3 Update release statistics, improve release-stats rule.
4 * Makefile.am (release-stats): Output stderr of pstops in
5 addition to catching it, for better debugging.
6 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.10.2.
8 Cope with parallel BSD make -jN semantics.
9 When BSD `make -jN' is used without `-B' which enables backwards
10 compatible semantics, it may reuse the same shell for several
11 commands within a rule; so ensure we do not leave it in a
12 different directory, nor `exit 0' early in a multi-command rule.
13 * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): After running `distcleancheck',
14 change back to original working directory.
15 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_HIN%): Run autoheader in a
17 * lib/am/mans.am (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Do not `exit 0' early
18 in a rule that consists of several shell invocations. Parallel
19 NetBSD `make -jN' without `-B' will use only one shell for all
20 commands, but won't respawn one after `exit 0'. Fixes
22 * tests/makej2.test: New test.
23 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
26 * lib/am/install.am: Fix typo.

29 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
31 Let AM_PATH_PYTHON honor python's idea about the site directory.
32 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): When computing pythondir and
33 pyexecdir, pass the expanded prefix resp. exec_prefix as `prefix'
34 to get_python_lib, so python can determine the name of the site
35 directory depending on the install location. Afterwards, replace
36 the directory names with the unexpanded values of $PYTHON_PREFIX
37 resp. $PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX again, to allow override according to
38 the documentation. Fixes site directory computation for Debian
39 and Ubuntu (`dist-packages' for a prefix of `/usr' or `/usr/local',
40 `site-packages' elsewhere).
41 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
43 2009-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
45 Vala: for now, require GNU make.
46 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): GNU make is currently
47 required for Vala sources.
48 * tests/vala2.test, tests/vala3.test, tests/vala5.test: Require
51 2009-05-17 Jürg Billeter <j@bitron.ch>
53 Vala: Use $(srcdir) in rebuild rules.
54 valac is always run in srcdir as the generated files are distributed.
55 So srcdir needs to be taken into account in the rebuild rules to not
56 wrongly trigger a rebuild in the wrong directory.
57 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Rebuild files in
59 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules from VPATH build.
61 Vala: Add and test rebuild rules for generated header and vapi files.
62 valac will generate additional files when using, for example, -H in
63 VALAFLAGS. We need to recognize these options and add appropriate
64 rebuild rules to fix parallel build.
65 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Recognize -H, -h,
66 --header, --internal-header, --vapi, --internal-api, --gir flags
67 to valac and rebuild rules for generated headers; distribute
68 and maintainer-clean them.
69 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules.
71 2009-05-17 Jürg Billeter <j@bitron.ch>
72 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
74 Vala: Fix build when using per-target VALAFLAGS.
75 This does not yet implement full per-target support for VALAFLAGS,
76 however, this change at least fixes building when there is only one
77 target per source file, which is the most common situation.
78 * automake.in: Remove `VALAFLAGS' from `flags' in language struct.
79 (lang_vala_finish_target): Handle `*_VALAFLAGS rewriting' manually
80 here; check `VALAFLAGS' user variables.
81 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove vala5.test.
82 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Document per-target flag
85 2009-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
88 Document some formatting restrictions for Makefile.am files.
89 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation, Usage of Conditionals):
90 Variable assignments should not be indented by TABs, rule commands
91 should. Conditional keyword statements should not be indented.
95 2009-05-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
97 Fix copyright years in *.am files.
98 * lib/am/check.am, lib/am/check2.am, lib/am/distdir.am,
99 lib/am/program.am, lib/am/tags.am: Fix copyright years.
101 distdir: avoid duplicate `find' traversal with subpackages.
102 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir) [%?SUBDIRS%]: When recursing, set
104 [%?TOPDIR_P%]: When `$(am__skip_mode_fix)' is set, avoid tree
106 * tests/subpkg4.test: New test, to ensure that we still walk the
107 whole tree while fixing permissions. We don't ensure it is
109 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
111 Disable test cleanup trap with OSF1/Tru64 sh.
112 * configure.ac: Test whether /bin/sh has working 'set -e'
113 in conjunction with an exit trap. Set $am_cv_sh_errexit_works
114 accordingly, substitute sh_errexit_works, and warn about
115 leftover test directories with broken shells like Tru64 /bin/sh.
116 * tests/defs.in: Do not install any traps with broken shells.
118 2009-05-02 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
119 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
121 Recommend *-local hooks without commands, for extensibility.
122 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Show how to write the clean-local
123 extension with separate phony target.
124 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Practice what we preach
125 by marking this phony. For consistency, rename from ...
126 (check-clean-local): ... this.
128 2009-04-28 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
130 scripts: normalize all timestamps to UTC

144 silent-rules: fix alignment of less verbose output.
145 * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define `$silent_var' as
146 VAR_ASIS, not VAR_PRETTY, to avoid squashing of multiple
148 * tests/silent.test: Amend test.
149 Report by Jan Engelhardt.

