3 * automake.in (Preprocessed Fortran): Fix the definition of FCLINK.
5 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Refine check for @_ in scalar
6 context. Check for correct use of PRE_INSTALL, NORMAL_INSTALL,
7 POST_INSTALL, PRE_UNINSTALL, NORMAL_UNINSTALL, and POST_UNINSTALL.
8 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Hide the invocation of
11 2004-12-27 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
13 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Show change of
14 directory while uninstalling DJGPP-style info files.
16 2004-12-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
18 Declare recursive install targets as dependencies of `.MAKE', so
19 that `make -n install' works with BSD Make too.
21 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (reset) <%dependencies>: Add `.MAKE'.
22 * automake.in (target_cmp): Move all `.XYZ' target last, not
24 (handle_factored_dependencies): Add target with hooks to `.MAKE'.
25 Do not let a user definition of .MAKE override ours.
26 * lib/am/install.am (install-am, install-strip): Mark as `.MAKE'.
27 * lib/am/multilib.am (all-multi, install-multi, mostlyclean-multi,
28 clean-multi, distclean-multi, maintainer-clean-multi): Likewise.
29 * lib/am/subdirs.am (mostlyclean-recursive, clean-recursive,
30 distclean-recursive, maintainer-clean-recursive): Likewise.
32 2004-12-18 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

40 Report from Bruno Haible.
42 * doc/automake.texi: Bump GFDL version to 1.2, since that is
45 * doc/automake.texi: Fix more misuses of @ref, @xref and @pxref,
46 including some of the "corrections" below. Thanks to Karl Berry.
48 * doc/automake.texi: Correct several misuses of @xref and @pxref.
50 2004-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
52 * install-sh: Use `(exit N); exit N', not `(exit N); exit'.
53 Otherwise, install-sh could exit with improper exit status when
54 exiting via a trapped interrupt. Thanks to a report from Bob Proulx.
56 2004-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
58 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Englishoes.
59 (Options): And another.

68 * automake.in (check_user_variables): New function, extracted
70 (handle_languages): ... here.
71 (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable, define_link_variable):
73 (handle_single_transform): Check _LIBTOOLFLAGS in
74 addition to other per-target flags for Libtool objects.

79 * tests/libtool8.test: Make sure Automake warns about LIBTOOLFLAGS
81 * tests/subobj9.test: Adjust.
83 2004-12-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
85 * doc/automake.texi (Per-Object Flags): New node.
87 2004-12-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

91 not install *.class if "$(%DIR%_JAVA)" is empty.
92 * tests/java3.test: New file.
93 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
94 Report from Johannes Nicolai.
96 * doc/automake.texi (Java): Mention dist_ and add an example.

99 2004-12-08 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com>
100 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
102 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (dir_has_case_matching_file,
103 reset_dir_cache): New functions.
104 * automake.in (handle_dist, require_file_internal): Use them, so
105 that CHANGELOG is not confused with ChangeLog on case-insensitive
106 case-preserving file systems.
107 * tests/hfs.test: New file.
108 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hfs.test.
110 2004-12-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
112 * lib/mdate-sh: Don't use "set - x`$ls_command /`", as zsh mishandles
113 the spaces inside $ls_command. Problem reported by Loulou Pouchet in
114 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-12/msg00074.html>.
115 Don't use "set - x"; plain "set x" is enough, and simplifies debugging.
117 2004-12-05 Toshio Kuratomi <toshio@tiki-lounge.com>
119 * lib/py-compile: Add --destdir switch to py-compile that takes a
120 path argument that is not compiled into the file when byte compiling.
121 * lib/am/python.am: Use the new py-compile arguments to not include
122 DESTDIR in the byte compiled files.
123 * tests/python12.test: Test that DESTDIR won't be byte compiled into
126 2004-12-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
128 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Typo.
130 * doc/automake.texi: Use @acindex for Autoconf macros, and @vindex
131 for variables (@cvindex was previously used for both). Separate
132 these two indices in the output. Use @code, @file, and @command
133 in @cindex lines wherever appropriate so they render nicely.
135 2004-12-05 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
137 * doc/automake.texi (renamed objects, CVS): Typos.
139 2004-12-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
141 * doc/automake.texi (Flag Variables Ordering): New section.
142 (User Variables, Program and Library Variables): @xref it.
144 2004-11-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
146 * doc/automake.texi (Conditional Subdirectories): More comments
147 about non-distributed subdirectories.
149 * Makefile.am (maintainer-clean): Check for unescaped @ in manual.
151 2004-11-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
153 * doc/automake.texi (Built sources example): Fix typo.
155 2004-11-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
157 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Diagnose abbreviation ambiguous with
159 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Likewise.

