3 tests/README: warn about zsh incompatibilities.
4 * tests/README (User interface, Getting details from failures):
5 Explicitly state that every test is a "shell script", not just
6 a "script", and that it's run by `/bin/sh' by default.
7 * tests/README (User interface, Supported shells): New subsection,
8 telling about expected portability of the automake test scripts,
9 describing a zsh incompatibility (w.r.t. $0), and a workaround to
10 it (with the `--no-function-argzero' option).
12 testsuite: fix a minor glitch.
13 * tests/defs.in (exit trap): Use `$me', not `$as_me', as the
14 name of the current test (used in error messages).
17 2009-07-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
19 manual: fix a trivial grammar error.
20 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Fix grammar.
22 2009-06-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
24 AM_PROG_GCJ: use AC_CHECK_TOOLS for gcj, for cross compilation.
25 * m4/gcj.m4 (AM_PROG_GCJ): Use AC_CHECK_TOOLS, rather than
26 AC_CHECK_PROGS, when searching for `gcj'.
30 2009-05-24 Jack Kelly <endgame.dos@gmail.com> (tiny change)
31 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
33 AM_PROG_GCJ currently fails to define OBJEXT and EXEEXT.
34 * tests/gcj6.test: New test.
35 * tests/Makefile.am: Update; mark gcj6.test as XFAIL.
38 2009-05-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
40 parallel-tests: avoid GNU make 3.80 substitution bug.
41 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (check-TESTS): Remove any
42 `.log' entries from `$(TEST_LOGS)' even if the list is nonempty,
43 to work around GNU make 3.80 substitution reference issue with
44 trailing white space in the variable.
45 * tests/parallel-tests10.test: New test.
46 * tests/parallel-tests6.test: Update comment.
47 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

51 2009-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
53 testsuite: unset installation directory variables.
54 * tests/defs.in: Before test execution, be sure to unset all
55 installation directory variables, so they cannot have an effect
56 on a `make -e install' command within a test.
57 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
59 testsuite: do not change the mode of installed Libtool files.
60 * tests/defs.in: Do not use `chmod -R' on the test directory, as
61 that may change or try to change the mode of installed files:
62 the test directory may contain symlinks to ltmain.sh files from
63 a Libtool installation, and Solaris `chmod -R' touches symlink
64 targets. Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in distdir.am.
66 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
68 testsuite: do not fail in cleanup code.
69 * tests/defs.in: Turn off errexit in the cleanup trap, to avoid
70 a test failure due to a nonzero command.
72 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
74 2009-05-23 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com>
76 python: do not install in system directories on Darwin 9.
77 On Darwin 9, get_python_lib returns a path below `/Library/Python'
78 regardless of the `prefix' argument it was passed, causing `make
79 install' to target the system directories regardless of `--prefix'
80 argument used. Work around this Darwin bug by ignoring the result
81 of get_python_lib if it points outside of the passed prefix, and
82 the prefix was not a system directory.
83 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): If the prefix does not match the
84 initial portion of the pythondir returned by get_python_lib, then
85 ignore it unless the configured prefix is `/usr' or starts with
86 `/System'. Fixes instmany-python.test failure on Mac OS X 10.5.7.
89 2009-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
91 Clarify how to enable `silent-rules' and other global options.
92 * doc/automake.texi (Options): When introducing options, be more
93 careful to note that not all of them can be specified in
94 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS statements, and that some do not make sense in
95 subdirectories. Note more prominently that `silent-rules' can
96 only be specified in configure.ac.
97 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Improve error
98 message for `silent-rules', `tar-v7', `tar-ustar', `tar-pax'
99 options specified in Makefile.am files.
100 Report by Bruno Haible.

114 Report by Peter O'Gorman.
116 2009-05-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
118 testsuite: also try `jot' as `seq' replacement.
119 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Try BSD `jot' before resorting to a
120 slow but portable shell loop.
121 * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
122 * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
123 Suggestion by Peter O'Gorman.
125 Fix test failure when pkg.m4 is not found, only pkg-config.
126 * tests/vala5.test: Update comment, this test is not expected to
127 fail any more. Require valac version 0.7.0. Skip if configure
128 fails, could be due to unexpanded PKG_CHECK_MODULES or too old
130 Report by Simon Josefsson.
132 2009-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
135 * configure.ac: Bump version to 1.11.
136 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.11. Remove line
139 Fix maintainer-check failures.
140 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Use `$(am__cd)' instead
142 * tests/vala2.test: Use `rm -f' instead of `rm'.
144 Revert Automake license to GPLv2+.
145 Automake will move to GPLv3+ once the Exception statement has
146 been rewritten to use the new GPLv3 exception language. This
147 change does not impact the COPYING file that may be installed
148 by `automake --add-missing'.
149 * COPYING: Revert to GPLv2. All uses changed.
152 Rewrite NEWS for 1.11.
153 * NEWS: Rewrite, merging 1.10b and 1.10c entries.
155 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
156 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from
159 Update release statistics, improve release-stats rule.
160 * Makefile.am (release-stats): Output stderr of pstops in
161 addition to catching it, for better debugging.
162 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.10.2.
164 Cope with parallel BSD make -jN semantics.
165 When BSD `make -jN' is used without `-B' which enables backwards
166 compatible semantics, it may reuse the same shell for several
167 commands within a rule; so ensure we do not leave it in a
168 different directory, nor `exit 0' early in a multi-command rule.
169 * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): After running `distcleancheck',
170 change back to original working directory.
171 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_HIN%): Run autoheader in a
173 * lib/am/mans.am (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Do not `exit 0' early
174 in a rule that consists of several shell invocations. Parallel
175 NetBSD `make -jN' without `-B' will use only one shell for all
176 commands, but won't respawn one after `exit 0'. Fixes
177 notrans.test failure.
178 * tests/makej2.test: New test.
179 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
182 * lib/am/install.am: Fix typo.

185 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
187 Let AM_PATH_PYTHON honor python's idea about the site directory.
188 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): When computing pythondir and
189 pyexecdir, pass the expanded prefix resp. exec_prefix as `prefix'
190 to get_python_lib, so python can determine the name of the site
191 directory depending on the install location. Afterwards, replace
192 the directory names with the unexpanded values of $PYTHON_PREFIX
193 resp. $PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX again, to allow override according to
194 the documentation. Fixes site directory computation for Debian
195 and Ubuntu (`dist-packages' for a prefix of `/usr' or `/usr/local',
196 `site-packages' elsewhere).
197 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

201 Vala: for now, require GNU make.
202 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): GNU make is currently
203 required for Vala sources.
204 * tests/vala2.test, tests/vala3.test, tests/vala5.test: Require
207 2009-05-17 Jürg Billeter <j@bitron.ch>
209 Vala: Use $(srcdir) in rebuild rules.
210 valac is always run in srcdir as the generated files are distributed.
211 So srcdir needs to be taken into account in the rebuild rules to not
212 wrongly trigger a rebuild in the wrong directory.
213 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Rebuild files in
215 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules from VPATH build.
217 Vala: Add and test rebuild rules for generated header and vapi files.
218 valac will generate additional files when using, for example, -H in
219 VALAFLAGS. We need to recognize these options and add appropriate
220 rebuild rules to fix parallel build.
221 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Recognize -H, -h,
222 --header, --internal-header, --vapi, --internal-api, --gir flags
223 to valac and rebuild rules for generated headers; distribute
224 and maintainer-clean them.
225 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules.

