3 Skip specflg10.test without a C++ compiler.
4 * tests/specflg10.test: Require g++.
5 Report by Thien-Thi Nguyen.
7 2009-05-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
9 Revert last patch, IRIX has an editor named `jot'.
10 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Do not try `jot'.
11 * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
12 * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
13 Report by Peter O'Gorman.
15 2009-05-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
17 testsuite: also try `jot' as `seq' replacement.
18 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Try BSD `jot' before resorting to a
19 slow but portable shell loop.
20 * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
21 * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
22 Suggestion by Peter O'Gorman.
24 Fix test failure when pkg.m4 is not found, only pkg-config.
25 * tests/vala5.test: Update comment, this test is not expected to
26 fail any more. Require valac version 0.7.0. Skip if configure
27 fails, could be due to unexpanded PKG_CHECK_MODULES or too old
29 Report by Simon Josefsson.
31 2009-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
34 * configure.ac: Bump version to 1.11.
35 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.11. Remove line
38 Fix maintainer-check failures.
39 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Use `$(am__cd)' instead
41 * tests/vala2.test: Use `rm -f' instead of `rm'.
43 Revert Automake license to GPLv2+.
44 Automake will move to GPLv3+ once the Exception statement has
45 been rewritten to use the new GPLv3 exception language. This
46 change does not impact the COPYING file that may be installed
47 by `automake --add-missing'.
48 * COPYING: Revert to GPLv2. All uses changed.
51 Rewrite NEWS for 1.11.
52 * NEWS: Rewrite, merging 1.10b and 1.10c entries.
54 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
55 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from
58 Update release statistics, improve release-stats rule.
59 * Makefile.am (release-stats): Output stderr of pstops in
60 addition to catching it, for better debugging.
61 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.10.2.
63 Cope with parallel BSD make -jN semantics.
64 When BSD `make -jN' is used without `-B' which enables backwards
65 compatible semantics, it may reuse the same shell for several
66 commands within a rule; so ensure we do not leave it in a
67 different directory, nor `exit 0' early in a multi-command rule.
68 * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): After running `distcleancheck',
69 change back to original working directory.
70 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_HIN%): Run autoheader in a
72 * lib/am/mans.am (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Do not `exit 0' early
73 in a rule that consists of several shell invocations. Parallel
74 NetBSD `make -jN' without `-B' will use only one shell for all
75 commands, but won't respawn one after `exit 0'. Fixes
77 * tests/makej2.test: New test.
78 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
81 * lib/am/install.am: Fix typo.
83 2009-05-17 Matthias Klose <doko@ubuntu.com> (tiny change)
84 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
86 Let AM_PATH_PYTHON honor python's idea about the site directory.
87 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): When computing pythondir and
88 pyexecdir, pass the expanded prefix resp. exec_prefix as `prefix'
89 to get_python_lib, so python can determine the name of the site
90 directory depending on the install location. Afterwards, replace
91 the directory names with the unexpanded values of $PYTHON_PREFIX
92 resp. $PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX again, to allow override according to
93 the documentation. Fixes site directory computation for Debian
94 and Ubuntu (`dist-packages' for a prefix of `/usr' or `/usr/local',
95 `site-packages' elsewhere).
96 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
98 2009-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
100 Vala: for now, require GNU make.
101 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): GNU make is currently
102 required for Vala sources.
103 * tests/vala2.test, tests/vala3.test, tests/vala5.test: Require
106 2009-05-17 Jürg Billeter <j@bitron.ch>
108 Vala: Use $(srcdir) in rebuild rules.
109 valac is always run in srcdir as the generated files are distributed.
110 So srcdir needs to be taken into account in the rebuild rules to not
111 wrongly trigger a rebuild in the wrong directory.
112 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Rebuild files in
114 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules from VPATH build.
116 Vala: Add and test rebuild rules for generated header and vapi files.
117 valac will generate additional files when using, for example, -H in
118 VALAFLAGS. We need to recognize these options and add appropriate
119 rebuild rules to fix parallel build.
120 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Recognize -H, -h,
121 --header, --internal-header, --vapi, --internal-api, --gir flags
122 to valac and rebuild rules for generated headers; distribute
123 and maintainer-clean them.
124 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules.
126 2009-05-17 Jürg Billeter <j@bitron.ch>
127 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
129 Vala: Fix build when using per-target VALAFLAGS.
130 This does not yet implement full per-target support for VALAFLAGS,
131 however, this change at least fixes building when there is only one
132 target per source file, which is the most common situation.
133 * automake.in: Remove `VALAFLAGS' from `flags' in language struct.
134 (lang_vala_finish_target): Handle `*_VALAFLAGS rewriting' manually
135 here; check `VALAFLAGS' user variables.
136 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove vala5.test.
137 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Document per-target flag
140 2009-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
143 Document some formatting restrictions for Makefile.am files.
144 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation, Usage of Conditionals):
145 Variable assignments should not be indented by TABs, rule commands
146 should. Conditional keyword statements should not be indented.
150 2009-05-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
152 Fix copyright years in *.am files.
153 * lib/am/check.am, lib/am/check2.am, lib/am/distdir.am,
154 lib/am/program.am, lib/am/tags.am: Fix copyright years.
156 distdir: avoid duplicate `find' traversal with subpackages.
157 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir) [%?SUBDIRS%]: When recursing, set
159 [%?TOPDIR_P%]: When `$(am__skip_mode_fix)' is set, avoid tree
161 * tests/subpkg4.test: New test, to ensure that we still walk the
162 whole tree while fixing permissions. We don't ensure it is
164 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
166 Disable test cleanup trap with OSF1/Tru64 sh.
167 * configure.ac: Test whether /bin/sh has working 'set -e'
168 in conjunction with an exit trap. Set $am_cv_sh_errexit_works
169 accordingly, substitute sh_errexit_works, and warn about
170 leftover test directories with broken shells like Tru64 /bin/sh.
171 * tests/defs.in: Do not install any traps with broken shells.
173 2009-05-02 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
174 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
176 Recommend *-local hooks without commands, for extensibility.
177 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Show how to write the clean-local
178 extension with separate phony target.
179 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Practice what we preach
180 by marking this phony. For consistency, rename from ...
181 (check-clean-local): ... this.
183 2009-04-28 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