163 2004-11-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
165 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Diagnose empty arguments, options
166 with missing argument, and support `--'.

169 * tests/aclocal.test: More checks.
170 * tests/automake.test: New file.
171 * tests/postprog.test: Use `--' for fun.
172 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add automake.test.
173 Report from Eric Blake.
175 * lib/am/progs.am (installcheck-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Run programs with
176 /dev/null as input, so we do not hang on programs that read their
177 input without supporting --help and --version.
178 * lib/am/scripts.am (installcheck-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Likewise for scripts.
179 * tests/gnits2.test: Change scriptnok.sh to cat its input.
180 Report and fix from James Youngman.
182 2004-11-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
184 * aclocal.in (%file_seen): Rename as ...
185 (%file_added): ... this, and move it close to add_file(), the only
186 function that uses it.
188 * aclocal.in (version): Remove initial blank line and reproduce
189 the layout of automake --version. From Art Haas.
191 * aclocal.in (%file_type, FT_USER, FT_AUTOMAKE_SYSTEM): New variables.
192 (scan_m4_dirs): New function, extracted from ...
193 (scan_m4_files): ... here. Call scan_m4_files three times, for each
195 (scan_file): Take a file type argument to update %file_type.
196 (write_aclocal): Do not m4_include files that are not of type FT_USER.
197 * tests/dirlist.test: Make sure m4_include is not used for --acdir
200 * tests/defs.in (testaclocaldir): New variable.
201 * tests/aclocal.test: Use it to fix the test. Report from
204 2004-11-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
206 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Fix the invocation of
207 AC_PATH_PROGS to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no interpreter
208 is found (this worked correctly only when a minimal version was
209 passed to AM_PATH_PYTHON). Report from Stepan Kasal.
210 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Define using m4_define_default,
211 so we can easily override the list from the test suite.
212 * tests/python11.test: New file.
213 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add python11.test.
215 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Make clearer that -module
216 should appear explicitly in _LDFLAGS.
218 2004-11-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
220 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correctly recognize --print-ac-dir.
221 * tests/aclocal.test: Check --print-ac-dir and a unknown option.
223 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Fix detection of unexisting default
224 $(datadir)/aclocal. Report from Akim.
226 2004-11-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
228 * aclocal.in ($acdir): Rename as ...
229 (@system_includes): ... this.
230 (@user_includes, @automake_includes): New variables.
231 ($default_acdir, $default_dirlist): Remove.
232 (parse_arguments): Populate @user_includes, @automake_includes, and
233 @system_includes instead of filling a unique @dirlist array.
234 ("MAIN"): Adjust to scan m4 files in @user_includes,
235 @automake_includes, and @system_includes.
237 2004-11-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
239 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correct comment. From Akim.
241 2004-11-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
243 * aclocal.in: Use Automake::ChannelDefs, and adjust all output
244 to be done via `fatal', `msg', `verb', or `prog_error'.
245 (version): New function.
246 (parse_arguments): Rewrite using Getopt::Long, call &version, and
247 honor -W and --warning.
249 (trace_used_macros): Do not trace the first arguments of macros
250 for which we do not need it. This caused failures because of
251 unexpected newlines in the output.
252 * doc/automake.texi (aclocal options): Document -W and --warning.
253 * tests/defs.in (ACLOCAL): Always use -Werror, to catch Perl
254 warnings about uninitialized variables.
256 2004-11-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
258 * tests/defs.in: Do not distinguish VERBOSE=x from
259 VERBOSE=anything_but_x, always turn on shell traces.
261 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Make sure $map_traced_defs{$m} exists
262 before using it. Suppress a warning observable in test/acloca16.test.
263 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
265 2004-11-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
267 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Make sure $ENV{'MAKEFLAGS'} exists
268 before inspecting it; this fixes "uninitialized value in
269 concatenation" diagnostics when flock fails.
270 Report from Gary V. Vaughan.
272 * aclocal.in: Use strict and -w. Declare local variables with `my',
273 and get rid of `local'.
274 (scan_m4_files, add_macro): Reindent these functions while we are
277 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
279 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Spelling and grammar corrections
280 from Ralf Wildenhues.
282 2004-10-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
284 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Augment with an example setup.
285 (LTLIBOBJ): Rename as ...
286 (LTLIBOBJS): ... this. Link to LIBOBJS, and mention LTALLOCA.
288 2004-10-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
290 * doc/automake.texi: Untabify, tabs in the examples are poorly
292 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Grep tabs in the manual.
294 * tests/comment8.test: Use $MAKE, not make.
296 2004-10-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
298 * tests/distcom3.test: Typo.
300 2004-10-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
302 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Convenience Libraries): Explain how
303 to force the linker selection.
305 * lib/install-sh: Fix the dirname emulation to ignore trailing
306 slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'. This
307 caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
308 * tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
309 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
311 2004-10-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
313 * automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
314 by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
315 target name. Simplify this function to simply conditionally
316 prepend $U to the given extension.
317 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Hard-code
318 the extension to use. This way Automake won't mistake a program
319 named `foo.la' as a libtool library.
320 * tests/primary3.test: New file.
321 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add primary3.test.
323 2004-10-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
325 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Link to node Extending for examples.
326 (Extending): More comments about install-data-hook vs
327 install-exec-hook, and link to Install.
329 * configure.ac: Export @am_AUTOCONF@.
330 * tests/defs.in (AUTOCONF): Define as @am_AUTOCONF@, not @AUTOCONF@,
331 so the test suite runs `autoconf' and not `missing --run autoconf'.
332 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing
333 to be used in front of autoconf even if the user has exported
334 AUTOCONF. This fixes two spurious failures reported by
337 * lib/compile: Handle output.obj in addition to output.o.
338 * tests/compile.test: Check for this.
340 2004-10-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
342 * doc/automake.texi (Sources): Typo, reported by Karl Berry.
344 2004-10-10 Kelley Cook <kcook@gcc.gnu.org> (tiny change)
345 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
347 * aclocal.in ($ac_defun_rx): Match AC_DEFUN_ONCE.
348 (trace_used_macros): Trace AC_DEFUN_ONCE.

