72 2008-12-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
74 Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
75 Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
76 containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play
77 well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
78 as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
79 generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
80 This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
81 but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
82 * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
83 page due to missing help2man.
84 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true
85 if this makefile deals with man pages.

87 check that no man page in $(MANS) contains the replacement text

388 functions. They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and
389 to restore a Location from a thread queue. The API is

397 (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
398 messages or backtrace output.
399 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
400 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
401 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
402 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
403 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing

409 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as

412 input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
413 ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.

415 absence of --add-missing races).

425 factored out from main.
426 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads

457 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
458 using set_dir_cache_file.
460 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
461 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
462 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
463 as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
464 enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.

502 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
503 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort

626 Remove unneeded per-rule *INSTALL variables.

650 (Install): Mention multi-file install.
651 * NEWS: Expand on the issue, list some more user-visible
654 Install nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES before bin_PROGRAMS.
655 * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
656 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
657 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.
658 * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.
660 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
661 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
662 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
663 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
664 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
665 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
666 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
667 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
668 passed to libtool in one invocation.
669 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not
670 reorder libraries upon installation. Remove spurious empty
672 * tests/ltorder.test: New test.

675 Fix -rpath arguments for nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES.
676 * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): New hash %instsubdirs to
677 track the dirname of nobase ltlibraries, and tack it onto the
678 end of the -rpath argument. Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
679 installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.

693 `.so' man page links to the versioned pages.

718 Multi-file install for PROGRAMS.
719 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Allow to install
720 several programs with one install invocation, when not using
721 libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
722 create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a
723 constant number of times in the fast path; uses awk and sed also
725 (%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
728 Enhance cleaning of programs in libtool mode.

799 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
801 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
802 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
803 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
804 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
805 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
806 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
807 lower the limit to 40, too.
808 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
809 (am__base_list): New macro.
810 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
811 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)

814 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
816 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
817 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
818 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
819 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
820 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
821 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
822 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.

824 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.

1035 2008-09-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1037 Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
1038 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
1039 from output for comparison.
1041 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
1042 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
1043 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
1044 relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted
1046 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fix current check for
1047 $(am__cd) within backquotes a bit. Add new check for `cd' to a

1058 Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
1059 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
1060 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
1061 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
1062 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.
1064 2008-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1066 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).

1068 first argument of `enable' or `disable', setting the default.
1069 * doc/automake.texi (Optional, maintainer-mode): Document.

1086 2008-08-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1088 Fix rebuilding of removed subdir/Makefile.in files.
1089 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%) [?!TOPDIR_P?]: If
1090 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
1091 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.
1092 * tests/remake6.test, tests/remake7.test: New tests.
1093 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1094 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1095 Report and initial patch by Ilya N. Golubev.
1097 2008-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1099 * tests/notrans.test: Use multiple man files of each type.

1119 2008-06-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1121 Introduce macro $(am__mv) to facilitate 'libtool --dry-run'.
1122 * lib/am/depend.am (am__mv): New macro, set to 'mv -f'.
1123 * lib/am/depend2.am: Use throughout to move the temporary
1124 depfile *.Tpo to its final destination *.Po.
1126 2008-06-18 Rafael Espindola <espindola@google.com>

1132 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): New variable.
1133 (am__nobase_list): Use it.
1135 Fix conditional rules competing with config.status rules.
1136 * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the
1137 conditional config.status rule.
1138 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
1140 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
1141 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
1142 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
1143 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
1144 (handle_configure) <CONFIG_CLEAN_VPATH_FILES>: New variable, for
1145 links where source and dest are equal.
1146 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Remove, if build tree not

1204 Check that m4 quotation is done consistently.

1217 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1219 2008-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1221 * doc/automake.texi (@ovar): New macro, from autoconf.texi.
1223 Suggestion by Eric Blake.
1225 2008-03-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1227 * lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.

1238 (fetch): Pull config.guess and config.sub from git repo now.
1240 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
1241 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.
1242 (xsystem_hint): New function, like xsystem but allows to pass
1245 2008-03-11 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>

1252 Document notrans_ prefix.
1254 * tests/notrans.test: New test.

1259 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1261 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
1262 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
1263 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
1264 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
1265 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
1266 a problem, it should be revisited.
1268 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
1269 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
1270 files keyed by their target directory.
1271 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
1272 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
1273 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
1274 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
1275 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
1276 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
1277 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
1278 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
1280 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
1281 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
1282 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
1283 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
1284 a list for byte compilation after installation.
1285 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
1286 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
1287 to install multiple files at once.
1289 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1291 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1293 Require unreleased Autoconf for fixed AC_PROG_INSTALL.
1294 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump AC_PREREQ to 2.61-341,
1296 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
1297 failure early and provide a sensible error message.
1299 Drop usage of obsolete macros AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
1300 * tests/ansi4.test: Drop AC_OBJEXT and AC_EXEEXT.
1301 * tests/ansi6.test: Likewise.