199 silent-rules: fix alignment of less verbose output.
200 * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define `$silent_var' as
201 VAR_ASIS, not VAR_PRETTY, to avoid squashing of multiple
203 * tests/silent.test: Amend test.
204 Report by Jan Engelhardt.

212 Report by Eric Blake.
214 Indent rule commands consistently with a TAB.
215 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Consistently use TAB, not
216 spaces, for indentation of commands, even if indentation may not
218 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-info-am): Likewise.
220 Prompted by report from John Calcote.
222 parallel-tests: fix recheck* targets for non-GNU make.
223 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Override AM_MAKEFLAGS
224 to portably transport the TEST_LOGS settings through the
225 recursive `make' invocations. Fixes parallel-tests9.test
226 failure with Solaris make.
227 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Also ensure that the test
228 summary is correct for `recheck'.
229 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
231 2009-04-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
233 Avoid racy depmodes with universal builds.
234 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): If universal builds are used,
236 * lib/depcomp: Ignore `-arch' argument for makedepend depmode.
237 Report by Bruno Haible, analysis by Bruno Haible, Peter O'Gorman,
240 2009-04-21 Fabian Alenius <fabian.alenius@gmail.com> (tiny change)
242 Fix link to autotools tutorial.
243 * doc/automake.texi (Autotools Introduction): Fix broken link.
246 2009-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
248 testsuite: minor w32 fixes.
249 * tests/depend5.test: Don't fail if the system or file system
250 cannot handle weird characters, instead just try a few.
251 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Really wait until the serial test
252 has finished, before letting the cleanup trap do its work.
253 Report by Bruno Haible.
255 Avoid nonportable `./FILE' instead of `FILE' in test.
256 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not use `$(top_builddir)/sub/libname.la'
257 in *_LDADD entry if `$(top_builddir)' is `.'. Fixes test failure
258 with parallel NetBSD make.
260 Detect make `include' style also with parallel non-GNU make.
261 Parallel NetBSD make outputs `--- $target ---' messages,
262 parallel HP-UX make outputs `Making target"$target"'. Just
263 ignore all additional output for the include test.
264 * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Ignore additional output
265 produced by `make' to relax `include' style detection.
267 manual: add FAQ `Debugging Make Rules'.
268 * doc/automake.texi (Debugging Make Rules): New FAQ section.
269 (Top, FAQ): Adjust menus, and capitalization of the description
270 of the `Hard-Coded Install Paths' node.
271 (Multiple Outputs): Add comment to restore font-lock for vim.
272 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
274 Let XFile::lock warn and fail with parallel non-GNU make, too.
275 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Also match `-j' for parallel BSD
276 make, and `-P' for parallel HP-UX make.
278 Fix AM_PROG_VALAC version requirement detection.
279 * m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Remove `Vala ' from valac
280 --version string before comparing versions.
281 * tests/vala2.test: Require version 0.7.0 for the test.
282 Fixes failures of vala2.test and vala3.test with older valac.
284 Correctly treat all assignments with bogus trailing comments.
285 Before this patch, automake would silently fail to diagnose and
286 to copy into the output those variable assignments which are
287 preceded by a comment, and end in backslash newline comment.
288 * automake.in (read_am_file): When determining whether an
289 escaped newline followed by a comment is an error, correctly use
290 the parser state, not the contents of a saved comment, which
291 could still be carried over from a comment before an assignment.
293 * tests/commen11.test: New test.
294 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
295 Report by Karl Berry.

299 manual: improve markup: itemize list in `Extending'.
300 * doc/automake.texi (Extending): Use `@item's for user override
303 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
305 bin_PROGRAMS = $(EXTRA_PROGRAMS) should work.
306 * automake.in (am_install_var): For `PROGRAMS' primary, strip
307 `$(EXEEXT)' here already, so the name uniquifying works even
308 when we look at names repeatedly, with inconsistent executable
309 extension; through variable references, we might have added
310 the extension ourselves earlier.
311 (handle_programs): No need to strip `$(EXEEXT)' here any more.

350 2008-10-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
352 Minor fixups for Vala support.

