10 Don't let an envvar setting of "$fail" cause build failure.
11 Without this change, in a project using an automake-generated
12 Makefile, "make fail=anything" would fail inappropriately,
13 due to the `test -z "$$fail"' at the end of this emitted rule:
14 * lib/am/subdirs.am ($(RECURSIVE_TARGETS)): Initialize "fail=" to keep
15 an envvar setting of that variable from causing unwarranted failure.
16 ($(RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS)): Likewise.
17 * tests/subdir10.test: New test.
18 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
20 2009-10-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
22 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
23 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub,
24 lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
26 Doc and comment typos.
27 * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): Fix typo in comment.
28 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
29 * tests/lisp5.test: Likewise.
30 * doc/automake.texi (Usage of Conditionals): Fix typo.
32 2009-10-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
34 Fix race condition in werror2.test due to sanity sleep change.
35 * tests/werror2.test: Generate Makefile.in before configure so
36 that a Makefile.am update after configure has run is guaranteed
37 to be newer than Makefile.in.
38 * tests/subdir5.test: Document why this test does not need to be
40 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise.
42 Improve description of the various *LINK variables.
43 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): _LINK also
44 receives libraries to link against. _LINK may be generated.
45 (Program Variables): Document reasons when per-target _LINK is
47 (How the Linker is Chosen): Document how a per-target _LINK
48 variable and per-target link flags override linker selection.
50 Report by Dave Korn against gcc/libstdc++-v3.
52 Allow variable override of, rather than by, silent variables.
53 When overriding variables, check the VAR_SILENT status of the
54 old condition, not the new one: we allow non-silent overrides
55 of silent variables (these do not hit ordering bugs in the
56 automake output), but there is no use case for doing so the
57 other way round. Fixes conditional overrides of variables
58 annotated AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE in configure.ac.
59 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_check_ambiguous_condition): Check
60 for VAR_SILENT in $ambig_cond not $cond.
61 * tests/cond44.test, tests/cond45.test: New tests, analogous to
62 cond23.test and cond24.test.
63 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
64 Spotted originally in binutils/bfd.
66 Fix `make clean check' for the Automake package.
67 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add `.' before `tests',
68 so that Config.pm is built first.
70 Fix in-tree `recheck' after failed test that runs `check'.
71 If a test like pr401b-p.test fails for some reason, a `make
72 recheck' would cause another reason for failure because it sets
73 AM_MAKEFLAGS which gets propagated into the test and causes its
75 * tests/defs.in: Also unset AM_MAKEFLAGS.
77 2009-10-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
79 Updated code enabling Bourne-compatibility in test scripts.
80 * tests/defs.in: updated the code enabling Bourne-compatibility
81 mode in the shell (now it's copied from autoconf 2.64).
83 Avoid leaking TEST_LOG_COMPILER in environment of test scripts.
84 * tests/defs.in: Unset variable `TEST_LOG_COMPILER'.
86 2009-10-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
88 Testsuite: do not use `chmod -R' when cleaning up.
89 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Do not use `chmod -R' on
90 the test directories, as that may change or try to change the mode
91 of installed files: the test directory may contain symlinks to
92 ltmain.sh files from a Libtool installation, and Solaris `chmod -R'
93 touches symlink targets. Instead, use the cleanup strategy used
94 in distdir.am (which is also employed in tests/defs.in).

97 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
99 Fix 'compile' script to not call mv when target equals source.
100 * lib/compile: Don't attempt to move the generated file to its
101 target destination when it is already at the target destination.
102 Avoids an mv failure with subdir-objects.
103 * tests/ccnoco3.test: New test.
104 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
106 2009-10-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> (tiny change)
108 Fix recommended way to run automake's test scripts with Zsh.
109 * tests/README (Supported shells): Changed the recommended way
110 to run automake's test scripts with Zsh. Now we tell to use
111 the Zsh's command line option `-o no_function_argzero', not
112 `--no-function-argzero', since the latter does not work with

