3 Fix and complete copyright notices in Makefile.am files.
4 * Makefile.am: Use single-`#' comment for copyright notice, so
5 that it also appears in the generated Makefile.in file.
6 * doc/Makefile.am: Likewise.
7 * doc/amhello/Makefile.am: Likewise.
8 * doc/amhello/src/Makefile.am: Likewise.
9 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am: Likewise.
10 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am: Likewise.
11 * lib/Makefile.am: Likewise.
12 * lib/am/Makefile.am: Likewise.
13 * m4/Makefile.am: Likewise.
14 * tests/Makefile.am: Add copyright notice.
15 Report of missing copyright notice by Stefano Lattarini.
17 2009-12-27 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
19 Fixed typo in Makefile.am (extra semicolon removed)
20 * Makefile.am (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Removed an extra
21 semicolon in target's rules, which prevented a stdout redirection
24 2009-12-21 Julien Danjou <julien@danjou.info> (tiny change)
26 Add support for newer python version
27 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python3.1 to
28 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST.
30 2009-12-21 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
32 mention ncftpput in gnupload --help
33 * lib/gnupload: Mention ncftpput in `--help' output.
36 2009-12-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
38 Post-release version bump.
39 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.11.1a.
41 2009-12-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
43 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.11.1.
44 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.10.3 and 1.11.1.
46 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub:
49 Revert "Avoid sleeping for one second most of the time in sanity check."
50 Not sleeping in the configure sanity check breaks several tests
51 on systems that provide sub-second time stamps, when only some
52 of the tools support them, some truncate them, and other round
54 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Do sleep for a second.
55 Report by Peter Breitenlohner and others.
59 2009-12-05 Antonio Diaz Diaz <ant_diaz@teleline.es>
61 Replace unlzma, gunzip, bunzip2 with pack tool -d invocation.
62 * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Use lzma -d, gzip -d, bzip2 -d,
63 instead of the respective un$tool invocation, to avoid depending
67 2009-12-05 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
69 Use $DJDIR rather than $DJGPP to detect running on DJGPP.
70 * automake.in (Language): Use $ENV{'DJDIR'} for the
71 $ENV{'SHELL'} override.
72 * bootstrap: Use $DJDIR for setting BOOTSTRAP_SHELL, to fix
73 bootstrapping under MinGW when $DJGPP has been set.
75 Do not rely on Perl symlink status, for MSYS perl.
76 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Ensure presence of
77 symlink target file; MSYS perl symlink doesn't return an error
78 status when the file could not be created (copied, on this
79 system). Fixes symlink.test failure.
81 2009-12-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
82 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
84 Avoid Solaris sh `set -e' bug in vala4.test.
85 * tests/vala4.test: New variable $cwd, holding the full path of the
86 current directory. Use it instead of `pwd` command substitution,
87 to avoid Heirloom/Solaris Sh bug with `set -e'.
89 2009-11-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
91 do not put world-writable directories in distribution tarballs
92 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Do not make all directories
93 group- or world-writable. Instead, use 755.
94 * tests/subpkg4.test (test-distdir-is-readable): Check for new,
95 more restricted permissions.
97 2009-11-29 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
99 Rewrite `gnupload --help' examples.
100 * lib/gnupload: Use GNU style version numbers, a generic package
101 name, and more useful examples.
103 2009-11-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
105 avoid a warning from perl-5.11
106 * lib/Automake/Wrap.pm (_tab_length): Remove useless use of tr's
109 2009-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
111 Distribute the Automake bootstrap script.
112 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.

116 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
118 Don't let an envvar setting of "$fail" cause build failure.
119 Without this change, in a project using an automake-generated
120 Makefile, "make fail=anything" would fail inappropriately,
121 due to the `test -z "$$fail"' at the end of this emitted rule:
122 * lib/am/subdirs.am ($(RECURSIVE_TARGETS)): Initialize "fail=" to keep
123 an envvar setting of that variable from causing unwarranted failure.
124 ($(RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS)): Likewise.
125 * tests/subdir10.test: New test.
126 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
128 2009-10-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
130 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
131 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub,
132 lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
134 Doc and comment typos.
135 * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): Fix typo in comment.
136 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
137 * tests/lisp5.test: Likewise.
138 * doc/automake.texi (Usage of Conditionals): Fix typo.
140 2009-10-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
142 Fix race condition in werror2.test due to sanity sleep change.
143 * tests/werror2.test: Generate Makefile.in before configure so
144 that a Makefile.am update after configure has run is guaranteed
145 to be newer than Makefile.in.
146 * tests/subdir5.test: Document why this test does not need to be
148 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise.
150 Improve description of the various *LINK variables.
151 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): _LINK also
152 receives libraries to link against. _LINK may be generated.
153 (Program Variables): Document reasons when per-target _LINK is
154 used instead of LINK.
155 (How the Linker is Chosen): Document how a per-target _LINK
156 variable and per-target link flags override linker selection.
158 Report by Dave Korn against gcc/libstdc++-v3.
160 Allow variable override of, rather than by, silent variables.
161 When overriding variables, check the VAR_SILENT status of the
162 old condition, not the new one: we allow non-silent overrides
163 of silent variables (these do not hit ordering bugs in the
164 automake output), but there is no use case for doing so the
165 other way round. Fixes conditional overrides of variables
166 annotated AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE in configure.ac.
167 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_check_ambiguous_condition): Check
168 for VAR_SILENT in $ambig_cond not $cond.
169 * tests/cond44.test, tests/cond45.test: New tests, analogous to
170 cond23.test and cond24.test.
171 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
172 Spotted originally in binutils/bfd.
174 Fix `make clean check' for the Automake package.
175 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add `.' before `tests',
176 so that Config.pm is built first.
178 Fix in-tree `recheck' after failed test that runs `check'.
179 If a test like pr401b-p.test fails for some reason, a `make
180 recheck' would cause another reason for failure because it sets
181 AM_MAKEFLAGS which gets propagated into the test and causes its
182 `make check' to fail.
183 * tests/defs.in: Also unset AM_MAKEFLAGS.
185 2009-10-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
187 Updated code enabling Bourne-compatibility in test scripts.
188 * tests/defs.in: updated the code enabling Bourne-compatibility
189 mode in the shell (now it's copied from autoconf 2.64).
191 Avoid leaking TEST_LOG_COMPILER in environment of test scripts.
192 * tests/defs.in: Unset variable `TEST_LOG_COMPILER'.
194 2009-10-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
196 Testsuite: do not use `chmod -R' when cleaning up.
197 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Do not use `chmod -R' on
198 the test directories, as that may change or try to change the mode
199 of installed files: the test directory may contain symlinks to
200 ltmain.sh files from a Libtool installation, and Solaris `chmod -R'
201 touches symlink targets. Instead, use the cleanup strategy used
202 in distdir.am (which is also employed in tests/defs.in).
204 2009-10-06 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
205 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
207 Fix 'compile' script to not call mv when target equals source.
208 * lib/compile: Don't attempt to move the generated file to its
209 target destination when it is already at the target destination.
210 Avoids an mv failure with subdir-objects.
211 * tests/ccnoco3.test: New test.
212 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
214 2009-10-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> (tiny change)
216 Fix recommended way to run automake's test scripts with Zsh.
217 * tests/README (Supported shells): Changed the recommended way
218 to run automake's test scripts with Zsh. Now we tell to use
219 the Zsh's command line option `-o no_function_argzero', not
220 `--no-function-argzero', since the latter does not work with
223 2009-09-18 Peter Johansson <trojkan@gmail.com> (tiny change)
225 Fix link to "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" paper.
226 * doc/automake.texi (Alternative): Fix broken URL.
228 2009-09-11 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org> (tiny patch)
230 Fix outdated reference to sh-utils in the manual.
231 * doc/automake.texi (Options): The reference to `sh-utils'
232 should be to `coreutils'.
234 2009-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
236 Avoid sleeping for one second most of the time in sanity check.
237 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Try sanity check first without
238 sleeping for a second, and only if that failed, sleep and try
239 again, to avoid the delay in the common case of a configure
240 script that is older than a second, or a system with sub-second
241 time stamp granularity.
242 Report and different patch by Jim Meyering.
244 2009-09-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> (tiny change)
246 tests/README: warn about zsh incompatibilities.
247 * tests/README (User interface, Getting details from failures):
248 Explicitly state that every test is a "shell script", not just
249 a "script", and that it's run by `/bin/sh' by default.
250 * tests/README (User interface, Supported shells): New subsection,
251 telling about expected portability of the automake test scripts,
252 describing a zsh incompatibility (w.r.t. $0), and a workaround to
253 it (with the `--no-function-argzero' option).
255 testsuite: fix a minor glitch.
256 * tests/defs.in (exit trap): Use `$me', not `$as_me', as the
257 name of the current test (used in error messages).
260 2009-07-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
262 manual: fix a trivial grammar error.
263 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Fix grammar.
265 2009-06-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
267 AM_PROG_GCJ: use AC_CHECK_TOOLS for gcj, for cross compilation.
268 * m4/gcj.m4 (AM_PROG_GCJ): Use AC_CHECK_TOOLS, rather than
269 AC_CHECK_PROGS, when searching for `gcj'.
271 Report by Jack Kelly.
273 2009-05-24 Jack Kelly <endgame.dos@gmail.com> (tiny change)
274 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
276 AM_PROG_GCJ currently fails to define OBJEXT and EXEEXT.
277 * tests/gcj6.test: New test.
278 * tests/Makefile.am: Update; mark gcj6.test as XFAIL.
281 2009-05-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
283 parallel-tests: avoid GNU make 3.80 substitution bug.
284 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (check-TESTS): Remove any
285 `.log' entries from `$(TEST_LOGS)' even if the list is nonempty,
286 to work around GNU make 3.80 substitution reference issue with
287 trailing white space in the variable.
288 * tests/parallel-tests10.test: New test.
289 * tests/parallel-tests6.test: Update comment.
290 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
292 Report by Bob Friesenhahn.
294 2009-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
296 testsuite: unset installation directory variables.
297 * tests/defs.in: Before test execution, be sure to unset all
298 installation directory variables, so they cannot have an effect
299 on a `make -e install' command within a test.
300 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
302 testsuite: do not change the mode of installed Libtool files.
303 * tests/defs.in: Do not use `chmod -R' on the test directory, as
304 that may change or try to change the mode of installed files:
305 the test directory may contain symlinks to ltmain.sh files from
306 a Libtool installation, and Solaris `chmod -R' touches symlink
307 targets. Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in distdir.am.
309 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
311 testsuite: do not fail in cleanup code.
312 * tests/defs.in: Turn off errexit in the cleanup trap, to avoid
313 a test failure due to a nonzero command.
315 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
317 2009-05-23 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com>
319 python: do not install in system directories on Darwin 9.
320 On Darwin 9, get_python_lib returns a path below `/Library/Python'
321 regardless of the `prefix' argument it was passed, causing `make
322 install' to target the system directories regardless of `--prefix'
323 argument used. Work around this Darwin bug by ignoring the result
324 of get_python_lib if it points outside of the passed prefix, and
325 the prefix was not a system directory.
326 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): If the prefix does not match the
327 initial portion of the pythondir returned by get_python_lib, then
328 ignore it unless the configured prefix is `/usr' or starts with
329 `/System'. Fixes instmany-python.test failure on Mac OS X 10.5.7.
332 2009-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
334 Clarify how to enable `silent-rules' and other global options.
335 * doc/automake.texi (Options): When introducing options, be more
336 careful to note that not all of them can be specified in
337 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS statements, and that some do not make sense in
338 subdirectories. Note more prominently that `silent-rules' can
339 only be specified in configure.ac.
340 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Improve error
341 message for `silent-rules', `tar-v7', `tar-ustar', `tar-pax'
342 options specified in Makefile.am files.
343 Report by Bruno Haible.

