide variables for silencing of user rules.
1202 * automake.in (handle_languages): Always define `AM_V_GEN' and
1204 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Document these flags.
1205 * tests/silent7.test: New test.
1206 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1208 Redo variable naming for `silent' machinery.
1209 The public variables are named `AM_V_' plus the compiler
1210 short-hand now, e.g.: AM_V_CC, AM_V_CXXLD, AM_V_GEN. The
1211 dispatch variables are internal details and begin with
1213 * automake.in (verbose_var): Update comment.
1214 (verbose_private_var): New function. Order functions so that
1215 ones not needed outside this section are listed first.
1216 (verbose_dispatch): Remove, no need to factor this.
1217 (define_verbose_var, define_verbose_libtool): Use
1218 verbose_private_var.
1219 (define_verbose_tagvar): Likewise; and simplify.
1220 Report by Jan Engelhardt.
1222 Let -Wportability turn on/off the portability-recursive channel.
1223 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (switch_warning): switch
1224 `portability-recursive' channel as well if changing the
1225 `portability' channel.
1226 * tests/dollarvar2.test: New test.
1227 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1229 2009-03-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1231 New automake command line option `--silent-rules'.
1232 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Accept `--silent-rules; let it
1233 override command line warning settings.
1234 (usage): Document it.
1235 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake): Document it.
1237 * tests/dollarvar.test: Also test `--silent-rules'.
1238 * tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Use `$MAKE V=1' to enable verbose
1239 output, which is matched later in the test.
1240 * tests/silent6.test: New test.
1241 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1243 Documentation and tests for the `silent' option.
1245 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake): `silent' turns off some
1246 portability warnings.
1247 (Libtool Flags): `silent' silences libtool.
1248 (Options): Document the `silent' flag.
1249 * tests/dollarvar.test, tests/silent.test, tests/silent2.test,
1250 tests/silent3.test, tests/silent4.test, tests/silent5.test: New
1252 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1253 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Ignore `DESTDIR' and `V' when
1254 checking for make variables that should not be overridden from

1258 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1260 Implement `silent' build rules.
1261 * automake.in (ccer): New field in the language structure.
1262 Initialize it for all registered languages.
1263 (verbose_var, verbose_flag, verbose_dispatch)
1264 (silent_flag, define_verbose_var, define_verbose_tagvar)
1265 (define_verbose_libtool): New functions.
1266 (handle_languages, handle_programs, handle_libraries)
1267 (handle_ltlibraries, handle_configure)
1268 (define_compiler_variable, define_linker_variable)
1269 (define_per_target_linker_variable): Use them where appropriate
1270 to define variables to implement the silent output machinery.
1271 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
1272 `silent', turning off `portability-recursive'.
1273 * lib/am/depend2.am: Add %VERBOSE% and %SILENT% prefixes where
1275 * lib/am/lex.am: Likewise.
1276 * lib/am/library.am: Likewise.
1277 * lib/am/ltlibrary.am: Likewise.
1278 * lib/am/program.am: Likewise.
1279 * lib/am/yacc.am: Likewise.
1280 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Substitute, but do not define,

1301 2009-03-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1303 Ignore warnings from autom4te about Libtool macros.
1304 * tests/ltinstloc.test: When testing for presence of warnings,
1305 filter out any that are not interesting for this test, e.g.,
1306 warnings about installed files or about bogusly named cache
1307 variables in libtool.m4, emitted by recent Autoconf when older
1310 2009-03-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1312 Relax depcomp test for MSVC to not require minuso.
1313 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): When checking the msvisualcpp
1314 and msvcmsys depmodes, do not require `-c -o' to work just yet.
1315 It is not needed by the depcomp script for these depmodes, and
1316 works around the ordering issue between the tests.
1317 Report by Peter Rosin.
1319 2009-03-09 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1321 * tests/compile2.test: Fix typo.