230 Vala: Fix build when using per-target VALAFLAGS.
231 This does not yet implement full per-target support for VALAFLAGS,
232 however, this change at least fixes building when there is only one
233 target per source file, which is the most common situation.
234 * automake.in: Remove `VALAFLAGS' from `flags' in language struct.
235 (lang_vala_finish_target): Handle `*_VALAFLAGS rewriting' manually
236 here; check `VALAFLAGS' user variables.
237 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove vala5.test.
238 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Document per-target flag
241 2009-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
244 Document some formatting restrictions for Makefile.am files.
245 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation, Usage of Conditionals):
246 Variable assignments should not be indented by TABs, rule commands
247 should. Conditional keyword statements should not be indented.
251 2009-05-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
253 Fix copyright years in *.am files.
254 * lib/am/check.am, lib/am/check2.am, lib/am/distdir.am,
255 lib/am/program.am, lib/am/tags.am: Fix copyright years.
257 distdir: avoid duplicate `find' traversal with subpackages.
258 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir) [%?SUBDIRS%]: When recursing, set
260 [%?TOPDIR_P%]: When `$(am__skip_mode_fix)' is set, avoid tree
262 * tests/subpkg4.test: New test, to ensure that we still walk the
263 whole tree while fixing permissions. We don't ensure it is
265 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
267 Disable test cleanup trap with OSF1/Tru64 sh.
268 * configure.ac: Test whether /bin/sh has working 'set -e'
269 in conjunction with an exit trap. Set $am_cv_sh_errexit_works
270 accordingly, substitute sh_errexit_works, and warn about
271 leftover test directories with broken shells like Tru64 /bin/sh.
272 * tests/defs.in: Do not install any traps with broken shells.
274 2009-05-02 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
275 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
277 Recommend *-local hooks without commands, for extensibility.
278 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Show how to write the clean-local
279 extension with separate phony target.
280 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Practice what we preach
281 by marking this phony. For consistency, rename from ...
282 (check-clean-local): ... this.

321 Prompted by report from John Calcote.
323 parallel-tests: fix recheck* targets for non-GNU make.
324 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Override AM_MAKEFLAGS
325 to portably transport the TEST_LOGS settings through the
326 recursive `make' invocations. Fixes parallel-tests9.test
327 failure with Solaris make.
328 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Also ensure that the test
329 summary is correct for `recheck'.
330 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
332 2009-04-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
334 Avoid racy depmodes with universal builds.

347 2009-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
349 testsuite: minor w32 fixes.
350 * tests/depend5.test: Don't fail if the system or file system
351 cannot handle weird characters, instead just try a few.
352 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Really wait until the serial test
353 has finished, before letting the cleanup trap do its work.
354 Report by Bruno Haible.
356 Avoid nonportable `./FILE' instead of `FILE' in test.
357 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not use `$(top_builddir)/sub/libname.la'
358 in *_LDADD entry if `$(top_builddir)' is `.'. Fixes test failure
359 with parallel NetBSD make.
361 Detect make `include' style also with parallel non-GNU make.
362 Parallel NetBSD make outputs `--- $target ---' messages,
363 parallel HP-UX make outputs `Making target"$target"'. Just
364 ignore all additional output for the include test.
365 * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Ignore additional output
366 produced by `make' to relax `include' style detection.
368 manual: add FAQ `Debugging Make Rules'.
369 * doc/automake.texi (Debugging Make Rules): New FAQ section.
370 (Top, FAQ): Adjust menus, and capitalization of the description
371 of the `Hard-Coded Install Paths' node.
372 (Multiple Outputs): Add comment to restore font-lock for vim.
373 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
375 Let XFile::lock warn and fail with parallel non-GNU make, too.
376 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Also match `-j' for parallel BSD
377 make, and `-P' for parallel HP-UX make.
379 Fix AM_PROG_VALAC version requirement detection.
380 * m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Remove `Vala ' from valac
381 --version string before comparing versions.
382 * tests/vala2.test: Require version 0.7.0 for the test.
383 Fixes failures of vala2.test and vala3.test with older valac.
385 Correctly treat all assignments with bogus trailing comments.
386 Before this patch, automake would silently fail to diagnose and
387 to copy into the output those variable assignments which are
388 preceded by a comment, and end in backslash newline comment.
389 * automake.in (read_am_file): When determining whether an
390 escaped newline followed by a comment is an error, correctly use
391 the parser state, not the contents of a saved comment, which
392 could still be carried over from a comment before an assignment.
394 * tests/commen11.test: New test.
395 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

404 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
406 bin_PROGRAMS = $(EXTRA_PROGRAMS) should work.
407 * automake.in (am_install_var): For `PROGRAMS' primary, strip
408 `$(EXEEXT)' here already, so the name uniquifying works even
409 when we look at names repeatedly, with inconsistent executable
410 extension; through variable references, we might have added
411 the extension ourselves earlier.

470 foo_VALAFLAGS really use used. Inject --library switch when building
472 * doc/automake.texi, NEWS: Document Vala support.
473 * m4/vala.m4: Rename AC_PROG_VALAC to AM_PROG_VALAC.

480 2008-10-09 Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>
482 Initial support for the vala programming language.
483 * automake.in: Add %known_libraries, lang_vala_rewrite,
484 lang_vala_finish and lang_vala_target_hook to support the Vala
485 programming language. Register Vala language hooks.
486 * lib/am/vala.am: Empty rules file to prevent creation of depend2
487 based rules for Vala code.
488 * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Add vala.am.
489 * m4/vala.m4: Provide AC_PROG_VALAC for detecting the Vala compiler.
490 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add vala.m4.
491 * tests/vala.test: Test Vala support.
492 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
494 2009-04-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
496 testsuite: do not fail on systems without read permissions.
497 * tests/instfail-info.test: Do not use the `non-root'

508 testsuite: parallel make fixes.
509 This patch fixes a couple of testsuite bugs exposed with
510 `MAKE=make\ -jN make check'.
511 * tests/libtoo10.test: Do not run `clean' in same $MAKE
512 invocation as `all check'. Fixes test failure with parallel
514 * tests/nobase.test: Be sure to create a directory before
515 creating files in it. Fixes test failure with MAKE=`make -jN'
516 for NetBSD make. This issue is hidden with parallel GNU make
517 due to its parallel breadth first update order.
518 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Skip if $MAKE contains `-j',
519 GNU make will use the environment variable $MAKE for recursion
520 and thus run in parallel even if `$MAKE -j1' was used on the
521 command line in the test. Also, after running the test proper,
522 wait long enough so that background jobs have finished and there
523 are no open files left when the cleanup code runs.