357 Report by Peter O'Gorman.
359 2009-05-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
361 testsuite: also try `jot' as `seq' replacement.
362 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Try BSD `jot' before resorting to a
363 slow but portable shell loop.
364 * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
365 * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
366 Suggestion by Peter O'Gorman.
368 Fix test failure when pkg.m4 is not found, only pkg-config.
369 * tests/vala5.test: Update comment, this test is not expected to
370 fail any more. Require valac version 0.7.0. Skip if configure
371 fails, could be due to unexpanded PKG_CHECK_MODULES or too old
373 Report by Simon Josefsson.

377 Post-release version bump.
378 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.11.0a.
380 2009-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
383 * configure.ac: Bump version to 1.11.
384 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.11. Remove line
387 Fix maintainer-check failures.
388 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Use `$(am__cd)' instead
390 * tests/vala2.test: Use `rm -f' instead of `rm'.
392 Revert Automake license to GPLv2+.
393 Automake will move to GPLv3+ once the Exception statement has
394 been rewritten to use the new GPLv3 exception language. This
395 change does not impact the COPYING file that may be installed
396 by `automake --add-missing'.
397 * COPYING: Revert to GPLv2. All uses changed.
400 Rewrite NEWS for 1.11.
401 * NEWS: Rewrite, merging 1.10b and 1.10c entries.
403 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
404 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from
407 Update release statistics, improve release-stats rule.
408 * Makefile.am (release-stats): Output stderr of pstops in
409 addition to catching it, for better debugging.
410 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.10.2.
412 Cope with parallel BSD make -jN semantics.
413 When BSD `make -jN' is used without `-B' which enables backwards
414 compatible semantics, it may reuse the same shell for several
415 commands within a rule; so ensure we do not leave it in a
416 different directory, nor `exit 0' early in a multi-command rule.
417 * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): After running `distcleancheck',
418 change back to original working directory.
419 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_HIN%): Run autoheader in a
421 * lib/am/mans.am (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Do not `exit 0' early
422 in a rule that consists of several shell invocations. Parallel
423 NetBSD `make -jN' without `-B' will use only one shell for all
424 commands, but won't respawn one after `exit 0'. Fixes
425 notrans.test failure.
426 * tests/makej2.test: New test.
427 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
430 * lib/am/install.am: Fix typo.

433 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
435 Let AM_PATH_PYTHON honor python's idea about the site directory.
436 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): When computing pythondir and
437 pyexecdir, pass the expanded prefix resp. exec_prefix as `prefix'
438 to get_python_lib, so python can determine the name of the site
439 directory depending on the install location. Afterwards, replace
440 the directory names with the unexpanded values of $PYTHON_PREFIX
441 resp. $PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX again, to allow override according to
442 the documentation. Fixes site directory computation for Debian
443 and Ubuntu (`dist-packages' for a prefix of `/usr' or `/usr/local',
444 `site-packages' elsewhere).
445 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

449 Vala: for now, require GNU make.
450 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): GNU make is currently
451 required for Vala sources.
452 * tests/vala2.test, tests/vala3.test, tests/vala5.test: Require
455 2009-05-17 Jürg Billeter <j@bitron.ch>
457 Vala: Use $(srcdir) in rebuild rules.
458 valac is always run in srcdir as the generated files are distributed.
459 So srcdir needs to be taken into account in the rebuild rules to not
460 wrongly trigger a rebuild in the wrong directory.
461 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Rebuild files in
463 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules from VPATH build.
465 Vala: Add and test rebuild rules for generated header and vapi files.
466 valac will generate additional files when using, for example, -H in
467 VALAFLAGS. We need to recognize these options and add appropriate
468 rebuild rules to fix parallel build.
469 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Recognize -H, -h,
470 --header, --internal-header, --vapi, --internal-api, --gir flags
471 to valac and rebuild rules for generated headers; distribute
472 and maintainer-clean them.
473 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules.