1334 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1336 Improve `make -n dist' and `make -n distcheck' for GNU make.
1337 Ensure that `make -n dist' and `make -n distcheck' do not change
1338 files, due to GNU make executing rules containing `$(MAKE)'.
1339 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Separate the creation of
1340 `$(distdir)/$$subdir' for `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' and the recursion
1341 into the `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' in two separate rule commands.
1342 (distcheck): Exit recursive rule early when run with `make -n',
1343 as detected by a witness file.
1344 * tests/maken.test, tests/maken2.test: New tests.
1345 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1348 2009-03-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1350 Solaris make testsuite fixes.
1351 * tests/check10.test: When a rule fails, Solaris make will
1352 output the complete command that failed; in this case the test
1353 suite driver. Adjust the test to not bogusly match lines from
1354 the driver, rather than its output.
1355 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Avoid triggering VPATH rewriting,
1356 not desirable in this test.
1357 * tests/specflg10.test: Use BUILT_SOURCES to specify an
1358 intermediate target, so Solaris make knows what to do.
1360 testsuite: SKIP compile tests if configure found no compiler.
1361 * tests/depend6.test: configure will exit 77 if AC_PROG_CC found
1362 no working compiler. Allow the test to be SKIPped in that case.
1363 * tests/postproc.test: Likewise.
1364 * tests/pr243.test: Likewise.
1365 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise.
1367 Fix maintainer-check fallout.
1368 * tests/compile2.test: Use `Exit', not `exit'.

1371 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1373 Extract correct man section from files in man_MANS.
1374 * lib/am/mans.am: Extract correct man section in the presence of
1375 multiple dots in the file base name and/or directory components.
1376 * tests/man5.test: New test case.
1377 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

1390 2009-03-04 William Pursell <bill.pursell@gmail.com>
1392 Replace bare `automake' with `@command{automake}' or `Automake'.
1393 * doc/automake.texi: Avoid bare `automake' in the manual,
1394 replacing occurrences with `@command{automake}' when the command
1395 is meant, and `Automake' when speaking about the software
1398 2009-03-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1400 * lib/depcomp: Various portability and quoting nits.

1403 * lib/gnupload: Reformat and reindent.
1406 * lib/gnupload (conffile): New variable. Use throughout.
1407 (dry_run): Use `false' and `:' values. Show, don't execute,
1408 gpg signing commands upon --dry-run.
1409 (usage): Typo and formatting fixes. Mention that commands are
1411 (argument loop): Factorize a bit, fix quoting.
1412 (dprint, mkdirective, mksymlink, upload): Formatting and
1415 2009-03-04 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org>

1419 Add support for a .gnupload configuration file.
1420 Support creating and removing symlinks.
1421 Allow for several operations in a single invocation.
1422 Add debugging features.
1423 * lib/gnupload: New options --delete, --symlink, --rmsymlink,
1424 --symlink-regex, --dry-run; support `--' to separate options and
1425 commands from files. New target download.gnu.org.ua. Expand
1426 `.gnupload' file contents before command line arguments.
1428 (dprint, mkdirective, mksymlink, upload): New functions.
1431 2009-03-03 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1433 Add depmode=msvcmsys for Microsoft Visual C++ on MSYS.
1434 * lib/depcomp [msvisualcpp]: Fork fewer processes. Filter out
1435 libtool in the preprocessor invocation (as is done in
1436 depmode=cpp). Silence compiler stderr.
1437 [msvcmsys]: New depmode as a derivative of depmode=msvisualcpp.
1438 msvcmsys transforms any backslashes into forward slashes to
1439 make the grep in depend.m4 match, instead of the "cygpath -u"
1440 that is used in msvisualcpp.

1453 Fix `use constant' usage for MSYS Perl 5.6.0.
1454 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE, QUEUE_CONF_FILE, QUEUE_LOCATION)
1455 (QUEUE_STRING): Define using one `use constant' each; as perl
1456 5.6.0 (on MSYS) does not understand `use constant { ... }'.

1495 Use no-arg macros via AC_REQUIRE for consistency.
1496 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require, rather than directly
1497 expand, AM_PROG_INSTALL_SH and AM_PROG_INSTALL_STRIP.
1498 * configure: Regenerate.
1500 2009-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1515 Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
1516 Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
1517 containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play
1518 well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
1519 as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
1520 generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
1521 This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
1522 but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
1523 * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
1524 page due to missing help2man.
1525 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true
1526 if this makefile deals with man pages.