351 2004-10-10 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> (tiny change)
353 * doc/automake.texi (Extending): Typo.
355 2004-10-10 Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> (tiny change)
357 * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): Check dependency tracking mode for CCAS.
358 * automake.in (cppasm): Use the dependency tracking more for CCAS.
359 * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Note that *.S are
360 preprocessed with CPPFLAGS.
362 2004-10-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
364 * automake.in (Languages): Split .s (asm) and .S (cppasm) into
365 separate languages. Make cppasm (Preprocessed Assembler) aware
366 of CPPFLAGS, AM_CPPFLAGS.
367 (handle_languages): Fix typo.
368 (lang_cppasm_rewrite): New function.
370 2004-09-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
372 * tests/subobj9.test: Adjust regexes after previous patch.
374 2004-09-28 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
376 * automake.in (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable): Output
377 Libtool's --tag= option before --mode=compile, because depcomp use
378 --mode=compile as end marker for libtool arguments.
379 (define_linker_variable): Likewise before --mode=link, for
381 * tests/pr307.test: Make sure dependency files are updated. That
382 was not the case because depcomp thought `--tag=CC' was the
383 compiler to get dependencies from.
384 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
386 2004-09-26 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
388 * configure.ac: Require Perl 5.6.
389 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Require Perl 5.6 (not done in
390 lib/Automake/General.pm because it is shared with Autoconf),
391 and use `our' instead of `use vars'.
392 * aclocal.in (rel2abs): Remove.
393 (scan_configure_dep): Use File::Spec->rel2abs instead.
395 * tests/compile.test, tests/instsh2.test, tests/instspc.test: Use
396 two consecutive spaces in filename instead of one, to catch mistake
397 like `echo $val | ...`.
398 * tests/README: Suggest this.
399 Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
401 2004-09-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
403 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Document -local targets.
405 2004-09-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
407 * doc/automake.texi: Typos.
409 2004-09-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
411 * doc/automake.texi (Timeline): Typos and other English mistakes
412 reported by Jim and Gary.
414 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Strip comments from augmented
416 * tests/comment8.test: New file.
417 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add comment8.test.
418 Report from Stepan Kasal.
420 2004-09-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
422 * tests/compile.test: Fix rm usage.
424 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config.sub, lib/config.guess,
425 lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
427 * doc/automake.texi (Timeline): New node. Thanks to Karl and Tom
428 for their comments on a preliminary version of this, Akim for
429 digging out some old mails, and Jason Molenda for sending the note
430 about Automake in Alias to Tom.
431 (Releases): Rename `ac' to `acl', suggested by Akim.
433 2004-09-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

