3 parallel-tests: fix recheck* targets for non-GNU make.
4 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Override AM_MAKEFLAGS
5 to portably transport the TEST_LOGS settings through the
6 recursive `make' invocations. Fixes parallel-tests9.test
7 failure with Solaris make.
8 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Also ensure that the test
9 summary is correct for `recheck'.
10 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
12 2009-04-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
14 Avoid racy depmodes with universal builds.
15 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): If universal builds are used,
17 * lib/depcomp: Ignore `-arch' argument for makedepend depmode.
18 Report by Bruno Haible, analysis by Bruno Haible, Peter O'Gorman,
21 2009-04-21 Fabian Alenius <fabian.alenius@gmail.com> (tiny change)
23 Fix link to autotools tutorial.
24 * doc/automake.texi (Autotools Introduction): Fix broken link.
27 2009-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
29 testsuite: minor w32 fixes.
30 * tests/depend5.test: Don't fail if the system or file system
31 cannot handle weird characters, instead just try a few.
32 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Really wait until the serial test
33 has finished, before letting the cleanup trap do its work.
34 Report by Bruno Haible.
36 Avoid nonportable `./FILE' instead of `FILE' in test.
37 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not use `$(top_builddir)/sub/libname.la'
38 in *_LDADD entry if `$(top_builddir)' is `.'. Fixes test failure
39 with parallel NetBSD make.
41 Detect make `include' style also with parallel non-GNU make.
42 Parallel NetBSD make outputs `--- $target ---' messages,
43 parallel HP-UX make outputs `Making target"$target"'. Just
44 ignore all additional output for the include test.
45 * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Ignore additional output
46 produced by `make' to relax `include' style detection.
48 manual: add FAQ `Debugging Make Rules'.
49 * doc/automake.texi (Debugging Make Rules): New FAQ section.
50 (Top, FAQ): Adjust menus, and capitalization of the description
51 of the `Hard-Coded Install Paths' node.
52 (Multiple Outputs): Add comment to restore font-lock for vim.
53 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
55 Let XFile::lock warn and fail with parallel non-GNU make, too.
56 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Also match `-j' for parallel BSD
57 make, and `-P' for parallel HP-UX make.
59 Fix AM_PROG_VALAC version requirement detection.
60 * m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Remove `Vala ' from valac
61 --version string before comparing versions.
62 * tests/vala2.test: Require version 0.7.0 for the test.
63 Fixes failures of vala2.test and vala3.test with older valac.
65 Correctly treat all assignments with bogus trailing comments.
66 Before this patch, automake would silently fail to diagnose and
67 to copy into the output those variable assignments which are
68 preceded by a comment, and end in backslash newline comment.
69 * automake.in (read_am_file): When determining whether an
70 escaped newline followed by a comment is an error, correctly use
71 the parser state, not the contents of a saved comment, which
72 could still be carried over from a comment before an assignment.
74 * tests/commen11.test: New test.
75 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
78 2009-04-14 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
80 manual: improve markup: itemize list in `Extending'.
81 * doc/automake.texi (Extending): Use `@item's for user override
84 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
86 bin_PROGRAMS = $(EXTRA_PROGRAMS) should work.
87 * automake.in (am_install_var): For `PROGRAMS' primary, strip
88 `$(EXEEXT)' here already, so the name uniquifying works even
89 when we look at names repeatedly, with inconsistent executable
90 extension; through variable references, we might have added
91 the extension ourselves earlier.
92 (handle_programs): No need to strip `$(EXEEXT)' here any more.
93 * tests/extra8.test: New test.
94 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
96 Report by Daniel Richard G.

110 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Fix typo. Declare vala
111 support as "initial".
112 * NEWS: Likewise, declare vala support as "initial".

126 * tests/vala4.test: Bump copyright years.
127 * tests/vala5.test: New test for per-target flags, expected to fail.
128 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
131 2008-10-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
133 Minor fixups for Vala support.
134 * automake.in: $(VALAFLAGS) comes after $(AM_VALAFLAGS).
135 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Add some references,
136 document AM_VALAFLAGS, streamline a bit.
137 * lib/am/vala.am: Copyright blurb.
138 * m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Rewrite using AS_VERSION_COMPARE.

147 2008-10-09 Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>
149 * automake.in: Support Vala in non-recursive builds. Make sure
150 foo_VALAFLAGS really use used. Inject --library switch when building
152 * doc/automake.texi, NEWS: Document Vala support.
153 * m4/vala.m4: Rename AC_PROG_VALAC to AM_PROG_VALAC.
154 * tests/Makefile.am: Additional Vala tests.
155 * tests/vala.test: Also test VALAFLAGS support.
156 * tests/vala1.test: Test non-recursive Vala support.
157 * tests/vala2.test: Test _PKGNAME variables.
158 * tests/vala3.test: Test compiling of C code generated by Vala.
160 2008-10-09 Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>
162 Initial support for the vala programming language.
163 * automake.in: Add %known_libraries, lang_vala_rewrite,
164 lang_vala_finish and lang_vala_target_hook to support the Vala
165 programming language. Register Vala language hooks.
166 * lib/am/vala.am: Empty rules file to prevent creation of depend2
167 based rules for Vala code.
168 * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Add vala.am.
169 * m4/vala.m4: Provide AC_PROG_VALAC for detecting the Vala compiler.
170 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add vala.m4.
171 * tests/vala.test: Test Vala support.
172 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
174 2009-04-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
176 testsuite: do not fail on systems without read permissions.
177 * tests/instfail-info.test: Do not use the `non-root'
178 requirement for testing whether files may be made unreadable;
179 instead use `test -r' and skip the test if that still works.
180 * tests/instfail-java.test: Likewise.
181 * tests/instfail-libtool.test: Likewise.
182 * tests/instfail.test: Likewise.

