96 * tests/parallel-am3.test: New test, test absence of races with
97 concurrent same-file installs stemming from --add-missing.
98 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
100 Implement serialization for Locations.
101 * lib/Automake/Location.pm (serialize, deserialize): New
102 functions. They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and
103 to restore a Location from a thread queue. The API is
104 unsymmetric (array vs. queue) because enqueuing data needs to
107 Parallel automake: ordered output messages.
108 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (%_default_options): New options
109 `ordered' default enabled, `queue', default zero (no queue),
110 `queue_key' default undefined.
111 (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
112 messages or backtrace output.
113 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
114 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
115 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
116 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
117 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
119 (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
120 to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.
121 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Unset channel option `ordered'
122 for fatal, automake, and verb channels.
123 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as
125 (handle_makefiles_threaded): Create message queues for each
126 input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
127 ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.
128 * tests/parallel-am.test: Also check for ordered output (in the
129 absence of --add-missing races).
130 * tests/parallel-am2.test: New test; check for ordered output of
131 warning and (regular) error messages.
132 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
134 Parallel automake execution: AUTOMAKE_JOBS.
135 * lib/Automake/Config.in (perl_threads): New global.
136 * automake.in: Use it. If the perl supports interpreter-based
137 threading, then use `threads' and `Thread::Queue'.
138 (handle_makefile, handle_makefiles_serial): New functions,
139 factored out from main.
140 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
141 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
142 of independent makefiles.

144 thread queue to distribute handling the different makefiles.
145 Collect $exit_code values from threads.
146 (main): Use new functions.

155 (verb): Prepend thread ID (tid) to verbose messages.
156 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (msg): Before exiting, flush stderr,
157 needed for worker threads.
158 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Also
159 include the build tree path, so Config.pm is found.
160 * tests/parallel-am.test: New test.

168 Minor file checking optimization: set_dir_cache_file.
169 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (set_dir_cache_file): New function.
170 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Instead of resetting the
171 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
172 using set_dir_cache_file.
174 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
175 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
176 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
177 as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
178 enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.
179 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (fatal, automake, verb): Set
180 `uniq_part' to `UP_NONE' when registering these channels.
182 Fix 'config.status --file=... depfiles' with new Autoconf.

184 $CONFIG_STATUS contents if we detect the quoting used by
185 Autoconf 2.62 and newer for --file=.

193 Support for Python 3.0, drop support for pre-2.0.
194 * lib/py-compile: Do not import string; use sys.stdout.write
195 instead of print, files.split instead of string.split.
196 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Also look for python3 and
197 phython3.0; do not look for python1.5. Use sys.stdout.write.

210 ($output_rules, $output_trailer): Fix comment, and sort
211 declarations in the order they will appear in the output.
212 ($all_target): Unused variable, remove.
213 (Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,
214 clarify that %am_file_cache is not reset.
215 (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
216 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
217 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort
218 remaining variables in the same order as in the section
219 `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.
221 Let stderr output end up on fd 2 in testsuite.
222 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Output recorded stderr on file

229 Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
230 Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported
231 through thread creation. This patch fixes that by recreating
232 the hashes upon thread creation with a CLONE special subroutine,
233 which is automatically invoked by new enough Perl versions.
234 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (CLONE): New special
235 subroutine to fix self hashes upon thread creation.
236 * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: New, sister test to
237 Condition.pl, but spawns a new threads after each creation of a

369 * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
370 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
371 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.

374 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
375 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
376 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
377 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
378 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
379 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
380 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
381 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
382 passed to libtool in one invocation.

434 several programs with one install invocation, when not using
435 libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
436 create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a
437 constant number of times in the fast path; uses awk and sed also

516 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
517 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
518 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
519 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
520 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
521 lower the limit to 40, too.
522 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
523 (am__base_list): New macro.
524 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
525 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
526 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Likewise.
528 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
530 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
531 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
532 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
533 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
534 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
535 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
536 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
537 * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function. Use it throughout,
538 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.
539 * tests/aclibobj.test, tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca11.test,

751 Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
752 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
753 from output for comparison.
755 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
756 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
757 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
758 relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted
760 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fix current check for
761 $(am__cd) within backquotes a bit. Add new check for `cd' to a
763 * automake.in (handle_tags, handle_configure): Adjust rules.
764 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am: Likewise.
765 * lib/am/configure.am: Likewise.