1316 Report by Younes Younes.
1318 2008-02-27 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
1320 * doc/automake.texi (wildcards): Improve "Why doesn't Automake
1321 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
1323 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1325 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
1326 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
1327 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
1328 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
1329 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
1330 setting MAKE to test gmake.
1331 Report by Patrick Welche.
1333 2008-02-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1336 * m4/options.m4 (_AM_SET_OPTIONS): Use m4_foreach_w instead of
1337 obsolete AC_FOREACH.

1344 2008-02-05 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1348 2008-02-05 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
1350 * doc/automake.texi (CVS): configure.ac will appear newer, not
1351 older, than configure. Use `lexical' instead of `alphabetical'.
1353 2008-01-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1355 * tests/man3.test: Avoid `make VAR=value'.
1357 * tests/subst3.test: New test.
1358 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1360 * tests/instsh2.test: Split off testing of `install-sh -C' ...

1976 Use it instead of setting posix_glob inline.
1977 (posix_glob): Use '?'/''/: instead of ''/yes/no, for convenience.

1984 name is more accurate. All uses changed.

2005 2006-12-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2007 Simplify install-sh and its test. This shouldn't change any behavior.
2008 (This patch is a subset of the patch proposed in
2009 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-10/msg00077.html>.)
2010 * lib/install-sh (usage): Use usual GNU style.
2011 (dstarg): Rename as...
2012 (dst_arg): this for consistency.
2013 Simplify quoting of assignments.
2015 Don't use '\' to continue commands: && suffices.

2200 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
2201 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
2202 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
2203 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
2204 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
2205 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
2206 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.

2238 against currently running test for the first and last element
2239 of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
2240 on these words, too.

2248 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
2249 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).

2416 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
2417 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
2418 `make distdir' instead.
2420 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2422 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
2423 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
2424 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
2426 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
2427 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
2428 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
2429 Report from Bas Wijnen.
2430 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
2431 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2433 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
2434 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
2435 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
2436 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
2437 if we cannot create this file.
2438 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
2439 (unlink_tmp): New function.
2440 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
2442 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2444 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
2445 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
2446 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
2447 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
2449 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
2450 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
2452 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
2454 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2456 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
2457 can install only one file at a time.
2458 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
2459 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
2460 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
2461 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
2462 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
2463 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
2464 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
2465 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
2466 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
2467 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
2468 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
2469 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
2470 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
2471 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
2472 intermediate directories; this is safer.
2473 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
2474 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
2475 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
2476 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
2477 traditional implementations.
2479 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2481 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
2483 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2485 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
2486 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
2487 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
2489 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2490 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2492 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
2493 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
2494 computed by config.status.
2495 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
2496 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
2499 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
2500 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2502 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
2503 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
2504 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2506 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2508 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
2510 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2512 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
2514 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2515 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2517 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
2518 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
2519 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
2520 Fix some comment typos.
2522 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2524 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
2525 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
2526 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
2528 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
2531 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
2532 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
2533 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
2534 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
2535 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
2537 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
2539 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
2541 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
2542 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
2544 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
2545 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
2546 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
2549 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
2551 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
2553 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
2555 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
2556 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
2557 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
2559 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2561 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
2562 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
2563 directory component.
2564 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
2566 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
2567 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
2568 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
2570 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2572 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
2573 New upstream versions.
2575 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2577 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
2578 repository, they use SVN now.
2580 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
2582 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
2583 savannah.nongnu.org.
2585 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2587 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
2588 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2589 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
2591 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2593 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
2594 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
2595 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
2596 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
2597 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
2598 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
2599 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
2601 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2603 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
2605 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
2606 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
2608 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
2609 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
2611 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
2612 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
2613 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
2614 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
2615 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
2617 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
2619 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
2621 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
2622 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
2623 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
2626 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
2627 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
2630 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
2631 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
2632 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
2634 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2636 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
2637 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
2639 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
2642 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
2643 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
2646 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
2647 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
2648 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
2650 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
2651 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
2652 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
2653 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
2655 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
2656 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
2657 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
2659 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
2660 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
2661 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
2664 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
2665 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
2666 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
2669 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
2670 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
2671 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
2674 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
2675 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
2676 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
2677 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2679 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
2680 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
2681 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
2682 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
2683 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
2684 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
2687 2006-04-26 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org> (tiny change)
2689 * doc/automake.texi (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Fix typo.
2691 2006-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2693 * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname.
2695 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2697 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
2698 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
2699 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
2700 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
2702 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2704 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
2705 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
2706 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
2707 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
2708 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
2709 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
2710 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
2711 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

2714 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2716 * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
2717 failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
2718 Report from Paul Lunau.
2719 * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.
2722 2006-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2724 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Match XFAIL_TESTS delimited by
2725 TABs as well as spaces. Fixes PR automake/490.
2726 * tests/check6.test: New test.
2727 * tests/Makefile.am, THANKS: Update.
2728 Report from Diab Jerius <djerius@cfa.harvard.edu>.
2730 2006-04-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2732 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (find_file): Fix a typo in the
2733 description; eliminate the duplicate error message.
2734 * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): `Invoking Automake' is the name
2735 of the usage node for `automake'

2741 * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Require Autoconf 2.59c,

2751 (_gen_varname): Use _hash_values, and return a flag indicating whether
2752 the variable name was generated or reused.