184 * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
185 * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
186 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Likewise.
188 testsuite: parallel make fixes.
189 This patch fixes a couple of testsuite bugs exposed with
190 `MAKE=make\ -jN make check'.
191 * tests/libtoo10.test: Do not run `clean' in same $MAKE
192 invocation as `all check'. Fixes test failure with parallel
194 * tests/nobase.test: Be sure to create a directory before
195 creating files in it. Fixes test failure with MAKE=`make -jN'
196 for NetBSD make. This issue is hidden with parallel GNU make
197 due to its parallel breadth first update order.
198 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Skip if $MAKE contains `-j',
199 GNU make will use the environment variable $MAKE for recursion
200 and thus run in parallel even if `$MAKE -j1' was used on the
201 command line in the test. Also, after running the test proper,
202 wait long enough so that background jobs have finished and there
203 are no open files left when the cleanup code runs.
205 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
207 silent-rules reorganization, --enable-silent-rules switch.
208 This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default
209 verbosity. Since configure now needs to know whether the
210 `silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be
211 set within AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, or with a new AM_SILENT_RULES macro
212 but not any more through AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or the automake
213 command line option `--silent-rules'.
214 * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define the default verbose
215 variable in terms of `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'.
216 (handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.
217 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'. If seen,
218 enable global `silent-rules' option.
219 (usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'.
220 (parse_arguments): Do not accept `--silent-rules'.
221 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Overhaul. Document
222 AM_SILENT_RULES, --enable-silent-rules, --disable-silent-rules,
223 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY. Show an example for user-added variables
224 for less verbose output.
225 (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'.
226 (Public Macros): Document `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
228 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
229 `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac.
230 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If the `silent-rules' option
231 was enabled, require `AM_SILENT_RULES'; move AM_BACKSLASH
232 initialization to ...
233 * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): ... this new file, new macro.
234 Deal with `--enable-silent-rules' switch; define
235 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.
236 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add silent.m4.
237 * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use
239 * tests/flavor.test: Remove test for `--silent-rules'.
240 * tests/silent.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
241 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; use `--enable-silent-rules'.
242 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
243 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
244 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
245 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
246 * tests/silent6.test: Likewise. Test `AM_SILENT_RULES' as well
247 as `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([silent-rules])' instead of
249 * tests/silent7.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
250 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; ensure the latter is rejected.
251 Test combinations of --enable-silent-rules and
252 --disable-silent-rules with `make V=0' and `make V=1'.
253 Suggestion for configure-time switch by Bob Friesenhahn.
255 manual: Add note about parallelism and tests ordering.
256 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
257 Dependencies between test logs work for tests with known
258 extensions only. Hint that tests should be prepared to be run
261 Fix maintainer-check failure.
262 * tests/suffix13.test: Use Exit not exit.
264 2009-04-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
266 parallel-tests: more testsuite exposure.
267 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Also test overriding TEST_LOGS and
270 parallel-tests: let VERBOSE=yes output appear before summary.
271 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): In `VERBOSE=yes' mode,
272 output contents of `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' before, rather than after
273 the test suite summary. This ensures that the email address
274 appears near the end of the output; also, the log file already
275 starts with a result summary anyway.
277 parallel-tests: `clean recheck' should not rerun all tests.
278 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-html): Do not rerun all
279 tests if `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' does not exist.
280 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Adjust recheck test.
281 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Adjust recheck-html test.
283 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
285 2009-04-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
286 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
288 parallel-tests: Fix driver for nonempty executable extension.
289 * automake.in (handle_tests): New substitution `%am__EXEEXT%',
290 defined as 'FALSE' for non-generic rules, or if no programs are
291 built at all. Otherwise, define it as configure conditional.
292 * lib/am/check2.am [%am__EXEEXT%] (%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): New
293 conditional generic rule.
294 * m4/init.m4: Hook an m4_provide of `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' onto
295 Autoconf's `_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT' macro.
296 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' has been provided
297 at `AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE' time, then introduce a conditional
298 `am__EXEEXT', defined to true iff `$EXEEXT' is nonempty.
299 * tests/check5.test: Only match `_EXEEXT_[1-9]' here, to avoid
300 false positives stemming from `@am__EXEEXT_TRUE@'.
303 2009-04-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
305 Fix a couple of $(EXEEXT)-related testsuite failure.
306 * tests/check8.test: Allow executable extensions in test suite
308 * tests/check9.test: Add `$(EXEEXT)' manually to @substituted@
311 * NEWS: Update for last patch.

317 Fix renamed objects with subdir-objects and other languages.
318 * automake.in: Fixed bug when building with renamed objects
319 and foreign languages.
320 * tests/suffix13.test: New test.
321 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
323 Reports by Florian Briegel and Stepan Kasal.
325 2009-04-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
327 Do not remove texinfo outputs upon mostlyclean.
328 * lib/am/texinfos.am: New substitutions %MOSTLYCLEAN%,
330 (clean-aminfo): New target, remove %TEXICLEAN% if nonemtpy,
331 declare phony. Hook this target to ...
332 (clean-am): ... this and ...
333 (?CYGNUS?clean-info): ... this.
334 (maintainer-clean-aminfo): Remove %MAINTCLEAN% if nonempty,
336 (mostlyclean-aminfo): Remove %MOSTLYCLEAN%.
337 * automake.in (handle_texinfo_helper): Return three arrays
338 $MOSTLYCLEAN, $TEXICLEAN, $MAINTCLEAN, instead of one array.
339 Only put LaTeX helper files in $MOSTLYCLEAN, the rest in
341 (handle_texinfo): Accept these, chop off extra newline, and
342 substitute them in `texinfos.am'.
344 * tests/txinfo33.test: New test.
345 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
346 Report by Bruno Haible.
348 2009-04-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
350 testsuite: unset TESTS, TEST_LOGS, to avoid interference.
351 * tests/defs.in: Unset TESTS, TEST_LOGS.
353 testsuite: generate $(parallel_tests) just when needed.
354 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): No need to list
355 $(parallel_tests) here, they can be generated as needed during
356 the test run, following our recommendation in the manual.
358 Remove superfluous line from recheck recheck-html.
359 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Remove superfluous
360 line, introduced bogusly in last commit.