1834 Parallel automake: ordered output messages.

1838 (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
1839 messages or backtrace output.
1840 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
1841 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
1842 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
1843 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
1844 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
1846 (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
1847 to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.
1848 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Unset channel option `ordered'
1849 for fatal, automake, and verb channels.
1850 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as

1853 input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
1854 ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.

1866 factored out from main.
1867 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
1868 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
1869 of independent makefiles.

1897 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Instead of resetting the
1898 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
1899 using set_dir_cache_file.
1901 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
1902 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
1903 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
1904 as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
1905 enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.

1942 (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
1943 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
1944 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort

1957 Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported

2065 2008-09-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2067 Remove unneeded per-rule *INSTALL variables.
2069 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): Remove.
2070 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Adjust.
2071 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Remove.
2072 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Adjust.
2073 * lib/am/ltlibs.am (%DIR%LTLIBRARIES_INSTALL): Remove.
2074 (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Adjust.
2075 * lib/am/progs.am (%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL): Remove.

2078 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Adjust.
2079 * lib/am/scripts.am (%DIR%SCRIPT_INSTALL): Remove.
2080 (install-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Adjust.
2082 Compactify program rules using ternary operators.
2083 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Uglify^WCompactify
2084 using ternary operators `%KEY?TRUE:FALSE%'.
2085 (uninstall-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Likewise.
2087 New doc section about command line length limits.
2088 * doc/automake.texi (Length limitations): New node.
2089 (Alternative): `nobase_' is not always equivalent to several
2091 (Install): Mention multi-file install.
2092 * NEWS: Expand on the issue, list some more user-visible
2095 Install nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES before bin_PROGRAMS.
2096 * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
2097 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
2098 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.
2099 * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.
2101 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
2102 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
2103 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
2104 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
2105 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
2106 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
2107 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
2108 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
2109 passed to libtool in one invocation.
2110 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not
2111 reorder libraries upon installation. Remove spurious empty
2113 * tests/ltorder.test: New test.
2114 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2116 Fix -rpath arguments for nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES.
2117 * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): New hash %instsubdirs to
2118 track the dirname of nobase ltlibraries, and tack it onto the
2119 end of the -rpath argument. Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
2120 installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.
2121 * tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Expose this bug here.
2122 * tests/ltinstloc.test: New test.
2123 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2126 Man pages for automake and aclocal.
2127 * configure.ac (HELP2MAN): New substitution.
2128 * doc/Makefile.am (dist_man1_MANS, MAINTAINERCLEANFILES)
2129 (update_mans): New macros.
2130 ($(srcdir)/aclocal-$(APIVERSION).1)
2131 ($(srcdir)/automake-$(APIVERSION).1): New rules, generate
2132 man pages from the command line help with help2man.
2133 ($(srcdir)/aclocal.1, $(srcdir)/automake.1): New rules, for
2134 `.so' man page links to the versioned pages.
2137 2008-09-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2139 Faster install for libtool outputs.
2140 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Invoke `libtool
2141 --mode=install' with multiple libraries at once.
2142 (%DIR%LTLIBRARIES_INSTALL): No need to use install_sh any more.

2144 of the libtool special-casing by invoking it for multiple

2149 Fast install and uninstall for SCRIPTS.

2151 independent of `%?BASE%'.
2152 (install-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Install multiple scripts at once,
2153 using awk and a number of sed scripts.
2154 (uninstall-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Compute the installed names, and
2155 remove them, all at once.
2156 (%DIR%SCRIPT_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
2159 Multi-file install for PROGRAMS.
2160 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Allow to install
2161 several programs with one install invocation, when not using
2162 libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
2163 create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a
2164 constant number of times in the fast path; uses awk and sed also
2165 in the default path.
2166 (%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
2169 Enhance cleaning of programs in libtool mode.
2170 * lib/am/progs.am (clean-%DIR%PROGRAMS) [?LIBTOOL?]: Fork less
2171 often, avoid removing programs twice if $(EXEEXT) is empty.
2172 * tests/nobase-libtool.test: Also test PROGRAMS, in order to
2173 exercise the code path.