117 Fix link to "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" paper.

120 2009-09-11 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org> (tiny patch)
122 Fix outdated reference to sh-utils in the manual.
123 * doc/automake.texi (Options): The reference to `sh-utils'
124 should be to `coreutils'.
126 2009-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
128 Avoid sleeping for one second most of the time in sanity check.
129 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Try sanity check first without
130 sleeping for a second, and only if that failed, sleep and try
131 again, to avoid the delay in the common case of a configure
132 script that is older than a second, or a system with sub-second
133 time stamp granularity.
134 Report and different patch by Jim Meyering.
136 2009-09-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> (tiny change)
138 tests/README: warn about zsh incompatibilities.
139 * tests/README (User interface, Getting details from failures):
140 Explicitly state that every test is a "shell script", not just
141 a "script", and that it's run by `/bin/sh' by default.
142 * tests/README (User interface, Supported shells): New subsection,
143 telling about expected portability of the automake test scripts,
144 describing a zsh incompatibility (w.r.t. $0), and a workaround to
145 it (with the `--no-function-argzero' option).
147 testsuite: fix a minor glitch.
148 * tests/defs.in (exit trap): Use `$me', not `$as_me', as the
149 name of the current test (used in error messages).
152 2009-07-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
154 manual: fix a trivial grammar error.

159 AM_PROG_GCJ: use AC_CHECK_TOOLS for gcj, for cross compilation.
160 * m4/gcj.m4 (AM_PROG_GCJ): Use AC_CHECK_TOOLS, rather than
161 AC_CHECK_PROGS, when searching for `gcj'.

173 2009-05-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
175 parallel-tests: avoid GNU make 3.80 substitution bug.
176 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (check-TESTS): Remove any
177 `.log' entries from `$(TEST_LOGS)' even if the list is nonempty,
178 to work around GNU make 3.80 substitution reference issue with
179 trailing white space in the variable.
180 * tests/parallel-tests10.test: New test.

188 testsuite: unset installation directory variables.
189 * tests/defs.in: Before test execution, be sure to unset all
190 installation directory variables, so they cannot have an effect
191 on a `make -e install' command within a test.
192 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
194 testsuite: do not change the mode of installed Libtool files.
195 * tests/defs.in: Do not use `chmod -R' on the test directory, as
196 that may change or try to change the mode of installed files:
197 the test directory may contain symlinks to ltmain.sh files from
198 a Libtool installation, and Solaris `chmod -R' touches symlink
199 targets. Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in distdir.am.
201 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
203 testsuite: do not fail in cleanup code.
204 * tests/defs.in: Turn off errexit in the cleanup trap, to avoid
205 a test failure due to a nonzero command.
207 Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
209 2009-05-23 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com>
211 python: do not install in system directories on Darwin 9.
212 On Darwin 9, get_python_lib returns a path below `/Library/Python'
213 regardless of the `prefix' argument it was passed, causing `make
214 install' to target the system directories regardless of `--prefix'
215 argument used. Work around this Darwin bug by ignoring the result
216 of get_python_lib if it points outside of the passed prefix, and
217 the prefix was not a system directory.
218 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): If the prefix does not match the
219 initial portion of the pythondir returned by get_python_lib, then
220 ignore it unless the configured prefix is `/usr' or starts with
221 `/System'. Fixes instmany-python.test failure on Mac OS X 10.5.7.
224 2009-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
226 Clarify how to enable `silent-rules' and other global options.
227 * doc/automake.texi (Options): When introducing options, be more
228 careful to note that not all of them can be specified in
229 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS statements, and that some do not make sense in
230 subdirectories. Note more prominently that `silent-rules' can
231 only be specified in configure.ac.
232 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Improve error
233 message for `silent-rules', `tar-v7', `tar-ustar', `tar-pax'
234 options specified in Makefile.am files.

260 Fix test failure when pkg.m4 is not found, only pkg-config.
261 * tests/vala5.test: Update comment, this test is not expected to
262 fail any more. Require valac version 0.7.0. Skip if configure
263 fails, could be due to unexpanded PKG_CHECK_MODULES or too old
265 Report by Simon Josefsson.