363 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
365 parallel-tests: redo check-html, recheck, recheck-html.
366 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-am): Remove.
367 (recheck-TESTS): Rename to ...
368 (recheck): ... this and rewrite, factored ...
369 (recheck-html): ... with this rule. Pass TEST_LOGS rather than
370 RECHECK_LOGS to `check' and `check-html', respectively, to avoid
371 running outdated tests. Invoking the public macros ensures
372 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time. Do not output errors
373 for tests that were not run yet. If the testsuite has not run
374 at all, run all tests.
375 (check-html): Run `check' target, not `check-TESTS', to ensure
376 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time.
377 (.PHONY, .MAKE, AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Adjust contents.
378 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Expose the check-html and
380 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Expose the recheck issues.
381 Bugs in previous version pointed out by Akim, who already had
382 them fixed in his original version.
384 2009-04-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
386 parallel-tests: LOG_COMPILER for tests without known extension.
387 * automake.in (handle_tests): If we don't match a known
388 extension, define `LOG_COMPILER' as `$(LOG_COMPILE)
389 $(AM_LOG_FLAGS) $(LOG_FLAGS)' and use it as %COMPILE% in check2.
390 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
391 Document it. In the examples, suggest using the AM_*LOG_FLAGS
392 flags in Makefile.am rather than the variables without `AM_'
394 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (AM_PL_LOG_FLAGS): Renamed from
395 (PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... this variable, intended for the user.
396 * tests/parallel-tests7.test: Extend test.
398 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
400 More node renaming in the manual.
401 * doc/automake.texi (Top): Adjust menu to ...

417 existing directories D to aclocal `-I D' flags, as aclocal
418 errors on nonexisting directories.
419 Report and analysis by Andreas Schwab.

429 Avoid test failure due to paranoid TAR_OPTIONS envvar setting.
430 * tests/txinfo18.test: Don't let a TAR_OPTIONS=--keep-old-files
431 environment variable setting cause test failure. Fixed in
434 Use more common spelling in diagnostic: s/canonic/canonical/.
435 * automake.in (check_typos): s/canonic/canonical/.

448 Reorganize nodes in the manual.
449 Avoid texinfo sectioning commands without nodes, by either
450 introducing new nodes along with menus, or using headings
451 commands. Adjust all references.
452 * doc/automake.texi: Throughout the manual, adjust references to
453 new or changed node names. Rename `non-configured' to
454 `unconfigured', capitalize headings and section names better.

525 parallel-tests: New target recheck-html.
526 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (recheck-html): New phony,
527 recursive target. Factor common implementation with
529 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document recheck-html.
530 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Test it.

533 Akim Demaille <akim@lrde.epita.fr>
535 parallel-tests: redo lazy checking: recheck and RECHECK_LOGS.
536 Replace the LAZY_TEST_SUITE API with a simpler yet more powerful
537 one: RECHECK_LOGS specifies those tests which are to be removed
538 in any case before testing. Provide a `recheck' convenience
539 target to set RECHECK_LOGS to all failed and unexpectedly passed
540 tests. Document several ways to limit the set of tests run.
541 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (RECHECK_LOGS): New variable,
542 default to $(TESTS_LOGS).
543 (check-TESTS): Remove $(RECHECK_LOGS) not $(TEST_LOGS). Drop use
545 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Do not output note about lazy rerun, as
546 LAZY_TEST_SUITE is gone.
547 (recheck): New target.
548 (recheck-am, recheck-TESTS): New internal targets.
549 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Update @vindex for TESTS and
550 TEST_LOGS. Replace description of LAZY_TEST_SUITE with a list
551 of ways the set of tests to be run can be modified. Document
552 RECHECK_LOGS and the recheck target.
553 * tests/defs.in: Unset RECHECK_LOGS not LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
554 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Adjust, replacing LAZY_TEST_SUITE
555 with corresponding RECHECK_LOGS settings.
556 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: New tests.
557 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
558 Suggestion and different implementation by Akim Demaille.
560 parallel-tests: do not mark check-TESTS as `.MAKE'.
561 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Remove check-TESTS.
562 This rule removes files, which should not be executed with BSD
565 parallel-tests: warn about $(srcdir), $(top_srcdir) in TESTS.
566 * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn about portability issue
567 concerning generated TESTS files listed with a `$(srcdir)/'
568 or `$(top_srcdir)/' prefix.
569 * doc/automake.texi (TESTS): Document this issue. Mention that
570 the parallel-tests driver is still experimental.
571 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: New test.
572 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
574 check-html: Always create HTML output, note conversion failure.
575 * lib/am/check.am (check-html): Create `$(TEST_SUITE_HTML)' in
576 any case. Exit unsuccessfully if HTML creation failed.
577 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Amend test to expose this.
579 2009-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
581 parallel-tests: per-extension test driver: <EXT>_LOG_COMPILER.
582 For test files with extension <ext>, introduce the internal
583 variable <EXT>_LOG_COMPILE, which expands to
584 $(<EXT>_LOG_COMPILER) $(AM_<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS) $(<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS).
585 Turn also the lib/Automake/tests testsuite over to the new
587 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document `EXT_LOG_COMPILER' and
589 * lib/am/check2.am: Insert `%COMPILE%' right before test.
590 * automake.in (handle_tests): Substitute `COMPILE' for check2,
591 empty for tests without extension, and `$(ext_LOG_COMPILE)' for
592 extension `ext'. In the latter case, define it from the public
594 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use `parallel-test' globally.
595 * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove, not needed here
597 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Split ...
598 (PL_LOG_COMPILER, PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... into these new variables.
599 (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): New variable, initialize to `.pl'.
600 * tests/parallel-tests7.test: New test.
601 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
602 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
604 2009-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
606 parallel-tests: also record logs of SKIPped tests.
607 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Record
609 Suggested by Jim Meyering.
611 Minor optimization in parallel-tests text box creation.
612 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL-TESTS] (am__text_box): Use only one
613 awk invocation, rather than several tools, to create a text box.
614 Suggestion from Akim Demaille.
616 2009-03-29 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

635 all phony, all listed in ...
636 (syntax_check_rules): ... this new variable and split out from ...
637 (maintainer-check): ... this rule. Depend on $(syntax_check_rules).
639 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Do not complain if DESTDIR is
640 passed as argument to `make'.
642 * doc/automake.texi (Cross-Compilation): Fix underfull hbox.
644 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
645 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub,
646 lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
648 2009-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
650 manual: minor cleanups.
651 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Adjust spacing in example.
652 (Mixing Fortran 77 With C and C++): Drop unneeded @page breaks.
654 Sane (un)install for empty directory variables.
655 This patch fixes all install and uninstall rules to behave
656 sanely when $(wheredir) is the empty string, but $(where_HOW) is
657 nonempty, for all kinds of values of `where' and `HOW'.
658 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%, uninstall-%DIR%%PRIMARY%):
659 Do not touch the install tree if the corresponding directory variable
660 $(%NDIR%dir) is empty.