440 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): New node.
442 * doc/automake.texi (Dependencies): Link to Dependency Tracking
444 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Link to GNU make, Sources (for
445 BUILT_SOURCES), and update the paragraph about the "plan" to
446 inline dependency tracking with gcc3.
448 * doc/automake.texi (History): New node.
449 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): New node, filled with a Texinfo
450 version of Tom Tromey's ``Dependency Tracking in Automake''
451 document, initially published on the Automake homepage on
454 2004-09-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
456 * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Make sure AC_PROG_CC is never
457 called after this macro.
458 * tests/distname.test, tests/subdir5.test, tests/subdir8.test,
459 tests/subobj.test, tests/subobj4.test, tests/subobj5.test,
460 tests/subobj6.test: Adjust.
461 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
463 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (_print_message): Handle uniq_part with
465 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Set uniq_part so that the
466 AM_PROG_CC_C_O diagnostic is output only once for subdir objects
467 and only once for objects with per-target flags.
469 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Print files and locations
470 for AM_PROG_CC_C_O errors.
471 (handle_single_transform): Pass $var to &$subr so it can
474 * lib/compile, lib/elisp-comp, lib/install-sh, lib/ylwrap: Use $ret
475 instead of $status which is read-only in Zsh.
477 2004-09-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
478 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
480 * lib/compile: Preserve spaces in arguments (for example
481 -DPACKAGE_STRING="foo 0.1").
482 * tests/compile.test: New file.
483 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add compile.test.
485 2004-09-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
487 * automake.in (handle_clean): Sort rm commands output for
488 mostlyclean-generic, clean-generic, distclean-generic, and
489 maintainer-clean-generic.
490 Report from Bob Friesenhahn.
492 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Do not require AM_PROG_CC_C_O for
494 (handle_single_transform): Pass nonansi_obj to &$subr so
495 lang_c_rewrite can distinguish libtool objects.
496 * tests/libtool7.test: Use subdir-objects without using AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
497 Report from Gary V. Vaughan and Patrick Welche.
499 2004-09-07 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
501 * automake.in ($PATH_PATTERN): Add `+'.
503 2004-09-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
505 * tests/missing3.test: New file (check for Paolo's change below).
506 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add missing3.test.
508 2004-09-07 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
510 * missing: Handle all command line options together. Add a
511 separate case statement to detect failed runs, and fail
512 silently there if --help or --version is passed to the program.
514 2004-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
516 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
519 * configure.ac (pkgvdatadir): Define using "$PACKAGE", not "automake".
522 * lib/am/yacc.am [!%?MORE-THAN-ONE%]: Replace `#line's in y.tab.h too.
523 * tests/yacc7.test: Check this.
525 2004-08-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
527 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (new): Precompute 'string' and 'conds'
528 in place instead of as a side-effect of calling ->string and ->conds.
529 This saves method-lookup time, simplify ->string and ->conds, and
530 allows to create the object only when necessary.
531 (string, conds): Simplify, now that the result is precomputed.
533 * automake.in (%am_file_cache): New hash.
534 (make_paragraphs): Cache .am files with comments stripped to save
535 some useless input and substitutions.
537 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_primary_dict): New hash.
538 (_new, variable_delete): Update %_primary_dict.
539 (variables): Accept an optional $suffix argument.
540 * automake.in (check_typos, am_primary_prefixes): Use that
541 optional argument to restrict the loops over the variables we are
544 2004-08-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
546 * lib/Automake/Item.pm (def): Rewrite more concisely, it's faster
549 2004-08-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
551 Speed up make_paragraphs.
552 * automake.in (handle_languages): Always define SUBDIROBJ,