157 Report by Eric Blake.
159 Indent rule commands consistently with a TAB.
160 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Consistently use TAB, not
161 spaces, for indentation of commands, even if indentation may not
163 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-info-am): Likewise.
165 Prompted by report from John Calcote.
167 parallel-tests: fix recheck* targets for non-GNU make.
168 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Override AM_MAKEFLAGS
169 to portably transport the TEST_LOGS settings through the
170 recursive `make' invocations. Fixes parallel-tests9.test
171 failure with Solaris make.
172 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Also ensure that the test
173 summary is correct for `recheck'.
174 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
176 2009-04-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
178 Avoid racy depmodes with universal builds.
179 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): If universal builds are used,
181 * lib/depcomp: Ignore `-arch' argument for makedepend depmode.
182 Report by Bruno Haible, analysis by Bruno Haible, Peter O'Gorman,
185 2009-04-21 Fabian Alenius <fabian.alenius@gmail.com> (tiny change)
187 Fix link to autotools tutorial.
188 * doc/automake.texi (Autotools Introduction): Fix broken link.
191 2009-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
193 testsuite: minor w32 fixes.
194 * tests/depend5.test: Don't fail if the system or file system
195 cannot handle weird characters, instead just try a few.
196 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Really wait until the serial test
197 has finished, before letting the cleanup trap do its work.
198 Report by Bruno Haible.
200 Avoid nonportable `./FILE' instead of `FILE' in test.
201 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not use `$(top_builddir)/sub/libname.la'
202 in *_LDADD entry if `$(top_builddir)' is `.'. Fixes test failure
203 with parallel NetBSD make.
205 Detect make `include' style also with parallel non-GNU make.
206 Parallel NetBSD make outputs `--- $target ---' messages,
207 parallel HP-UX make outputs `Making target"$target"'. Just
208 ignore all additional output for the include test.
209 * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Ignore additional output
210 produced by `make' to relax `include' style detection.
212 manual: add FAQ `Debugging Make Rules'.
213 * doc/automake.texi (Debugging Make Rules): New FAQ section.
214 (Top, FAQ): Adjust menus, and capitalization of the description
215 of the `Hard-Coded Install Paths' node.
216 (Multiple Outputs): Add comment to restore font-lock for vim.
217 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
219 Let XFile::lock warn and fail with parallel non-GNU make, too.
220 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Also match `-j' for parallel BSD
221 make, and `-P' for parallel HP-UX make.
223 Fix AM_PROG_VALAC version requirement detection.
224 * m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Remove `Vala ' from valac
225 --version string before comparing versions.
226 * tests/vala2.test: Require version 0.7.0 for the test.
227 Fixes failures of vala2.test and vala3.test with older valac.
229 Correctly treat all assignments with bogus trailing comments.
230 Before this patch, automake would silently fail to diagnose and
231 to copy into the output those variable assignments which are
232 preceded by a comment, and end in backslash newline comment.
233 * automake.in (read_am_file): When determining whether an
234 escaped newline followed by a comment is an error, correctly use
235 the parser state, not the contents of a saved comment, which
236 could still be carried over from a comment before an assignment.
238 * tests/commen11.test: New test.
239 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
240 Report by Karl Berry.
242 2009-04-14 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
244 manual: improve markup: itemize list in `Extending'.
245 * doc/automake.texi (Extending): Use `@item's for user override
248 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
250 bin_PROGRAMS = $(EXTRA_PROGRAMS) should work.
251 * automake.in (am_install_var): For `PROGRAMS' primary, strip
252 `$(EXEEXT)' here already, so the name uniquifying works even
253 when we look at names repeatedly, with inconsistent executable
254 extension; through variable references, we might have added
255 the extension ourselves earlier.
256 (handle_programs): No need to strip `$(EXEEXT)' here any more.
257 * tests/extra8.test: New test.
258 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

289 * tests/vala3.test: Likewise, also test with subdir-objects.
290 * tests/vala4.test: Bump copyright years.
291 * tests/vala5.test: New test for per-target flags, expected to fail.
292 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
295 2008-10-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
297 Minor fixups for Vala support.

300 document AM_VALAFLAGS, streamline a bit.
301 * lib/am/vala.am: Copyright blurb.

311 2008-10-09 Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>
313 * automake.in: Support Vala in non-recursive builds. Make sure
314 foo_VALAFLAGS really use used. Inject --library switch when building
316 * doc/automake.texi, NEWS: Document Vala support.
317 * m4/vala.m4: Rename AC_PROG_VALAC to AM_PROG_VALAC.
318 * tests/Makefile.am: Additional Vala tests.
319 * tests/vala.test: Also test VALAFLAGS support.
320 * tests/vala1.test: Test non-recursive Vala support.
321 * tests/vala2.test: Test _PKGNAME variables.
322 * tests/vala3.test: Test compiling of C code generated by Vala.
324 2008-10-09 Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>
326 Initial support for the vala programming language.
327 * automake.in: Add %known_libraries, lang_vala_rewrite,
328 lang_vala_finish and lang_vala_target_hook to support the Vala
329 programming language. Register Vala language hooks.
330 * lib/am/vala.am: Empty rules file to prevent creation of depend2
331 based rules for Vala code.
332 * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Add vala.am.
333 * m4/vala.m4: Provide AC_PROG_VALAC for detecting the Vala compiler.
334 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add vala.m4.
335 * tests/vala.test: Test Vala support.
336 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
338 2009-04-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
340 testsuite: do not fail on systems without read permissions.
341 * tests/instfail-info.test: Do not use the `non-root'
342 requirement for testing whether files may be made unreadable;
343 instead use `test -r' and skip the test if that still works.
344 * tests/instfail-java.test: Likewise.