528 This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default
529 verbosity. Since configure now needs to know whether the
530 `silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be
531 set within AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, or with a new AM_SILENT_RULES macro
532 but not any more through AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or the automake
533 command line option `--silent-rules'.
534 * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define the default verbose
535 variable in terms of `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'.
536 (handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.
537 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'. If seen,
538 enable global `silent-rules' option.
539 (usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'.
540 (parse_arguments): Do not accept `--silent-rules'.
541 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Overhaul. Document
542 AM_SILENT_RULES, --enable-silent-rules, --disable-silent-rules,
543 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY. Show an example for user-added variables
544 for less verbose output.
545 (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'.
546 (Public Macros): Document `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
548 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
549 `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac.
550 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If the `silent-rules' option
551 was enabled, require `AM_SILENT_RULES'; move AM_BACKSLASH
552 initialization to ...
553 * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): ... this new file, new macro.
554 Deal with `--enable-silent-rules' switch; define
555 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.
556 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add silent.m4.
557 * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use
559 * tests/flavor.test: Remove test for `--silent-rules'.
560 * tests/silent.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
561 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; use `--enable-silent-rules'.
562 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
563 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
564 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
565 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
566 * tests/silent6.test: Likewise. Test `AM_SILENT_RULES' as well
567 as `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([silent-rules])' instead of
569 * tests/silent7.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
570 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; ensure the latter is rejected.
571 Test combinations of --enable-silent-rules and
572 --disable-silent-rules with `make V=0' and `make V=1'.
573 Suggestion for configure-time switch by Bob Friesenhahn.
575 manual: Add note about parallelism and tests ordering.
576 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
577 Dependencies between test logs work for tests with known
578 extensions only. Hint that tests should be prepared to be run
581 Fix maintainer-check failure.
582 * tests/suffix13.test: Use Exit not exit.
584 2009-04-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
586 parallel-tests: more testsuite exposure.
587 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Also test overriding TEST_LOGS and
590 parallel-tests: let VERBOSE=yes output appear before summary.
591 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): In `VERBOSE=yes' mode,
592 output contents of `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' before, rather than after
593 the test suite summary. This ensures that the email address
594 appears near the end of the output; also, the log file already
595 starts with a result summary anyway.
597 parallel-tests: `clean recheck' should not rerun all tests.
598 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-html): Do not rerun all
599 tests if `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' does not exist.
600 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Adjust recheck test.
601 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Adjust recheck-html test.
603 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.

606 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
608 parallel-tests: Fix driver for nonempty executable extension.
609 * automake.in (handle_tests): New substitution `%am__EXEEXT%',
610 defined as 'FALSE' for non-generic rules, or if no programs are
611 built at all. Otherwise, define it as configure conditional.
612 * lib/am/check2.am [%am__EXEEXT%] (%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): New
613 conditional generic rule.
614 * m4/init.m4: Hook an m4_provide of `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' onto
615 Autoconf's `_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT' macro.
616 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' has been provided
617 at `AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE' time, then introduce a conditional
618 `am__EXEEXT', defined to true iff `$EXEEXT' is nonempty.
619 * tests/check5.test: Only match `_EXEEXT_[1-9]' here, to avoid
620 false positives stemming from `@am__EXEEXT_TRUE@'.
623 2009-04-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
625 Fix a couple of $(EXEEXT)-related testsuite failure.
626 * tests/check8.test: Allow executable extensions in test suite
628 * tests/check9.test: Add `$(EXEEXT)' manually to @substituted@
631 * NEWS: Update for last patch.

647 Do not remove texinfo outputs upon mostlyclean.
648 * lib/am/texinfos.am: New substitutions %MOSTLYCLEAN%,
650 (clean-aminfo): New target, remove %TEXICLEAN% if nonemtpy,
651 declare phony. Hook this target to ...
652 (clean-am): ... this and ...
653 (?CYGNUS?clean-info): ... this.
654 (maintainer-clean-aminfo): Remove %MAINTCLEAN% if nonempty,
656 (mostlyclean-aminfo): Remove %MOSTLYCLEAN%.
657 * automake.in (handle_texinfo_helper): Return three arrays
658 $MOSTLYCLEAN, $TEXICLEAN, $MAINTCLEAN, instead of one array.
659 Only put LaTeX helper files in $MOSTLYCLEAN, the rest in
661 (handle_texinfo): Accept these, chop off extra newline, and
662 substitute them in `texinfos.am'.
664 * tests/txinfo33.test: New test.
665 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
666 Report by Bruno Haible.

670 testsuite: unset TESTS, TEST_LOGS, to avoid interference.
671 * tests/defs.in: Unset TESTS, TEST_LOGS.
673 testsuite: generate $(parallel_tests) just when needed.
674 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): No need to list
675 $(parallel_tests) here, they can be generated as needed during
676 the test run, following our recommendation in the manual.
678 Remove superfluous line from recheck recheck-html.
679 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Remove superfluous
680 line, introduced bogusly in last commit.
682 2009-04-06 Akim Demaille <akim@lrde.epita.fr>
683 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
685 parallel-tests: redo check-html, recheck, recheck-html.
686 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-am): Remove.
687 (recheck-TESTS): Rename to ...
688 (recheck): ... this and rewrite, factored ...
689 (recheck-html): ... with this rule. Pass TEST_LOGS rather than
690 RECHECK_LOGS to `check' and `check-html', respectively, to avoid
691 running outdated tests. Invoking the public macros ensures
692 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time. Do not output errors
693 for tests that were not run yet. If the testsuite has not run
694 at all, run all tests.
695 (check-html): Run `check' target, not `check-TESTS', to ensure
696 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time.
697 (.PHONY, .MAKE, AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Adjust contents.
698 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Expose the check-html and
700 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Expose the recheck issues.
701 Bugs in previous version pointed out by Akim, who already had
702 them fixed in his original version.
704 2009-04-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
706 parallel-tests: LOG_COMPILER for tests without known extension.
707 * automake.in (handle_tests): If we don't match a known
708 extension, define `LOG_COMPILER' as `$(LOG_COMPILE)
709 $(AM_LOG_FLAGS) $(LOG_FLAGS)' and use it as %COMPILE% in check2.
710 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
711 Document it. In the examples, suggest using the AM_*LOG_FLAGS
712 flags in Makefile.am rather than the variables without `AM_'
714 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (AM_PL_LOG_FLAGS): Renamed from
715 (PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... this variable, intended for the user.
716 * tests/parallel-tests7.test: Extend test.
718 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
720 More node renaming in the manual.
721 * doc/automake.texi (Top): Adjust menu to ...
722 (API Versioning): ... this node being renamed from ...
723 (API versioning): ... this, and ...
724 (Wildcards): ... this being renamed from ...
725 (wildcards): ... this.

735 Fix testsuite failures due to nonexistent `dirlist' entries.
736 * tests/defs.in: When parsing `$aclocaldir/dirlist', only add
737 existing directories D to aclocal `-I D' flags, as aclocal
738 errors on nonexisting directories.

749 Avoid test failure due to paranoid TAR_OPTIONS envvar setting.
750 * tests/txinfo18.test: Don't let a TAR_OPTIONS=--keep-old-files
751 environment variable setting cause test failure. Fixed in
754 Use more common spelling in diagnostic: s/canonic/canonical/.