476 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
478 Vala: Fix build when using per-target VALAFLAGS.
479 This does not yet implement full per-target support for VALAFLAGS,
480 however, this change at least fixes building when there is only one
481 target per source file, which is the most common situation.
482 * automake.in: Remove `VALAFLAGS' from `flags' in language struct.
483 (lang_vala_finish_target): Handle `*_VALAFLAGS rewriting' manually
484 here; check `VALAFLAGS' user variables.
485 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove vala5.test.
486 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Document per-target flag
489 2009-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
492 Document some formatting restrictions for Makefile.am files.
493 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation, Usage of Conditionals):
494 Variable assignments should not be indented by TABs, rule commands
495 should. Conditional keyword statements should not be indented.
499 2009-05-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
501 Fix copyright years in *.am files.
502 * lib/am/check.am, lib/am/check2.am, lib/am/distdir.am,
503 lib/am/program.am, lib/am/tags.am: Fix copyright years.
505 distdir: avoid duplicate `find' traversal with subpackages.
506 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir) [%?SUBDIRS%]: When recursing, set
508 [%?TOPDIR_P%]: When `$(am__skip_mode_fix)' is set, avoid tree
510 * tests/subpkg4.test: New test, to ensure that we still walk the
511 whole tree while fixing permissions. We don't ensure it is
513 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
515 Disable test cleanup trap with OSF1/Tru64 sh.
516 * configure.ac: Test whether /bin/sh has working 'set -e'
517 in conjunction with an exit trap. Set $am_cv_sh_errexit_works
518 accordingly, substitute sh_errexit_works, and warn about
519 leftover test directories with broken shells like Tru64 /bin/sh.
520 * tests/defs.in: Do not install any traps with broken shells.
522 2009-05-02 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
523 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
525 Recommend *-local hooks without commands, for extensibility.
526 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Show how to write the clean-local
527 extension with separate phony target.
528 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Practice what we preach
529 by marking this phony. For consistency, rename from ...
530 (check-clean-local): ... this.

569 Prompted by report from John Calcote.
571 parallel-tests: fix recheck* targets for non-GNU make.
572 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Override AM_MAKEFLAGS
573 to portably transport the TEST_LOGS settings through the
574 recursive `make' invocations. Fixes parallel-tests9.test
575 failure with Solaris make.
576 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Also ensure that the test
577 summary is correct for `recheck'.
578 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
580 2009-04-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
582 Avoid racy depmodes with universal builds.
583 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): If universal builds are used,

595 2009-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
597 testsuite: minor w32 fixes.
598 * tests/depend5.test: Don't fail if the system or file system
599 cannot handle weird characters, instead just try a few.
600 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Really wait until the serial test
601 has finished, before letting the cleanup trap do its work.
602 Report by Bruno Haible.
604 Avoid nonportable `./FILE' instead of `FILE' in test.
605 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not use `$(top_builddir)/sub/libname.la'
606 in *_LDADD entry if `$(top_builddir)' is `.'. Fixes test failure
607 with parallel NetBSD make.
609 Detect make `include' style also with parallel non-GNU make.
610 Parallel NetBSD make outputs `--- $target ---' messages,
611 parallel HP-UX make outputs `Making target"$target"'. Just
612 ignore all additional output for the include test.
613 * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Ignore additional output
614 produced by `make' to relax `include' style detection.
616 manual: add FAQ `Debugging Make Rules'.
617 * doc/automake.texi (Debugging Make Rules): New FAQ section.
618 (Top, FAQ): Adjust menus, and capitalization of the description
619 of the `Hard-Coded Install Paths' node.
620 (Multiple Outputs): Add comment to restore font-lock for vim.
621 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
623 Let XFile::lock warn and fail with parallel non-GNU make, too.
624 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Also match `-j' for parallel BSD
625 make, and `-P' for parallel HP-UX make.
627 Fix AM_PROG_VALAC version requirement detection.
628 * m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Remove `Vala ' from valac
629 --version string before comparing versions.
630 * tests/vala2.test: Require version 0.7.0 for the test.
631 Fixes failures of vala2.test and vala3.test with older valac.
633 Correctly treat all assignments with bogus trailing comments.
634 Before this patch, automake would silently fail to diagnose and
635 to copy into the output those variable assignments which are
636 preceded by a comment, and end in backslash newline comment.
637 * automake.in (read_am_file): When determining whether an
638 escaped newline followed by a comment is an error, correctly use
639 the parser state, not the contents of a saved comment, which
640 could still be carried over from a comment before an assignment.
642 * tests/commen11.test: New test.
643 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
644 Report by Karl Berry.

648 manual: improve markup: itemize list in `Extending'.
649 * doc/automake.texi (Extending): Use `@item's for user override
652 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
654 bin_PROGRAMS = $(EXTRA_PROGRAMS) should work.
655 * automake.in (am_install_var): For `PROGRAMS' primary, strip
656 `$(EXEEXT)' here already, so the name uniquifying works even
657 when we look at names repeatedly, with inconsistent executable
658 extension; through variable references, we might have added
659 the extension ourselves earlier.
660 (handle_programs): No need to strip `$(EXEEXT)' here any more.
661 * tests/extra8.test: New test.
662 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

694 * tests/vala4.test: Bump copyright years.
695 * tests/vala5.test: New test for per-target flags, expected to fail.
696 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
699 2008-10-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
701 Minor fixups for Vala support.

715 2008-10-09 Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>
717 * automake.in: Support Vala in non-recursive builds. Make sure
718 foo_VALAFLAGS really use used. Inject --library switch when building
720 * doc/automake.texi, NEWS: Document Vala support.
721 * m4/vala.m4: Rename AC_PROG_VALAC to AM_PROG_VALAC.
722 * tests/Makefile.am: Additional Vala tests.
723 * tests/vala.test: Also test VALAFLAGS support.
724 * tests/vala1.test: Test non-recursive Vala support.
725 * tests/vala2.test: Test _PKGNAME variables.
726 * tests/vala3.test: Test compiling of C code generated by Vala.
728 2008-10-09 Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>
730 Initial support for the vala programming language.
731 * automake.in: Add %known_libraries, lang_vala_rewrite,
732 lang_vala_finish and lang_vala_target_hook to support the Vala
733 programming language. Register Vala language hooks.
734 * lib/am/vala.am: Empty rules file to prevent creation of depend2
735 based rules for Vala code.
736 * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Add vala.am.
737 * m4/vala.m4: Provide AC_PROG_VALAC for detecting the Vala compiler.
738 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add vala.m4.
739 * tests/vala.test: Test Vala support.
740 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
742 2009-04-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
744 testsuite: do not fail on systems without read permissions.
745 * tests/instfail-info.test: Do not use the `non-root'
746 requirement for testing whether files may be made unreadable;
747 instead use `test -r' and skip the test if that still works.
748 * tests/instfail-java.test: Likewise.
749 * tests/instfail-libtool.test: Likewise.
750 * tests/instfail.test: Likewise.
751 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Likewise.
752 * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
753 * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
754 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Likewise.
756 testsuite: parallel make fixes.
757 This patch fixes a couple of testsuite bugs exposed with
758 `MAKE=make\ -jN make check'.
759 * tests/libtoo10.test: Do not run `clean' in same $MAKE
760 invocation as `all check'. Fixes test failure with parallel
762 * tests/nobase.test: Be sure to create a directory before
763 creating files in it. Fixes test failure with MAKE=`make -jN'
764 for NetBSD make. This issue is hidden with parallel GNU make
765 due to its parallel breadth first update order.
766 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Skip if $MAKE contains `-j',
767 GNU make will use the environment variable $MAKE for recursion
768 and thus run in parallel even if `$MAKE -j1' was used on the
769 command line in the test. Also, after running the test proper,
770 wait long enough so that background jobs have finished and there
771 are no open files left when the cleanup code runs.
773 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
775 silent-rules reorganization, --enable-silent-rules switch.
776 This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default
777 verbosity. Since configure now needs to know whether the
778 `silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be
779 set within AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, or with a new AM_SILENT_RULES macro
780 but not any more through AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or the automake
781 command line option `--silent-rules'.
782 * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define the default verbose
783 variable in terms of `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'.
784 (handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.
785 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'. If seen,
786 enable global `silent-rules' option.
787 (usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'.
788 (parse_arguments): Do not accept `--silent-rules'.
789 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Overhaul. Document
790 AM_SILENT_RULES, --enable-silent-rules, --disable-silent-rules,
791 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY. Show an example for user-added variables
792 for less verbose output.
793 (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'.
794 (Public Macros): Document `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
796 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
797 `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac.
798 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If the `silent-rules' option
799 was enabled, require `AM_SILENT_RULES'; move AM_BACKSLASH
800 initialization to ...
801 * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): ... this new file, new macro.
802 Deal with `--enable-silent-rules' switch; define
803 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.
804 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add silent.m4.
805 * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use
807 * tests/flavor.test: Remove test for `--silent-rules'.
808 * tests/silent.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
809 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; use `--enable-silent-rules'.
810 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
811 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
812 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
813 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
814 * tests/silent6.test: Likewise. Test `AM_SILENT_RULES' as well
815 as `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([silent-rules])' instead of
817 * tests/silent7.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
818 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; ensure the latter is rejected.
819 Test combinations of --enable-silent-rules and
820 --disable-silent-rules with `make V=0' and `make V=1'.
821 Suggestion for configure-time switch by Bob Friesenhahn.
823 manual: Add note about parallelism and tests ordering.
824 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
825 Dependencies between test logs work for tests with known
826 extensions only. Hint that tests should be prepared to be run
829 Fix maintainer-check failure.
830 * tests/suffix13.test: Use Exit not exit.
832 2009-04-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
834 parallel-tests: more testsuite exposure.
835 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Also test overriding TEST_LOGS and
838 parallel-tests: let VERBOSE=yes output appear before summary.
839 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): In `VERBOSE=yes' mode,
840 output contents of `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' before, rather than after
841 the test suite summary. This ensures that the email address
842 appears near the end of the output; also, the log file already
843 starts with a result summary anyway.
845 parallel-tests: `clean recheck' should not rerun all tests.
846 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-html): Do not rerun all
847 tests if `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' does not exist.
848 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Adjust recheck test.
849 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Adjust recheck-html test.
851 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.