350 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Likewise.
352 testsuite: parallel make fixes.
353 This patch fixes a couple of testsuite bugs exposed with
354 `MAKE=make\ -jN make check'.
355 * tests/libtoo10.test: Do not run `clean' in same $MAKE
356 invocation as `all check'. Fixes test failure with parallel
358 * tests/nobase.test: Be sure to create a directory before
359 creating files in it. Fixes test failure with MAKE=`make -jN'
360 for NetBSD make. This issue is hidden with parallel GNU make
361 due to its parallel breadth first update order.
362 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Skip if $MAKE contains `-j',
363 GNU make will use the environment variable $MAKE for recursion
364 and thus run in parallel even if `$MAKE -j1' was used on the
365 command line in the test. Also, after running the test proper,
366 wait long enough so that background jobs have finished and there
367 are no open files left when the cleanup code runs.
369 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
371 silent-rules reorganization, --enable-silent-rules switch.
372 This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default
373 verbosity. Since configure now needs to know whether the
374 `silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be
375 set within AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, or with a new AM_SILENT_RULES macro
376 but not any more through AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or the automake
377 command line option `--silent-rules'.
378 * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define the default verbose
379 variable in terms of `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'.
380 (handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.
381 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'. If seen,
382 enable global `silent-rules' option.
383 (usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'.
384 (parse_arguments): Do not accept `--silent-rules'.
385 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Overhaul. Document
386 AM_SILENT_RULES, --enable-silent-rules, --disable-silent-rules,
387 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY. Show an example for user-added variables
388 for less verbose output.
389 (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'.
390 (Public Macros): Document `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
392 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
393 `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac.
394 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If the `silent-rules' option
395 was enabled, require `AM_SILENT_RULES'; move AM_BACKSLASH
396 initialization to ...
397 * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): ... this new file, new macro.
398 Deal with `--enable-silent-rules' switch; define
399 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.
400 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add silent.m4.
401 * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use
403 * tests/flavor.test: Remove test for `--silent-rules'.
404 * tests/silent.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
405 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; use `--enable-silent-rules'.
406 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
407 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
408 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
409 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
410 * tests/silent6.test: Likewise. Test `AM_SILENT_RULES' as well
411 as `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([silent-rules])' instead of
413 * tests/silent7.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
414 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; ensure the latter is rejected.
415 Test combinations of --enable-silent-rules and
416 --disable-silent-rules with `make V=0' and `make V=1'.
417 Suggestion for configure-time switch by Bob Friesenhahn.
419 manual: Add note about parallelism and tests ordering.
420 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
421 Dependencies between test logs work for tests with known
422 extensions only. Hint that tests should be prepared to be run
425 Fix maintainer-check failure.
426 * tests/suffix13.test: Use Exit not exit.
428 2009-04-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
430 parallel-tests: more testsuite exposure.
431 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Also test overriding TEST_LOGS and
434 parallel-tests: let VERBOSE=yes output appear before summary.
435 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): In `VERBOSE=yes' mode,
436 output contents of `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' before, rather than after
437 the test suite summary. This ensures that the email address
438 appears near the end of the output; also, the log file already
439 starts with a result summary anyway.
441 parallel-tests: `clean recheck' should not rerun all tests.
442 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-html): Do not rerun all
443 tests if `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' does not exist.
444 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Adjust recheck test.
445 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Adjust recheck-html test.

452 parallel-tests: Fix driver for nonempty executable extension.
453 * automake.in (handle_tests): New substitution `%am__EXEEXT%',
454 defined as 'FALSE' for non-generic rules, or if no programs are
455 built at all. Otherwise, define it as configure conditional.
456 * lib/am/check2.am [%am__EXEEXT%] (%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): New
457 conditional generic rule.
458 * m4/init.m4: Hook an m4_provide of `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' onto
459 Autoconf's `_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT' macro.
460 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' has been provided
461 at `AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE' time, then introduce a conditional
462 `am__EXEEXT', defined to true iff `$EXEEXT' is nonempty.
463 * tests/check5.test: Only match `_EXEEXT_[1-9]' here, to avoid
464 false positives stemming from `@am__EXEEXT_TRUE@'.
467 2009-04-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
469 Fix a couple of $(EXEEXT)-related testsuite failure.

491 Do not remove texinfo outputs upon mostlyclean.
492 * lib/am/texinfos.am: New substitutions %MOSTLYCLEAN%,
494 (clean-aminfo): New target, remove %TEXICLEAN% if nonemtpy,
495 declare phony. Hook this target to ...
496 (clean-am): ... this and ...
497 (?CYGNUS?clean-info): ... this.
498 (maintainer-clean-aminfo): Remove %MAINTCLEAN% if nonempty,
500 (mostlyclean-aminfo): Remove %MOSTLYCLEAN%.
501 * automake.in (handle_texinfo_helper): Return three arrays
502 $MOSTLYCLEAN, $TEXICLEAN, $MAINTCLEAN, instead of one array.
503 Only put LaTeX helper files in $MOSTLYCLEAN, the rest in
505 (handle_texinfo): Accept these, chop off extra newline, and
506 substitute them in `texinfos.am'.