768 Reorganize nodes in the manual.
769 Avoid texinfo sectioning commands without nodes, by either
770 introducing new nodes along with menus, or using headings
771 commands. Adjust all references.
772 * doc/automake.texi: Throughout the manual, adjust references to
773 new or changed node names. Rename `non-configured' to

855 parallel-tests: redo lazy checking: recheck and RECHECK_LOGS.
856 Replace the LAZY_TEST_SUITE API with a simpler yet more powerful
857 one: RECHECK_LOGS specifies those tests which are to be removed
858 in any case before testing. Provide a `recheck' convenience
859 target to set RECHECK_LOGS to all failed and unexpectedly passed
860 tests. Document several ways to limit the set of tests run.
861 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (RECHECK_LOGS): New variable,
862 default to $(TESTS_LOGS).
863 (check-TESTS): Remove $(RECHECK_LOGS) not $(TEST_LOGS). Drop use
865 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Do not output note about lazy rerun, as
866 LAZY_TEST_SUITE is gone.
867 (recheck): New target.
868 (recheck-am, recheck-TESTS): New internal targets.
869 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Update @vindex for TESTS and
870 TEST_LOGS. Replace description of LAZY_TEST_SUITE with a list
871 of ways the set of tests to be run can be modified. Document
872 RECHECK_LOGS and the recheck target.
873 * tests/defs.in: Unset RECHECK_LOGS not LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
874 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Adjust, replacing LAZY_TEST_SUITE
875 with corresponding RECHECK_LOGS settings.
876 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: New tests.
877 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
878 Suggestion and different implementation by Akim Demaille.
880 parallel-tests: do not mark check-TESTS as `.MAKE'.
881 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Remove check-TESTS.
882 This rule removes files, which should not be executed with BSD
885 parallel-tests: warn about $(srcdir), $(top_srcdir) in TESTS.
886 * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn about portability issue
887 concerning generated TESTS files listed with a `$(srcdir)/'
888 or `$(top_srcdir)/' prefix.
889 * doc/automake.texi (TESTS): Document this issue. Mention that
890 the parallel-tests driver is still experimental.
891 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: New test.
892 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
894 check-html: Always create HTML output, note conversion failure.
895 * lib/am/check.am (check-html): Create `$(TEST_SUITE_HTML)' in
896 any case. Exit unsuccessfully if HTML creation failed.
897 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Amend test to expose this.
899 2009-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
901 parallel-tests: per-extension test driver: <EXT>_LOG_COMPILER.
902 For test files with extension <ext>, introduce the internal
903 variable <EXT>_LOG_COMPILE, which expands to
904 $(<EXT>_LOG_COMPILER) $(AM_<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS) $(<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS).
905 Turn also the lib/Automake/tests testsuite over to the new
907 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document `EXT_LOG_COMPILER' and
909 * lib/am/check2.am: Insert `%COMPILE%' right before test.
910 * automake.in (handle_tests): Substitute `COMPILE' for check2,
911 empty for tests without extension, and `$(ext_LOG_COMPILE)' for
912 extension `ext'. In the latter case, define it from the public

929 Suggested by Jim Meyering.
931 Minor optimization in parallel-tests text box creation.

972 (Mixing Fortran 77 With C and C++): Drop unneeded @page breaks.
974 Sane (un)install for empty directory variables.

1025 For PR automake/533:
1026 DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
1027 When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
1028 (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
1029 thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
1030 distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
1031 need to be made writable recursively. Since file modes should
1032 not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'.
1033 * lib/am/distdir.am: Handle this situation.
1034 * tests/distdir.test: Extend test to those cases.
1036 Report by Peter Breitenlohner.
1038 2009-03-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1040 Fix a documentation typo.
1041 * doc/automake.texi (Headers): Clarify the note telling when it's
1042 better not to use noinst_HEADERS.
1044 2009-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1046 Define AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS, for gnulib's GNUmakefile.
1047 This new macro lists all public targets which invoke `make'
1048 recursively, or depend on targets which do so. It allows to
1049 prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
1050 passed on the `make' command line.
1051 * lib/am/distdir.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): New
1053 * lib/am/subdirs.am (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Likewise.
1054 * lib/am/tags.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS):
1057 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1059 Fix LAZY_TEST_SUITE handling and $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) recreation.
1060 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Expand `$(TEST_LOGS)' only once
1061 in the rule command, for systems with low command line limits.
1062 Remove $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) even in LAZY_TEST_SUITE mode.
1063 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Always recreate $(TEST_SUITE_LOG). Mention
1064 lazy mode in the summary output.
1065 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Test LAZY_TEST_SUITE semantics.
1067 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1069 Fix parallel-tests with empty $(TESTS) for BSD make.
1070 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Ignore
1071 empty line stemming from empty $(TEST_LOGS), to avoid counting
1073 (check-TESTS): If `$(TESTS)' is empty, override TEST_LOGS to be
1074 empty, rather than `.log', for BSD make.
1075 * tests/parallel-tests6.test: New test.
1076 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1078 Mark check-html and check-TESTS as recursive for BSD make.
1079 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Add check-TESTS
1080 and check-html prerequisites.
1082 Match XFAIL_TESTS correctly with Solaris make.
1083 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS]: VPATH rewriting may have
1084 changed test names, so srcdir needs to be taken into account
1085 explicitly when checking against the list of tests expected
1086 to fail. Fixes spurious FAILures from XFAIL_TESTS.
1088 Use append mode to capture parallel test output.
1089 * tests/lisp8.test: Use append mode for output from `make -j',
1090 to avoid dropped lines.
1091 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
1093 parallel-tests: Fix summary output.
1094 * lib/am/check.am (am__text_box): Fix unportable sed script,
1095 replacing `\n' in the right hand side of an `s' command with
1096 a literal newline. Kudos to Bruno Haible for the newline idea.
1097 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Update test to expose this.
1099 2009-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1101 Overhaul of tests/README.
1102 * tests/README: General overhaul. Mention parallel test suite
1103 execution, the test-suite.log file; document `Exit' vs. `exit',
1104 `defs' vs. `defs-p', the naming of `parallel-tests' tests.
1105 * README: Simplify, point to tests/README.
1107 Documentation for the parallel-tests driver.
1108 * doc/automake.texi (Tests, Options): Document the `parallel-tests'
1109 option, including new features of the test driver.
1112 New tests for `parallel-tests'.
1113 * tests/parallel-tests.test: New file, to expose a bunch of
1114 features of `parallel-tests': VERBOSE, clean, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
1115 test dependencies, DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS.
1116 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: New file, test check-html.
1117 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: New file, test concurrency.