2182 (install-man%SECTION%): Gather lists of man pages to install,
2183 and install up to 40 of those that do not have to be renamed
2184 at once. Fail if installation of any file fails.
2185 (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Rewrite to use fewer sed invocations.
2186 * doc/automake.texi (Man pages): Hint the user to the fast path.
2188 * tests/instmany-mans.test: New test.
2189 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2191 2008-09-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2193 Faster `make uninstall'; fast install for JAVA.

2219 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): If `install' fails,
2220 return its exit failure, not 1.
2221 * tests/instfail.test: New test, for PROGRAMS (without libtool),
2222 LIBRARIES, including nobase variants.

2240 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2242 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
2243 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
2244 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
2245 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
2246 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
2247 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
2248 lower the limit to 40, too.
2249 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
2250 (am__base_list): New macro.
2251 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
2252 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
2253 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Likewise.
2255 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2257 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
2258 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
2259 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
2260 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
2261 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
2262 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
2263 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
2264 * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function. Use it throughout,
2265 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.

2476 2008-09-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2478 Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
2479 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
2480 from output for comparison.
2482 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
2483 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
2484 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
2485 relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted
2487 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fix current check for
2488 $(am__cd) within backquotes a bit. Add new check for `cd' to a

2499 Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
2500 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
2501 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
2502 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
2503 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.
2505 2008-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2507 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).
2508 * m4/maintainer.m4 (AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Allow for an optional
2509 first argument of `enable' or `disable', setting the default.
2510 * doc/automake.texi (Optional, maintainer-mode): Document.

2527 2008-08-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2529 Fix rebuilding of removed subdir/Makefile.in files.
2530 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%) [?!TOPDIR_P?]: If
2531 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
2532 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.
2533 * tests/remake6.test, tests/remake7.test: New tests.
2534 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2535 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2536 Report and initial patch by Ilya N. Golubev.
2538 2008-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2540 * tests/notrans.test: Use multiple man files of each type.
2542 Fix maintainer-check failures.
2543 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Drop TAB.

2560 2008-06-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2562 Introduce macro $(am__mv) to facilitate 'libtool --dry-run'.
2563 * lib/am/depend.am (am__mv): New macro, set to 'mv -f'.
2564 * lib/am/depend2.am: Use throughout to move the temporary
2565 depfile *.Tpo to its final destination *.Po.
2567 2008-06-18 Rafael Espindola <espindola@google.com>
2569 * lib/config-ml.in: don't handle --enable-shared and --enable-static.

2573 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): New variable.
2574 (am__nobase_list): Use it.
2576 Fix conditional rules competing with config.status rules.
2577 * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the
2578 conditional config.status rule.
2579 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
2581 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
2582 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
2583 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
2584 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
2585 (handle_configure) <CONFIG_CLEAN_VPATH_FILES>: New variable, for
2586 links where source and dest are equal.
2587 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Remove, if build tree not

2641 (scan_autoconf_config_files): Record condition if any.
2642 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace _AM_COND_IF, _AM_COND_ELSE,
2643 _AM_COND_ENDIF, updating @cond_stack as appropriate.
2644 (handle_configure): Prefix config.status rule with condition.
2645 Check that m4 quotation is done consistently.
2646 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITION): Define `_AM_COND_VALUE_name'
2647 with `name' being the name of the condition, to its shell

2652 * m4/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2653 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Optional, Conditionals):
2654 Document AM_COND_IF.
2656 * tests/cond39.test, tests/cond40.test, tests/cond41.test,
2657 tests/cond42.test, tests/cond43.test: New tests.
2658 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2660 2008-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2662 * doc/automake.texi (@ovar): New macro, from autoconf.texi.
2664 Suggestion by Eric Blake.
2666 2008-03-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2668 * lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
2670 2008-03-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2672 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Linking, Extending):
2673 Fix underfull and overfull lines, fix wording a bit.