274 Fix maintainer-check failures.
275 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Use `$(am__cd)' instead
277 * tests/vala2.test: Use `rm -f' instead of `rm'.
279 Revert Automake license to GPLv2+.
280 Automake will move to GPLv3+ once the Exception statement has
281 been rewritten to use the new GPLv3 exception language. This
282 change does not impact the COPYING file that may be installed
283 by `automake --add-missing'.
284 * COPYING: Revert to GPLv2. All uses changed.
287 Rewrite NEWS for 1.11.
288 * NEWS: Rewrite, merging 1.10b and 1.10c entries.
290 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
291 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from
294 Update release statistics, improve release-stats rule.
295 * Makefile.am (release-stats): Output stderr of pstops in
296 addition to catching it, for better debugging.
297 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.10.2.
299 Cope with parallel BSD make -jN semantics.
300 When BSD `make -jN' is used without `-B' which enables backwards
301 compatible semantics, it may reuse the same shell for several
302 commands within a rule; so ensure we do not leave it in a
303 different directory, nor `exit 0' early in a multi-command rule.
304 * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): After running `distcleancheck',
305 change back to original working directory.
306 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_HIN%): Run autoheader in a
308 * lib/am/mans.am (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Do not `exit 0' early
309 in a rule that consists of several shell invocations. Parallel
310 NetBSD `make -jN' without `-B' will use only one shell for all
311 commands, but won't respawn one after `exit 0'. Fixes
312 notrans.test failure.
313 * tests/makej2.test: New test.
314 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

322 Let AM_PATH_PYTHON honor python's idea about the site directory.
323 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): When computing pythondir and
324 pyexecdir, pass the expanded prefix resp. exec_prefix as `prefix'
325 to get_python_lib, so python can determine the name of the site
326 directory depending on the install location. Afterwards, replace
327 the directory names with the unexpanded values of $PYTHON_PREFIX
328 resp. $PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX again, to allow override according to
329 the documentation. Fixes site directory computation for Debian
330 and Ubuntu (`dist-packages' for a prefix of `/usr' or `/usr/local',
331 `site-packages' elsewhere).

336 Vala: for now, require GNU make.

342 2009-05-17 Jürg Billeter <j@bitron.ch>
344 Vala: Use $(srcdir) in rebuild rules.
345 valac is always run in srcdir as the generated files are distributed.
346 So srcdir needs to be taken into account in the rebuild rules to not
347 wrongly trigger a rebuild in the wrong directory.
348 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Rebuild files in
350 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules from VPATH build.
352 Vala: Add and test rebuild rules for generated header and vapi files.
353 valac will generate additional files when using, for example, -H in
354 VALAFLAGS. We need to recognize these options and add appropriate
355 rebuild rules to fix parallel build.
356 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Recognize -H, -h,
357 --header, --internal-header, --vapi, --internal-api, --gir flags
358 to valac and rebuild rules for generated headers; distribute
359 and maintainer-clean them.

365 Vala: Fix build when using per-target VALAFLAGS.
366 This does not yet implement full per-target support for VALAFLAGS,
367 however, this change at least fixes building when there is only one
368 target per source file, which is the most common situation.
369 * automake.in: Remove `VALAFLAGS' from `flags' in language struct.
370 (lang_vala_finish_target): Handle `*_VALAFLAGS rewriting' manually
371 here; check `VALAFLAGS' user variables.
372 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove vala5.test.
373 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Document per-target flag
376 2009-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
379 Document some formatting restrictions for Makefile.am files.
380 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation, Usage of Conditionals):
381 Variable assignments should not be indented by TABs, rule commands
382 should. Conditional keyword statements should not be indented.
386 2009-05-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

389 * lib/am/check.am, lib/am/check2.am, lib/am/distdir.am,
390 lib/am/program.am, lib/am/tags.am: Fix copyright years.
392 distdir: avoid duplicate `find' traversal with subpackages.
393 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir) [%?SUBDIRS%]: When recursing, set
395 [%?TOPDIR_P%]: When `$(am__skip_mode_fix)' is set, avoid tree
397 * tests/subpkg4.test: New test, to ensure that we still walk the
398 whole tree while fixing permissions. We don't ensure it is
400 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
402 Disable test cleanup trap with OSF1/Tru64 sh.
403 * configure.ac: Test whether /bin/sh has working 'set -e'
404 in conjunction with an exit trap. Set $am_cv_sh_errexit_works
405 accordingly, substitute sh_errexit_works, and warn about
406 leftover test directories with broken shells like Tru64 /bin/sh.
407 * tests/defs.in: Do not install any traps with broken shells.

416 by marking this phony. For consistency, rename from ...
417 (check-clean-local): ... this.

460 to portably transport the TEST_LOGS settings through the
461 recursive `make' invocations. Fixes parallel-tests9.test
462 failure with Solaris make.
463 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Also ensure that the test
464 summary is correct for `recheck'.