681 tests/instdir-texi.test: New tests.
682 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
684 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
686 Ensure that empty directory variables work with empty content variables.
687 This test ensures that, if both $(wheredir) and $(where_HOW) are
688 the empty string, then the `install' and `uninstall' rules behave
689 sanely, for several directory variables `wheredir' and several
691 * tests/instdir.test: New test.
692 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

700 Report by John R. Cary.
702 2009-03-22 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
703 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
706 DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
707 When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
708 (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
709 thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
710 distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
711 need to be made writable recursively. Since file modes should
712 not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'.
713 * lib/am/distdir.am: Handle this situation.
714 * tests/distdir.test: Extend test to those cases.
716 Report by Peter Breitenlohner.
718 2009-03-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
720 Fix a documentation typo.
721 * doc/automake.texi (Headers): Clarify the note telling when it's
722 better not to use noinst_HEADERS.
724 2009-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
726 Define AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS, for gnulib's GNUmakefile.
727 This new macro lists all public targets which invoke `make'
728 recursively, or depend on targets which do so. It allows to
729 prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
730 passed on the `make' command line.
731 * lib/am/distdir.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): New
733 * lib/am/subdirs.am (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Likewise.
734 * lib/am/tags.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS):
737 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
739 Fix LAZY_TEST_SUITE handling and $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) recreation.
740 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Expand `$(TEST_LOGS)' only once
741 in the rule command, for systems with low command line limits.
742 Remove $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) even in LAZY_TEST_SUITE mode.
743 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Always recreate $(TEST_SUITE_LOG). Mention
744 lazy mode in the summary output.
745 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Test LAZY_TEST_SUITE semantics.
747 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
749 Fix parallel-tests with empty $(TESTS) for BSD make.
750 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Ignore
751 empty line stemming from empty $(TEST_LOGS), to avoid counting
753 (check-TESTS): If `$(TESTS)' is empty, override TEST_LOGS to be
754 empty, rather than `.log', for BSD make.
755 * tests/parallel-tests6.test: New test.
756 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
758 Mark check-html and check-TESTS as recursive for BSD make.
759 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Add check-TESTS
760 and check-html prerequisites.
762 Match XFAIL_TESTS correctly with Solaris make.
763 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS]: VPATH rewriting may have
764 changed test names, so srcdir needs to be taken into account
765 explicitly when checking against the list of tests expected
766 to fail. Fixes spurious FAILures from XFAIL_TESTS.
768 Use append mode to capture parallel test output.
769 * tests/lisp8.test: Use append mode for output from `make -j',
770 to avoid dropped lines.
771 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
773 parallel-tests: Fix summary output.
774 * lib/am/check.am (am__text_box): Fix unportable sed script,
775 replacing `\n' in the right hand side of an `s' command with
776 a literal newline. Kudos to Bruno Haible for the newline idea.
777 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Update test to expose this.
779 2009-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
781 Overhaul of tests/README.
782 * tests/README: General overhaul. Mention parallel test suite
783 execution, the test-suite.log file; document `Exit' vs. `exit',
784 `defs' vs. `defs-p', the naming of `parallel-tests' tests.

802 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
804 parallel-tests: Ensure backward-compatible semantics.
805 For each test in Automake's test suite that uses TESTS, generate
806 an identical one that uses the `parallel-tests' option, for
807 coverage of backward-compatible functionality.
808 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: New file, generates distributed
809 Makefile.am snippet tests/parallel-tests.am to list all tests
810 that use the TESTS interface but not yet the `parallel-tests'
811 option, with names mangled to use suffix `-p.test', in ...
812 (parallel_tests): ... this new make macro.
813 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/parallel-tests.am)
814 ($(parallel_tests), defs-p): New rules.
815 (TESTS): Add check11.test and $(parallel_tests).
816 (check_SCRIPTS): Add defs-p, $(parallel_tests).
817 (check-clean-local): Remove `defs-p'.
818 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute gen-parallel-tests.
819 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): New variable, remove $(parallel_tests).
820 * bootstrap: Generate parallel-tests.am.
821 * tests/check8.test: Check for circular dependencies in rules.
822 * tests/check11.test: New test, check that SKIPs are not counted
824 * tests/defs.in: Unset DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS, LAZY_TEST_SUITE,
825 VERBOSE, so the tests are not influenced by the way our test

833 Parallel test execution: new option `parallel-tests'.
834 * automake.in (handle_tests): Set new conditional PARALLEL_TESTS
835 when reading check.am. Handle option `parallel-tests' and all
836 its new semantics. Define macros TEST_SUFFIXES, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
837 TEST_SUITE_HTML, TEST_LOGS, TEST_LOGS_TMP, suffix rules if
838 applicable, and per-target rules for other tests. Add all log
839 files to %clean_files at the `MOSTLY_CLEAN' level.
840 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
842 * lib/am/check.am [!PARALLEL_TESTS] (check-TESTS): Move existing
843 testsuite driver under this new conditional.

858 * automake.in (define_verbose_var, verbose_flag)
859 (define_verbose_tagvar, handle_options, handle_languages)
860 (handle_configure, parse_arguments): Rename the `silent' option
861 to `silent-rules', so it coincides with the `--silent-rules'
862 command line option; adjust all code and comments.