854 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
856 parallel-tests: Fix driver for nonempty executable extension.
857 * automake.in (handle_tests): New substitution `%am__EXEEXT%',
858 defined as 'FALSE' for non-generic rules, or if no programs are
859 built at all. Otherwise, define it as configure conditional.
860 * lib/am/check2.am [%am__EXEEXT%] (%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): New
861 conditional generic rule.
862 * m4/init.m4: Hook an m4_provide of `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' onto
863 Autoconf's `_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT' macro.
864 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' has been provided
865 at `AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE' time, then introduce a conditional
866 `am__EXEEXT', defined to true iff `$EXEEXT' is nonempty.
867 * tests/check5.test: Only match `_EXEEXT_[1-9]' here, to avoid
868 false positives stemming from `@am__EXEEXT_TRUE@'.
871 2009-04-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
873 Fix a couple of $(EXEEXT)-related testsuite failure.
874 * tests/check8.test: Allow executable extensions in test suite
876 * tests/check9.test: Add `$(EXEEXT)' manually to @substituted@
879 * NEWS: Update for last patch.

885 Fix renamed objects with subdir-objects and other languages.
886 * automake.in: Fixed bug when building with renamed objects
887 and foreign languages.
888 * tests/suffix13.test: New test.
889 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
891 Reports by Florian Briegel and Stepan Kasal.
893 2009-04-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
895 Do not remove texinfo outputs upon mostlyclean.
896 * lib/am/texinfos.am: New substitutions %MOSTLYCLEAN%,
898 (clean-aminfo): New target, remove %TEXICLEAN% if nonemtpy,
899 declare phony. Hook this target to ...
900 (clean-am): ... this and ...
901 (?CYGNUS?clean-info): ... this.
902 (maintainer-clean-aminfo): Remove %MAINTCLEAN% if nonempty,
904 (mostlyclean-aminfo): Remove %MOSTLYCLEAN%.
905 * automake.in (handle_texinfo_helper): Return three arrays
906 $MOSTLYCLEAN, $TEXICLEAN, $MAINTCLEAN, instead of one array.
907 Only put LaTeX helper files in $MOSTLYCLEAN, the rest in
909 (handle_texinfo): Accept these, chop off extra newline, and
910 substitute them in `texinfos.am'.
912 * tests/txinfo33.test: New test.
913 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
914 Report by Bruno Haible.
916 2009-04-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
918 testsuite: unset TESTS, TEST_LOGS, to avoid interference.
919 * tests/defs.in: Unset TESTS, TEST_LOGS.
921 testsuite: generate $(parallel_tests) just when needed.
922 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): No need to list
923 $(parallel_tests) here, they can be generated as needed during
924 the test run, following our recommendation in the manual.
926 Remove superfluous line from recheck recheck-html.
927 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Remove superfluous
928 line, introduced bogusly in last commit.
930 2009-04-06 Akim Demaille <akim@lrde.epita.fr>
931 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
933 parallel-tests: redo check-html, recheck, recheck-html.
934 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-am): Remove.
935 (recheck-TESTS): Rename to ...
936 (recheck): ... this and rewrite, factored ...
937 (recheck-html): ... with this rule. Pass TEST_LOGS rather than
938 RECHECK_LOGS to `check' and `check-html', respectively, to avoid
939 running outdated tests. Invoking the public macros ensures
940 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time. Do not output errors
941 for tests that were not run yet. If the testsuite has not run
942 at all, run all tests.
943 (check-html): Run `check' target, not `check-TESTS', to ensure
944 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time.
945 (.PHONY, .MAKE, AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Adjust contents.
946 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Expose the check-html and
948 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Expose the recheck issues.
949 Bugs in previous version pointed out by Akim, who already had
950 them fixed in his original version.
952 2009-04-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
954 parallel-tests: LOG_COMPILER for tests without known extension.
955 * automake.in (handle_tests): If we don't match a known
956 extension, define `LOG_COMPILER' as `$(LOG_COMPILE)
957 $(AM_LOG_FLAGS) $(LOG_FLAGS)' and use it as %COMPILE% in check2.
958 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
959 Document it. In the examples, suggest using the AM_*LOG_FLAGS
960 flags in Makefile.am rather than the variables without `AM_'
962 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (AM_PL_LOG_FLAGS): Renamed from
963 (PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... this variable, intended for the user.
964 * tests/parallel-tests7.test: Extend test.
966 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
968 More node renaming in the manual.
969 * doc/automake.texi (Top): Adjust menu to ...
970 (API Versioning): ... this node being renamed from ...
971 (API versioning): ... this, and ...
972 (Wildcards): ... this being renamed from ...
973 (wildcards): ... this.
974 Report by Karl Berry.

981 2009-04-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
983 Fix testsuite failures due to nonexistent `dirlist' entries.
984 * tests/defs.in: When parsing `$aclocaldir/dirlist', only add
985 existing directories D to aclocal `-I D' flags, as aclocal
986 errors on nonexisting directories.
987 Report and analysis by Andreas Schwab.
989 2009-03-31 Akim Demaille <akim@lrde.epita.fr>
992 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Fix
995 2009-03-31 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
997 Avoid test failure due to paranoid TAR_OPTIONS envvar setting.
998 * tests/txinfo18.test: Don't let a TAR_OPTIONS=--keep-old-files
999 environment variable setting cause test failure. Fixed in
1002 Use more common spelling in diagnostic: s/canonic/canonical/.
1003 * automake.in (check_typos): s/canonic/canonical/.
1005 2009-03-31 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1012 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add statistics for 1.10b.
1014 * NEWS: Minor update.
1016 Reorganize nodes in the manual.
1017 Avoid texinfo sectioning commands without nodes, by either
1018 introducing new nodes along with menus, or using headings
1019 commands. Adjust all references.
1020 * doc/automake.texi: Throughout the manual, adjust references to
1021 new or changed node names. Rename `non-configured' to
1022 `unconfigured', capitalize headings and section names better.
1023 (Top): List new menus and nodes introduced below.
1024 (Length Limitations): Renamed from ...
1025 (Length limitations): ... this.
1026 (aclocal Options): Renamed from ...
1027 (aclocal options): ... this.
1028 (Macro Search Path): Renamed from ...
1029 (Macro search path): ... this. Rename subsubsections to
1031 (Public Macros, Obsolete Macros, Private Macros): Renamed from
1032 (Public macros, Obsolete macros, Private macros): ... these.
1033 (Conditional Subdirectories): Introduce sub menu and split ...
1034 (SUBDIRS vs DIST_SUBDIRS, Subdirectories with AM_CONDITIONAL)
1035 (Subdirectories with AC_SUBST, Unconfigured Subdirectories):
1036 ... into these new nodes. Adjust subsection names to node
1038 (Conditional Sources): Rename subsubsections to subsubheadings.
1039 (Conditional Programs): Likewise.
1040 (Program Variables): Renamed from ...
1041 (Program variables): ... this.
1042 (Libtool Issues): Introduce sub menu and split into ...