484 testsuite: minor w32 fixes.
485 * tests/depend5.test: Don't fail if the system or file system
486 cannot handle weird characters, instead just try a few.
487 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Really wait until the serial test
488 has finished, before letting the cleanup trap do its work.
489 Report by Bruno Haible.
491 Avoid nonportable `./FILE' instead of `FILE' in test.
492 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not use `$(top_builddir)/sub/libname.la'
493 in *_LDADD entry if `$(top_builddir)' is `.'. Fixes test failure
494 with parallel NetBSD make.
496 Detect make `include' style also with parallel non-GNU make.
497 Parallel NetBSD make outputs `--- $target ---' messages,
498 parallel HP-UX make outputs `Making target"$target"'. Just
499 ignore all additional output for the include test.
500 * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Ignore additional output
501 produced by `make' to relax `include' style detection.
503 manual: add FAQ `Debugging Make Rules'.
504 * doc/automake.texi (Debugging Make Rules): New FAQ section.
505 (Top, FAQ): Adjust menus, and capitalization of the description
506 of the `Hard-Coded Install Paths' node.
507 (Multiple Outputs): Add comment to restore font-lock for vim.
508 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
510 Let XFile::lock warn and fail with parallel non-GNU make, too.
511 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Also match `-j' for parallel BSD
512 make, and `-P' for parallel HP-UX make.
514 Fix AM_PROG_VALAC version requirement detection.
515 * m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Remove `Vala ' from valac
516 --version string before comparing versions.
517 * tests/vala2.test: Require version 0.7.0 for the test.
518 Fixes failures of vala2.test and vala3.test with older valac.
520 Correctly treat all assignments with bogus trailing comments.
521 Before this patch, automake would silently fail to diagnose and
522 to copy into the output those variable assignments which are
523 preceded by a comment, and end in backslash newline comment.
524 * automake.in (read_am_file): When determining whether an
525 escaped newline followed by a comment is an error, correctly use
526 the parser state, not the contents of a saved comment, which
527 could still be carried over from a comment before an assignment.
529 * tests/commen11.test: New test.

539 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
541 bin_PROGRAMS = $(EXTRA_PROGRAMS) should work.
542 * automake.in (am_install_var): For `PROGRAMS' primary, strip
543 `$(EXEEXT)' here already, so the name uniquifying works even
544 when we look at names repeatedly, with inconsistent executable
545 extension; through variable references, we might have added
546 the extension ourselves earlier.
547 (handle_programs): No need to strip `$(EXEEXT)' here any more.

631 testsuite: do not fail on systems without read permissions.
632 * tests/instfail-info.test: Do not use the `non-root'