1121 * tests/defs.in: Add a `required' check for rst2html.
1122 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1124 parallel-tests: Ensure backward-compatible semantics.
1125 For each test in Automake's test suite that uses TESTS, generate
1126 an identical one that uses the `parallel-tests' option, for
1127 coverage of backward-compatible functionality.
1128 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: New file, generates distributed
1129 Makefile.am snippet tests/parallel-tests.am to list all tests
1130 that use the TESTS interface but not yet the `parallel-tests'
1131 option, with names mangled to use suffix `-p.test', in ...
1132 (parallel_tests): ... this new make macro.
1133 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/parallel-tests.am)
1134 ($(parallel_tests), defs-p): New rules.
1135 (TESTS): Add check11.test and $(parallel_tests).
1136 (check_SCRIPTS): Add defs-p, $(parallel_tests).
1137 (check-clean-local): Remove `defs-p'.
1138 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute gen-parallel-tests.
1139 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): New variable, remove $(parallel_tests).
1140 * bootstrap: Generate parallel-tests.am.
1141 * tests/check8.test: Check for circular dependencies in rules.
1142 * tests/check11.test: New test, check that SKIPs are not counted
1144 * tests/defs.in: Unset DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS, LAZY_TEST_SUITE,
1145 VERBOSE, so the tests are not influenced by the way our test

1153 Parallel test execution: new option `parallel-tests'.
1154 * automake.in (handle_tests): Set new conditional PARALLEL_TESTS
1155 when reading check.am. Handle option `parallel-tests' and all
1156 its new semantics. Define macros TEST_SUFFIXES, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
1157 TEST_SUITE_HTML, TEST_LOGS, TEST_LOGS_TMP, suffix rules if
1158 applicable, and per-target rules for other tests. Add all log
1159 files to %clean_files at the `MOSTLY_CLEAN' level.
1160 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
1162 * lib/am/check.am [!PARALLEL_TESTS] (check-TESTS): Move existing
1163 testsuite driver under this new conditional.

1175 2009-03-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1177 Rename `silent' mode to `silent-rules' mode.
1178 * automake.in (define_verbose_var, verbose_flag)
1179 (define_verbose_tagvar, handle_options, handle_languages)
1180 (handle_configure, parse_arguments): Rename the `silent' option
1181 to `silent-rules', so it coincides with the `--silent-rules'
1182 command line option; adjust all code and comments.
1183 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Likewise.
1184 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake, Libtool Flags, Options):
1187 * tests/dollarvar.test, tests/silent.test, tests/silent2.test,
1188 tests/silent3.test, tests/silent4.test, tests/silent5.test,
1189 tests/silent6.test, tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1190 Suggestion by Jan Engelhardt.
1192 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1194 `silent' mode unconditionally overrides portability-recursive.
1195 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Don't handle a global `silent'
1196 option here; instead, ...
1197 (handle_options): ... handle the "normal" `silent' option here.
1198 Override `portability-recursive' here, at the last point we deal
1199 with options, instead ...
1200 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): ... of here.
1201 * tests/silent6.test: Replace unportable make snippet, remove
1202 FIXME note, add more test cases of options passed in the various
1205 Drop extra line from compile rules when `silent' is not used.
1206 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Only use the `%VERBOSE%
1207 @AM_BACKSLASH@' extra line if ?VERBOSE?.
1208 Report by Ralf Corsepius.
1210 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1212 Keep `--silent-rules' across triggered automake reruns.
1213 * automake.in (usage): Reformat to be a bit clearer.
1214 (handle_configure): Remove substitutions %STRICTNESS% and
1215 %USE-DEPS% in favor of a new substitution %AUTOMAKE-OPTIONS%
1216 that carries over all needed flags.
1217 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%): Adjust rule.
1218 * tests/flavor.test: New test, to ensure --$flavor (gnu,
1219 gnits, foreign, cygnus), --ignore-deps, and --silent-rules are
1220 preserved across automake reruns.
1221 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1223 2009-03-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1225 Provide variables for silencing of user rules.

1228 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Document these flags.
1229 * tests/silent7.test: New test.
1230 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1232 Redo variable naming for `silent' machinery.
1233 The public variables are named `AM_V_' plus the compiler
1234 short-hand now, e.g.: AM_V_CC, AM_V_CXXLD, AM_V_GEN. The
1235 dispatch variables are internal details and begin with
1237 * automake.in (verbose_var): Update comment.
1238 (verbose_private_var): New function. Order functions so that
1239 ones not needed outside this section are listed first.
1240 (verbose_dispatch): Remove, no need to factor this.
1241 (define_verbose_var, define_verbose_libtool): Use
1242 verbose_private_var.
1243 (define_verbose_tagvar): Likewise; and simplify.

1248 `portability-recursive' channel as well if changing the
1249 `portability' channel.
1250 * tests/dollarvar2.test: New test.
1251 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1253 2009-03-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1255 New automake command line option `--silent-rules'.
1256 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Accept `--silent-rules; let it
1257 override command line warning settings.
1258 (usage): Document it.
1259 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake): Document it.
1261 * tests/dollarvar.test: Also test `--silent-rules'.
1262 * tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Use `$MAKE V=1' to enable verbose
1263 output, which is matched later in the test.

1291 (handle_ltlibraries, handle_configure)
1292 (define_compiler_variable, define_linker_variable)
1293 (define_per_target_linker_variable): Use them where appropriate
1294 to define variables to implement the silent output machinery.
1295 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
1296 `silent', turning off `portability-recursive'.
1297 * lib/am/depend2.am: Add %VERBOSE% and %SILENT% prefixes where
1299 * lib/am/lex.am: Likewise.
1300 * lib/am/library.am: Likewise.
1301 * lib/am/ltlibrary.am: Likewise.

1325 2009-03-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1327 Ignore warnings from autom4te about Libtool macros.
1328 * tests/ltinstloc.test: When testing for presence of warnings,
1329 filter out any that are not interesting for this test, e.g.,
1330 warnings about installed files or about bogusly named cache
1331 variables in libtool.m4, emitted by recent Autoconf when older
1334 2009-03-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1336 Relax depcomp test for MSVC to not require minuso.
1337 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): When checking the msvisualcpp
1338 and msvcmsys depmodes, do not require `-c -o' to work just yet.
1339 It is not needed by the depcomp script for these depmodes, and
1340 works around the ordering issue between the tests.
1341 Report by Peter Rosin.

1358 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1360 Improve `make -n dist' and `make -n distcheck' for GNU make.
1361 Ensure that `make -n dist' and `make -n distcheck' do not change
1362 files, due to GNU make executing rules containing `$(MAKE)'.
1363 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Separate the creation of
1364 `$(distdir)/$$subdir' for `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' and the recursion
1365 into the `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' in two separate rule commands.
1366 (distcheck): Exit recursive rule early when run with `make -n',
1367 as detected by a witness file.
1368 * tests/maken.test, tests/maken2.test: New tests.
1369 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1372 2009-03-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1374 Solaris make testsuite fixes.
1375 * tests/check10.test: When a rule fails, Solaris make will
1376 output the complete command that failed; in this case the test
1377 suite driver. Adjust the test to not bogusly match lines from
1378 the driver, rather than its output.
1379 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Avoid triggering VPATH rewriting,
1380 not desirable in this test.
1381 * tests/specflg10.test: Use BUILT_SOURCES to specify an
1382 intermediate target, so Solaris make knows what to do.
1384 testsuite: SKIP compile tests if configure found no compiler.
1385 * tests/depend6.test: configure will exit 77 if AC_PROG_CC found
1386 no working compiler. Allow the test to be SKIPped in that case.
1387 * tests/postproc.test: Likewise.
1388 * tests/pr243.test: Likewise.
1389 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise.
1391 Fix maintainer-check fallout.

1414 2009-03-04 William Pursell <bill.pursell@gmail.com>
1416 Replace bare `automake' with `@command{automake}' or `Automake'.
1417 * doc/automake.texi: Avoid bare `automake' in the manual,
1418 replacing occurrences with `@command{automake}' when the command
1419 is meant, and `Automake' when speaking about the software
1422 2009-03-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1424 * lib/depcomp: Various portability and quoting nits.