770 * lib/am/texibuild.am: Likewise.
772 Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
773 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
774 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
775 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
776 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.
778 2008-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
780 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).
781 * m4/maintainer.m4 (AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Allow for an optional
782 first argument of `enable' or `disable', setting the default.
783 * doc/automake.texi (Optional, maintainer-mode): Document.
784 * tests/mmode.test: New test.
785 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
787 Suggestion by Vincent Lefevre.
789 2008-08-31 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
791 Copyright year updates.

796 2008-08-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
798 * THANKS: Use Cyrillic name instead of ASCII transcription.
800 2008-08-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
802 Fix rebuilding of removed subdir/Makefile.in files.
803 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%) [?!TOPDIR_P?]: If
804 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
805 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.

807 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
808 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
809 Report and initial patch by Ilya N. Golubev.
811 2008-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
813 * tests/notrans.test: Use multiple man files of each type.
815 Fix maintainer-check failures.
816 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Drop TAB.
817 * tests/missing6.test: Use 'rm -f'.
819 2008-08-19 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org> (tiny patch)
821 * doc/automake.texi (Flag Variables Ordering, Per-Object Flags):
824 2008-08-02 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
826 * lib/gnupload: Provide also a simple example.
828 2008-06-25 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnuvola.org>
831 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Close open paren.
833 2008-06-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
835 Introduce macro $(am__mv) to facilitate 'libtool --dry-run'.
836 * lib/am/depend.am (am__mv): New macro, set to 'mv -f'.
837 * lib/am/depend2.am: Use throughout to move the temporary
838 depfile *.Tpo to its final destination *.Po.
840 2008-06-18 Rafael Espindola <espindola@google.com>
842 * lib/config-ml.in: don't handle --enable-shared and --enable-static.
844 2008-06-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
846 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): New variable.
847 (am__nobase_list): Use it.
849 Fix conditional rules competing with config.status rules.
850 * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the
851 conditional config.status rule.
852 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
854 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
855 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
856 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
857 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
858 (handle_configure) <CONFIG_CLEAN_VPATH_FILES>: New variable, for
859 links where source and dest are equal.

952 (fetch): Pull config.guess and config.sub from git repo now.
954 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument

973 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
975 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
976 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
977 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
978 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
979 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
980 a problem, it should be revisited.
982 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
983 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
984 files keyed by their target directory.
985 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
986 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
987 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
988 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
989 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
990 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
991 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
992 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
994 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
995 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
996 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
997 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
998 a list for byte compilation after installation.
999 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
1000 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
1001 to install multiple files at once.
1003 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1005 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1007 Require unreleased Autoconf for fixed AC_PROG_INSTALL.
1008 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump AC_PREREQ to 2.61-341,
1010 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
1011 failure early and provide a sensible error message.
1013 Drop usage of obsolete macros AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
1014 * tests/ansi4.test: Drop AC_OBJEXT and AC_EXEEXT.

1035 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
1037 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1039 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
1040 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
1041 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
1042 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
1043 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
1044 setting MAKE to test gmake.
1045 Report by Patrick Welche.
1047 2008-02-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1062 2008-02-05 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
1064 * doc/automake.texi (CVS): configure.ac will appear newer, not
1065 older, than configure. Use `lexical' instead of `alphabetical'.
1067 2008-01-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1069 * tests/man3.test: Avoid `make VAR=value'.

1133 2008-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1135 Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.
1136 * tests/obsolete.test: Check for presence of autoupdate. Apparently,
1137 FreeBSD may install the other Autoconf programs without a version
1138 suffix but not autoupdate.
1140 Fix Heisenbug trying to unset a sometimes-not-set variable.
1141 * tests/check5.test: Do not error out upon `unset TESTS' due to

1151 resistant to different quoting styles of $1.
1153 Clarify texinfo.tex and TEXINFO_TEX semantics.
1154 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Clarify that by default,
1155 texinfo.tex is searched in the same directory as the Makefile.am
1156 that needs it. Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
1157 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and
1159 * tests/txinfo22.test: Ensure TEXINFO_TEX is not distributed.

1223 Modify some tests for absolute trees containing whitespace.
1224 * tests/missing.test: Use "./missing" instead of "`pwd`/missing".