2679 (fetch): Pull config.guess and config.sub from git repo now.
2681 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
2682 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.
2683 (xsystem_hint): New function, like xsystem but allows to pass
2686 2008-03-11 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>

2689 * automake.in (handle_man_pages), lib/am/mans.am: Implement
2690 notrans_ prefix for MANS primary and rework dependencies for
2691 install-man%SECTION%; use only vars defined in Makefile.am.

2693 Document notrans_ prefix.
2695 * tests/notrans.test: New test.

2700 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2702 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
2703 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
2704 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
2705 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
2706 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
2707 a problem, it should be revisited.
2709 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
2710 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
2711 files keyed by their target directory.
2712 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
2713 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
2714 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
2715 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
2716 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
2717 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
2718 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
2719 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
2721 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
2722 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
2723 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
2724 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
2725 a list for byte compilation after installation.
2726 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
2727 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
2728 to install multiple files at once.
2730 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
2732 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2734 Require unreleased Autoconf for fixed AC_PROG_INSTALL.
2735 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump AC_PREREQ to 2.61-341,
2737 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
2738 failure early and provide a sensible error message.
2740 Drop usage of obsolete macros AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
2741 * tests/ansi4.test: Drop AC_OBJEXT and AC_EXEEXT.
2742 * tests/ansi6.test: Likewise.

2753 Skip instsh3.test if `touch -t' does not work.
2754 * tests/instsh3.test: Test for `touch -t', fails with Solaris
2757 Report by Younes Younes.
2759 2008-02-27 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
2761 * doc/automake.texi (wildcards): Improve "Why doesn't Automake
2762 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
2764 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2766 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
2767 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
2768 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
2769 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
2770 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
2771 setting MAKE to test gmake.
2772 Report by Patrick Welche.
2774 2008-02-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2785 2008-02-05 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2789 2008-02-05 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
2791 * doc/automake.texi (CVS): configure.ac will appear newer, not
2792 older, than configure. Use `lexical' instead of `alphabetical'.
2794 2008-01-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2796 * tests/man3.test: Avoid `make VAR=value'.

2799 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2801 * tests/instsh2.test: Split off testing of `install-sh -C' ...

3416 * lib/install-sh (initialize_posix_glob): New var.
3417 Use it instead of setting posix_glob inline.
3418 (posix_glob): Use '?'/''/: instead of ''/yes/no, for convenience.
3419 (cmpprog, CMPPROG): New vars, since we use cmp rather than the diff
3421 Use LC_ALL before invoking 'ls' when we depend on its output format.
3422 Don't use awk; just use the shell's builtin features.
3423 Clean up $dsttmp if -C detects no installation is needed.
3424 * tests/defs.in (is_newest): Renamed from is_younger; the new
3425 name is more accurate. All uses changed.
3426 (old_timestamp): New var.
3427 * tests/instsh2.test: Rewrite to avoid the need for sleeping.
3429 2006-12-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3446 2006-12-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3448 Simplify install-sh and its test. This shouldn't change any behavior.
3449 (This patch is a subset of the patch proposed in
3450 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-10/msg00077.html>.)
3451 * lib/install-sh (usage): Use usual GNU style.
3452 (dstarg): Rename as...
3453 (dst_arg): this for consistency.
3454 Simplify quoting of assignments.
3456 Don't use '\' to continue commands: && suffices.
3457 Remove useless "continue" in the argument processing,
3458 and factor the shifts.
3459 * tests/defs.in: Some improvements to make it set -e clean.
3460 Use the traditional ":" trick to protect loops from being empty.

3473 amhello, to prevent gmake from invoking make with MAKEFLAGS
3474 it does not understand.

3518 %sourceflags accordingly.

3624 mode in depend2.am. Fixes build failure for FreeBSD's c89,
3625 which ignores unknown options only after the first non-option.

3641 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
3642 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
3643 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
3644 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
3645 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
3646 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
3647 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.