872 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
874 `silent' mode unconditionally overrides portability-recursive.
875 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Don't handle a global `silent'
876 option here; instead, ...
877 (handle_options): ... handle the "normal" `silent' option here.
878 Override `portability-recursive' here, at the last point we deal
879 with options, instead ...
880 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): ... of here.
881 * tests/silent6.test: Replace unportable make snippet, remove
882 FIXME note, add more test cases of options passed in the various
885 Drop extra line from compile rules when `silent' is not used.
886 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Only use the `%VERBOSE%
887 @AM_BACKSLASH@' extra line if ?VERBOSE?.
888 Report by Ralf Corsepius.

915 dispatch variables are internal details and begin with
917 * automake.in (verbose_var): Update comment.
918 (verbose_private_var): New function. Order functions so that
919 ones not needed outside this section are listed first.
920 (verbose_dispatch): Remove, no need to factor this.

1007 Ignore warnings from autom4te about Libtool macros.
1008 * tests/ltinstloc.test: When testing for presence of warnings,
1009 filter out any that are not interesting for this test, e.g.,
1010 warnings about installed files or about bogusly named cache
1011 variables in libtool.m4, emitted by recent Autoconf when older

1016 Relax depcomp test for MSVC to not require minuso.
1017 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): When checking the msvisualcpp
1018 and msvcmsys depmodes, do not require `-c -o' to work just yet.
1019 It is not needed by the depcomp script for these depmodes, and
1020 works around the ordering issue between the tests.
1021 Report by Peter Rosin.
1023 2009-03-09 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1025 * tests/compile2.test: Fix typo.

1031 `tags-recursive' and `ctags-recursive' if appropriate.
1032 (handle_all): Likewise for `all'.
1033 (do_check_merge_target): Likewise for `check-am' and `check'.

1040 Improve `make -n dist' and `make -n distcheck' for GNU make.
1041 Ensure that `make -n dist' and `make -n distcheck' do not change
1042 files, due to GNU make executing rules containing `$(MAKE)'.
1043 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Separate the creation of
1044 `$(distdir)/$$subdir' for `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' and the recursion
1045 into the `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' in two separate rule commands.
1046 (distcheck): Exit recursive rule early when run with `make -n',
1047 as detected by a witness file.

1052 2009-03-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1054 Solaris make testsuite fixes.
1055 * tests/check10.test: When a rule fails, Solaris make will
1056 output the complete command that failed; in this case the test
1057 suite driver. Adjust the test to not bogusly match lines from
1058 the driver, rather than its output.
1059 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Avoid triggering VPATH rewriting,
1060 not desirable in this test.
1061 * tests/specflg10.test: Use BUILT_SOURCES to specify an
1062 intermediate target, so Solaris make knows what to do.
1064 testsuite: SKIP compile tests if configure found no compiler.
1065 * tests/depend6.test: configure will exit 77 if AC_PROG_CC found
1066 no working compiler. Allow the test to be SKIPped in that case.

1127 * lib/gnupload: New options --delete, --symlink, --rmsymlink,
1128 --symlink-regex, --dry-run; support `--' to separate options and
1129 commands from files. New target download.gnu.org.ua. Expand
1130 `.gnupload' file contents before command line arguments.
1132 (dprint, mkdirective, mksymlink, upload): New functions.
1135 2009-03-03 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1137 Add depmode=msvcmsys for Microsoft Visual C++ on MSYS.
1138 * lib/depcomp [msvisualcpp]: Fork fewer processes. Filter out
1139 libtool in the preprocessor invocation (as is done in
1140 depmode=cpp). Silence compiler stderr.
1141 [msvcmsys]: New depmode as a derivative of depmode=msvisualcpp.
1142 msvcmsys transforms any backslashes into forward slashes to
1143 make the grep in depend.m4 match, instead of the "cygpath -u"
1144 that is used in msvisualcpp.

1158 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE, QUEUE_CONF_FILE, QUEUE_LOCATION)

1217 2008-12-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1219 Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
1220 Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
1221 containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play
1222 well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
1223 as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
1224 generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
1225 This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
1226 but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
1227 * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
1228 page due to missing help2man.
1229 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true
1230 if this makefile deals with man pages.
1231 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): If %INSTALL-MAN% and %HAVE-MANS%,
1232 check that no man page in $(MANS) contains the replacement text

1248 Fix config.status depfiles failure.
1249 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Commands are
1250 again a single shell brace group, so they are correctly skipped
1251 when dependencies are turned off. The failure is noisy with
1253 * tests/depend6.test: New test.
1254 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

1286 flag" becomes "a flag"), correct minor punctuation errors, etc.
1288 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs, Python, Rebuilding):
1289 Replace 'configure' with '@command{configure}' as appropriate.

1527 * tests/parallel-am3.test: New test, test absence of races with
1528 concurrent same-file installs stemming from --add-missing.
1529 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1531 Implement serialization for Locations.
1532 * lib/Automake/Location.pm (serialize, deserialize): New
1533 functions. They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and
1534 to restore a Location from a thread queue. The API is
1535 unsymmetric (array vs. queue) because enqueuing data needs to
1538 Parallel automake: ordered output messages.
1539 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (%_default_options): New options
1540 `ordered' default enabled, `queue', default zero (no queue),
1541 `queue_key' default undefined.
1542 (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
1543 messages or backtrace output.
1544 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
1545 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
1546 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
1547 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
1548 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
1550 (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
1551 to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.
1552 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Unset channel option `ordered'
1553 for fatal, automake, and verb channels.
1554 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as
1556 (handle_makefiles_threaded): Create message queues for each
1557 input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
1558 ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.
1559 * tests/parallel-am.test: Also check for ordered output (in the
1560 absence of --add-missing races).
1561 * tests/parallel-am2.test: New test; check for ordered output of
1562 warning and (regular) error messages.
1563 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1565 Parallel automake execution: AUTOMAKE_JOBS.
1566 * lib/Automake/Config.in (perl_threads): New global.
1567 * automake.in: Use it. If the perl supports interpreter-based
1568 threading, then use `threads' and `Thread::Queue'.
1569 (handle_makefile, handle_makefiles_serial): New functions,
1570 factored out from main.
1571 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
1572 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
1573 of independent makefiles.
1574 (handle_makefiles_threaded): New function. Spawn threads, use
1575 thread queue to distribute handling the different makefiles.
1576 Collect $exit_code values from threads.
1577 (main): Use new functions.
1578 * aclocal.in: No threads here.
1579 * configure.ac: Substitute PERL_THREADS; enabled with perl >=
1580 5.7.2 and when ithreads are available.
1581 * bootstrap (dosubst): Likewise.