1227 references to myyacc.sh and mylex.sh.
1228 * tests/multlib.test: Likewise for mycc.
1229 * tests/txinfo26.test: Skip if `pwd` contains whitespace, as
1230 an absolute --srcdir does not work there.
1232 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config-ml.in, lib/config.guess,
1233 lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
1235 Fix the distdir target to cope with spaces in absolute file names.
1236 * lib/am/distdir.am: Quote all instances of $(distdir) and
1237 $(top_distdir). They could contain white space, coming from
1238 a toplevel package bootstrapped with an older Automake version.

1320 Use %KEY?TRUE:FALSE%.
1321 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__strip_dir): Assign the result to f
1322 to be more alike am__vpath_adj.
1323 Adjust dependencies.

1350 Fix signal handling in aclocal.
1351 * aclocal.in (unlink_tmp): If invoked by a signal, note so
1352 in verbose mode. Reinstall default signal handler and reraise,
1353 to transport the interrupt information.
1355 2007-11-13 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
1357 Fix color test failure on dumb (and other) terminals.

1375 Run each test in a process-private subdirectory.
1376 * tests/defs.in: Employ a trap to clean up at the end of the
1377 test in case the test succeeded. This needs to be revisited
1378 because we would like to keep the output of XPASSing tests.
1379 Also, note when we were interrupted by a signal. Code taken
1380 from Autoconf's _AC_INIT_PREPARE.
1381 If $keep_testdirs is set, keep them even for successful tests.
1382 * tests/Makefile.am (check-clean-local): New target. Remove all
1383 tests subdirs, but also make them writable first. The latter

1912 2006-10-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1914 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
1915 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
1916 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
1917 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
1918 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
1919 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
1920 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.
1921 Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;
1922 suggested by Stepan Kasal.
1924 2006-10-14 Geoffrey Keating <geoffk@apple.com> (tiny change)
1926 * m4/multi.m4: Non-default multilibs may be cross compilation.

1933 2006-10-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1935 * automake.in (handle_compile): Use subst, for maintainer-check.
1937 2006-10-09 Andreas Köhler <andi5.py@gmx.net> (tiny change)
1939 For PR automake/505:
1940 * lib/am/configure.am (am__CONFIG_DISTCLEAN_FILES):
1941 Fix typo: `config.status.lineno', not `configure.status.lineno'.
1943 2006-09-05 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1945 * NEWS: Mention that `install-sh' needs executable permissions.
1946 * tests/nobase.test: Adjust.
1947 Report by Patrick Welche.
1949 2006-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1951 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Fix matching of XFAIL_TESTS
1952 against currently running test for the first and last element
1953 of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
1954 on these words, too.
1955 * tests/check6.test: Update.
1957 2006-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1959 For PR automake/501:
1960 * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%):
1961 Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
1962 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
1963 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
1964 This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.
1966 2006-08-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1968 * automake.in: Fortran 77 and Fortran should require variables
1969 F77 resp. FC to be defined, and suggest the respective Autoconf
1971 * tests/fort1.test: New test.
1972 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1974 * tests/ext.test: Add extensions f95, F90, F95.
1976 2006-08-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1978 For PR automake/500:
1979 * automake.in (handle_compile) <$default_includes>: Do not output
1980 the same -I twice. Use @am__isrc@ instead of ` -I$(srcdir)'.
1981 * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
1982 non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
1983 * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
1984 and non-VPATH builds.
1986 2006-08-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1988 * doc/automake.texi, lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix some typos.

2016 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Typo in previous patch.
2018 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fine-tune the "Unescaped @"
2019 check so it doesn't complain about the '@ 's in node "Standard
2020 Directory Variables".

2025 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Prefix mkdir_p with
2026 $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.
2028 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2030 * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
2031 ylwrap. Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
2032 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
2033 (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always
2035 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs, Yacc and Lex): Update the
2036 documentation of ylwrap.

2047 lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
2048 lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
2049 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
2050 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
2051 mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
2052 * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
2055 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
2056 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to
2057 -I m4. Running aclocal during the rebuild rules will fail
2058 if the default acdir does not exist.
2060 * NEWS, configure.ac, m4/init.m4, m4/lispdir.m4, m4/mkdirp.m4:
2061 Require Autoconf 2.60 instead of some intermediate development
2064 * doc/automake.texi (Standard Directory Variables): Fix multitable

2068 2006-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2070 * doc/automake.texi: Fix some typos in the introduction,
2071 adjust some spacing; spell `GNU Build System' consistently.