366 2008-10-09 Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>
368 * automake.in: Support Vala in non-recursive builds. Make sure
369 foo_VALAFLAGS really use used. Inject --library switch when building
371 * doc/automake.texi, NEWS: Document Vala support.
372 * m4/vala.m4: Rename AC_PROG_VALAC to AM_PROG_VALAC.
373 * tests/Makefile.am: Additional Vala tests.
374 * tests/vala.test: Also test VALAFLAGS support.
375 * tests/vala1.test: Test non-recursive Vala support.
376 * tests/vala2.test: Test _PKGNAME variables.
377 * tests/vala3.test: Test compiling of C code generated by Vala.
379 2008-10-09 Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>
381 Initial support for the vala programming language.
382 * automake.in: Add %known_libraries, lang_vala_rewrite,
383 lang_vala_finish and lang_vala_target_hook to support the Vala
384 programming language. Register Vala language hooks.
385 * lib/am/vala.am: Empty rules file to prevent creation of depend2
386 based rules for Vala code.
387 * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Add vala.am.
388 * m4/vala.m4: Provide AC_PROG_VALAC for detecting the Vala compiler.
389 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add vala.m4.
390 * tests/vala.test: Test Vala support.
391 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
393 2009-04-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
395 testsuite: do not fail on systems without read permissions.
396 * tests/instfail-info.test: Do not use the `non-root'
397 requirement for testing whether files may be made unreadable;
398 instead use `test -r' and skip the test if that still works.
399 * tests/instfail-java.test: Likewise.

407 testsuite: parallel make fixes.
408 This patch fixes a couple of testsuite bugs exposed with
409 `MAKE=make\ -jN make check'.
410 * tests/libtoo10.test: Do not run `clean' in same $MAKE
411 invocation as `all check'. Fixes test failure with parallel
413 * tests/nobase.test: Be sure to create a directory before
414 creating files in it. Fixes test failure with MAKE=`make -jN'
415 for NetBSD make. This issue is hidden with parallel GNU make
416 due to its parallel breadth first update order.
417 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Skip if $MAKE contains `-j',
418 GNU make will use the environment variable $MAKE for recursion
419 and thus run in parallel even if `$MAKE -j1' was used on the
420 command line in the test. Also, after running the test proper,
421 wait long enough so that background jobs have finished and there
422 are no open files left when the cleanup code runs.
424 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
426 silent-rules reorganization, --enable-silent-rules switch.
427 This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default
428 verbosity. Since configure now needs to know whether the
429 `silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be
430 set within AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, or with a new AM_SILENT_RULES macro
431 but not any more through AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or the automake
432 command line option `--silent-rules'.
433 * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define the default verbose
434 variable in terms of `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'.
435 (handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.
436 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'. If seen,
437 enable global `silent-rules' option.
438 (usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'.
439 (parse_arguments): Do not accept `--silent-rules'.
440 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Overhaul. Document
441 AM_SILENT_RULES, --enable-silent-rules, --disable-silent-rules,
442 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY. Show an example for user-added variables
443 for less verbose output.
444 (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'.
445 (Public Macros): Document `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
447 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
448 `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac.
449 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If the `silent-rules' option
450 was enabled, require `AM_SILENT_RULES'; move AM_BACKSLASH
451 initialization to ...
452 * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): ... this new file, new macro.
453 Deal with `--enable-silent-rules' switch; define
454 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.
455 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add silent.m4.
456 * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use
458 * tests/flavor.test: Remove test for `--silent-rules'.
459 * tests/silent.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
460 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; use `--enable-silent-rules'.
461 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
462 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
463 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
464 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
465 * tests/silent6.test: Likewise. Test `AM_SILENT_RULES' as well
466 as `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([silent-rules])' instead of
468 * tests/silent7.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
469 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; ensure the latter is rejected.
470 Test combinations of --enable-silent-rules and
471 --disable-silent-rules with `make V=0' and `make V=1'.
472 Suggestion for configure-time switch by Bob Friesenhahn.
474 manual: Add note about parallelism and tests ordering.
475 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
476 Dependencies between test logs work for tests with known
477 extensions only. Hint that tests should be prepared to be run
480 Fix maintainer-check failure.
481 * tests/suffix13.test: Use Exit not exit.
483 2009-04-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
485 parallel-tests: more testsuite exposure.
486 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Also test overriding TEST_LOGS and
489 parallel-tests: let VERBOSE=yes output appear before summary.
490 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): In `VERBOSE=yes' mode,
491 output contents of `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' before, rather than after
492 the test suite summary. This ensures that the email address
493 appears near the end of the output; also, the log file already
494 starts with a result summary anyway.
496 parallel-tests: `clean recheck' should not rerun all tests.
497 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-html): Do not rerun all
498 tests if `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' does not exist.
499 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Adjust recheck test.
500 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Adjust recheck-html test.

505 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
507 parallel-tests: Fix driver for nonempty executable extension.
508 * automake.in (handle_tests): New substitution `%am__EXEEXT%',
509 defined as 'FALSE' for non-generic rules, or if no programs are
510 built at all. Otherwise, define it as configure conditional.
511 * lib/am/check2.am [%am__EXEEXT%] (%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): New
512 conditional generic rule.
513 * m4/init.m4: Hook an m4_provide of `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' onto
514 Autoconf's `_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT' macro.
515 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' has been provided
516 at `AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE' time, then introduce a conditional
517 `am__EXEEXT', defined to true iff `$EXEEXT' is nonempty.
518 * tests/check5.test: Only match `_EXEEXT_[1-9]' here, to avoid
519 false positives stemming from `@am__EXEEXT_TRUE@'.