643 testsuite: parallel make fixes.
644 This patch fixes a couple of testsuite bugs exposed with
645 `MAKE=make\ -jN make check'.
646 * tests/libtoo10.test: Do not run `clean' in same $MAKE
647 invocation as `all check'. Fixes test failure with parallel
649 * tests/nobase.test: Be sure to create a directory before
650 creating files in it. Fixes test failure with MAKE=`make -jN'
651 for NetBSD make. This issue is hidden with parallel GNU make
652 due to its parallel breadth first update order.
653 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Skip if $MAKE contains `-j',
654 GNU make will use the environment variable $MAKE for recursion
655 and thus run in parallel even if `$MAKE -j1' was used on the
656 command line in the test. Also, after running the test proper,
657 wait long enough so that background jobs have finished and there
658 are no open files left when the cleanup code runs.
660 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
662 silent-rules reorganization, --enable-silent-rules switch.
663 This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default
664 verbosity. Since configure now needs to know whether the
665 `silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be
666 set within AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, or with a new AM_SILENT_RULES macro
667 but not any more through AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or the automake
668 command line option `--silent-rules'.
669 * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define the default verbose
670 variable in terms of `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'.
671 (handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.
672 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'. If seen,
673 enable global `silent-rules' option.
674 (usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'.
675 (parse_arguments): Do not accept `--silent-rules'.
676 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Overhaul. Document
677 AM_SILENT_RULES, --enable-silent-rules, --disable-silent-rules,
678 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY. Show an example for user-added variables
679 for less verbose output.
680 (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'.
681 (Public Macros): Document `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
683 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
684 `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac.
685 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If the `silent-rules' option
686 was enabled, require `AM_SILENT_RULES'; move AM_BACKSLASH
687 initialization to ...
688 * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): ... this new file, new macro.
689 Deal with `--enable-silent-rules' switch; define
690 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.
691 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add silent.m4.
692 * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use
694 * tests/flavor.test: Remove test for `--silent-rules'.
695 * tests/silent.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
696 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; use `--enable-silent-rules'.
697 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
698 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
699 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
700 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
701 * tests/silent6.test: Likewise. Test `AM_SILENT_RULES' as well
702 as `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([silent-rules])' instead of
704 * tests/silent7.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
705 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; ensure the latter is rejected.
706 Test combinations of --enable-silent-rules and
707 --disable-silent-rules with `make V=0' and `make V=1'.
708 Suggestion for configure-time switch by Bob Friesenhahn.
710 manual: Add note about parallelism and tests ordering.
711 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
712 Dependencies between test logs work for tests with known
713 extensions only. Hint that tests should be prepared to be run
716 Fix maintainer-check failure.
717 * tests/suffix13.test: Use Exit not exit.
719 2009-04-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
721 parallel-tests: more testsuite exposure.
722 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Also test overriding TEST_LOGS and
725 parallel-tests: let VERBOSE=yes output appear before summary.
726 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): In `VERBOSE=yes' mode,
727 output contents of `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' before, rather than after
728 the test suite summary. This ensures that the email address
729 appears near the end of the output; also, the log file already
730 starts with a result summary anyway.
732 parallel-tests: `clean recheck' should not rerun all tests.
733 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-html): Do not rerun all
734 tests if `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' does not exist.
735 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Adjust recheck test.
736 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Adjust recheck-html test.
738 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.

741 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
743 parallel-tests: Fix driver for nonempty executable extension.
744 * automake.in (handle_tests): New substitution `%am__EXEEXT%',
745 defined as 'FALSE' for non-generic rules, or if no programs are
746 built at all. Otherwise, define it as configure conditional.
747 * lib/am/check2.am [%am__EXEEXT%] (%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): New
748 conditional generic rule.
749 * m4/init.m4: Hook an m4_provide of `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' onto
750 Autoconf's `_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT' macro.
751 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' has been provided
752 at `AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE' time, then introduce a conditional
753 `am__EXEEXT', defined to true iff `$EXEEXT' is nonempty.
754 * tests/check5.test: Only match `_EXEEXT_[1-9]' here, to avoid
755 false positives stemming from `@am__EXEEXT_TRUE@'.
758 2009-04-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
760 Fix a couple of $(EXEEXT)-related testsuite failure.
761 * tests/check8.test: Allow executable extensions in test suite

780 2009-04-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
782 Do not remove texinfo outputs upon mostlyclean.
783 * lib/am/texinfos.am: New substitutions %MOSTLYCLEAN%,
785 (clean-aminfo): New target, remove %TEXICLEAN% if nonemtpy,
786 declare phony. Hook this target to ...
787 (clean-am): ... this and ...
788 (?CYGNUS?clean-info): ... this.
789 (maintainer-clean-aminfo): Remove %MAINTCLEAN% if nonempty,
791 (mostlyclean-aminfo): Remove %MOSTLYCLEAN%.
792 * automake.in (handle_texinfo_helper): Return three arrays
793 $MOSTLYCLEAN, $TEXICLEAN, $MAINTCLEAN, instead of one array.
794 Only put LaTeX helper files in $MOSTLYCLEAN, the rest in
796 (handle_texinfo): Accept these, chop off extra newline, and
797 substitute them in `texinfos.am'.
799 * tests/txinfo33.test: New test.
800 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
801 Report by Bruno Haible.
803 2009-04-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
805 testsuite: unset TESTS, TEST_LOGS, to avoid interference.
806 * tests/defs.in: Unset TESTS, TEST_LOGS.
808 testsuite: generate $(parallel_tests) just when needed.
809 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): No need to list
810 $(parallel_tests) here, they can be generated as needed during
811 the test run, following our recommendation in the manual.
813 Remove superfluous line from recheck recheck-html.
814 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Remove superfluous
815 line, introduced bogusly in last commit.