3679 against currently running test for the first and last element
3680 of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
3681 on these words, too.

3689 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
3690 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).

3776 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not

3864 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
3865 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
3867 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
3868 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
3869 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
3870 Report from Bas Wijnen.
3871 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
3872 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3874 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
3875 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
3876 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
3877 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
3878 if we cannot create this file.
3879 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
3880 (unlink_tmp): New function.
3881 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
3883 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3885 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
3886 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
3887 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
3888 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
3890 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
3891 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
3893 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
3895 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3897 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
3898 can install only one file at a time.
3899 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
3900 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
3901 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
3902 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
3903 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
3904 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
3905 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
3906 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
3907 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
3908 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
3909 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
3910 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
3911 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
3912 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
3913 intermediate directories; this is safer.
3914 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
3915 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
3916 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
3917 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
3918 traditional implementations.
3920 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3922 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
3924 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3926 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
3927 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
3928 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
3930 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3931 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3933 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
3934 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
3935 computed by config.status.
3936 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
3937 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
3940 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
3941 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3943 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
3944 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
3945 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
3947 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3949 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
3951 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3953 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
3955 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3956 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3958 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
3959 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
3960 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
3961 Fix some comment typos.
3963 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3965 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
3966 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
3967 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
3969 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
3972 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
3973 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
3974 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
3975 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
3976 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
3978 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
3980 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
3982 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
3983 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
3985 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
3986 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
3987 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
3990 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
3992 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
3994 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
3996 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
3997 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
3998 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
4000 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4002 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
4003 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
4004 directory component.
4005 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
4007 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
4008 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
4009 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
4011 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4013 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
4014 New upstream versions.
4016 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4018 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
4019 repository, they use SVN now.
4021 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
4023 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
4024 savannah.nongnu.org.
4026 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4028 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
4029 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
4030 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
4032 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4034 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
4035 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
4036 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
4037 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
4038 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
4039 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
4040 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
4042 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4044 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
4046 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
4047 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
4049 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
4050 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
4052 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
4053 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
4054 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
4055 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
4056 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
4058 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
4060 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
4062 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
4063 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
4064 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
4067 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
4068 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
4071 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
4072 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
4073 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
4075 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4077 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
4078 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
4080 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
4083 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
4084 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
4087 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
4088 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
4089 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
4091 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
4092 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
4093 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
4094 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
4096 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
4097 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
4098 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
4100 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
4101 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
4102 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
4105 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
4106 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
4107 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
4110 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
4111 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
4112 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
4115 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
4116 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
4117 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
4118 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
4120 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
4121 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
4122 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
4123 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
4124 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
4125 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
4128 2006-04-26 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org> (tiny change)
4130 * doc/automake.texi (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Fix typo.
4132 2006-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4134 * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname.
4136 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4138 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
4139 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
4140 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
4141 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
4143 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4145 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
4146 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
4147 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
4148 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
4149 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
4150 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
4151 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
4152 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

4155 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4157 * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
4158 failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
4159 Report from Paul Lunau.
4160 * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.

4165 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Match XFAIL_TESTS delimited by
4166 TABs as well as spaces. Fixes PR automake/490.

4168 * tests/Makefile.am, THANKS: Update.
4169 Report from Diab Jerius <djerius@cfa.harvard.edu>.
4171 2006-04-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4173 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (find_file): Fix a typo in the
4174 description; eliminate the duplicate error message.
4175 * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): `Invoking Automake' is the name
4176 of the usage node for `automake'

4182 * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Require Autoconf 2.59c,
4183 because it uses `datarootdir'. Bump copyright year and serial.

4189 2006-04-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4191 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_hash_varname, _hash_values): New functions.
4192 (_gen_varname): Use _hash_values, and return a flag indicating whether
4193 the variable name was generated or reused.

4226 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4228 * aclocal.in ($m4_include_rx): Do not recognize `include', and
4229 adjust scan_configure_dep and scan_file accordingly.
4230 (scan_configure_dep): Do not search white lines.
4231 (scan_file): Strip comments from current line after checking
4232 for serial, so that aclocal does not trip on `m4_include' macros
4233 in comments. Report from Mike Frysinger.
4234 * tests/acloca21.test: New file.