546 Do not remove texinfo outputs upon mostlyclean.
547 * lib/am/texinfos.am: New substitutions %MOSTLYCLEAN%,
549 (clean-aminfo): New target, remove %TEXICLEAN% if nonemtpy,
550 declare phony. Hook this target to ...

552 (?CYGNUS?clean-info): ... this.
553 (maintainer-clean-aminfo): Remove %MAINTCLEAN% if nonempty,
555 (mostlyclean-aminfo): Remove %MOSTLYCLEAN%.
556 * automake.in (handle_texinfo_helper): Return three arrays
557 $MOSTLYCLEAN, $TEXICLEAN, $MAINTCLEAN, instead of one array.
558 Only put LaTeX helper files in $MOSTLYCLEAN, the rest in

569 testsuite: unset TESTS, TEST_LOGS, to avoid interference.
570 * tests/defs.in: Unset TESTS, TEST_LOGS.
572 testsuite: generate $(parallel_tests) just when needed.
573 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): No need to list
574 $(parallel_tests) here, they can be generated as needed during
575 the test run, following our recommendation in the manual.
577 Remove superfluous line from recheck recheck-html.
578 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Remove superfluous
579 line, introduced bogusly in last commit.

584 parallel-tests: redo check-html, recheck, recheck-html.
585 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-am): Remove.
586 (recheck-TESTS): Rename to ...
587 (recheck): ... this and rewrite, factored ...
588 (recheck-html): ... with this rule. Pass TEST_LOGS rather than
589 RECHECK_LOGS to `check' and `check-html', respectively, to avoid
590 running outdated tests. Invoking the public macros ensures
591 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time. Do not output errors
592 for tests that were not run yet. If the testsuite has not run
593 at all, run all tests.
594 (check-html): Run `check' target, not `check-TESTS', to ensure
595 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time.
596 (.PHONY, .MAKE, AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Adjust contents.
597 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Expose the check-html and

605 parallel-tests: LOG_COMPILER for tests without known extension.
606 * automake.in (handle_tests): If we don't match a known
607 extension, define `LOG_COMPILER' as `$(LOG_COMPILE)
608 $(AM_LOG_FLAGS) $(LOG_FLAGS)' and use it as %COMPILE% in check2.
609 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
610 Document it. In the examples, suggest using the AM_*LOG_FLAGS
611 flags in Makefile.am rather than the variables without `AM_'
613 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (AM_PL_LOG_FLAGS): Renamed from

754 parallel-tests: redo lazy checking: recheck and RECHECK_LOGS.
755 Replace the LAZY_TEST_SUITE API with a simpler yet more powerful
756 one: RECHECK_LOGS specifies those tests which are to be removed
757 in any case before testing. Provide a `recheck' convenience
758 target to set RECHECK_LOGS to all failed and unexpectedly passed
759 tests. Document several ways to limit the set of tests run.
760 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (RECHECK_LOGS): New variable,
761 default to $(TESTS_LOGS).
762 (check-TESTS): Remove $(RECHECK_LOGS) not $(TEST_LOGS). Drop use
764 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Do not output note about lazy rerun, as
765 LAZY_TEST_SUITE is gone.
766 (recheck): New target.
767 (recheck-am, recheck-TESTS): New internal targets.
768 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Update @vindex for TESTS and
769 TEST_LOGS. Replace description of LAZY_TEST_SUITE with a list
770 of ways the set of tests to be run can be modified. Document
771 RECHECK_LOGS and the recheck target.
772 * tests/defs.in: Unset RECHECK_LOGS not LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
773 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Adjust, replacing LAZY_TEST_SUITE
774 with corresponding RECHECK_LOGS settings.
775 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: New tests.
776 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
777 Suggestion and different implementation by Akim Demaille.
779 parallel-tests: do not mark check-TESTS as `.MAKE'.
780 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Remove check-TESTS.
781 This rule removes files, which should not be executed with BSD
784 parallel-tests: warn about $(srcdir), $(top_srcdir) in TESTS.
785 * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn about portability issue
786 concerning generated TESTS files listed with a `$(srcdir)/'
787 or `$(top_srcdir)/' prefix.
788 * doc/automake.texi (TESTS): Document this issue. Mention that
789 the parallel-tests driver is still experimental.
790 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: New test.

800 parallel-tests: per-extension test driver: <EXT>_LOG_COMPILER.
801 For test files with extension <ext>, introduce the internal
802 variable <EXT>_LOG_COMPILE, which expands to
803 $(<EXT>_LOG_COMPILER) $(AM_<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS) $(<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS).
804 Turn also the lib/Automake/tests testsuite over to the new
806 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document `EXT_LOG_COMPILER' and

809 * automake.in (handle_tests): Substitute `COMPILE' for check2,
810 empty for tests without extension, and `$(ext_LOG_COMPILE)' for
811 extension `ext'. In the latter case, define it from the public

925 DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
926 When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
927 (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
928 thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
929 distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
930 need to be made writable recursively. Since file modes should
931 not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'.
932 * lib/am/distdir.am: Handle this situation.
933 * tests/distdir.test: Extend test to those cases.
935 Report by Peter Breitenlohner.

945 Define AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS, for gnulib's GNUmakefile.
946 This new macro lists all public targets which invoke `make'
947 recursively, or depend on targets which do so. It allows to
948 prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
949 passed on the `make' command line.