515 * tests/defs.in: Unset TESTS, TEST_LOGS.
517 testsuite: generate $(parallel_tests) just when needed.
518 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): No need to list
519 $(parallel_tests) here, they can be generated as needed during
520 the test run, following our recommendation in the manual.
522 Remove superfluous line from recheck recheck-html.
523 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Remove superfluous
524 line, introduced bogusly in last commit.
526 2009-04-06 Akim Demaille <akim@lrde.epita.fr>
527 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
529 parallel-tests: redo check-html, recheck, recheck-html.
530 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-am): Remove.
531 (recheck-TESTS): Rename to ...
532 (recheck): ... this and rewrite, factored ...
533 (recheck-html): ... with this rule. Pass TEST_LOGS rather than
534 RECHECK_LOGS to `check' and `check-html', respectively, to avoid
535 running outdated tests. Invoking the public macros ensures
536 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time. Do not output errors
537 for tests that were not run yet. If the testsuite has not run
538 at all, run all tests.
539 (check-html): Run `check' target, not `check-TESTS', to ensure
540 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time.
541 (.PHONY, .MAKE, AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Adjust contents.
542 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Expose the check-html and
544 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Expose the recheck issues.
545 Bugs in previous version pointed out by Akim, who already had
546 them fixed in his original version.
548 2009-04-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
550 parallel-tests: LOG_COMPILER for tests without known extension.
551 * automake.in (handle_tests): If we don't match a known
552 extension, define `LOG_COMPILER' as `$(LOG_COMPILE)
553 $(AM_LOG_FLAGS) $(LOG_FLAGS)' and use it as %COMPILE% in check2.
554 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
555 Document it. In the examples, suggest using the AM_*LOG_FLAGS
556 flags in Makefile.am rather than the variables without `AM_'
558 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (AM_PL_LOG_FLAGS): Renamed from
559 (PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... this variable, intended for the user.
560 * tests/parallel-tests7.test: Extend test.
562 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
564 More node renaming in the manual.
565 * doc/automake.texi (Top): Adjust menu to ...
566 (API Versioning): ... this node being renamed from ...
567 (API versioning): ... this, and ...
568 (Wildcards): ... this being renamed from ...
569 (wildcards): ... this.
570 Report by Karl Berry.
572 2009-04-03 Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org>
574 * tests/instdir-java.test: Don't require gcj. Skip if javac is
577 2009-04-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
579 Fix testsuite failures due to nonexistent `dirlist' entries.
580 * tests/defs.in: When parsing `$aclocaldir/dirlist', only add
581 existing directories D to aclocal `-I D' flags, as aclocal
582 errors on nonexisting directories.
583 Report and analysis by Andreas Schwab.

591 2009-03-31 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
593 Avoid test failure due to paranoid TAR_OPTIONS envvar setting.
594 * tests/txinfo18.test: Don't let a TAR_OPTIONS=--keep-old-files
595 environment variable setting cause test failure. Fixed in
598 Use more common spelling in diagnostic: s/canonic/canonical/.
599 * automake.in (check_typos): s/canonic/canonical/.

610 * NEWS: Minor update.
612 Reorganize nodes in the manual.
613 Avoid texinfo sectioning commands without nodes, by either
614 introducing new nodes along with menus, or using headings
615 commands. Adjust all references.
616 * doc/automake.texi: Throughout the manual, adjust references to
617 new or changed node names. Rename `non-configured' to
618 `unconfigured', capitalize headings and section names better.

680 2009-03-29 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
682 Update AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS for parallel-tests.
683 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS):
684 Add check, recheck, check-html, recheck-html.

689 parallel-tests: New target recheck-html.
690 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (recheck-html): New phony,
691 recursive target. Factor common implementation with
693 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document recheck-html.
694 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Test it.