1086 Update AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS for parallel-tests.
1087 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS):
1088 Add check, recheck, check-html, recheck-html.
1090 2009-03-29 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1091 Akim Demaille <akim@lrde.epita.fr>
1093 parallel-tests: New target recheck-html.
1094 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (recheck-html): New phony,
1095 recursive target. Factor common implementation with
1097 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document recheck-html.
1098 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Test it.

1101 Akim Demaille <akim@lrde.epita.fr>
1103 parallel-tests: redo lazy checking: recheck and RECHECK_LOGS.
1104 Replace the LAZY_TEST_SUITE API with a simpler yet more powerful
1105 one: RECHECK_LOGS specifies those tests which are to be removed
1106 in any case before testing. Provide a `recheck' convenience
1107 target to set RECHECK_LOGS to all failed and unexpectedly passed
1108 tests. Document several ways to limit the set of tests run.
1109 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (RECHECK_LOGS): New variable,
1110 default to $(TESTS_LOGS).
1111 (check-TESTS): Remove $(RECHECK_LOGS) not $(TEST_LOGS). Drop use
1113 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Do not output note about lazy rerun, as
1114 LAZY_TEST_SUITE is gone.
1115 (recheck): New target.
1116 (recheck-am, recheck-TESTS): New internal targets.
1117 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Update @vindex for TESTS and
1118 TEST_LOGS. Replace description of LAZY_TEST_SUITE with a list
1119 of ways the set of tests to be run can be modified. Document
1120 RECHECK_LOGS and the recheck target.
1121 * tests/defs.in: Unset RECHECK_LOGS not LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
1122 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Adjust, replacing LAZY_TEST_SUITE
1123 with corresponding RECHECK_LOGS settings.
1124 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: New tests.
1125 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1126 Suggestion and different implementation by Akim Demaille.
1128 parallel-tests: do not mark check-TESTS as `.MAKE'.
1129 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Remove check-TESTS.
1130 This rule removes files, which should not be executed with BSD
1133 parallel-tests: warn about $(srcdir), $(top_srcdir) in TESTS.
1134 * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn about portability issue
1135 concerning generated TESTS files listed with a `$(srcdir)/'
1136 or `$(top_srcdir)/' prefix.
1137 * doc/automake.texi (TESTS): Document this issue. Mention that
1138 the parallel-tests driver is still experimental.
1139 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: New test.
1140 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1142 check-html: Always create HTML output, note conversion failure.
1143 * lib/am/check.am (check-html): Create `$(TEST_SUITE_HTML)' in
1144 any case. Exit unsuccessfully if HTML creation failed.
1145 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Amend test to expose this.
1147 2009-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1149 parallel-tests: per-extension test driver: <EXT>_LOG_COMPILER.
1150 For test files with extension <ext>, introduce the internal
1151 variable <EXT>_LOG_COMPILE, which expands to
1152 $(<EXT>_LOG_COMPILER) $(AM_<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS) $(<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS).
1153 Turn also the lib/Automake/tests testsuite over to the new
1155 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document `EXT_LOG_COMPILER' and
1157 * lib/am/check2.am: Insert `%COMPILE%' right before test.
1158 * automake.in (handle_tests): Substitute `COMPILE' for check2,
1159 empty for tests without extension, and `$(ext_LOG_COMPILE)' for
1160 extension `ext'. In the latter case, define it from the public
1162 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use `parallel-test' globally.
1163 * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove, not needed here
1165 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Split ...
1166 (PL_LOG_COMPILER, PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... into these new variables.
1167 (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): New variable, initialize to `.pl'.
1168 * tests/parallel-tests7.test: New test.
1169 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1170 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
1172 2009-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1174 parallel-tests: also record logs of SKIPped tests.
1175 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Record
1177 Suggested by Jim Meyering.
1179 Minor optimization in parallel-tests text box creation.
1180 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL-TESTS] (am__text_box): Use only one
1181 awk invocation, rather than several tools, to create a text box.
1182 Suggestion from Akim Demaille.
1184 2009-03-29 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1186 Rewrite maintainer-check in separate tests, parallelizable.

1205 (maintainer-check): ... this rule. Depend on $(syntax_check_rules).
1207 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Do not complain if DESTDIR is
1208 passed as argument to `make'.
1210 * doc/automake.texi (Cross-Compilation): Fix underfull hbox.
1212 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
1213 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub,
1214 lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
1216 2009-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1218 manual: minor cleanups.
1219 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Adjust spacing in example.
1220 (Mixing Fortran 77 With C and C++): Drop unneeded @page breaks.
1222 Sane (un)install for empty directory variables.
1223 This patch fixes all install and uninstall rules to behave
1224 sanely when $(wheredir) is the empty string, but $(where_HOW) is
1225 nonempty, for all kinds of values of `where' and `HOW'.
1226 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%, uninstall-%DIR%%PRIMARY%):
1227 Do not touch the install tree if the corresponding directory variable
1228 $(%NDIR%dir) is empty.
1229 * lib/am/java.am (install-%DIR%JAVA, uninstall-%DIR%JAVA): Likewise.

1248 tests/instdir-prog.test, tests/instdir-python.test,
1249 tests/instdir-texi.test: New tests.
1250 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1252 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
1254 Ensure that empty directory variables work with empty content variables.
1255 This test ensures that, if both $(wheredir) and $(where_HOW) are
1256 the empty string, then the `install' and `uninstall' rules behave
1257 sanely, for several directory variables `wheredir' and several
1259 * tests/instdir.test: New test.
1260 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1262 2009-03-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1264 Use --tag=FC with libtool also for .f90 files.
1265 * automake.in: Set 'libtool_tag' for language `fc'.
1266 * tests/fort5.test: Grep for the tag.