960 in the rule command, for systems with low command line limits.
961 Remove $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) even in LAZY_TEST_SUITE mode.
962 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Always recreate $(TEST_SUITE_LOG). Mention
963 lazy mode in the summary output.
964 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Test LAZY_TEST_SUITE semantics.

979 and check-html prerequisites.
981 Match XFAIL_TESTS correctly with Solaris make.
982 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS]: VPATH rewriting may have
983 changed test names, so srcdir needs to be taken into account
984 explicitly when checking against the list of tests expected
985 to fail. Fixes spurious FAILures from XFAIL_TESTS.
987 Use append mode to capture parallel test output.
988 * tests/lisp8.test: Use append mode for output from `make -j',
989 to avoid dropped lines.

998 2009-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1000 Overhaul of tests/README.
1001 * tests/README: General overhaul. Mention parallel test suite
1002 execution, the test-suite.log file; document `Exit' vs. `exit',
1003 `defs' vs. `defs-p', the naming of `parallel-tests' tests.
1004 * README: Simplify, point to tests/README.
1006 Documentation for the parallel-tests driver.
1007 * doc/automake.texi (Tests, Options): Document the `parallel-tests'
1008 option, including new features of the test driver.
1011 New tests for `parallel-tests'.

1025 an identical one that uses the `parallel-tests' option, for
1026 coverage of backward-compatible functionality.
1027 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: New file, generates distributed
1028 Makefile.am snippet tests/parallel-tests.am to list all tests
1029 that use the TESTS interface but not yet the `parallel-tests'
1030 option, with names mangled to use suffix `-p.test', in ...

1053 * automake.in (handle_tests): Set new conditional PARALLEL_TESTS
1054 when reading check.am. Handle option `parallel-tests' and all
1055 its new semantics. Define macros TEST_SUFFIXES, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
1056 TEST_SUITE_HTML, TEST_LOGS, TEST_LOGS_TMP, suffix rules if
1057 applicable, and per-target rules for other tests. Add all log
1058 files to %clean_files at the `MOSTLY_CLEAN' level.
1059 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
1061 * lib/am/check.am [!PARALLEL_TESTS] (check-TESTS): Move existing

1077 * automake.in (define_verbose_var, verbose_flag)
1078 (define_verbose_tagvar, handle_options, handle_languages)
1079 (handle_configure, parse_arguments): Rename the `silent' option
1080 to `silent-rules', so it coincides with the `--silent-rules'
1081 command line option; adjust all code and comments.
1082 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Likewise.
1083 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake, Libtool Flags, Options):

1087 tests/silent3.test, tests/silent4.test, tests/silent5.test,
1088 tests/silent6.test, tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1089 Suggestion by Jan Engelhardt.
1091 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1093 `silent' mode unconditionally overrides portability-recursive.
1094 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Don't handle a global `silent'
1095 option here; instead, ...
1096 (handle_options): ... handle the "normal" `silent' option here.
1097 Override `portability-recursive' here, at the last point we deal
1098 with options, instead ...
1099 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): ... of here.
1100 * tests/silent6.test: Replace unportable make snippet, remove
1101 FIXME note, add more test cases of options passed in the various
1104 Drop extra line from compile rules when `silent' is not used.
1105 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Only use the `%VERBOSE%
1106 @AM_BACKSLASH@' extra line if ?VERBOSE?.
1107 Report by Ralf Corsepius.
1109 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1111 Keep `--silent-rules' across triggered automake reruns.
1112 * automake.in (usage): Reformat to be a bit clearer.
1113 (handle_configure): Remove substitutions %STRICTNESS% and
1114 %USE-DEPS% in favor of a new substitution %AUTOMAKE-OPTIONS%

1117 * tests/flavor.test: New test, to ensure --$flavor (gnu,
1118 gnits, foreign, cygnus), --ignore-deps, and --silent-rules are
1119 preserved across automake reruns.

1132 The public variables are named `AM_V_' plus the compiler
1133 short-hand now, e.g.: AM_V_CC, AM_V_CXXLD, AM_V_GEN. The
1134 dispatch variables are internal details and begin with

1152 2009-03-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1154 New automake command line option `--silent-rules'.

1156 override command line warning settings.
1157 (usage): Document it.
1158 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake): Document it.
1160 * tests/dollarvar.test: Also test `--silent-rules'.
1161 * tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Use `$MAKE V=1' to enable verbose

1192 (define_per_target_linker_variable): Use them where appropriate
1193 to define variables to implement the silent output machinery.
1194 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
1195 `silent', turning off `portability-recursive'.
1196 * lib/am/depend2.am: Add %VERBOSE% and %SILENT% prefixes where
1198 * lib/am/lex.am: Likewise.
1199 * lib/am/library.am: Likewise.

1226 Ignore warnings from autom4te about Libtool macros.
1227 * tests/ltinstloc.test: When testing for presence of warnings,
1228 filter out any that are not interesting for this test, e.g.,
1229 warnings about installed files or about bogusly named cache
1230 variables in libtool.m4, emitted by recent Autoconf when older
1233 2009-03-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1235 Relax depcomp test for MSVC to not require minuso.
1236 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): When checking the msvisualcpp
1237 and msvcmsys depmodes, do not require `-c -o' to work just yet.
1238 It is not needed by the depcomp script for these depmodes, and
1239 works around the ordering issue between the tests.
1240 Report by Peter Rosin.
1242 2009-03-09 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1244 * tests/compile2.test: Fix typo.