2075 (DESTDIR): Fix example.
2077 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

2097 * automake.in: Register "Unified Parallel C" as language.
2098 (lang_upc_rewrite): New function.
2099 (resolve_linker): Consider UPCLINK.
2100 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest
2101 AM_PROG_UPC for UPC and UPCFLAGS.
2102 * m4/upc.m4: New file.
2103 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Add UPC case.
2104 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add upc.m4.
2105 * doc/automake.texi (Unified Parallel C Support): New node.
2106 (Public macros): Mention AM_PROG_UPC.
2107 (Program and Library Variables, Flag Variables Ordering):
2109 * tests/upc.test, tests/upc2.test, tests/upc3.test: New file.
2110 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
2111 * tests/ext.test: Also test upc files.
2113 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2115 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
2117 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
2118 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
2119 other built scripts.
2121 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
2122 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
2123 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
2124 * tests/init.test: New file.
2125 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2127 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2129 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
2130 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
2131 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
2132 `make distdir' instead.
2134 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2136 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
2137 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
2138 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
2140 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
2141 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
2142 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
2143 Report from Bas Wijnen.
2144 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
2145 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2147 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
2148 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
2149 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
2150 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
2151 if we cannot create this file.
2152 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
2153 (unlink_tmp): New function.
2154 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
2156 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2158 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
2159 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
2160 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
2161 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
2163 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
2164 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
2166 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
2168 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2170 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
2171 can install only one file at a time.
2172 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
2173 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
2174 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
2175 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
2176 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
2177 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
2178 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
2179 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
2180 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
2181 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
2182 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
2183 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
2184 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
2185 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
2186 intermediate directories; this is safer.
2187 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
2188 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
2189 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
2190 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
2191 traditional implementations.
2193 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2195 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
2197 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2199 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
2200 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
2201 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
2203 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2204 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2206 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
2207 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
2208 computed by config.status.
2209 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
2210 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
2213 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
2214 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2216 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
2217 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
2218 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2220 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2222 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
2224 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2226 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
2228 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2229 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2231 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
2232 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
2233 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
2234 Fix some comment typos.
2236 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2238 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
2239 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
2240 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
2242 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
2245 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
2246 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
2247 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
2248 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
2249 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
2251 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
2253 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
2255 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
2256 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
2258 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
2259 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
2260 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
2263 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
2265 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
2267 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
2269 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
2270 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
2271 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
2273 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2275 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
2276 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
2277 directory component.
2278 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
2280 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
2281 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
2282 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
2284 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2286 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
2287 New upstream versions.
2289 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2291 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
2292 repository, they use SVN now.
2294 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
2296 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
2297 savannah.nongnu.org.
2299 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2301 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
2302 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2303 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
2305 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2307 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
2308 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
2309 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
2310 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
2311 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
2312 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
2313 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
2315 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2317 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
2319 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
2320 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
2322 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
2323 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
2325 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
2326 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
2327 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
2328 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
2329 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
2331 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
2333 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
2335 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
2336 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
2337 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
2340 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
2341 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
2344 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
2345 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
2346 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
2348 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2350 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
2351 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
2353 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
2356 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
2357 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
2360 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
2361 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
2362 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
2364 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
2365 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
2366 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
2367 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
2369 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
2370 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
2371 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
2373 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
2374 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
2375 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
2378 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
2379 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
2380 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
2383 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
2384 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
2385 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
2388 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
2389 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
2390 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
2391 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

2695 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>

2700 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2702 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',

2728 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
2729 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
2730 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it

2795 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
2796 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
2797 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
2798 if the usual candidates show up.

2852 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):

2854 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
2855 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.

2877 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
2878 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
2879 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
2880 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
2881 the items appended to the variable is preserved.

2889 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
2891 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
2892 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
2893 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
2894 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
2895 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
2897 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

3155 tests/yaccvpath.test: Update FSF postal mail address.
3157 * tests/cxxnoc.test: Adjust grep pattern for CC, because CVS
3158 Autoconf currently defines a CCC variable.

3178 subdir-objects and an invocation of AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR.
3180 2005-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3182 * doc/automake.texi (Dist): Correct English.
3184 2005-03-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>

3191 2005-03-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3193 * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Use xmldir instead of htmldir as
3194 example, since the GCS now define htmldir.
3195 (Auxiliary Programs): Mention config-ml.in and symlink-tree.
3196 Give a URL for texinfo.tex.
3197 (Public macros): Sort alphabetically, and move obsolete macros...