1584 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use `Automake::Config' and
1586 (verb): Prepend thread ID (tid) to verbose messages.
1587 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (msg): Before exiting, flush stderr,
1588 needed for worker threads.
1589 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Also
1590 include the build tree path, so Config.pm is found.
1591 * tests/parallel-am.test: New test.
1592 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1593 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake): Document AUTOMAKE_JOBS.

1599 Minor file checking optimization: set_dir_cache_file.
1600 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (set_dir_cache_file): New function.
1601 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Instead of resetting the
1602 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
1603 using set_dir_cache_file.
1605 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
1606 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
1607 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
1608 as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
1609 enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.
1610 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (fatal, automake, verb): Set
1611 `uniq_part' to `UP_NONE' when registering these channels.
1613 Fix 'config.status --file=... depfiles' with new Autoconf.
1614 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Eval
1615 $CONFIG_STATUS contents if we detect the quoting used by
1616 Autoconf 2.62 and newer for --file=.
1617 * tests/depend5.test: New test.

1624 Support for Python 3.0, drop support for pre-2.0.
1625 * lib/py-compile: Do not import string; use sys.stdout.write
1626 instead of print, files.split instead of string.split.
1627 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Also look for python3 and
1628 phython3.0; do not look for python1.5. Use sys.stdout.write.
1629 (AM_PYTHON_CHECK_VERSION): Do not use string; adjust to xrange
1630 removal in Python 3.0, and changed semantics of map.

1632 Python versions mentioned in the manual, using 2.5 everywhere.
1633 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

1637 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (@chain): Drop unused variable.
1639 Cleanup of per-input global variables in automake.in.
1640 * automake.in ($output_vars, $output_all, $output_header)
1641 ($output_rules, $output_trailer): Fix comment, and sort
1642 declarations in the order they will appear in the output.
1643 ($all_target): Unused variable, remove.
1644 (Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,
1645 clarify that %am_file_cache is not reset.
1646 (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
1647 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
1648 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort
1649 remaining variables in the same order as in the section
1650 `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.
1652 Let stderr output end up on fd 2 in testsuite.
1653 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Output recorded stderr on file
1655 * tests/getopt.test: Fix erroneous multiple redirection,
1656 uncovered by above change.

1660 Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
1661 Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported
1662 through thread creation. This patch fixes that by recreating
1663 the hashes upon thread creation with a CLONE special subroutine,
1664 which is automatically invoked by new enough Perl versions.
1665 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (CLONE): New special
1666 subroutine to fix self hashes upon thread creation.
1667 * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: New, sister test to
1668 Condition.pl, but spawns a new threads after each creation of a

1710 test generates DVI and/or PDF output (through distcheck).

1800 * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
1801 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
1802 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.
1803 * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.
1805 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
1806 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
1807 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
1808 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
1809 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
1810 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
1811 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
1812 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
1813 passed to libtool in one invocation.
1814 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not

1823 end of the -rpath argument. Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
1824 installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.

1946 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
1947 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
1948 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
1949 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
1950 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
1951 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
1952 lower the limit to 40, too.

1965 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
1966 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
1967 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.

2180 2008-09-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2182 Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
2183 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
2184 from output for comparison.
2186 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
2187 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
2188 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
2189 relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted
2191 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fix current check for
2192 $(am__cd) within backquotes a bit. Add new check for `cd' to a

2203 Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
2204 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
2205 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
2206 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
2207 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.
2209 2008-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2211 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).
2212 * m4/maintainer.m4 (AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Allow for an optional
2213 first argument of `enable' or `disable', setting the default.

2231 2008-08-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2233 Fix rebuilding of removed subdir/Makefile.in files.
2234 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%) [?!TOPDIR_P?]: If
2235 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
2236 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.
2237 * tests/remake6.test, tests/remake7.test: New tests.
2238 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2239 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2240 Report and initial patch by Ilya N. Golubev.
2242 2008-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2244 * tests/notrans.test: Use multiple man files of each type.
2246 Fix maintainer-check failures.
2247 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Drop TAB.
2248 * tests/missing6.test: Use 'rm -f'.
2250 2008-08-19 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org> (tiny patch)

2264 2008-06-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2266 Introduce macro $(am__mv) to facilitate 'libtool --dry-run'.
2267 * lib/am/depend.am (am__mv): New macro, set to 'mv -f'.
2268 * lib/am/depend2.am: Use throughout to move the temporary
2269 depfile *.Tpo to its final destination *.Po.
2271 2008-06-18 Rafael Espindola <espindola@google.com>
2273 * lib/config-ml.in: don't handle --enable-shared and --enable-static.