1257 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1259 Improve `make -n dist' and `make -n distcheck' for GNU make.
1260 Ensure that `make -n dist' and `make -n distcheck' do not change
1261 files, due to GNU make executing rules containing `$(MAKE)'.
1262 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Separate the creation of
1263 `$(distdir)/$$subdir' for `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' and the recursion
1264 into the `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' in two separate rule commands.
1265 (distcheck): Exit recursive rule early when run with `make -n',
1266 as detected by a witness file.
1267 * tests/maken.test, tests/maken2.test: New tests.
1268 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1271 2009-03-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1273 Solaris make testsuite fixes.
1274 * tests/check10.test: When a rule fails, Solaris make will
1275 output the complete command that failed; in this case the test
1276 suite driver. Adjust the test to not bogusly match lines from
1277 the driver, rather than its output.
1278 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Avoid triggering VPATH rewriting,
1279 not desirable in this test.
1280 * tests/specflg10.test: Use BUILT_SOURCES to specify an
1281 intermediate target, so Solaris make knows what to do.
1283 testsuite: SKIP compile tests if configure found no compiler.
1284 * tests/depend6.test: configure will exit 77 if AC_PROG_CC found
1285 no working compiler. Allow the test to be SKIPped in that case.
1286 * tests/postproc.test: Likewise.
1287 * tests/pr243.test: Likewise.
1288 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise.
1290 Fix maintainer-check fallout.

1315 Replace bare `automake' with `@command{automake}' or `Automake'.
1316 * doc/automake.texi: Avoid bare `automake' in the manual,
1317 replacing occurrences with `@command{automake}' when the command
1318 is meant, and `Automake' when speaking about the software
1321 2009-03-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1343 Support creating and removing symlinks.
1344 Allow for several operations in a single invocation.
1345 Add debugging features.
1346 * lib/gnupload: New options --delete, --symlink, --rmsymlink,
1347 --symlink-regex, --dry-run; support `--' to separate options and
1348 commands from files. New target download.gnu.org.ua. Expand
1349 `.gnupload' file contents before command line arguments.
1351 (dprint, mkdirective, mksymlink, upload): New functions.
1354 2009-03-03 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1356 Add depmode=msvcmsys for Microsoft Visual C++ on MSYS.
1357 * lib/depcomp [msvisualcpp]: Fork fewer processes. Filter out
1358 libtool in the preprocessor invocation (as is done in
1359 depmode=cpp). Silence compiler stderr.
1360 [msvcmsys]: New depmode as a derivative of depmode=msvisualcpp.
1361 msvcmsys transforms any backslashes into forward slashes to
1362 make the grep in depend.m4 match, instead of the "cygpath -u"
1363 that is used in msvisualcpp.

1420 expand, AM_PROG_INSTALL_SH and AM_PROG_INSTALL_STRIP.
1421 * configure: Regenerate.

1438 Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
1439 Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
1440 containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play
1441 well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
1442 as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
1443 generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
1444 This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
1445 but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
1446 * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
1447 page due to missing help2man.
1448 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true
1449 if this makefile deals with man pages.
1450 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): If %INSTALL-MAN% and %HAVE-MANS%,
1451 check that no man page in $(MANS) contains the replacement text
1453 * tests/man4.test: New test.

1467 Fix config.status depfiles failure.
1468 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Commands are
1469 again a single shell brace group, so they are correctly skipped
1470 when dependencies are turned off. The failure is noisy with
1472 * tests/depend6.test: New test.
1473 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

1751 * lib/Automake/Location.pm (serialize, deserialize): New
1752 functions. They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and
1753 to restore a Location from a thread queue. The API is
1754 unsymmetric (array vs. queue) because enqueuing data needs to
1757 Parallel automake: ordered output messages.
1758 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (%_default_options): New options
1759 `ordered' default enabled, `queue', default zero (no queue),
1760 `queue_key' default undefined.
1761 (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
1762 messages or backtrace output.
1763 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
1764 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
1765 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
1766 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
1767 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
1769 (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
1770 to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.
1771 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Unset channel option `ordered'
1772 for fatal, automake, and verb channels.
1773 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as
1775 (handle_makefiles_threaded): Create message queues for each
1776 input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
1777 ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.
1778 * tests/parallel-am.test: Also check for ordered output (in the
1779 absence of --add-missing races).

1789 factored out from main.
1790 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
1791 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
1792 of independent makefiles.

1794 thread queue to distribute handling the different makefiles.
1795 Collect $exit_code values from threads.
1796 (main): Use new functions.

1819 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (set_dir_cache_file): New function.
1820 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Instead of resetting the
1821 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
1822 using set_dir_cache_file.
1824 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
1825 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
1826 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
1827 as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
1828 enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.
1829 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (fatal, automake, verb): Set
1830 `uniq_part' to `UP_NONE' when registering these channels.

1845 instead of print, files.split instead of string.split.
1846 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Also look for python3 and
1847 phython3.0; do not look for python1.5. Use sys.stdout.write.

1865 (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
1866 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
1867 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort
1868 remaining variables in the same order as in the section
1869 `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.

