239 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
241 Implement serialization for Locations.
242 * lib/Automake/Location.pm (serialize, deserialize): New
243 functions. They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and
244 to restore a Location from a thread queue. The API is
245 unsymmetric (array vs. queue) because enqueuing data needs to
248 Parallel automake: ordered output messages.
249 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (%_default_options): New options
250 `ordered' default enabled, `queue', default zero (no queue),
251 `queue_key' default undefined.
252 (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
253 messages or backtrace output.
254 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
255 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
256 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
257 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
258 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
260 (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
261 to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.
262 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Unset channel option `ordered'
263 for fatal, automake, and verb channels.
264 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as
266 (handle_makefiles_threaded): Create message queues for each
267 input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
268 ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.
269 * tests/parallel-am.test: Also check for ordered output (in the
270 absence of --add-missing races).
271 * tests/parallel-am2.test: New test; check for ordered output of
272 warning and (regular) error messages.
273 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
275 Parallel automake execution: AUTOMAKE_JOBS.
276 * lib/Automake/Config.in (perl_threads): New global.
277 * automake.in: Use it. If the perl supports interpreter-based
278 threading, then use `threads' and `Thread::Queue'.
279 (handle_makefile, handle_makefiles_serial): New functions,
280 factored out from main.
281 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
282 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
283 of independent makefiles.

285 thread queue to distribute handling the different makefiles.
286 Collect $exit_code values from threads.
287 (main): Use new functions.
288 * aclocal.in: No threads here.

309 Minor file checking optimization: set_dir_cache_file.
310 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (set_dir_cache_file): New function.
311 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Instead of resetting the
312 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
313 using set_dir_cache_file.
315 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
316 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
317 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
318 as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
319 enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.
320 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (fatal, automake, verb): Set
321 `uniq_part' to `UP_NONE' when registering these channels.

335 * lib/py-compile: Do not import string; use sys.stdout.write
336 instead of print, files.split instead of string.split.
337 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Also look for python3 and
338 phython3.0; do not look for python1.5. Use sys.stdout.write.

351 ($output_rules, $output_trailer): Fix comment, and sort
352 declarations in the order they will appear in the output.
353 ($all_target): Unused variable, remove.
354 (Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,
355 clarify that %am_file_cache is not reset.
356 (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
357 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
358 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort
359 remaining variables in the same order as in the section
360 `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.
362 Let stderr output end up on fd 2 in testsuite.

370 Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
371 Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported
372 through thread creation. This patch fixes that by recreating
373 the hashes upon thread creation with a CLONE special subroutine,
374 which is automatically invoked by new enough Perl versions.
375 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (CLONE): New special
376 subroutine to fix self hashes upon thread creation.
377 * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: New, sister test to

509 Install nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES before bin_PROGRAMS.
510 * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
511 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
512 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.

515 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
516 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
517 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
518 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
519 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
520 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.

522 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
523 passed to libtool in one invocation.

654 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
656 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
657 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
658 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
659 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
660 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
661 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
662 lower the limit to 40, too.
663 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
664 (am__base_list): New macro.
665 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
666 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
667 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Likewise.
669 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
671 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
672 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
673 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
674 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
675 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
676 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
677 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
678 * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function. Use it throughout,
679 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.

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

913 Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
914 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
915 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
916 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
917 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.
919 2008-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
921 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).

991 * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the
992 conditional config.status rule.
993 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
995 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
996 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
997 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
998 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.

1093 (fetch): Pull config.guess and config.sub from git repo now.
1095 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
1096 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.
1097 (xsystem_hint): New function, like xsystem but allows to pass

1103 * automake.in (handle_man_pages), lib/am/mans.am: Implement
1104 notrans_ prefix for MANS primary and rework dependencies for
1105 install-man%SECTION%; use only vars defined in Makefile.am.

1107 Document notrans_ prefix.
1109 * tests/notrans.test: New test.

1112 * automake.in (handle_man_pages): Reindent, for next patch.
1114 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1116 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
1117 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
1118 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
1119 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
1120 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
1121 a problem, it should be revisited.
1123 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
1124 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
1125 files keyed by their target directory.
1126 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
1127 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
1128 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
1129 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
1130 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
1131 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
1132 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
1133 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
1135 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
1136 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
1137 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
1138 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
1139 a list for byte compilation after installation.
1140 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
1141 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
1142 to install multiple files at once.

1149 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump AC_PREREQ to 2.61-341,
1151 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
1152 failure early and provide a sensible error message.

1176 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
1178 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1180 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
1181 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
1182 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
1183 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
1184 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
1185 setting MAKE to test gmake.

1203 2008-02-05 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
1205 * doc/automake.texi (CVS): configure.ac will appear newer, not

1276 Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.