578 (handle_single_transform): Pass $have_per_exec_flags to
580 * configure.ac, m4/init.m4: Require Autoconf 2.59a.
581 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.

590 tests/specflg9.test, tests/subobj7.test, tests/target-cflags.test,
591 tests/yacc6.test: Fix to use AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
593 2004-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
595 * automake.in (yacc_lex_finish_helper): Fix definition of YLWRAP
596 when ylwrap is installed in a default aux dir found in a parent
598 * tests/subpkg.test: Augment to check that YLWRAP is installed
600 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): ylwrap is not sought is the
602 Report from Norman Gray.

610 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): ... these.
611 (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan for the latter three macros instead of
613 (make_paragraphs): Adjust definitions of %BUILD%, %HOST%, and %TARGET%.
614 * tests/hosts.test: New file.
615 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hosts.test.
616 Report and test case from Norman Gray.
618 2004-08-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
620 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Update "#Extending%20aclocal" URL, makeinfo
621 4.7 now outputs "#Extending-aclocal".
623 2004-08-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
624 Derek R. Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
626 Disable Lex and Yacc rules whenever possible if AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
627 is used and maintainer-mode disabled.
628 * automake.in (Automake::struct): Define nodist_specific.
629 Set it in languages yacc, yaccxx, lex, and lexxx.

653 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
655 2004-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
657 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Remove `.' from the mkdir_p
658 definition, it causes `make install' to fails for user with no
659 right to write in the source-tree.
660 * automake.in (handle_configure): Do not use mkdir_p in the
661 definition for $(mkdir_p).
662 Report from Harlan Stenn.
664 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Typo in comment.
666 2004-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
668 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Typo in example.
669 Report from Ulrich Eckhardt.

681 * lib/config-ml.in, lib/config.sub, lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex:
682 New upstream versions.
684 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
685 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Use $(X), not ${X}.
687 * tests/installdir.test: installdirs-local should appear three times,
688 since the change from 2004-07-11 will make it PHONY.
690 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Always use $(DIST_SUBDIRS) now
691 that it is always defined. This is less confusing for users
692 reading the generated Makefiles.
693 * automake.in (handle_dist): Do not substitute DIST_SUBDIR_NAME.
695 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
696 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Output .htp, and then rename to .html
697 on success. In case the target is a directory, this ensures its
698 time stamp is updated and the no files are left over inside.
699 * tests/txinfo21.test: Augment to test missing timestamp update
700 reported by Akim Demaille.
702 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Rename as ...