1879 Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
1880 Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported

2020 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
2021 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.
2022 * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.
2024 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
2025 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
2026 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
2027 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
2028 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
2029 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
2030 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
2031 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
2032 passed to libtool in one invocation.
2033 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not
2034 reorder libraries upon installation. Remove spurious empty
2036 * tests/ltorder.test: New test.
2037 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2039 Fix -rpath arguments for nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES.
2040 * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): New hash %instsubdirs to
2041 track the dirname of nobase ltlibraries, and tack it onto the
2042 end of the -rpath argument. Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
2043 installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.
2044 * tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Expose this bug here.
2045 * tests/ltinstloc.test: New test.
2046 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2049 Man pages for automake and aclocal.
2050 * configure.ac (HELP2MAN): New substitution.
2051 * doc/Makefile.am (dist_man1_MANS, MAINTAINERCLEANFILES)
2052 (update_mans): New macros.
2053 ($(srcdir)/aclocal-$(APIVERSION).1)
2054 ($(srcdir)/automake-$(APIVERSION).1): New rules, generate
2055 man pages from the command line help with help2man.
2056 ($(srcdir)/aclocal.1, $(srcdir)/automake.1): New rules, for
2057 `.so' man page links to the versioned pages.

2079 (%DIR%SCRIPT_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
2082 Multi-file install for PROGRAMS.
2083 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Allow to install
2084 several programs with one install invocation, when not using
2085 libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
2086 create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a
2087 constant number of times in the fast path; uses awk and sed also
2088 in the default path.
2089 (%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
2092 Enhance cleaning of programs in libtool mode.
2093 * lib/am/progs.am (clean-%DIR%PROGRAMS) [?LIBTOOL?]: Fork less
2094 often, avoid removing programs twice if $(EXEEXT) is empty.
2095 * tests/nobase-libtool.test: Also test PROGRAMS, in order to
2096 exercise the code path.

2163 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2165 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
2166 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
2167 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
2168 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
2169 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
2170 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
2171 lower the limit to 40, too.
2172 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
2173 (am__base_list): New macro.
2174 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
2175 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)

2178 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2180 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
2181 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
2182 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
2183 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
2184 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
2185 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
2186 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
2187 * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function. Use it throughout,
2188 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.
2189 * tests/aclibobj.test, tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca11.test,

2402 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
2403 from output for comparison.
2405 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
2406 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
2407 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
2408 relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted

2422 Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
2423 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
2424 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
2425 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
2426 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.

2454 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
2455 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.

2499 Fix conditional rules competing with config.status rules.
2500 * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the
2501 conditional config.status rule.
2502 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
2504 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
2505 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
2506 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
2507 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.

2509 links where source and dest are equal.

2568 Check that m4 quotation is done consistently.

2583 2008-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2585 * doc/automake.texi (@ovar): New macro, from autoconf.texi.
2587 Suggestion by Eric Blake.
2589 2008-03-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2591 * lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
2593 2008-03-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2595 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Linking, Extending):
2596 Fix underfull and overfull lines, fix wording a bit.

2602 (fetch): Pull config.guess and config.sub from git repo now.
2604 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
2605 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.
2606 (xsystem_hint): New function, like xsystem but allows to pass

2611 Implement the `notrans_' prefix for untransformed manpages.
2612 * automake.in (handle_man_pages), lib/am/mans.am: Implement
2613 notrans_ prefix for MANS primary and rework dependencies for
2614 install-man%SECTION%; use only vars defined in Makefile.am.

2616 Document notrans_ prefix.
2618 * tests/notrans.test: New test.

2621 * automake.in (handle_man_pages): Reindent, for next patch.
2623 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2625 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
2626 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
2627 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
2628 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
2629 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
2630 a problem, it should be revisited.
2632 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
2633 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
2634 files keyed by their target directory.
2635 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
2636 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
2637 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
2638 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
2639 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
2640 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
2641 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
2642 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
2644 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
2645 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
2646 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
2647 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
2648 a list for byte compilation after installation.
2649 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
2650 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
2651 to install multiple files at once.
2653 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
2655 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2657 Require unreleased Autoconf for fixed AC_PROG_INSTALL.
2658 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump AC_PREREQ to 2.61-341,
2660 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
2661 failure early and provide a sensible error message.
2663 Drop usage of obsolete macros AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
2664 * tests/ansi4.test: Drop AC_OBJEXT and AC_EXEEXT.

2685 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
2687 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2689 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
2690 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
2691 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
2692 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
2693 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
2694 setting MAKE to test gmake.

2785 Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.
2786 * tests/obsolete.test: Check for presence of autoupdate. Apparently,
2787 FreeBSD may install the other Autoconf programs without a version
2788 suffix but not autoupdate.
2790 Fix Heisenbug trying to unset a sometimes-not-set variable.

2805 texinfo.tex is searched in the same directory as the Makefile.am
2806 that needs it. Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
2807 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and

3369 2006-12-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3371 Simplify install-sh and its test. This shouldn't change any behavior.
3372 (This patch is a subset of the patch proposed in
3373 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-10/msg00077.html>.)
3374 * lib/install-sh (usage): Use usual GNU style.
3375 (dstarg): Rename as...
3376 (dst_arg): this for consistency.
3377 Simplify quoting of assignments.
3379 Don't use '\' to continue commands: && suffices.
3380 Remove useless "continue" in the argument processing,
3381 and factor the shifts.
3382 * tests/defs.in: Some improvements to make it set -e clean.
3383 Use the traditional ":" trick to protect loops from being empty.
3384 Remove an empty straightforward piece of code prepared to define
3385 additional variables.
3386 Use test instead of [], for consistency.
3387 * tests/install2.test: Use set -e, to simplify code.