1446 Add debugging features.
1447 * lib/gnupload: New options --delete, --symlink, --rmsymlink,
1448 --symlink-regex, --dry-run; support `--' to separate options and
1449 commands from files. New target download.gnu.org.ua. Expand
1450 `.gnupload' file contents before command line arguments.
1452 (dprint, mkdirective, mksymlink, upload): New functions.
1455 2009-03-03 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1457 Add depmode=msvcmsys for Microsoft Visual C++ on MSYS.
1458 * lib/depcomp [msvisualcpp]: Fork fewer processes. Filter out
1459 libtool in the preprocessor invocation (as is done in
1460 depmode=cpp). Silence compiler stderr.
1461 [msvcmsys]: New depmode as a derivative of depmode=msvisualcpp.
1462 msvcmsys transforms any backslashes into forward slashes to
1463 make the grep in depend.m4 match, instead of the "cygpath -u"
1464 that is used in msvisualcpp.

1539 Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
1540 Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
1541 containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play
1542 well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
1543 as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
1544 generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
1545 This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
1546 but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
1547 * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
1548 page due to missing help2man.
1549 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true

1871 to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.

1891 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
1892 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
1893 of independent makefiles.

1922 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
1923 using set_dir_cache_file.
1925 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
1926 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
1927 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent

2027 Require texi2dvi in tests, makeinfo may not be enough.
2028 * tests/txinfo16.test: RHEL 5.2 has makeinfo and texi2dvi in
2029 separate packages, so also list the latter as required, as the
2030 test generates DVI and/or PDF output (through distcheck).

2089 2008-09-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2091 Remove unneeded per-rule *INSTALL variables.
2093 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): Remove.
2094 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Adjust.
2095 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Remove.
2096 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Adjust.
2097 * lib/am/ltlibs.am (%DIR%LTLIBRARIES_INSTALL): Remove.

2106 Compactify program rules using ternary operators.
2107 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Uglify^WCompactify
2108 using ternary operators `%KEY?TRUE:FALSE%'.
2109 (uninstall-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Likewise.
2111 New doc section about command line length limits.
2112 * doc/automake.texi (Length limitations): New node.
2113 (Alternative): `nobase_' is not always equivalent to several
2115 (Install): Mention multi-file install.
2116 * NEWS: Expand on the issue, list some more user-visible
2119 Install nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES before bin_PROGRAMS.
2120 * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
2121 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
2122 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.
2123 * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.
2125 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
2126 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
2127 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
2128 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
2129 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
2130 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
2131 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
2132 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
2133 passed to libtool in one invocation.
2134 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not
2135 reorder libraries upon installation. Remove spurious empty
2137 * tests/ltorder.test: New test.
2138 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2140 Fix -rpath arguments for nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES.
2141 * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): New hash %instsubdirs to
2142 track the dirname of nobase ltlibraries, and tack it onto the
2143 end of the -rpath argument. Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
2144 installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.
2145 * tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Expose this bug here.
2146 * tests/ltinstloc.test: New test.
2147 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2150 Man pages for automake and aclocal.
2151 * configure.ac (HELP2MAN): New substitution.
2152 * doc/Makefile.am (dist_man1_MANS, MAINTAINERCLEANFILES)
2153 (update_mans): New macros.
2154 ($(srcdir)/aclocal-$(APIVERSION).1)
2155 ($(srcdir)/automake-$(APIVERSION).1): New rules, generate
2156 man pages from the command line help with help2man.
2157 ($(srcdir)/aclocal.1, $(srcdir)/automake.1): New rules, for
2158 `.so' man page links to the versioned pages.
2161 2008-09-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2163 Faster install for libtool outputs.
2164 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Invoke `libtool
2165 --mode=install' with multiple libraries at once.
2166 (%DIR%LTLIBRARIES_INSTALL): No need to use install_sh any more.

2168 of the libtool special-casing by invoking it for multiple

2173 Fast install and uninstall for SCRIPTS.

2177 using awk and a number of sed scripts.
2178 (uninstall-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Compute the installed names, and
2179 remove them, all at once.
2180 (%DIR%SCRIPT_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
2183 Multi-file install for PROGRAMS.
2184 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Allow to install
2185 several programs with one install invocation, when not using
2186 libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
2187 create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a
2188 constant number of times in the fast path; uses awk and sed also
2189 in the default path.
2190 (%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
2193 Enhance cleaning of programs in libtool mode.
2194 * lib/am/progs.am (clean-%DIR%PROGRAMS) [?LIBTOOL?]: Fork less
2195 often, avoid removing programs twice if $(EXEEXT) is empty.
2196 * tests/nobase-libtool.test: Also test PROGRAMS, in order to
2197 exercise the code path.

2207 and install up to 40 of those that do not have to be renamed
2208 at once. Fail if installation of any file fails.
2209 (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Rewrite to use fewer sed invocations.
2210 * doc/automake.texi (Man pages): Hint the user to the fast path.
2212 * tests/instmany-mans.test: New test.
2213 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

2217 Faster `make uninstall'; fast install for JAVA.

2244 return its exit failure, not 1.
2245 * tests/instfail.test: New test, for PROGRAMS (without libtool),
2246 LIBRARIES, including nobase variants.

2264 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2266 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
2267 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
2268 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
2269 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
2270 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
2271 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
2272 lower the limit to 40, too.
2273 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
2274 (am__base_list): New macro.
2275 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
2276 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)

2279 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2281 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
2282 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
2283 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
2284 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
2285 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
2286 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
2287 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
2288 * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function. Use it throughout,
2289 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.

2500 2008-09-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2502 Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
2503 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
2504 from output for comparison.
2506 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
2507 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
2508 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
2509 relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted
2511 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fix current check for
2512 $(am__cd) within backquotes a bit. Add new check for `cd' to a

2523 Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
2524 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
2525 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
2526 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
2527 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.
2529 2008-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2531 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).
2532 * m4/maintainer.m4 (AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Allow for an optional
2533 first argument of `enable' or `disable', setting the default.
2534 * doc/automake.texi (Optional, maintainer-mode): Document.

2551 2008-08-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2553 Fix rebuilding of removed subdir/Makefile.in files.
2554 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%) [?!TOPDIR_P?]: If
2555 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
2556 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.
2557 * tests/remake6.test, tests/remake7.test: New tests.
2558 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2559 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2560 Report and initial patch by Ilya N. Golubev.
2562 2008-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2564 * tests/notrans.test: Use multiple man files of each type.
2566 Fix maintainer-check failures.
2567 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Drop TAB.
2568 * tests/missing6.test: Use 'rm -f'.