1271 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1273 For PR automake/533:
1274 DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
1275 When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
1276 (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
1277 thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
1278 distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
1279 need to be made writable recursively. Since file modes should
1280 not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'.
1281 * lib/am/distdir.am: Handle this situation.
1282 * tests/distdir.test: Extend test to those cases.
1284 Report by Peter Breitenlohner.
1286 2009-03-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1288 Fix a documentation typo.
1289 * doc/automake.texi (Headers): Clarify the note telling when it's
1290 better not to use noinst_HEADERS.
1292 2009-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1294 Define AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS, for gnulib's GNUmakefile.
1295 This new macro lists all public targets which invoke `make'
1296 recursively, or depend on targets which do so. It allows to
1297 prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
1298 passed on the `make' command line.
1299 * lib/am/distdir.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): New
1301 * lib/am/subdirs.am (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Likewise.
1302 * lib/am/tags.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS):
1305 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1307 Fix LAZY_TEST_SUITE handling and $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) recreation.
1308 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Expand `$(TEST_LOGS)' only once
1309 in the rule command, for systems with low command line limits.
1310 Remove $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) even in LAZY_TEST_SUITE mode.
1311 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Always recreate $(TEST_SUITE_LOG). Mention
1312 lazy mode in the summary output.
1313 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Test LAZY_TEST_SUITE semantics.
1315 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1317 Fix parallel-tests with empty $(TESTS) for BSD make.
1318 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Ignore
1319 empty line stemming from empty $(TEST_LOGS), to avoid counting
1321 (check-TESTS): If `$(TESTS)' is empty, override TEST_LOGS to be
1322 empty, rather than `.log', for BSD make.
1323 * tests/parallel-tests6.test: New test.
1324 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1326 Mark check-html and check-TESTS as recursive for BSD make.
1327 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Add check-TESTS
1328 and check-html prerequisites.
1330 Match XFAIL_TESTS correctly with Solaris make.
1331 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS]: VPATH rewriting may have
1332 changed test names, so srcdir needs to be taken into account
1333 explicitly when checking against the list of tests expected
1334 to fail. Fixes spurious FAILures from XFAIL_TESTS.
1336 Use append mode to capture parallel test output.
1337 * tests/lisp8.test: Use append mode for output from `make -j',
1338 to avoid dropped lines.
1339 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
1341 parallel-tests: Fix summary output.
1342 * lib/am/check.am (am__text_box): Fix unportable sed script,
1343 replacing `\n' in the right hand side of an `s' command with
1344 a literal newline. Kudos to Bruno Haible for the newline idea.
1345 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Update test to expose this.
1347 2009-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1349 Overhaul of tests/README.
1350 * tests/README: General overhaul. Mention parallel test suite
1351 execution, the test-suite.log file; document `Exit' vs. `exit',
1352 `defs' vs. `defs-p', the naming of `parallel-tests' tests.
1353 * README: Simplify, point to tests/README.
1355 Documentation for the parallel-tests driver.
1356 * doc/automake.texi (Tests, Options): Document the `parallel-tests'
1357 option, including new features of the test driver.
1360 New tests for `parallel-tests'.
1361 * tests/parallel-tests.test: New file, to expose a bunch of
1362 features of `parallel-tests': VERBOSE, clean, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
1363 test dependencies, DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS.
1364 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: New file, test check-html.
1365 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: New file, test concurrency.
1366 * tests/parallel-tests4.test: New file, test suffix rules.
1367 * tests/parallel-tests5.test: New file, demonstrate compile/test
1369 * tests/defs.in: Add a `required' check for rst2html.
1370 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1372 parallel-tests: Ensure backward-compatible semantics.
1373 For each test in Automake's test suite that uses TESTS, generate
1374 an identical one that uses the `parallel-tests' option, for
1375 coverage of backward-compatible functionality.
1376 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: New file, generates distributed
1377 Makefile.am snippet tests/parallel-tests.am to list all tests
1378 that use the TESTS interface but not yet the `parallel-tests'
1379 option, with names mangled to use suffix `-p.test', in ...
1380 (parallel_tests): ... this new make macro.
1381 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/parallel-tests.am)
1382 ($(parallel_tests), defs-p): New rules.
1383 (TESTS): Add check11.test and $(parallel_tests).
1384 (check_SCRIPTS): Add defs-p, $(parallel_tests).
1385 (check-clean-local): Remove `defs-p'.
1386 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute gen-parallel-tests.
1387 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): New variable, remove $(parallel_tests).
1388 * bootstrap: Generate parallel-tests.am.
1389 * tests/check8.test: Check for circular dependencies in rules.
1390 * tests/check11.test: New test, check that SKIPs are not counted
1392 * tests/defs.in: Unset DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS, LAZY_TEST_SUITE,
1393 VERBOSE, so the tests are not influenced by the way our test

1401 Parallel test execution: new option `parallel-tests'.
1402 * automake.in (handle_tests): Set new conditional PARALLEL_TESTS
1403 when reading check.am. Handle option `parallel-tests' and all
1404 its new semantics. Define macros TEST_SUFFIXES, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
1405 TEST_SUITE_HTML, TEST_LOGS, TEST_LOGS_TMP, suffix rules if
1406 applicable, and per-target rules for other tests. Add all log
1407 files to %clean_files at the `MOSTLY_CLEAN' level.
1408 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
1410 * lib/am/check.am [!PARALLEL_TESTS] (check-TESTS): Move existing
1411 testsuite driver under this new conditional.
1413 (am__rst_title, am__rst_section, am__text_box am__sh_e_setup)

1426 * automake.in (define_verbose_var, verbose_flag)
1427 (define_verbose_tagvar, handle_options, handle_languages)
1428 (handle_configure, parse_arguments): Rename the `silent' option
1429 to `silent-rules', so it coincides with the `--silent-rules'
1430 command line option; adjust all code and comments.
1431 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Likewise.
1432 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake, Libtool Flags, Options):
1435 * tests/dollarvar.test, tests/silent.test, tests/silent2.test,
1436 tests/silent3.test, tests/silent4.test, tests/silent5.test,
1437 tests/silent6.test, tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1438 Suggestion by Jan Engelhardt.
1440 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1442 `silent' mode unconditionally overrides portability-recursive.
1443 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Don't handle a global `silent'
1444 option here; instead, ...
1445 (handle_options): ... handle the "normal" `silent' option here.
1446 Override `portability-recursive' here, at the last point we deal
1447 with options, instead ...
1448 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): ... of here.
1449 * tests/silent6.test: Replace unportable make snippet, remove
1450 FIXME note, add more test cases of options passed in the various
1453 Drop extra line from compile rules when `silent' is not used.
1454 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Only use the `%VERBOSE%
1455 @AM_BACKSLASH@' extra line if ?VERBOSE?.
1456 Report by Ralf Corsepius.
1458 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1460 Keep `--silent-rules' across triggered automake reruns.
1461 * automake.in (usage): Reformat to be a bit clearer.
1462 (handle_configure): Remove substitutions %STRICTNESS% and
1463 %USE-DEPS% in favor of a new substitution %AUTOMAKE-OPTIONS%
1464 that carries over all needed flags.
1465 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%): Adjust rule.
1466 * tests/flavor.test: New test, to ensure --$flavor (gnu,
1467 gnits, foreign, cygnus), --ignore-deps, and --silent-rules are
1468 preserved across automake reruns.
1469 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1471 2009-03-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1473 Provide variables for silencing of user rules.
1474 * automake.in (handle_languages): Always define `AM_V_GEN' and
1476 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Document these flags.
1477 * tests/silent7.test: New test.
1478 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1480 Redo variable naming for `silent' machinery.
1481 The public variables are named `AM_V_' plus the compiler
1482 short-hand now, e.g.: AM_V_CC, AM_V_CXXLD, AM_V_GEN. The
1483 dispatch variables are internal details and begin with
1485 * automake.in (verbose_var): Update comment.
1486 (verbose_private_var): New function. Order functions so that
1487 ones not needed outside this section are listed first.
1488 (verbose_dispatch): Remove, no need to factor this.
1489 (define_verbose_var, define_verbose_libtool): Use
1490 verbose_private_var.
1491 (define_verbose_tagvar): Likewise; and simplify.
1492 Report by Jan Engelhardt.
1494 Let -Wportability turn on/off the portability-recursive channel.

1585 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): When checking the msvisualcpp
1586 and msvcmsys depmodes, do not require `-c -o' to work just yet.
1587 It is not needed by the depcomp script for these depmodes, and
1588 works around the ordering issue between the tests.
1589 Report by Peter Rosin.
1591 2009-03-09 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1593 * tests/compile2.test: Fix typo.

1609 Ensure that `make -n dist' and `make -n distcheck' do not change
1610 files, due to GNU make executing rules containing `$(MAKE)'.
1611 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Separate the creation of
1612 `$(distdir)/$$subdir' for `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' and the recursion
1613 into the `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' in two separate rule commands.
1614 (distcheck): Exit recursive rule early when run with `make -n',
1615 as detected by a witness file.
1616 * tests/maken.test, tests/maken2.test: New tests.
1617 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1620 2009-03-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1622 Solaris make testsuite fixes.
1623 * tests/check10.test: When a rule fails, Solaris make will
1624 output the complete command that failed; in this case the test
1625 suite driver. Adjust the test to not bogusly match lines from
1626 the driver, rather than its output.
1627 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Avoid triggering VPATH rewriting,
1628 not desirable in this test.
1629 * tests/specflg10.test: Use BUILT_SOURCES to specify an
1630 intermediate target, so Solaris make knows what to do.
1632 testsuite: SKIP compile tests if configure found no compiler.
1633 * tests/depend6.test: configure will exit 77 if AC_PROG_CC found
1634 no working compiler. Allow the test to be SKIPped in that case.

1637 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise.