697 Akim Demaille <akim@lrde.epita.fr>
699 parallel-tests: redo lazy checking: recheck and RECHECK_LOGS.
700 Replace the LAZY_TEST_SUITE API with a simpler yet more powerful
701 one: RECHECK_LOGS specifies those tests which are to be removed
702 in any case before testing. Provide a `recheck' convenience
703 target to set RECHECK_LOGS to all failed and unexpectedly passed
704 tests. Document several ways to limit the set of tests run.
705 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (RECHECK_LOGS): New variable,
706 default to $(TESTS_LOGS).
707 (check-TESTS): Remove $(RECHECK_LOGS) not $(TEST_LOGS). Drop use
709 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Do not output note about lazy rerun, as
710 LAZY_TEST_SUITE is gone.
711 (recheck): New target.
712 (recheck-am, recheck-TESTS): New internal targets.
713 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Update @vindex for TESTS and
714 TEST_LOGS. Replace description of LAZY_TEST_SUITE with a list
715 of ways the set of tests to be run can be modified. Document
716 RECHECK_LOGS and the recheck target.
717 * tests/defs.in: Unset RECHECK_LOGS not LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
718 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Adjust, replacing LAZY_TEST_SUITE
719 with corresponding RECHECK_LOGS settings.
720 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: New tests.
721 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
722 Suggestion and different implementation by Akim Demaille.
724 parallel-tests: do not mark check-TESTS as `.MAKE'.
725 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Remove check-TESTS.
726 This rule removes files, which should not be executed with BSD
729 parallel-tests: warn about $(srcdir), $(top_srcdir) in TESTS.
730 * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn about portability issue
731 concerning generated TESTS files listed with a `$(srcdir)/'
732 or `$(top_srcdir)/' prefix.
733 * doc/automake.texi (TESTS): Document this issue. Mention that
734 the parallel-tests driver is still experimental.
735 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: New test.
736 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
738 check-html: Always create HTML output, note conversion failure.
739 * lib/am/check.am (check-html): Create `$(TEST_SUITE_HTML)' in
740 any case. Exit unsuccessfully if HTML creation failed.
741 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Amend test to expose this.
743 2009-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
745 parallel-tests: per-extension test driver: <EXT>_LOG_COMPILER.
746 For test files with extension <ext>, introduce the internal
747 variable <EXT>_LOG_COMPILE, which expands to
748 $(<EXT>_LOG_COMPILER) $(AM_<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS) $(<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS).
749 Turn also the lib/Automake/tests testsuite over to the new
751 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document `EXT_LOG_COMPILER' and
753 * lib/am/check2.am: Insert `%COMPILE%' right before test.
754 * automake.in (handle_tests): Substitute `COMPILE' for check2,
755 empty for tests without extension, and `$(ext_LOG_COMPILE)' for
756 extension `ext'. In the latter case, define it from the public
758 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use `parallel-test' globally.
759 * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove, not needed here
761 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Split ...
762 (PL_LOG_COMPILER, PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... into these new variables.
763 (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): New variable, initialize to `.pl'.
764 * tests/parallel-tests7.test: New test.
765 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
766 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
768 2009-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
770 parallel-tests: also record logs of SKIPped tests.
771 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Record
773 Suggested by Jim Meyering.
775 Minor optimization in parallel-tests text box creation.
776 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL-TESTS] (am__text_box): Use only one
777 awk invocation, rather than several tools, to create a text box.
778 Suggestion from Akim Demaille.
780 2009-03-29 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

814 manual: minor cleanups.
815 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Adjust spacing in example.
816 (Mixing Fortran 77 With C and C++): Drop unneeded @page breaks.
818 Sane (un)install for empty directory variables.
819 This patch fixes all install and uninstall rules to behave
820 sanely when $(wheredir) is the empty string, but $(where_HOW) is
821 nonempty, for all kinds of values of `where' and `HOW'.
822 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%, uninstall-%DIR%%PRIMARY%):

846 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
848 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
850 Ensure that empty directory variables work with empty content variables.
851 This test ensures that, if both $(wheredir) and $(where_HOW) are
852 the empty string, then the `install' and `uninstall' rules behave
853 sanely, for several directory variables `wheredir' and several
855 * tests/instdir.test: New test.
856 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
858 2009-03-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
860 Use --tag=FC with libtool also for .f90 files.
861 * automake.in: Set 'libtool_tag' for language `fc'.
862 * tests/fort5.test: Grep for the tag.

870 DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
871 When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
872 (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
873 thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
874 distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
875 need to be made writable recursively. Since file modes should
876 not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'.
877 * lib/am/distdir.am: Handle this situation.
878 * tests/distdir.test: Extend test to those cases.
880 Report by Peter Breitenlohner.
882 2009-03-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
884 Fix a documentation typo.
885 * doc/automake.texi (Headers): Clarify the note telling when it's
886 better not to use noinst_HEADERS.
888 2009-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
890 Define AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS, for gnulib's GNUmakefile.
891 This new macro lists all public targets which invoke `make'
892 recursively, or depend on targets which do so. It allows to
893 prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
894 passed on the `make' command line.
895 * lib/am/distdir.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): New
897 * lib/am/subdirs.am (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Likewise.
898 * lib/am/tags.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS):
901 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
903 Fix LAZY_TEST_SUITE handling and $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) recreation.
904 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Expand `$(TEST_LOGS)' only once
905 in the rule command, for systems with low command line limits.
906 Remove $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) even in LAZY_TEST_SUITE mode.
907 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Always recreate $(TEST_SUITE_LOG). Mention
908 lazy mode in the summary output.
909 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Test LAZY_TEST_SUITE semantics.
911 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
913 Fix parallel-tests with empty $(TESTS) for BSD make.
914 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Ignore
915 empty line stemming from empty $(TEST_LOGS), to avoid counting
917 (check-TESTS): If `$(TESTS)' is empty, override TEST_LOGS to be
918 empty, rather than `.log', for BSD make.
919 * tests/parallel-tests6.test: New test.
920 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
922 Mark check-html and check-TESTS as recursive for BSD make.
923 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Add check-TESTS
924 and check-html prerequisites.
926 Match XFAIL_TESTS correctly with Solaris make.
927 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS]: VPATH rewriting may have
928 changed test names, so srcdir needs to be taken into account
929 explicitly when checking against the list of tests expected
930 to fail. Fixes spurious FAILures from XFAIL_TESTS.
932 Use append mode to capture parallel test output.
933 * tests/lisp8.test: Use append mode for output from `make -j',
934 to avoid dropped lines.
935 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
937 parallel-tests: Fix summary output.
938 * lib/am/check.am (am__text_box): Fix unportable sed script,
939 replacing `\n' in the right hand side of an `s' command with
940 a literal newline. Kudos to Bruno Haible for the newline idea.
941 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Update test to expose this.
943 2009-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
945 Overhaul of tests/README.
946 * tests/README: General overhaul. Mention parallel test suite
947 execution, the test-suite.log file; document `Exit' vs. `exit',
948 `defs' vs. `defs-p', the naming of `parallel-tests' tests.
949 * README: Simplify, point to tests/README.
951 Documentation for the parallel-tests driver.
952 * doc/automake.texi (Tests, Options): Document the `parallel-tests'
953 option, including new features of the test driver.
956 New tests for `parallel-tests'.
957 * tests/parallel-tests.test: New file, to expose a bunch of
958 features of `parallel-tests': VERBOSE, clean, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
959 test dependencies, DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS.
960 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: New file, test check-html.
961 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: New file, test concurrency.