716 * automake.in (target_hook): Accept %transform as last argument.
717 (handle_single_transform): Pass %transform to target_hook.
718 (handle_source_transform): Define DIST_SOURCE to tell whether
719 a the source of a file is distributed or not.
720 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Check DIST_SOURCE, and do not distribute
721 the generated header if the .y source is not distributed.
722 * tests/pr204.test: Use AM_YFLAGS = -d and make sure generated
723 headers are not distributed.
725 2004-07-12 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com> (tiny change)
727 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Improve ustar file name length
728 discussion. Reference tar manual.
730 2004-07-12 Ray Simard <rhs.techlists@sylvan-glade.com> (tiny change)
732 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Fix precondition check.

737 Support for conditionally defined -hook and -local rules.
738 * automake.in (user_phony_rule): New function.
739 (handle_dist, handle_install, handle_all, do_check_merge_target,
740 handle_factored_dependencies): Use user_phony_rule before
741 adding a user -hook or -local rule as a dependency to ensure
742 it is always defined an phony.
743 * tests/cond37.test, tests/condhook.test: New files.
744 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
745 Report from Simon Josefsson and Nik A. Melchior.
747 2004-07-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
749 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Warn that you should create
750 /tmp/staging before installing into it, to avoid security problems.
751 * lib/install-sh: Remove support for -b= and -t= options; this
752 has been moribund for a decade.
753 Add support for -t and -T options (new in coreutils install).
754 -c option now does nothing (the default is to copy), for
755 compatibility with BSD and coreutils 'install'.
756 Fix usage message; it referred to nonexistent variables.
757 Don't assume 'lasterr' is unset in environment.
758 * tests/instsh2.test: Don't assume that install-sh without -c
759 moves (it now copies). Add tests for new -t and -T options.
761 2004-06-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
763 For Debian Bug#254372:
764 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Rewrite the paragraph
765 explaining m4_include is used for relative files.
767 2004-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
769 For Debian Bug #251820:
770 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Keep track of the location where each
771 file is included, and display it when reporting a missing file.
772 Pass this location to scan_file as a second argument.
773 (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_file.
774 * tests/acloca14.test: Add a test for this diagnostic.
776 2004-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
778 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Split the definition of $_am_tools
779 so it works with Solaris and Tru64 /bin/sh.
780 Report from Nicolas Joly.
782 2004-06-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
784 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Introduce $_am_tools to work around a
785 bug in NetBSD /bin/sh.
786 Report from Nicolas Joly.
788 2004-06-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
790 * tests/defs.in (required=icc): Use `-V -help' instead of
791 `-V -dryrun'. icc 8.0 fails on the latter.
792 * tests/depcomp5.test: Require depmode=icc for icc 7.x, and
793 depmod=gcc otherwise.
794 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
796 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Do no
797 `rm -f $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' if `$(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' is empty.
798 Report from Nicolas Joly.
800 2004-05-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
802 * NEWS: Make clearer that we do not output partial Makefile.ins on
804 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
806 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Use $dir$base.o.d instead
807 of $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Libtool 1.5 causes both to be output,
808 and we will clean the second automatically during distclean.
809 Using the latter and leaving the former as we did before cause
810 "files left in build directory" failures during distcheck.
811 Suggested by Nicolas Joly.
813 * doc/automake.texi (Built sources example): Explain what
814 nodist_foo_SOURCES is (not) useful to, and use it in all the
816 (Tags): Mention nodist_noinst_HEADERS and nodist_prog_SOURCES.
817 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
819 2004-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
821 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8c.
823 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8b.
825 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR) <cpio>: Specify -o and -i option first,
826 by POSIX; and use option -d in am_untar.
828 * tests/defs.in (PATH): Export it.
830 * lib/am/multilib.am: Add $(MAKE) comments to multido and
831 multiclean lines, to enable parallel make. Based on a patch
832 by Alexandre Oliva applied to newlib on 2003-10-15.
834 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
836 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for LT_SUPPORTED_TAG
837 instead of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, since that how CVS Libtool has been
839 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not grep for --tag=CC, since CVS
840 Libtool (unlike Libtool 1.5) does not has any CC tag.
842 * tests/tar2.test: Skip the test if no pax archiver were found.
844 * NEWS: Sync with branch-1-8, and reorganize current entry.
846 * automake.in (handle_libraries): Make the diagnostic about
847 non standard libraries a warning in foreign packages. This
848 is already the case in handle_ltlibraries.
849 (handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Suggest a standard