3396 amhello, to prevent gmake from invoking make with MAKEFLAGS
3397 it does not understand.

3564 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
3565 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
3566 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
3567 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
3568 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
3569 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in

3786 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
3787 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
3788 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be

3791 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
3792 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
3793 Report from Bas Wijnen.
3794 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
3795 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3797 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
3798 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
3799 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
3800 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
3801 if we cannot create this file.
3802 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
3803 (unlink_tmp): New function.

3806 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3808 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
3809 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
3810 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
3811 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct

3814 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and

3820 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
3821 can install only one file at a time.
3822 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
3823 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
3824 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
3825 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
3826 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
3827 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
3828 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
3829 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
3830 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
3831 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
3832 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
3833 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
3834 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
3835 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
3836 intermediate directories; this is safer.
3837 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
3838 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
3839 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
3840 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
3841 traditional implementations.

3857 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
3858 computed by config.status.
3859 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
3860 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
3863 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
3864 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

3876 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
3878 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3879 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3881 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
3882 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
3883 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
3884 Fix some comment typos.
3886 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3888 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
3889 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
3890 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
3892 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
3895 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
3896 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
3897 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
3898 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
3899 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
3901 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
3903 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for

3908 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
3909 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
3910 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
3913 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
3915 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
3917 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
3919 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
3920 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
3921 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
3923 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3925 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
3926 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
3927 directory component.

3952 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
3953 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
3955 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3957 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
3958 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
3959 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
3960 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
3961 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
3962 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
3963 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
3965 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3967 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
3969 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
3970 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
3972 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
3973 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
3975 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
3976 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
3977 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
3978 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
3979 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
3981 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
3983 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
3985 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
3986 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
3987 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
3990 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
3991 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
3994 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
3995 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
3996 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.

4001 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
4003 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
4006 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
4007 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
4010 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
4011 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
4012 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
4014 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
4015 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
4016 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
4017 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
4019 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
4020 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
4021 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
4023 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
4024 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
4025 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
4028 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
4029 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
4030 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
4033 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
4034 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
4035 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
4038 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
4039 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
4040 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
4041 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
4043 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
4044 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
4045 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
4046 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
4047 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
4048 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.

4061 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
4062 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
4063 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
4064 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
4066 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4068 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
4069 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
4070 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
4071 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
4072 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
4073 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
4074 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
4075 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

4358 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (transform_variable_recursively): Typo
4361 2005-10-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4363 * ChangeLog.03, automake.in, tests/overrid.test: Typos.
4365 2005-10-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4367 * tests/nobase.test: Exercise previous patch.
4369 2005-10-03 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com> (tiny change)
4371 * lib/am/distdir.am: Remove $(SHELL) when calling install_sh
4372 * m4/strip.m4: Ditto.
4373 * m4/install-sh.m4: Add $(SHELL) to the definition of install_sh
4375 2005-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4377 * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
4378 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
4379 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
4380 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
4381 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
4383 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
4385 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4387 * automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.
4389 2005-09-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4391 * lib/am/ltlib.am (uninstall-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Do not put
4392 shell in verbose mode.
4394 2005-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4396 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (variable_value): Do not read the TRUE
4397 value of a conditionally defined variable.
4398 Report from Juergen Leising.
4400 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
4401 $(MAKE) invocations.
4402 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4404 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
4405 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
4406 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
4407 Report from Stepan Kasal.
4409 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
4410 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
4412 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4414 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
4415 the $(infodir) exists.
4417 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4419 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
4421 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4423 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
4424 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
4426 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
4427 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
4428 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
4429 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
4430 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
4431 for missing files that can be installed.
4432 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
4434 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4436 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
4437 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
4439 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
4440 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
4441 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
4443 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4445 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
4446 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
4447 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
4448 if the usual candidates show up.
4450 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4452 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
4454 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4456 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream
4459 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4461 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
4462 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
4464 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4466 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
4467 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
4469 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
4471 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
4472 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
4475 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4477 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
4478 fix an underful hbox.
4479 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
4480 New upstream versions.
4482 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4484 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
4486 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4488 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
4489 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
4490 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
4491 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
4492 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
4494 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
4496 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
4497 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
4498 Report from Harald Dunkel.
4500 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
4502 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
4503 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
4504 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
4505 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
4507 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4509 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
4510 `mkdir -p' does not work.
4511 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
4512 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
4513 Report from Noah Friedman.
4515 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
4516 Report from Karl Berry.
4518 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4519 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4521 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
4522 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
4523 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
4525 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4527 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
4528 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
4529 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
4530 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
4531 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
4532 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
4533 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
4534 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
4535 Report from Ed Hartnett.
4537 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4539 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
4541 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
4542 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
4543 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
4544 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
4545 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
4547 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4549 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4550 Fix redirections in previous patch.
4552 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4554 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4555 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
4556 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
4557 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
4558 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
4559 Report from Bob Proulx.
4561 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
4563 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
4565 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
4567 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4569 Fix PR automake/461:
4570 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
4571 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
4572 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
4573 Report from Tom Tromey.