965 * tests/defs.in: Add a `required' check for rst2html.
966 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
968 parallel-tests: Ensure backward-compatible semantics.
969 For each test in Automake's test suite that uses TESTS, generate
970 an identical one that uses the `parallel-tests' option, for
971 coverage of backward-compatible functionality.
972 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: New file, generates distributed
973 Makefile.am snippet tests/parallel-tests.am to list all tests
974 that use the TESTS interface but not yet the `parallel-tests'
975 option, with names mangled to use suffix `-p.test', in ...
976 (parallel_tests): ... this new make macro.
977 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/parallel-tests.am)
978 ($(parallel_tests), defs-p): New rules.
979 (TESTS): Add check11.test and $(parallel_tests).
980 (check_SCRIPTS): Add defs-p, $(parallel_tests).
981 (check-clean-local): Remove `defs-p'.
982 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute gen-parallel-tests.
983 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): New variable, remove $(parallel_tests).
984 * bootstrap: Generate parallel-tests.am.
985 * tests/check8.test: Check for circular dependencies in rules.
986 * tests/check11.test: New test, check that SKIPs are not counted
988 * tests/defs.in: Unset DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS, LAZY_TEST_SUITE,
989 VERBOSE, so the tests are not influenced by the way our test

997 Parallel test execution: new option `parallel-tests'.
998 * automake.in (handle_tests): Set new conditional PARALLEL_TESTS
999 when reading check.am. Handle option `parallel-tests' and all
1000 its new semantics. Define macros TEST_SUFFIXES, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
1001 TEST_SUITE_HTML, TEST_LOGS, TEST_LOGS_TMP, suffix rules if
1002 applicable, and per-target rules for other tests. Add all log
1003 files to %clean_files at the `MOSTLY_CLEAN' level.
1004 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept

1038 `silent' mode unconditionally overrides portability-recursive.

1181 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): When checking the msvisualcpp
1182 and msvcmsys depmodes, do not require `-c -o' to work just yet.
1183 It is not needed by the depcomp script for these depmodes, and
1184 works around the ordering issue between the tests.
1185 Report by Peter Rosin.
1187 2009-03-09 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1189 * tests/compile2.test: Fix typo.

1207 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Separate the creation of
1208 `$(distdir)/$$subdir' for `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' and the recursion
1209 into the `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' in two separate rule commands.

1211 as detected by a witness file.

1216 2009-03-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1218 Solaris make testsuite fixes.
1219 * tests/check10.test: When a rule fails, Solaris make will
1220 output the complete command that failed; in this case the test
1221 suite driver. Adjust the test to not bogusly match lines from
1222 the driver, rather than its output.
1223 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Avoid triggering VPATH rewriting,
1224 not desirable in this test.
1225 * tests/specflg10.test: Use BUILT_SOURCES to specify an
1226 intermediate target, so Solaris make knows what to do.
1228 testsuite: SKIP compile tests if configure found no compiler.
1229 * tests/depend6.test: configure will exit 77 if AC_PROG_CC found
1230 no working compiler. Allow the test to be SKIPped in that case.

1292 --symlink-regex, --dry-run; support `--' to separate options and
1293 commands from files. New target download.gnu.org.ua. Expand
1294 `.gnupload' file contents before command line arguments.
1296 (dprint, mkdirective, mksymlink, upload): New functions.

1303 libtool in the preprocessor invocation (as is done in
1304 depmode=cpp). Silence compiler stderr.
1305 [msvcmsys]: New depmode as a derivative of depmode=msvisualcpp.
1306 msvcmsys transforms any backslashes into forward slashes to
1307 make the grep in depend.m4 match, instead of the "cygpath -u"
1308 that is used in msvisualcpp.