1664 Replace bare `automake' with `@command{automake}' or `Automake'.
1665 * doc/automake.texi: Avoid bare `automake' in the manual,
1666 replacing occurrences with `@command{automake}' when the command
1667 is meant, and `Automake' when speaking about the software
1670 2009-03-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1694 Add debugging features.
1695 * lib/gnupload: New options --delete, --symlink, --rmsymlink,
1696 --symlink-regex, --dry-run; support `--' to separate options and
1697 commands from files. New target download.gnu.org.ua. Expand
1698 `.gnupload' file contents before command line arguments.
1700 (dprint, mkdirective, mksymlink, upload): New functions.
1703 2009-03-03 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1705 Add depmode=msvcmsys for Microsoft Visual C++ on MSYS.
1706 * lib/depcomp [msvisualcpp]: Fork fewer processes. Filter out
1707 libtool in the preprocessor invocation (as is done in
1708 depmode=cpp). Silence compiler stderr.
1709 [msvcmsys]: New depmode as a derivative of depmode=msvisualcpp.
1710 msvcmsys transforms any backslashes into forward slashes to
1711 make the grep in depend.m4 match, instead of the "cygpath -u"
1712 that is used in msvisualcpp.
1714 2009-03-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1726 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE, QUEUE_CONF_FILE, QUEUE_LOCATION)
1727 (QUEUE_STRING): Define using one `use constant' each; as perl
1728 5.6.0 (on MSYS) does not understand `use constant { ... }'.

1785 2008-12-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1787 Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
1788 Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
1789 containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play
1790 well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
1791 as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
1792 generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
1793 This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
1794 but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
1795 * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
1796 page due to missing help2man.
1797 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true
1798 if this makefile deals with man pages.
1799 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): If %INSTALL-MAN% and %HAVE-MANS%,
1800 check that no man page in $(MANS) contains the replacement text
1802 * tests/man4.test: New test.

1814 Report by Andreas Bergmeier.
1816 Fix config.status depfiles failure.
1817 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Commands are
1818 again a single shell brace group, so they are correctly skipped
1819 when dependencies are turned off. The failure is noisy with
1821 * tests/depend6.test: New test.
1822 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

1853 * doc/automake.texi: Fix object/article consistency (eg "an
1854 flag" becomes "a flag"), correct minor punctuation errors, etc.
1856 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs, Python, Rebuilding):
1857 Replace 'configure' with '@command{configure}' as appropriate.

1890 quoting to MISSING, but only if needed.

2084 New serialization keys.
2085 ($required_conf_file_queue): New file global.

2087 functions, to queue and dequeue requirements for aux dir files.
2088 (require_conf_file): Enqueue if needed.
2089 (get_number_of_threads): Can do threads with --add-missing now.
2090 (handle_makefiles_threaded): Let worker threads enqueue, let
2091 master attend to queued requirements at the right time.
2092 * tests/parallel-am.test: Explain the purpose of the include
2094 * tests/parallel-am2.test: Also cope with --add-missing.

2097 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2099 Implement serialization for Locations.
2100 * lib/Automake/Location.pm (serialize, deserialize): New
2101 functions. They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and
2102 to restore a Location from a thread queue. The API is
2103 unsymmetric (array vs. queue) because enqueuing data needs to
2106 Parallel automake: ordered output messages.
2107 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (%_default_options): New options
2108 `ordered' default enabled, `queue', default zero (no queue),
2109 `queue_key' default undefined.
2110 (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
2111 messages or backtrace output.
2112 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
2113 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
2114 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
2115 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
2116 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
2118 (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
2119 to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.
2120 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Unset channel option `ordered'
2121 for fatal, automake, and verb channels.
2122 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as
2124 (handle_makefiles_threaded): Create message queues for each
2125 input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
2126 ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.
2127 * tests/parallel-am.test: Also check for ordered output (in the
2128 absence of --add-missing races).
2129 * tests/parallel-am2.test: New test; check for ordered output of
2130 warning and (regular) error messages.
2131 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2133 Parallel automake execution: AUTOMAKE_JOBS.
2134 * lib/Automake/Config.in (perl_threads): New global.
2135 * automake.in: Use it. If the perl supports interpreter-based
2136 threading, then use `threads' and `Thread::Queue'.

2138 factored out from main.
2139 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
2140 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
2141 of independent makefiles.
2142 (handle_makefiles_threaded): New function. Spawn threads, use
2143 thread queue to distribute handling the different makefiles.
2144 Collect $exit_code values from threads.
2145 (main): Use new functions.
2146 * aclocal.in: No threads here.

2152 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use `Automake::Config' and
2154 (verb): Prepend thread ID (tid) to verbose messages.
2155 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (msg): Before exiting, flush stderr,
2156 needed for worker threads.
2157 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Also
2158 include the build tree path, so Config.pm is found.
2159 * tests/parallel-am.test: New test.

2167 Minor file checking optimization: set_dir_cache_file.
2168 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (set_dir_cache_file): New function.
2169 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Instead of resetting the
2170 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
2171 using set_dir_cache_file.
2173 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
2174 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
2175 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
2176 as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
2177 enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.
2178 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (fatal, automake, verb): Set
2179 `uniq_part' to `UP_NONE' when registering these channels.
2181 Fix 'config.status --file=... depfiles' with new Autoconf.
2182 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Eval
2183 $CONFIG_STATUS contents if we detect the quoting used by
2184 Autoconf 2.62 and newer for --file=.

2192 Support for Python 3.0, drop support for pre-2.0.
2193 * lib/py-compile: Do not import string; use sys.stdout.write
2194 instead of print, files.split instead of string.split.
2195 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Also look for python3 and
2196 phython3.0; do not look for python1.5. Use sys.stdout.write.
2197 (AM_PYTHON_CHECK_VERSION): Do not use string; adjust to xrange
2198 removal in Python 3.0, and changed semantics of map.
2199 * doc/automake.texi (Python, Hard-Coded Install Paths): Update
2200 Python versions mentioned in the manual, using 2.5 everywhere.
2201 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

2205 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (@chain): Drop unused variable.
2207 Cleanup of per-input global variables in automake.in.
2208 * automake.in ($output_vars, $output_all, $output_header)
2209 ($output_rules, $output_trailer): Fix comment, and sort
2210 declarations in the order they will appear in the output.
2211 ($all_target): Unused variable, remove.
2212 (Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,
2213 clarify that %am_file_cache is not reset.
2214 (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
2215 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
2216 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort
2217 remaining variables in the same order as in the section
2218 `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.
2220 Let stderr output end up on fd 2 in testsuite.
2221 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Output recorded stderr on file
2223 * tests/getopt.test: Fix erroneous multiple redirection,
2224 uncovered by above change.
2226 2008-10-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2228 Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
2229 Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported
2230 through thread creation. This patch fixes that by recreating
2231 the hashes upon thread creation with a CLONE special subroutine,
2232 which is automatically invoked by new enough Perl versions.
2233 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (CLONE): New special
2234 subroutine to fix self hashes upon thread creation.
2235 * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: New, sister test to

2370 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.

2373 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
2374 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
2375 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
2376 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
2377 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
2378 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
2379 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
2380 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
2381 passed to libtool in one invocation.
2382 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not

2391 end of the -rpath argument. Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
2392 installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.

2432 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Allow to install
2433 several programs with one install invocation, when not using
2434 libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
2435 create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a

2510 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

2514 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
2515 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
2516 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
2517 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
2518 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
2519 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
2520 lower the limit to 40, too.
2521 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
2522 (am__base_list): New macro.
2523 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
2524 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
2525 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Likewise.
2527 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2529 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
2530 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
2531 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
2532 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
2533 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
2534 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
2535 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
2536 * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function. Use it throughout,
2537 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.
2538 * tests/aclibobj.test, tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca11.test,