818 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
820 parallel-tests: redo check-html, recheck, recheck-html.
821 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-am): Remove.
822 (recheck-TESTS): Rename to ...
823 (recheck): ... this and rewrite, factored ...
824 (recheck-html): ... with this rule. Pass TEST_LOGS rather than
825 RECHECK_LOGS to `check' and `check-html', respectively, to avoid
826 running outdated tests. Invoking the public macros ensures
827 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time. Do not output errors
828 for tests that were not run yet. If the testsuite has not run
829 at all, run all tests.
830 (check-html): Run `check' target, not `check-TESTS', to ensure
831 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time.
832 (.PHONY, .MAKE, AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Adjust contents.
833 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Expose the check-html and
835 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Expose the recheck issues.
836 Bugs in previous version pointed out by Akim, who already had
837 them fixed in his original version.
839 2009-04-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
841 parallel-tests: LOG_COMPILER for tests without known extension.
842 * automake.in (handle_tests): If we don't match a known
843 extension, define `LOG_COMPILER' as `$(LOG_COMPILE)
844 $(AM_LOG_FLAGS) $(LOG_FLAGS)' and use it as %COMPILE% in check2.
845 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
846 Document it. In the examples, suggest using the AM_*LOG_FLAGS
847 flags in Makefile.am rather than the variables without `AM_'
849 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (AM_PL_LOG_FLAGS): Renamed from
850 (PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... this variable, intended for the user.
851 * tests/parallel-tests7.test: Extend test.
853 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
855 More node renaming in the manual.
856 * doc/automake.texi (Top): Adjust menu to ...
857 (API Versioning): ... this node being renamed from ...

870 Fix testsuite failures due to nonexistent `dirlist' entries.
871 * tests/defs.in: When parsing `$aclocaldir/dirlist', only add
872 existing directories D to aclocal `-I D' flags, as aclocal
873 errors on nonexisting directories.
874 Report and analysis by Andreas Schwab.

884 Avoid test failure due to paranoid TAR_OPTIONS envvar setting.
885 * tests/txinfo18.test: Don't let a TAR_OPTIONS=--keep-old-files
886 environment variable setting cause test failure. Fixed in
889 Use more common spelling in diagnostic: s/canonic/canonical/.
890 * automake.in (check_typos): s/canonic/canonical/.

990 parallel-tests: redo lazy checking: recheck and RECHECK_LOGS.
991 Replace the LAZY_TEST_SUITE API with a simpler yet more powerful
992 one: RECHECK_LOGS specifies those tests which are to be removed
993 in any case before testing. Provide a `recheck' convenience
994 target to set RECHECK_LOGS to all failed and unexpectedly passed
995 tests. Document several ways to limit the set of tests run.
996 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (RECHECK_LOGS): New variable,
997 default to $(TESTS_LOGS).
998 (check-TESTS): Remove $(RECHECK_LOGS) not $(TEST_LOGS). Drop use
1000 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Do not output note about lazy rerun, as
1001 LAZY_TEST_SUITE is gone.
1002 (recheck): New target.
1003 (recheck-am, recheck-TESTS): New internal targets.
1004 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Update @vindex for TESTS and
1005 TEST_LOGS. Replace description of LAZY_TEST_SUITE with a list
1006 of ways the set of tests to be run can be modified. Document
1007 RECHECK_LOGS and the recheck target.
1008 * tests/defs.in: Unset RECHECK_LOGS not LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
1009 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Adjust, replacing LAZY_TEST_SUITE
1010 with corresponding RECHECK_LOGS settings.
1011 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: New tests.
1012 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1013 Suggestion and different implementation by Akim Demaille.
1015 parallel-tests: do not mark check-TESTS as `.MAKE'.
1016 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Remove check-TESTS.
1017 This rule removes files, which should not be executed with BSD
1020 parallel-tests: warn about $(srcdir), $(top_srcdir) in TESTS.
1021 * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn about portability issue
1022 concerning generated TESTS files listed with a `$(srcdir)/'
1023 or `$(top_srcdir)/' prefix.
1024 * doc/automake.texi (TESTS): Document this issue. Mention that
1025 the parallel-tests driver is still experimental.