850 library name in the diagnostic, to help newcomers.
851 * tests/stdlib.test, tests/stdlib2.test: Check for these
854 Check directory names for unportable names. Shaking the code
855 to check this also led to the removal of the no-"/"-in-SUBDIRS
856 restriction, and a fix to _do_recursive_traversal.
858 * automake.in (check_directory): New function extracted from
859 handle_subdirs, and augmented to check for reserved W32/DOS name.
860 (check_directories_in_var): New function.
861 (handle_subdirs): Call check_directories_in_var. Doing so also
862 suppress the restriction that SUBDIRS should not contain slashes.
863 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR>: Call check_directory
864 to ensure the argument exists and is safe.
865 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Do not say that src/subdir
866 cannot be put in SUBDIRS.
867 (Dist): Mention that distdir and top_distdir can be absolute.
868 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_do_recursive_traversal) Support
869 undefined $fun_collect, and fix two bugs introduced with
870 skip_ac_subst on 2004-03-07.
871 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Use absolute distdir and
872 top_distdir when recursing, because we can no longer prepend only
873 `..' in case of SUBDIRS with `/'.
874 * tests/auxdir4.test, tests/subdir9.test: New files.
875 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add auxdir4.test.
876 * tests/cond2.test, tests/subdir7.test: Augment to check location
879 2004-05-21 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> (tiny changes)
881 * tests/txinfo22.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Use aux1, not aux, for
882 cygwin compatibility.
883 * tests/yacc6.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Likewise.
885 * tests/conflnk3.test: Isolate checking for working `test -e' into
886 a subshell, to skip this test on broken /bin/sh of solaris.
888 2004-05-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
890 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITIONAL): Double-quote diagnostic.
891 * tests/condd.test: Define a macro with the same name as a
893 * tests/pr220.test: Modernize, and make sure the diagnostics
894 contains the macro name.
895 Report from Volker Boerchers.
897 2004-05-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
899 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
901 2004-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
903 * automake.in (handle_dist): Always define DIST_SUBDIRS, even when
904 the no-dist or cygnus options are used.
905 * tests/clean2.test: New file.
906 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add clean2.test.
907 Report from Daniel Jacobowitz.
909 * aclocal.in (add_macro): Do not error out on undefined required
910 macros. We are not sure they are really used, and Autoconf
911 already diagnoses them.
912 (scan_configure_dep): Diagnose missing AM_ macros as warnings rather
914 * tests/aclocal3.test, tests/ammissing.test: Adjust to expect a
915 warning instead of an error.
916 * tests/aclocal8.test: AC_REQUIRE an undefined macro in an unused
917 macro, and ensure aclocal works anyway.
918 * tests/acloca17.test: New file.
919 * tests/error.test: Delete, superseded by tests/acloca17.test.
920 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca17.test and remove error.test.
921 Report from Jim Meyering.
923 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?!GENERIC_INFO?%DEST_INFO_PREFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
924 Fold a few lines to reduce the output by 5 lines.
925 Suggested by Karl Berry.
927 * automake.in (parse_arguments, MAIN): Give more precise
928 diagnostics when no input file is found.
929 * tests/output5.test: Adjust.
930 Suggested by Jens Petersen.
932 2004-05-14 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
934 * lib/am/libs.am (AR, ARFLAGS): Move these definition ...
935 * automake.in (handle_libraries): ... here, so that they are
936 output even for EXTRA_LIBRARIES.
937 * tests/ar2.test: New file.
938 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
939 Report from Kevin Ryde.
941 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
943 * automake.in (generate_makefile): Do not output Makefile.in on
945 * tests/werror2.test: New file.
946 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add werror2.test.
947 * tests/substtarg.test, tests/cond36.test, tests/backsl4.test:
948 Adjust to run automake with -Wno-error when the output is expected
949 in spite of the error.
950 Report from Harlan Stenn.
952 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Remove
953 doubled word in footnote.
955 * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Also check for a
956 $(srcdir)/old_source rule when computing the default source name.
957 Propagate this $(srcdir) prefix in Automake variables.
958 * tests/ltlibsrc.test (noinst_LTLIBRARIES): Explicitly refer to
959 $(srcdir)/zoo_d_old2_la.c. This fixes another failure with BSD Make.
961 2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
963 * Makefile.am (fetch): Work even with FreeBSD "make", which
964 uses sh -e and thus errors-out if a simple-command fails.
965 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Likewise.
966 * lib/am/ltlib.am (clean-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Likewise.
967 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Likewise.
969 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
971 * tests/lex3.test, tests/yacc6.test: Require GNU Make.
972 Fixing these for BSD Make requires invasive changes (lexers and
973 parsers must be built into $srcdir, and--most annoyingly--all
974 references to parse.h must be changed to $(srcdir)/parse.h).
975 Report from Mark D. Baushke.
977 2004-05-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
979 * tests/defs.in (GNUmake): Grep for GNU to parry FreeBSD make.
980 Report from Mark D. Baushke.