2584 2008-06-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2586 Introduce macro $(am__mv) to facilitate 'libtool --dry-run'.
2587 * lib/am/depend.am (am__mv): New macro, set to 'mv -f'.
2588 * lib/am/depend2.am: Use throughout to move the temporary
2589 depfile *.Tpo to its final destination *.Po.
2591 2008-06-18 Rafael Espindola <espindola@google.com>
2593 * lib/config-ml.in: don't handle --enable-shared and --enable-static.
2595 2008-06-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2597 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): New variable.
2598 (am__nobase_list): Use it.
2600 Fix conditional rules competing with config.status rules.
2601 * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the
2602 conditional config.status rule.
2603 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
2605 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
2606 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
2607 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
2608 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
2609 (handle_configure) <CONFIG_CLEAN_VPATH_FILES>: New variable, for
2610 links where source and dest are equal.
2611 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Remove, if build tree not
2613 * tests/conflnk4.test: New test.
2614 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

2659 * lib/gnupload: Allow uploads from separate directory.
2661 2008-03-26 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2663 Implement conditional AC_CONFIG_FILES: AM_COND_IF.
2664 * automake.in (%ac_config_files_condition): New.
2665 (scan_autoconf_config_files): Record condition if any.
2666 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace _AM_COND_IF, _AM_COND_ELSE,
2667 _AM_COND_ENDIF, updating @cond_stack as appropriate.
2668 (handle_configure): Prefix config.status rule with condition.
2669 Check that m4 quotation is done consistently.
2670 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITION): Define `_AM_COND_VALUE_name'
2671 with `name' being the name of the condition, to its shell
2673 * m4/cond-if.m4: New file.

2675 (AM_COND_IF): New macro, implements conditionals.
2676 * m4/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2677 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Optional, Conditionals):
2678 Document AM_COND_IF.
2680 * tests/cond39.test, tests/cond40.test, tests/cond41.test,
2681 tests/cond42.test, tests/cond43.test: New tests.
2682 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2684 2008-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2686 * doc/automake.texi (@ovar): New macro, from autoconf.texi.
2688 Suggestion by Eric Blake.
2690 2008-03-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2692 * lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
2694 2008-03-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2696 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Linking, Extending):
2697 Fix underfull and overfull lines, fix wording a bit.
2699 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from
2702 * Makefile.am (WGET_SV_GIT_CF): New.
2703 (fetch): Pull config.guess and config.sub from git repo now.
2705 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
2706 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.
2707 (xsystem_hint): New function, like xsystem but allows to pass
2710 2008-03-11 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
2712 Implement the `notrans_' prefix for untransformed manpages.
2713 * automake.in (handle_man_pages), lib/am/mans.am: Implement
2714 notrans_ prefix for MANS primary and rework dependencies for
2715 install-man%SECTION%; use only vars defined in Makefile.am.
2716 * doc/automake.texi (Renaming, Uniform, Man pages):
2717 Document notrans_ prefix.
2719 * tests/notrans.test: New test.
2720 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2722 * automake.in (handle_man_pages): Reindent, for next patch.
2724 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2726 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
2727 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
2728 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
2729 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
2730 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
2731 a problem, it should be revisited.
2733 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
2734 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
2735 files keyed by their target directory.
2736 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
2737 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
2738 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
2739 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
2740 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
2741 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
2742 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
2743 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
2745 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
2746 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
2747 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
2748 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
2749 a list for byte compilation after installation.
2750 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
2751 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
2752 to install multiple files at once.
2754 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
2756 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2758 Require unreleased Autoconf for fixed AC_PROG_INSTALL.
2759 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump AC_PREREQ to 2.61-341,
2761 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
2762 failure early and provide a sensible error message.
2764 Drop usage of obsolete macros AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
2765 * tests/ansi4.test: Drop AC_OBJEXT and AC_EXEEXT.
2766 * tests/ansi6.test: Likewise.

2777 Skip instsh3.test if `touch -t' does not work.
2778 * tests/instsh3.test: Test for `touch -t', fails with Solaris
2781 Report by Younes Younes.
2783 2008-02-27 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
2785 * doc/automake.texi (wildcards): Improve "Why doesn't Automake
2786 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
2788 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2790 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
2791 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
2792 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
2793 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
2794 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
2795 setting MAKE to test gmake.
2796 Report by Patrick Welche.
2798 2008-02-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2801 * m4/options.m4 (_AM_SET_OPTIONS): Use m4_foreach_w instead of
2802 obsolete AC_FOREACH.
2803 Report by NightStrike and gurganbl@rose-hulman.edu.
2805 2008-02-17 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> (tiny change)

2809 2008-02-05 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2813 2008-02-05 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
2815 * doc/automake.texi (CVS): configure.ac will appear newer, not
2816 older, than configure. Use `lexical' instead of `alphabetical'.
2818 2008-01-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2820 * tests/man3.test: Avoid `make VAR=value'.
2822 * tests/subst3.test: New test.
2823 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2825 * tests/instsh2.test: Split off testing of `install-sh -C' ...

2827 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2829 Report by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
2831 2008-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2833 * tests/nobase.test: Extend test to generated files.
2835 * tests/nobase-python.test: New test, nobase for python files.
2836 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2838 * tests/nobase.test: Split off libtool part of nobase.test for
2839 increased test exposure, to ...

3665 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
3666 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
3667 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
3668 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
3669 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
3670 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in

3868 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
3869 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
3870 other built scripts.
3872 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
3873 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
3874 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
3875 * tests/init.test: New file.
3876 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3878 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3880 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
3881 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
3882 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
3883 `make distdir' instead.
3885 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3887 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
3888 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
3889 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
3891 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
3892 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
3893 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
3894 Report from Bas Wijnen.
3895 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
3896 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3898 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
3899 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
3900 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
3901 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
3902 if we cannot create this file.
3903 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
3904 (unlink_tmp): New function.
3905 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
3907 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3909 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
3910 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
3911 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
3912 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
3914 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
3915 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
3917 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
3919 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3921 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
3922 can install only one file at a time.
3923 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
3924 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
3925 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
3926 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
3927 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
3928 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
3929 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
3930 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
3931 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
3932 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
3933 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
3934 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
3935 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
3936 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
3937 intermediate directories; this is safer.
3938 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
3939 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
3940 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
3941 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
3942 traditional implementations.
3944 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3946 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
3948 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3950 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
3951 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
3952 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
3954 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3955 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3957 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
3958 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
3959 computed by config.status.
3960 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
3961 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
3964 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
3965 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3967 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
3968 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
3969 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
3971 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3973 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
3975 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3977 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
3979 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3980 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3982 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
3983 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
3984 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
3985 Fix some comment typos.
3987 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3989 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
3990 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
3991 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
3993 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
3996 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
3997 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
3998 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
3999 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
4000 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
4002 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
4004 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
4006 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
4007 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
4009 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
4010 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
4011 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
4014 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
4016 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
4018 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
4020 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
4021 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
4022 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
4024 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4026 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
4027 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
4028 directory component.
4029 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
4031 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
4032 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
4033 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
4035 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4037 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
4038 New upstream versions.
4040 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4042 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
4043 repository, they use SVN now.
4045 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
4047 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
4048 savannah.nongnu.org.
4050 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4052 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
4053 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
4054 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
4056 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4058 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
4059 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
4060 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
4061 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
4062 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
4063 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
4064 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
4066 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4068 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
4070 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
4071 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
4073 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
4074 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
4076 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
4077 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
4078 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
4079 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
4080 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
4082 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
4084 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
4086 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
4087 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
4088 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
4091 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
4092 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
4095 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
4096 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
4097 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
4099 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4101 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
4102 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
4104 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
4107 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
4108 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
4111 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
4112 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
4113 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
4115 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
4116 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
4117 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
4118 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
4120 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
4121 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
4122 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
4124 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
4125 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
4126 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
4129 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
4130 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
4131 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
4134 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
4135 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
4136 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
4139 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
4140 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
4141 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
4142 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
4144 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
4145 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
4146 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
4147 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
4148 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
4149 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
4152 2006-04-26 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org> (tiny change)
4154 * doc/automake.texi (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Fix typo.
4156 2006-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4158 * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname.
4160 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4162 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
4163 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
4164 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
4165 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
4167 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4169 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
4170 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
4171 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
4172 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
4173 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
4174 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
4175 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
4176 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
4178 2006-04-20 Paul Lunau <temp@lunau.me.uk> (tiny change)
4179 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4181 * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
4182 failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
4183 Report from Paul Lunau.
4184 * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.
4187 2006-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4189 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Match XFAIL_TESTS delimited by
4190 TABs as well as spaces. Fixes PR automake/490.
4191 * tests/check6.test: New test.
4192 * tests/Makefile.am, THANKS: Update.
4193 Report from Diab Jerius <djerius@cfa.harvard.edu>.
4195 2006-04-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4197 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (find_file): Fix a typo in the
4198 description; eliminate the duplicate error message.
4199 * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): `Invoking Automake' is the name
4200 of the usage node for `automake'
4201 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_gen_varname): Fix typos in the
4204 2006-04-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4206 * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Require Autoconf 2.59c,
4207 because it uses `datarootdir'. Bump copyright year and serial.
4209 2006-04-10 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4213 2006-04-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4215 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_hash_varname, _hash_values): New functions.
4216 (_gen_varname): Use _hash_values, and return a flag indicating whether
4217 the variable name was generated or reused.
4218 (transform_variable_recursively): Do not redefine variables that
4219 are reused, and try to reuse the variable being transformed.
4220 * tests/check2.test: Make sure TESTS hasn't been redefined.
4221 * tests/check5.test, tests/exeext4.test: Make sure variables have
4223 * tests/subst2.test: Make sure bin_PROGRAMS gets rewritten.