1278 FreeBSD may install the other Autoconf programs without a version
1279 suffix but not autoupdate.
1281 Fix Heisenbug trying to unset a sometimes-not-set variable.

1296 texinfo.tex is searched in the same directory as the Makefile.am
1297 that needs it. Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
1298 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and

1370 * tests/txinfo26.test: Skip if `pwd` contains whitespace, as
1371 an absolute --srcdir does not work there.
1373 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config-ml.in, lib/config.guess,
1374 lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
1376 Fix the distdir target to cope with spaces in absolute file names.
1377 * lib/am/distdir.am: Quote all instances of $(distdir) and
1378 $(top_distdir). They could contain white space, coming from
1379 a toplevel package bootstrapped with an older Automake version.

2055 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
2056 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination

2058 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
2059 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
2060 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in

2275 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2277 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
2278 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
2279 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
2281 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
2282 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
2283 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
2284 Report from Bas Wijnen.
2285 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
2286 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2288 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
2289 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
2290 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
2291 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
2292 if we cannot create this file.
2293 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
2294 (unlink_tmp): New function.

2297 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2299 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
2300 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
2301 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
2302 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
2304 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
2305 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
2307 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
2309 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2311 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
2312 can install only one file at a time.
2313 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
2314 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
2315 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
2316 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
2317 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
2318 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
2319 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
2320 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
2321 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
2322 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
2323 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
2324 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
2325 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
2326 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
2327 intermediate directories; this is safer.
2328 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
2329 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
2330 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
2331 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
2332 traditional implementations.
2334 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2336 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
2338 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2340 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,

2347 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
2348 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
2349 computed by config.status.
2350 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
2351 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.

2370 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2372 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
2373 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
2374 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
2375 Fix some comment typos.
2377 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2379 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
2380 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
2381 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
2383 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
2386 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
2387 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
2388 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
2389 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.

2392 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.

2399 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
2400 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
2401 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
2404 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
2406 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.

2410 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
2411 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
2412 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
2414 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2416 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use

2446 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2448 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
2449 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
2450 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
2451 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
2452 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
2453 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
2454 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
2456 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2458 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
2460 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
2461 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.

2464 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
2466 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
2467 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
2468 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
2469 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
2470 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
2472 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
2474 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
2476 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
2477 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
2478 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
2481 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
2482 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
2485 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...

2497 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
2498 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
2501 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
2502 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
2503 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
2505 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
2506 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
2507 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
2508 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
2510 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
2511 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
2512 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
2514 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
2515 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
2516 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless

2520 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
2521 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
2524 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
2525 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
2526 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
2529 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
2530 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
2531 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
2532 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2534 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
2535 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
2536 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
2537 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
2538 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
2539 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.

2555 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
2557 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2559 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
2560 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
2561 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
2562 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
2563 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
2564 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
2565 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
2566 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

2869 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
2870 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.

2895 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
2896 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
2897 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
2898 Report from Stepan Kasal.
2900 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
2901 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
2903 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2905 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
2906 the $(infodir) exists.
2908 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2910 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
2912 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2914 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
2915 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
2917 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
2918 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
2919 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
2920 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
2921 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
2922 for missing files that can be installed.
2923 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
2925 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2927 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
2928 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
2930 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
2931 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
2932 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
2934 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2936 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
2937 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
2938 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
2939 if the usual candidates show up.
2941 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2943 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
2945 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2947 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream
2950 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2952 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
2953 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
2955 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2957 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
2958 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
2960 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
2962 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
2963 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
2966 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2968 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
2969 fix an underful hbox.
2970 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
2971 New upstream versions.
2973 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2975 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
2977 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2979 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
2980 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
2981 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
2982 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
2983 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
2985 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
2987 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
2988 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
2989 Report from Harald Dunkel.
2991 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
2993 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
2994 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
2995 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
2996 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
2998 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3000 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
3001 `mkdir -p' does not work.
3002 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
3003 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
3004 Report from Noah Friedman.
3006 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
3007 Report from Karl Berry.
3009 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3010 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3012 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
3013 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
3014 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
3016 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3018 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
3019 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
3020 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
3021 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
3022 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
3023 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
3024 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
3025 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
3026 Report from Ed Hartnett.
3028 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3030 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
3032 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
3033 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
3034 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
3035 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
3036 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
3038 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3040 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
3041 Fix redirections in previous patch.
3043 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3045 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
3046 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
3047 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
3048 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
3049 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
3050 Report from Bob Proulx.
3052 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
3054 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
3056 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
3058 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3060 Fix PR automake/461:
3061 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
3062 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
3063 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
3064 Report from Tom Tromey.