992 * automake.in (check_typos): Clarify the diagnostic.
993 * tests/warnopts.test: Adjust.
995 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Turn VAR_ASIS variables into
996 VAR_PRETTY variables to work around make implementation with
997 limited line length, such as OSF1/Tru64 make.
998 * tests/longline.test: New file.
999 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1000 * tests/pluseq3.test, tests/pluseq8.test: Adjust.
1001 Report from Simon Josefsson.
1003 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Pass `.' to Exuberant Ctags if
1004 --etags-include is used but no other files are supplied, so it
1005 creates the TAGS file anyway.
1006 Report from Akim Demaille.
1008 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Nicolas Joly reported on
1009 2002-06-12 that dependencies were output in $dir.libs/$base.lo.d.
1010 Teun Burgers reported on 2004-03-30 they were in
1011 $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Try both.
1013 2004-04-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1035 distcheck): Adjust to use am__tar and am__untar.
1036 * m4/tar.m4: New file.
1037 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add tar.m4.

1550 * tests/depend.test, tests/depend4.test, tests/exsource.test:
1552 Suggested by Tom Tromey.
1554 Do not output .lo rules for programs and static libraries objects,
1555 and do not output .o/.obj rules for libtool libraries. This is
1556 about explicit rules only, not inference rules.
1557 * automake.in (handle_single_transform_list): Rename as ...
1558 (handle_single_transform): ... this. Take a single file
1559 to transform (it was only called this way) and accept a new
1560 %transform argument. Fill %lang_specific_files with list
1561 references instead of strings, and append %transform to each
1563 (define_objects_from_sources, handle_source_transform):
1564 Take a %transform argument, and forward it to &handle_single_transform.
1565 (handle_languages): Adjust to the new format of
1566 %lang_specific_files, and honor its %transform part.
1567 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Override
1568 %NONLIBTOOL% and %LIBTOOL% while calling handle_source_transform.
1569 (make_paragraphs): Define %NONLIBTOOL% by default. Make sure
1570 %transform settings override global settings.
1571 * lib/am/depend2.am (%OBJ%, %OBJOBJ%): Define only if %NONLIBTOOL%.
1572 * tests/libtool3.test: Augment to check Makefile.ins for unneeded
1574 Suggested by Thomas Fitzsimmons.
1576 * automake.in, aclocal.in: Bump copyright years.