2754 are reused, and try to reuse the variable being transformed.
2755 * tests/check2.test: Make sure TESTS hasn't been redefined.

2787 * aclocal.in ($m4_include_rx): Do not recognize `include', and
2788 adjust scan_configure_dep and scan_file accordingly.
2789 (scan_configure_dep): Do not search white lines.
2790 (scan_file): Strip comments from current line after checking
2791 for serial, so that aclocal does not trip on `m4_include' macros
2792 in comments. Report from Mike Frysinger.
2793 * tests/acloca21.test: New file.

2849 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Unlink `aclocal.m4' before
2850 writing into it, to break a symlinked file.

2856 Allow package trees (packages with subpackages) to share
2857 common distributed auxiliary files (and directories) that
2858 reside within a subpackage.
2860 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir %?TOPDIR_P%): Do not fail if
2861 `$(distdir)' already exists.

2928 2006-01-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2930 * lib/install-sh (dstdir): Don't use semicolons inside { } in
2931 sed scripts, as Posix says it's not portable.
2932 * lib/missing (file): Likewise.
2933 * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Likewise.
2934 * tests/comment7.test, tests/comment9.test, tests/confh.test: Likewise

2947 2006-01-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2949 * lib/am/texinfos.am (dist-info): Tighten glob to avoid unwanted
2950 extra files in distribution. Reported by Vincent Lefevre.
2952 2006-01-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2954 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
2955 Mention the file extensions that usually appear in _DEPENDENCIES,

2961 * automake.in ($gen_copyright, version): Likewise.
2962 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal, version): Likewise.

2969 (fill_dist_dirs): New function extracted from handle_dist.
2970 (handle_dist, handle_configure): Use fill_dist_dirs.
2971 * tests/distdir.test: Test for cases where $(top_srcdir) or
2972 $(srcdir) appear in EXTRA_DIST. Report from Sander Niemeijer.
2974 2006-01-05 Zack Weinberg <zackw@panix.com>
2975 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2977 * lib/depcomp: Add 'ia64hp' dependency style.
2978 Zack's original patch was contributed to GCC on 2005-06-13.
2981 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2983 * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that
2984 the code is portable to both POSIX and pre-POSIX shells.
2986 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2988 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',
2989 suggested by Eric Blake.
2991 2005-10-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2993 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Typo.
2994 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (transform_variable_recursively): Typo
2997 2005-10-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2999 * ChangeLog.03, automake.in, tests/overrid.test: Typos.
3001 2005-10-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3003 * tests/nobase.test: Exercise previous patch.
3005 2005-10-03 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com> (tiny change)
3007 * lib/am/distdir.am: Remove $(SHELL) when calling install_sh

3011 2005-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3013 * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
3014 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
3015 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
3016 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
3017 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
3019 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
3021 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3023 * automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.

3032 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (variable_value): Do not read the TRUE
3033 value of a conditionally defined variable.
3034 Report from Juergen Leising.
3036 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
3037 $(MAKE) invocations.
3038 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
3040 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
3041 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
3042 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
3043 Report from Stepan Kasal.
3045 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
3046 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
3048 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3050 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
3051 the $(infodir) exists.
3053 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3055 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
3057 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3059 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
3060 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
3062 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
3063 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
3064 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
3065 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
3066 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
3067 for missing files that can be installed.
3068 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
3070 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3072 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
3073 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
3075 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
3076 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
3077 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
3079 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3081 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
3082 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
3083 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
3084 if the usual candidates show up.
3086 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3088 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
3090 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

3095 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3097 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
3098 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
3100 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3102 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
3103 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
3105 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
3107 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
3108 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
3111 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3113 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
3114 fix an underful hbox.
3115 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
3116 New upstream versions.
3118 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3120 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
3122 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3124 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
3125 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
3126 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
3127 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
3128 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
3130 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
3132 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
3133 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
3134 Report from Harald Dunkel.
3136 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
3138 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
3139 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
3140 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
3141 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
3143 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3145 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
3146 `mkdir -p' does not work.
3147 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
3148 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
3149 Report from Noah Friedman.
3151 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
3152 Report from Karl Berry.
3154 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3155 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3157 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
3158 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
3159 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
3161 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3163 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
3164 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
3165 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
3166 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
3167 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
3168 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
3169 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
3170 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
3171 Report from Ed Hartnett.
3173 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3175 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
3177 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
3178 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
3179 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
3180 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
3181 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
3183 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3185 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
3186 Fix redirections in previous patch.
3188 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

3191 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
3192 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
3193 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
3194 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
3195 Report from Bob Proulx.
3197 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
3199 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
3201 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
3203 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3205 Fix PR automake/461:
3206 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
3207 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
3208 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
3209 Report from Tom Tromey.