1383 Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
1384 Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
1385 containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play
1386 well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
1387 as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
1388 generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
1389 This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
1390 but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
1391 * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
1392 page due to missing help2man.
1393 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true
1394 if this makefile deals with man pages.

1396 check that no man page in $(MANS) contains the replacement text

1684 (require_conf_file): Enqueue if needed.
1685 (get_number_of_threads): Can do threads with --add-missing now.
1686 (handle_makefiles_threaded): Let worker threads enqueue, let
1687 master attend to queued requirements at the right time.
1688 * tests/parallel-am.test: Explain the purpose of the include
1690 * tests/parallel-am2.test: Also cope with --add-missing.

1693 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1695 Implement serialization for Locations.
1696 * lib/Automake/Location.pm (serialize, deserialize): New
1697 functions. They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and
1698 to restore a Location from a thread queue. The API is
1699 unsymmetric (array vs. queue) because enqueuing data needs to
1702 Parallel automake: ordered output messages.
1703 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (%_default_options): New options
1704 `ordered' default enabled, `queue', default zero (no queue),
1705 `queue_key' default undefined.
1706 (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
1707 messages or backtrace output.
1708 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
1709 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
1710 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
1711 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
1712 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
1714 (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
1715 to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.
1716 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Unset channel option `ordered'
1717 for fatal, automake, and verb channels.
1718 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as
1720 (handle_makefiles_threaded): Create message queues for each
1721 input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
1722 ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.
1723 * tests/parallel-am.test: Also check for ordered output (in the
1724 absence of --add-missing races).
1725 * tests/parallel-am2.test: New test; check for ordered output of
1726 warning and (regular) error messages.
1727 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1729 Parallel automake execution: AUTOMAKE_JOBS.
1730 * lib/Automake/Config.in (perl_threads): New global.
1731 * automake.in: Use it. If the perl supports interpreter-based
1732 threading, then use `threads' and `Thread::Queue'.

1734 factored out from main.
1735 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
1736 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
1737 of independent makefiles.

1739 thread queue to distribute handling the different makefiles.
1740 Collect $exit_code values from threads.
1741 (main): Use new functions.
1742 * aclocal.in: No threads here.

1748 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use `Automake::Config' and
1750 (verb): Prepend thread ID (tid) to verbose messages.
1751 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (msg): Before exiting, flush stderr,
1752 needed for worker threads.
1753 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Also
1754 include the build tree path, so Config.pm is found.

1764 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (set_dir_cache_file): New function.
1765 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Instead of resetting the
1766 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
1767 using set_dir_cache_file.
1769 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
1770 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
1771 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
1772 as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
1773 enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.
1774 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (fatal, automake, verb): Set
1775 `uniq_part' to `UP_NONE' when registering these channels.
1777 Fix 'config.status --file=... depfiles' with new Autoconf.
1778 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Eval

1788 Support for Python 3.0, drop support for pre-2.0.
1789 * lib/py-compile: Do not import string; use sys.stdout.write
1790 instead of print, files.split instead of string.split.
1791 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Also look for python3 and
1792 phython3.0; do not look for python1.5. Use sys.stdout.write.
1793 (AM_PYTHON_CHECK_VERSION): Do not use string; adjust to xrange
1794 removal in Python 3.0, and changed semantics of map.
1795 * doc/automake.texi (Python, Hard-Coded Install Paths): Update
1796 Python versions mentioned in the manual, using 2.5 everywhere.

1805 ($output_rules, $output_trailer): Fix comment, and sort
1806 declarations in the order they will appear in the output.
1807 ($all_target): Unused variable, remove.
1808 (Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,
1809 clarify that %am_file_cache is not reset.
1810 (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
1811 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
1812 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort
1813 remaining variables in the same order as in the section
1814 `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.
1816 Let stderr output end up on fd 2 in testsuite.
1817 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Output recorded stderr on file

1824 Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
1825 Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported
1826 through thread creation. This patch fixes that by recreating
1827 the hashes upon thread creation with a CLONE special subroutine,
1828 which is automatically invoked by new enough Perl versions.
1829 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (CLONE): New special
1830 subroutine to fix self hashes upon thread creation.
1831 * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: New, sister test to
1832 Condition.pl, but spawns a new threads after each creation of a

1874 test generates DVI and/or PDF output (through distcheck).

1966 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.

1969 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
1970 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
1971 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
1972 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
1973 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
1974 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
1975 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
1976 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
1977 passed to libtool in one invocation.

2108 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2110 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
2111 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
2112 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
2113 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
2114 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
2115 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
2116 lower the limit to 40, too.
2117 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
2118 (am__base_list): New macro.
2119 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
2120 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)

2123 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2125 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
2126 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
2127 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
2128 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
2129 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
2130 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
2131 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
2132 * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function. Use it throughout,
2133 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.
2134 * tests/aclibobj.test, tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca11.test,

2346 Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
2347 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
2348 from output for comparison.
2350 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
2351 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
2352 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
2353 relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted

2368 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
2369 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
2370 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
2371 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.