2281 * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the
2282 conditional config.status rule.
2283 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
2285 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
2286 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
2287 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
2288 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
2289 (handle_configure) <CONFIG_CLEAN_VPATH_FILES>: New variable, for
2290 links where source and dest are equal.
2291 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Remove, if build tree not
2293 * tests/conflnk4.test: New test.
2294 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2297 2008-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2355 (AM_COND_IF): New macro, implements conditionals.
2356 * m4/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2357 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Optional, Conditionals):
2358 Document AM_COND_IF.
2360 * tests/cond39.test, tests/cond40.test, tests/cond41.test,
2361 tests/cond42.test, tests/cond43.test: New tests.
2362 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2364 2008-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2366 * doc/automake.texi (@ovar): New macro, from autoconf.texi.
2368 Suggestion by Eric Blake.
2370 2008-03-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2372 * lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
2374 2008-03-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2376 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Linking, Extending):
2377 Fix underfull and overfull lines, fix wording a bit.
2379 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from
2382 * Makefile.am (WGET_SV_GIT_CF): New.
2383 (fetch): Pull config.guess and config.sub from git repo now.
2385 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
2386 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.
2387 (xsystem_hint): New function, like xsystem but allows to pass
2390 2008-03-11 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
2392 Implement the `notrans_' prefix for untransformed manpages.
2393 * automake.in (handle_man_pages), lib/am/mans.am: Implement
2394 notrans_ prefix for MANS primary and rework dependencies for
2395 install-man%SECTION%; use only vars defined in Makefile.am.
2396 * doc/automake.texi (Renaming, Uniform, Man pages):
2397 Document notrans_ prefix.
2399 * tests/notrans.test: New test.
2400 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2402 * automake.in (handle_man_pages): Reindent, for next patch.
2404 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2406 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
2407 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
2408 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
2409 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
2410 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
2411 a problem, it should be revisited.
2413 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
2414 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
2415 files keyed by their target directory.
2416 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
2417 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
2418 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
2419 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
2420 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
2421 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
2422 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
2423 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
2425 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
2426 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
2427 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
2428 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
2429 a list for byte compilation after installation.
2430 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
2431 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
2432 to install multiple files at once.
2434 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
2436 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2438 Require unreleased Autoconf for fixed AC_PROG_INSTALL.
2439 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump AC_PREREQ to 2.61-341,
2441 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
2442 failure early and provide a sensible error message.
2444 Drop usage of obsolete macros AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
2445 * tests/ansi4.test: Drop AC_OBJEXT and AC_EXEEXT.

2466 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
2468 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2470 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
2471 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
2472 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
2473 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
2474 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
2475 setting MAKE to test gmake.
2476 Report by Patrick Welche.

2493 2008-02-05 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
2495 * doc/automake.texi (CVS): configure.ac will appear newer, not
2496 older, than configure. Use `lexical' instead of `alphabetical'.

2564 2008-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2566 Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.
2567 * tests/obsolete.test: Check for presence of autoupdate. Apparently,
2568 FreeBSD may install the other Autoconf programs without a version
2569 suffix but not autoupdate.
2571 Fix Heisenbug trying to unset a sometimes-not-set variable.
2572 * tests/check5.test: Do not error out upon `unset TESTS' due to

2582 resistant to different quoting styles of $1.
2584 Clarify texinfo.tex and TEXINFO_TEX semantics.
2585 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Clarify that by default,
2586 texinfo.tex is searched in the same directory as the Makefile.am
2587 that needs it. Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
2588 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and
2590 * tests/txinfo22.test: Ensure TEXINFO_TEX is not distributed.

2652 tests if the absolute source or build tree name contain whitespace.
2654 Modify some tests for absolute trees containing whitespace.
2655 * tests/missing.test: Use "./missing" instead of "`pwd`/missing".
2656 * tests/missing2.test: Likewise.

2658 references to myyacc.sh and mylex.sh.
2659 * tests/multlib.test: Likewise for mycc.
2660 * tests/txinfo26.test: Skip if `pwd` contains whitespace, as
2661 an absolute --srcdir does not work there.
2663 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config-ml.in, lib/config.guess,
2664 lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
2666 Fix the distdir target to cope with spaces in absolute file names.
2667 * lib/am/distdir.am: Quote all instances of $(distdir) and
2668 $(top_distdir). They could contain white space, coming from
2669 a toplevel package bootstrapped with an older Automake version.

2672 (distdir): Use it to compute relative paths to distdir and
2673 top_distdir for enclosed subpackages.
2674 Also, quote $(distuninstallcheck_dir).
2675 * lib/am/texinfos.am: Likewise, quote $(distdir).

2751 Use %KEY?TRUE:FALSE%.
2752 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__strip_dir): Assign the result to f
2753 to be more alike am__vpath_adj.

2779 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2007-10/msg00479.html>.
2781 Fix signal handling in aclocal.
2782 * aclocal.in (unlink_tmp): If invoked by a signal, note so
2783 in verbose mode. Reinstall default signal handler and reraise,
2784 to transport the interrupt information.
2786 2007-11-13 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
2788 Fix color test failure on dumb (and other) terminals.

2806 Run each test in a process-private subdirectory.
2807 * tests/defs.in: Employ a trap to clean up at the end of the
2808 test in case the test succeeded. This needs to be revisited
2809 because we would like to keep the output of XPASSing tests.
2810 Also, note when we were interrupted by a signal. Code taken
2811 from Autoconf's _AC_INIT_PREPARE.
2812 If $keep_testdirs is set, keep them even for successful tests.
2813 * tests/Makefile.am (check-clean-local): New target. Remove all
2814 tests subdirs, but also make them writable first. The latter
2815 was already needed without per-test subdirs.
2816 (distclean-local): Depend upon check-clean-local.
2817 * tests/Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2818 * tests/.cvsignore, tests/.gitignore: Adjust.

2823 keep uniquified list without multiple adjacent spaces.
2824 * doc/automake.texi (Program variables): List include paths
2826 * NEWS: Mention 1.10 regression.
2827 * tests/stdinc.test: New test.

3368 2006-10-09 Andreas Köhler <andi5.py@gmx.net> (tiny change)
3370 For PR automake/505:
3371 * lib/am/configure.am (am__CONFIG_DISTCLEAN_FILES):
3372 Fix typo: `config.status.lineno', not `configure.status.lineno'.
3374 2006-09-05 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3376 * NEWS: Mention that `install-sh' needs executable permissions.
3377 * tests/nobase.test: Adjust.
3378 Report by Patrick Welche.
3380 2006-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3382 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Fix matching of XFAIL_TESTS
3383 against currently running test for the first and last element
3384 of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
3385 on these words, too.
3386 * tests/check6.test: Update.
3388 2006-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3390 For PR automake/501:
3391 * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%):
3392 Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
3393 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
3394 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
3395 This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.
3397 2006-08-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3399 * automake.in: Fortran 77 and Fortran should require variables
3400 F77 resp. FC to be defined, and suggest the respective Autoconf
3402 * tests/fort1.test: New test.
3403 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
3405 * tests/ext.test: Add extensions f95, F90, F95.
3407 2006-08-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3409 For PR automake/500:
3410 * automake.in (handle_compile) <$default_includes>: Do not output
3411 the same -I twice. Use @am__isrc@ instead of ` -I$(srcdir)'.
3412 * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
3413 non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
3414 * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
3415 and non-VPATH builds.
3417 2006-08-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3419 * doc/automake.texi, lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix some typos.