4226 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE and fill
4227 %ignored_configure_vars.
4228 (define_configure_variable): Declare ignored configure variables
4229 as VAR_SILENT. Do not special-case AMDEPBACKSLASH and ANSI2KNR

4232 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add substign.m4.
4233 * m4/cond.m4: _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE $1_TRUE and $1_FALSE (PR automake/477).
4234 * m4/depend.m4: _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE AMDEPBACKSLASH.
4235 * m4/protos.m4: _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE ANSI2KNR.

4247 Report from John Ratliff.
4249 2006-03-25 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> (tiny change)
4250 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4252 * aclocal.in ($m4_include_rx): Do not recognize `include', and
4253 adjust scan_configure_dep and scan_file accordingly.
4254 (scan_configure_dep): Do not search white lines.
4255 (scan_file): Strip comments from current line after checking
4256 for serial, so that aclocal does not trip on `m4_include' macros
4257 in comments. Report from Mike Frysinger.
4258 * tests/acloca21.test: New file.
4259 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

4310 for general `depcomp' functionality, with and without
4311 `subdir-objects', with and without `libtool'.
4312 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
4314 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Unlink `aclocal.m4' before
4315 writing into it, to break a symlinked file.
4316 * tests/acloca20.test: New test.
4317 * tests/Makefile.am: Updated.
4319 2006-03-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4321 Allow package trees (packages with subpackages) to share
4322 common distributed auxiliary files (and directories) that
4323 reside within a subpackage.
4325 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir %?TOPDIR_P%): Do not fail if
4326 `$(distdir)' already exists.
4327 (%?SUBDIRS%): Set `am__remove_distdir' to `:' to prevent
4328 removal of subpackage trees for distribution.
4329 * tests/subpkg3.test: New test.
4330 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
4332 2006-03-18 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

4343 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Make the AM_PROG_CC_C_O requirement
4344 a 'portability' warning, so that people can ignore it. Suggested

4395 * lib/install-sh (dstdir): Don't use semicolons inside { } in
4396 sed scripts, as Posix says it's not portable.

4414 * lib/am/texinfos.am (dist-info): Tighten glob to avoid unwanted

4417 2006-01-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4419 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
4420 Mention the file extensions that usually appear in _DEPENDENCIES,

4426 * automake.in ($gen_copyright, version): Likewise.
4427 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal, version): Likewise.

4435 (handle_dist, handle_configure): Use fill_dist_dirs.
4436 * tests/distdir.test: Test for cases where $(top_srcdir) or
4437 $(srcdir) appear in EXTRA_DIST. Report from Sander Niemeijer.
4439 2006-01-05 Zack Weinberg <zackw@panix.com>
4440 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4442 * lib/depcomp: Add 'ia64hp' dependency style.
4443 Zack's original patch was contributed to GCC on 2005-06-13.
4446 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4448 * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that
4449 the code is portable to both POSIX and pre-POSIX shells.
4451 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4453 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',
4454 suggested by Eric Blake.
4456 2005-10-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4458 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Typo.
4459 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (transform_variable_recursively): Typo
4462 2005-10-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4464 * ChangeLog.03, automake.in, tests/overrid.test: Typos.
4466 2005-10-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4468 * tests/nobase.test: Exercise previous patch.
4470 2005-10-03 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com> (tiny change)

4476 2005-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4478 * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
4479 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
4480 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
4481 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
4482 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
4484 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
4486 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4488 * automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.

4498 value of a conditionally defined variable.
4499 Report from Juergen Leising.
4501 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
4502 $(MAKE) invocations.
4503 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4505 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
4506 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
4507 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
4508 Report from Stepan Kasal.
4510 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
4511 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
4513 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4515 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
4516 the $(infodir) exists.
4518 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4520 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
4522 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4524 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
4525 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
4527 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
4528 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
4529 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
4530 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
4531 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
4532 for missing files that can be installed.
4533 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
4535 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4537 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
4538 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
4540 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
4541 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
4542 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
4544 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4546 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
4547 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
4548 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
4549 if the usual candidates show up.
4551 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4553 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
4555 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

4560 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4562 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
4563 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
4565 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4567 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
4568 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
4570 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
4572 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
4573 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
4576 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4578 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
4579 fix an underful hbox.
4580 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
4581 New upstream versions.
4583 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4585 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
4587 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4589 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
4590 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
4591 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
4592 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
4593 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
4595 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
4597 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
4598 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
4599 Report from Harald Dunkel.
4601 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
4603 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
4604 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
4605 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
4606 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
4608 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4610 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
4611 `mkdir -p' does not work.
4612 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
4613 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
4614 Report from Noah Friedman.
4616 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
4617 Report from Karl Berry.
4619 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4620 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4622 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
4623 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
4624 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
4626 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4628 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
4629 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
4630 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
4631 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
4632 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
4633 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
4634 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
4635 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
4636 Report from Ed Hartnett.
4638 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4640 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
4642 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
4643 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
4644 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
4645 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
4646 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
4648 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4650 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4651 Fix redirections in previous patch.
4653 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

4656 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
4657 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
4658 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
4659 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
4660 Report from Bob Proulx.
4662 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
4664 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
4666 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
4668 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4670 Fix PR automake/461:
4671 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
4672 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
4673 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
4674 Report from Tom Tromey.