2399 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
2400 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.

2446 conditional config.status rule.
2447 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
2449 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
2450 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
2451 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
2452 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.

2549 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
2550 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.

2561 Document notrans_ prefix.
2563 * tests/notrans.test: New test.

2568 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2570 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
2571 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
2572 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
2573 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
2574 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
2575 a problem, it should be revisited.
2577 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
2578 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
2579 files keyed by their target directory.
2580 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
2581 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
2582 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
2583 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
2584 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
2585 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
2586 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
2587 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be

2593 a list for byte compilation after installation.
2594 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
2595 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
2596 to install multiple files at once.

2630 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
2632 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2634 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
2635 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
2636 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
2637 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.

2639 setting MAKE to test gmake.

2730 Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.
2731 * tests/obsolete.test: Check for presence of autoupdate. Apparently,
2732 FreeBSD may install the other Autoconf programs without a version
2733 suffix but not autoupdate.
2735 Fix Heisenbug trying to unset a sometimes-not-set variable.

2750 texinfo.tex is searched in the same directory as the Makefile.am
2751 that needs it. Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
2752 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and

2828 lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
2830 Fix the distdir target to cope with spaces in absolute file names.
2831 * lib/am/distdir.am: Quote all instances of $(distdir) and

3510 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
3511 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
3512 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
3513 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth

3717 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
3718 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.

3731 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
3732 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
3733 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
3735 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
3736 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
3737 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
3738 Report from Bas Wijnen.
3739 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
3740 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3742 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
3743 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
3744 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
3745 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
3746 if we cannot create this file.
3747 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
3748 (unlink_tmp): New function.

3751 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3753 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
3754 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
3755 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
3756 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct

3759 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
3761 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
3763 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3765 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
3766 can install only one file at a time.
3767 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
3768 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
3769 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
3770 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
3771 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
3772 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
3773 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
3774 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
3775 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
3776 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
3777 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
3778 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
3779 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
3780 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
3781 intermediate directories; this is safer.
3782 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
3783 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
3784 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
3785 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
3786 traditional implementations.

3792 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3794 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,

3801 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
3802 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
3803 computed by config.status.
3804 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
3805 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.

3824 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

3828 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
3829 Fix some comment typos.
3831 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3833 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
3834 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
3835 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
3837 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
3840 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
3841 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
3842 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
3843 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
3844 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all

3853 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
3854 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
3855 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
3858 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
3860 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.

3864 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
3865 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
3866 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
3868 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3870 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use

3900 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3902 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
3903 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
3904 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
3905 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
3906 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
3907 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
3908 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
3910 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3912 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
3914 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
3915 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
3917 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
3918 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
3920 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
3921 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
3922 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
3923 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
3924 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
3926 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
3928 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
3930 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
3931 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
3932 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
3935 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
3936 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
3939 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...

3951 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
3952 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
3955 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
3956 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
3957 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
3959 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
3960 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
3961 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
3962 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
3964 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
3965 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
3966 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
3968 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
3969 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
3970 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
3973 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
3974 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
3975 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
3978 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
3979 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
3980 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
3983 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
3984 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
3985 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
3986 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
3988 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
3989 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
3990 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
3991 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
3992 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
3993 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.

4009 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
4011 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4013 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
4014 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
4015 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
4016 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
4017 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
4018 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
4019 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
4020 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

4323 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
4324 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.

4351 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
4352 Report from Stepan Kasal.
4354 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
4355 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
4357 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4359 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
4360 the $(infodir) exists.
4362 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4364 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
4366 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4368 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
4369 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
4371 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
4372 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
4373 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
4374 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
4375 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
4376 for missing files that can be installed.
4377 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
4379 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4381 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
4382 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
4384 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
4385 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
4386 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
4388 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4390 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
4391 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
4392 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
4393 if the usual candidates show up.
4395 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4397 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
4399 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4401 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream
4404 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4406 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
4407 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
4409 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4411 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
4412 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
4414 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
4416 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
4417 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
4420 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4422 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
4423 fix an underful hbox.
4424 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
4425 New upstream versions.
4427 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4429 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
4431 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4433 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
4434 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
4435 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
4436 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
4437 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
4439 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
4441 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
4442 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
4443 Report from Harald Dunkel.
4445 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
4447 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
4448 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
4449 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
4450 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
4452 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4454 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
4455 `mkdir -p' does not work.
4456 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
4457 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
4458 Report from Noah Friedman.
4460 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
4461 Report from Karl Berry.
4463 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4464 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4466 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
4467 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
4468 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
4470 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4472 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
4473 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
4474 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
4475 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
4476 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
4477 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
4478 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
4479 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
4480 Report from Ed Hartnett.
4482 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4484 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
4486 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
4487 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
4488 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
4489 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
4490 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
4492 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4494 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4495 Fix redirections in previous patch.
4497 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4499 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4500 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
4501 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
4502 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
4503 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
4504 Report from Bob Proulx.
4506 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
4508 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
4510 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
4512 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4514 Fix PR automake/461:
4515 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
4516 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
4517 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
4518 Report from Tom Tromey.