3447 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Typo in previous patch.
3449 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fine-tune the "Unescaped @"
3450 check so it doesn't complain about the '@ 's in node "Standard
3451 Directory Variables".
3453 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/texinfo.tex, lib/config.sub: New
3456 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Prefix mkdir_p with
3457 $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.
3459 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3461 * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
3462 ylwrap. Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
3463 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
3464 (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always
3466 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs, Yacc and Lex): Update the
3467 documentation of ylwrap.
3468 * tests/lex.test, tests/lex4.test, tests/mmodely.test,
3469 tests/yacc.test, tests/yacc2.test, tests/yacc3.test,

3478 lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
3479 lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
3480 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
3481 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
3482 mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
3483 * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
3486 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
3487 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to
3488 -I m4. Running aclocal during the rebuild rules will fail
3489 if the default acdir does not exist.
3491 * NEWS, configure.ac, m4/init.m4, m4/lispdir.m4, m4/mkdirp.m4:
3492 Require Autoconf 2.60 instead of some intermediate development
3495 * doc/automake.texi (Standard Directory Variables): Fix multitable

3504 (Standard Directory Variables): Clarify that this list is not
3506 (DESTDIR): Fix example.
3508 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

3528 * automake.in: Register "Unified Parallel C" as language.
3529 (lang_upc_rewrite): New function.
3530 (resolve_linker): Consider UPCLINK.
3531 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest
3532 AM_PROG_UPC for UPC and UPCFLAGS.
3533 * m4/upc.m4: New file.
3534 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Add UPC case.
3535 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add upc.m4.
3536 * doc/automake.texi (Unified Parallel C Support): New node.
3537 (Public macros): Mention AM_PROG_UPC.
3538 (Program and Library Variables, Flag Variables Ordering):
3540 * tests/upc.test, tests/upc2.test, tests/upc3.test: New file.
3541 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
3542 * tests/ext.test: Also test upc files.
3544 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3546 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
3548 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
3549 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
3550 other built scripts.
3552 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
3553 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
3554 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
3555 * tests/init.test: New file.
3556 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3558 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3560 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
3561 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
3562 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
3563 `make distdir' instead.
3565 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3567 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
3568 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
3569 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
3571 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
3572 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
3573 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
3574 Report from Bas Wijnen.
3575 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
3576 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3578 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
3579 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
3580 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
3581 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
3582 if we cannot create this file.
3583 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
3584 (unlink_tmp): New function.
3585 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
3587 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3589 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
3590 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
3591 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
3592 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
3594 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
3595 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
3597 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
3599 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3601 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
3602 can install only one file at a time.
3603 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
3604 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
3605 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
3606 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
3607 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
3608 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
3609 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
3610 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
3611 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
3612 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
3613 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
3614 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
3615 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
3616 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
3617 intermediate directories; this is safer.
3618 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
3619 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
3620 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
3621 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
3622 traditional implementations.
3624 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3626 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
3628 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3630 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
3631 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
3632 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
3634 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3635 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3637 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
3638 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
3639 computed by config.status.
3640 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
3641 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
3644 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
3645 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3647 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
3648 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
3649 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
3651 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3653 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
3655 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3657 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
3659 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3660 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3662 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
3663 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
3664 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
3665 Fix some comment typos.
3667 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3669 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
3670 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
3671 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
3673 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
3676 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
3677 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
3678 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
3679 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
3680 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
3682 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
3684 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
3686 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
3687 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
3689 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
3690 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
3691 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
3694 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
3696 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
3698 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
3700 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
3701 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
3702 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
3704 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3706 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
3707 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
3708 directory component.
3709 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
3711 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
3712 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
3713 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
3715 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3717 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
3718 New upstream versions.
3720 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3722 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
3723 repository, they use SVN now.
3725 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
3727 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
3728 savannah.nongnu.org.
3730 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3732 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
3733 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
3734 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
3736 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3738 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
3739 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
3740 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
3741 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
3742 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
3743 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
3744 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
3746 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3748 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
3750 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
3751 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
3753 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
3754 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
3756 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
3757 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
3758 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
3759 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
3760 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
3762 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
3764 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
3766 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
3767 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
3768 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
3771 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
3772 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
3775 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
3776 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
3777 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
3779 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3781 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
3782 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
3784 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
3787 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
3788 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
3791 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
3792 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
3793 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
3795 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
3796 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
3797 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
3798 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
3800 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
3801 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
3802 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
3804 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
3805 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
3806 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
3809 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
3810 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
3811 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
3814 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
3815 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
3816 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
3819 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
3820 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
3821 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
3822 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
3824 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
3825 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
3826 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
3827 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
3828 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
3829 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
3832 2006-04-26 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org> (tiny change)
3834 * doc/automake.texi (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Fix typo.
3836 2006-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3838 * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname.
3840 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3842 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
3843 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
3844 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
3845 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
3847 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3849 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.

4126 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>

4131 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4133 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',

4159 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
4160 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
4161 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it

4164 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.

4226 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
4227 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
4228 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
4229 if the usual candidates show up.

4285 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
4286 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.

4308 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
4309 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
4310 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper

4313 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
4314 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
4315 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
4316 Report from Ed Hartnett.

4320 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
4322 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
4323 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
4324 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
4325 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
4326 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.

4348 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

4622 2005-03-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4624 * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Use xmldir instead of htmldir as