4290 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Unlink `aclocal.m4' before
4291 writing into it, to break a symlinked file.

4297 Allow package trees (packages with subpackages) to share
4298 common distributed auxiliary files (and directories) that
4299 reside within a subpackage.
4301 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir %?TOPDIR_P%): Do not fail if
4302 `$(distdir)' already exists.
4303 (%?SUBDIRS%): Set `am__remove_distdir' to `:' to prevent
4304 removal of subpackage trees for distribution.

4371 * lib/install-sh (dstdir): Don't use semicolons inside { } in
4372 sed scripts, as Posix says it's not portable.
4373 * lib/missing (file): Likewise.
4374 * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Likewise.
4375 * tests/comment7.test, tests/comment9.test, tests/confh.test: Likewise

4393 2006-01-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4395 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
4396 Mention the file extensions that usually appear in _DEPENDENCIES,

4402 * automake.in ($gen_copyright, version): Likewise.
4403 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal, version): Likewise.

4411 (handle_dist, handle_configure): Use fill_dist_dirs.
4412 * tests/distdir.test: Test for cases where $(top_srcdir) or

4415 2006-01-05 Zack Weinberg <zackw@panix.com>
4416 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4418 * lib/depcomp: Add 'ia64hp' dependency style.
4419 Zack's original patch was contributed to GCC on 2005-06-13.
4422 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4424 * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that
4425 the code is portable to both POSIX and pre-POSIX shells.
4427 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4429 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',
4430 suggested by Eric Blake.
4432 2005-10-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4434 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Typo.
4435 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (transform_variable_recursively): Typo
4438 2005-10-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4440 * ChangeLog.03, automake.in, tests/overrid.test: Typos.
4442 2005-10-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4444 * tests/nobase.test: Exercise previous patch.
4446 2005-10-03 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com> (tiny change)

4452 2005-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4454 * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
4455 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
4456 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
4457 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
4458 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
4460 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
4462 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4464 * automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.

4473 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (variable_value): Do not read the TRUE
4474 value of a conditionally defined variable.
4475 Report from Juergen Leising.
4477 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
4478 $(MAKE) invocations.
4479 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4481 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
4482 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
4483 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
4484 Report from Stepan Kasal.
4486 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
4487 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
4489 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4491 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
4492 the $(infodir) exists.
4494 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4496 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
4498 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4500 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
4501 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
4503 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
4504 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
4505 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
4506 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
4507 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
4508 for missing files that can be installed.
4509 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
4511 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4513 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
4514 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
4516 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
4517 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
4518 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
4520 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4522 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
4523 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
4524 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
4525 if the usual candidates show up.
4527 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4529 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
4531 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

4536 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4538 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
4539 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
4541 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4543 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
4544 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
4546 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
4548 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
4549 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
4552 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4554 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
4555 fix an underful hbox.
4556 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
4557 New upstream versions.
4559 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4561 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
4563 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4565 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
4566 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
4567 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
4568 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
4569 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
4571 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
4573 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
4574 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
4575 Report from Harald Dunkel.
4577 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
4579 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
4580 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
4581 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
4582 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
4584 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4586 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
4587 `mkdir -p' does not work.
4588 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
4589 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
4590 Report from Noah Friedman.
4592 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
4593 Report from Karl Berry.
4595 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4596 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4598 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
4599 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
4600 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
4602 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4604 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
4605 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
4606 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
4607 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
4608 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
4609 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
4610 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
4611 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
4612 Report from Ed Hartnett.
4614 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4616 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
4618 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
4619 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
4620 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
4621 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
4622 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
4624 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4626 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4627 Fix redirections in previous patch.
4629 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

4632 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
4633 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
4634 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
4635 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
4636 Report from Bob Proulx.
4638 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
4640 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
4642 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
4644 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4646 Fix PR automake/461:
4647 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
4648 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
4649 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
4650 Report from Tom Tromey.