2748 2008-09-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2750 Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
2751 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
2752 from output for comparison.
2754 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
2755 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
2756 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
2757 relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted
2759 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fix current check for
2760 $(am__cd) within backquotes a bit. Add new check for `cd' to a
2762 * automake.in (handle_tags, handle_configure): Adjust rules.
2763 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am: Likewise.
2764 * lib/am/configure.am: Likewise.
2765 * lib/am/distdir.am: Likewise.
2766 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am: Likewise.
2767 * lib/am/subdirs.am: Likewise.
2768 * lib/am/tags.am: Likewise.
2769 * lib/am/texibuild.am: Likewise.
2771 Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
2772 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
2773 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
2774 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
2775 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.
2777 2008-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2779 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).
2780 * m4/maintainer.m4 (AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Allow for an optional
2781 first argument of `enable' or `disable', setting the default.
2782 * doc/automake.texi (Optional, maintainer-mode): Document.
2783 * tests/mmode.test: New test.
2784 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2786 Suggestion by Vincent Lefevre.
2788 2008-08-31 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2790 Copyright year updates.
2791 * lib/am/header-vars.am: Update copyright years.
2792 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am: Likewise.
2793 * lib/am/tags.am: Likewise.
2795 2008-08-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2797 * THANKS: Use Cyrillic name instead of ASCII transcription.
2799 2008-08-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2801 Fix rebuilding of removed subdir/Makefile.in files.
2802 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%) [?!TOPDIR_P?]: If
2803 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
2804 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.
2805 * tests/remake6.test, tests/remake7.test: New tests.
2806 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2807 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2808 Report and initial patch by Ilya N. Golubev.
2810 2008-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2812 * tests/notrans.test: Use multiple man files of each type.
2814 Fix maintainer-check failures.
2815 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Drop TAB.
2816 * tests/missing6.test: Use 'rm -f'.
2818 2008-08-19 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org> (tiny patch)
2820 * doc/automake.texi (Flag Variables Ordering, Per-Object Flags):
2823 2008-08-02 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2825 * lib/gnupload: Provide also a simple example.
2827 2008-06-25 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnuvola.org>
2830 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Close open paren.
2832 2008-06-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2834 Introduce macro $(am__mv) to facilitate 'libtool --dry-run'.
2835 * lib/am/depend.am (am__mv): New macro, set to 'mv -f'.

2850 conditional config.status rule.
2851 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.

2854 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
2855 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on

2972 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2974 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
2975 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
2976 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
2977 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
2978 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
2979 a problem, it should be revisited.
2981 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
2982 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
2983 files keyed by their target directory.
2984 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
2985 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
2986 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
2987 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
2988 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
2989 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
2990 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
2991 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
2993 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
2994 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
2995 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
2996 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
2997 a list for byte compilation after installation.
2998 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
2999 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
3000 to install multiple files at once.
3002 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
3004 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

3034 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
3036 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3038 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
3039 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
3040 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
3041 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
3042 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
3043 setting MAKE to test gmake.

3061 2008-02-05 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
3063 * doc/automake.texi (CVS): configure.ac will appear newer, not

3134 Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.
3135 * tests/obsolete.test: Check for presence of autoupdate. Apparently,
3136 FreeBSD may install the other Autoconf programs without a version
3137 suffix but not autoupdate.
3139 Fix Heisenbug trying to unset a sometimes-not-set variable.

3154 texinfo.tex is searched in the same directory as the Makefile.am
3155 that needs it. Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
3156 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and
3158 * tests/txinfo22.test: Ensure TEXINFO_TEX is not distributed.

3882 * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): If `no-dependencies', do not invoke
3884 * tests/nodep2.test: New test.
3885 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
3887 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): If we are in the
3888 LIBOBJDIR, then we should not add a DEPDIR prefix.
3889 * tests/pr401.test: Update test.
3890 * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise.
3891 * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
3892 Report by Jim Meyering and Eric Blake.
3894 * lib/depcomp (gcc3): Put dependency extraction flags before the
3895 `-c' flag, so they appear at the same position as in %FASTDEP%
3896 mode in depend2.am. Fixes build failure for FreeBSD's c89,
3897 which ignores unknown options only after the first non-option.
3898 Bug report against M4 by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
3900 2006-10-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3901 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3903 * automake.in ($seen_gettext_intl): New variable.
3904 (handle_gettext): Consider it.
3905 (scan_autoconf_traces): Add AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR to the list.
3906 Set $seen_gettext_intl when it is seen.
3907 * doc/automake.texi (gettext, Optional): Update.
3908 * tests/gettext3.test: New test.
3909 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
3911 2006-10-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3913 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
3914 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
3915 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
3916 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
3917 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
3918 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
3919 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.
3920 Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;
3921 suggested by Stepan Kasal.

3938 For PR automake/505:

3948 2006-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3950 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Fix matching of XFAIL_TESTS
3951 against currently running test for the first and last element
3952 of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
3953 on these words, too.
3954 * tests/check6.test: Update.
3956 2006-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3958 For PR automake/501:
3959 * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%):
3960 Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
3961 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
3962 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
3963 This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.
3965 2006-08-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3967 * automake.in: Fortran 77 and Fortran should require variables
3968 F77 resp. FC to be defined, and suggest the respective Autoconf

3977 For PR automake/500:
3978 * automake.in (handle_compile) <$default_includes>: Do not output
3979 the same -I twice. Use @am__isrc@ instead of ` -I$(srcdir)'.
3980 * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
3981 non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
3982 * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
3983 and non-VPATH builds.

4025 $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.
4027 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4029 * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
4030 ylwrap. Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
4031 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
4032 (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always

4046 lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
4047 lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
4048 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
4049 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
4050 mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
4051 * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
4054 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
4055 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to
4056 -I m4. Running aclocal during the rebuild rules will fail
4057 if the default acdir does not exist.
4059 * NEWS, configure.ac, m4/init.m4, m4/lispdir.m4, m4/mkdirp.m4:

4097 (lang_upc_rewrite): New function.
4098 (resolve_linker): Consider UPCLINK.
4099 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest
4100 AM_PROG_UPC for UPC and UPCFLAGS.

4114 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
4116 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
4117 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
4118 other built scripts.
4120 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
4121 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
4122 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
4123 * tests/init.test: New file.
4124 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
4126 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4128 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
4129 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
4130 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
4131 `make distdir' instead.
4133 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4135 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
4136 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
4137 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
4139 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
4140 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
4141 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
4142 Report from Bas Wijnen.
4143 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
4144 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
4146 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
4147 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
4148 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
4149 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
4150 if we cannot create this file.
4151 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
4152 (unlink_tmp): New function.
4153 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
4155 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4157 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
4158 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
4159 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
4160 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
4162 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
4163 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
4165 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
4167 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4169 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
4170 can install only one file at a time.
4171 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
4172 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
4173 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
4174 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
4175 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
4176 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
4177 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
4178 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
4179 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
4180 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
4181 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
4182 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
4183 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
4184 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
4185 intermediate directories; this is safer.
4186 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
4187 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
4188 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
4189 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
4190 traditional implementations.
4192 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4194 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
4196 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4198 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
4199 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
4200 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
4202 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4203 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4205 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
4206 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
4207 computed by config.status.
4208 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
4209 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
4212 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
4213 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4215 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
4216 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
4217 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
4219 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4221 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
4223 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4225 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
4227 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4228 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4230 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
4231 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
4232 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
4233 Fix some comment typos.
4235 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4237 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
4238 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
4239 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
4241 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
4244 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
4245 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
4246 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
4247 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
4248 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
4250 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
4252 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
4254 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
4255 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
4257 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
4258 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
4259 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
4262 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
4264 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
4266 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
4268 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
4269 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
4270 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
4272 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4274 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
4275 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
4276 directory component.
4277 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
4279 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
4280 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.

4283 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4285 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
4286 New upstream versions.
4288 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4290 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
4291 repository, they use SVN now.
4293 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
4295 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
4296 savannah.nongnu.org.
4298 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4300 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
4301 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
4302 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
4304 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4306 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
4307 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
4308 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
4309 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
4310 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
4311 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
4312 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
4314 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4316 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
4318 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
4319 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
4321 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
4322 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
4324 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
4325 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
4326 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
4327 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
4328 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
4330 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
4332 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
4334 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
4335 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
4336 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
4339 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
4340 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
4343 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
4344 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
4345 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
4347 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4349 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
4350 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
4352 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
4355 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
4356 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
4359 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:

4870 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
4871 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
4872 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
4874 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4876 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
4877 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
4878 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
4879 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
4880 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
4881 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
4882 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
4883 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
4884 Report from Ed Hartnett.
4886 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4888 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
4890 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
4891 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
4892 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
4893 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
4894 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
4896 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4898 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4899 Fix redirections in previous patch.
4901 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4903 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4904 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
4905 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
4906 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
4907 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
4908 Report from Bob Proulx.
4910 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
4912 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
4914 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
4916 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4918 Fix PR automake/461:
4919 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
4920 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
4921 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
4922 Report from Tom Tromey.

5157 Autoconf currently defines a CCC variable.