1037 For test files with extension <ext>, introduce the internal
1038 variable <EXT>_LOG_COMPILE, which expands to
1039 $(<EXT>_LOG_COMPILER) $(AM_<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS) $(<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS).
1040 Turn also the lib/Automake/tests testsuite over to the new
1042 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document `EXT_LOG_COMPILER' and
1044 * lib/am/check2.am: Insert `%COMPILE%' right before test.
1045 * automake.in (handle_tests): Substitute `COMPILE' for check2,
1046 empty for tests without extension, and `$(ext_LOG_COMPILE)' for
1047 extension `ext'. In the latter case, define it from the public
1049 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use `parallel-test' globally.
1050 * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove, not needed here
1052 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Split ...
1053 (PL_LOG_COMPILER, PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... into these new variables.
1054 (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): New variable, initialize to `.pl'.
1055 * tests/parallel-tests7.test: New test.
1056 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1057 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.

1061 parallel-tests: also record logs of SKIPped tests.
1062 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Record
1064 Suggested by Jim Meyering.
1066 Minor optimization in parallel-tests text box creation.
1067 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL-TESTS] (am__text_box): Use only one
1068 awk invocation, rather than several tools, to create a text box.
1069 Suggestion from Akim Demaille.

1105 manual: minor cleanups.
1106 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Adjust spacing in example.
1107 (Mixing Fortran 77 With C and C++): Drop unneeded @page breaks.
1109 Sane (un)install for empty directory variables.
1110 This patch fixes all install and uninstall rules to behave
1111 sanely when $(wheredir) is the empty string, but $(where_HOW) is
1112 nonempty, for all kinds of values of `where' and `HOW'.
1113 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%, uninstall-%DIR%%PRIMARY%):
1114 Do not touch the install tree if the corresponding directory variable
1115 $(%NDIR%dir) is empty.

1137 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1139 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
1141 Ensure that empty directory variables work with empty content variables.
1142 This test ensures that, if both $(wheredir) and $(where_HOW) are
1143 the empty string, then the `install' and `uninstall' rules behave
1144 sanely, for several directory variables `wheredir' and several
1146 * tests/instdir.test: New test.

1160 For PR automake/533:
1161 DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
1162 When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
1163 (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
1164 thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
1165 distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
1166 need to be made writable recursively. Since file modes should
1167 not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'.
1168 * lib/am/distdir.am: Handle this situation.
1169 * tests/distdir.test: Extend test to those cases.
1171 Report by Peter Breitenlohner.
1173 2009-03-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1175 Fix a documentation typo.
1176 * doc/automake.texi (Headers): Clarify the note telling when it's
1177 better not to use noinst_HEADERS.
1179 2009-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1181 Define AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS, for gnulib's GNUmakefile.
1182 This new macro lists all public targets which invoke `make'
1183 recursively, or depend on targets which do so. It allows to
1184 prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
1185 passed on the `make' command line.
1186 * lib/am/distdir.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): New
1188 * lib/am/subdirs.am (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Likewise.

1192 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1194 Fix LAZY_TEST_SUITE handling and $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) recreation.
1195 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Expand `$(TEST_LOGS)' only once
1196 in the rule command, for systems with low command line limits.
1197 Remove $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) even in LAZY_TEST_SUITE mode.
1198 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Always recreate $(TEST_SUITE_LOG). Mention
1199 lazy mode in the summary output.
1200 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Test LAZY_TEST_SUITE semantics.
1202 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1204 Fix parallel-tests with empty $(TESTS) for BSD make.
1205 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Ignore
1206 empty line stemming from empty $(TEST_LOGS), to avoid counting
1208 (check-TESTS): If `$(TESTS)' is empty, override TEST_LOGS to be
1209 empty, rather than `.log', for BSD make.
1210 * tests/parallel-tests6.test: New test.
1211 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1213 Mark check-html and check-TESTS as recursive for BSD make.
1214 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Add check-TESTS
1215 and check-html prerequisites.
1217 Match XFAIL_TESTS correctly with Solaris make.
1218 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS]: VPATH rewriting may have
1219 changed test names, so srcdir needs to be taken into account
1220 explicitly when checking against the list of tests expected
1221 to fail. Fixes spurious FAILures from XFAIL_TESTS.
1223 Use append mode to capture parallel test output.
1224 * tests/lisp8.test: Use append mode for output from `make -j',
1225 to avoid dropped lines.
1226 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
1228 parallel-tests: Fix summary output.
1229 * lib/am/check.am (am__text_box): Fix unportable sed script,
1230 replacing `\n' in the right hand side of an `s' command with
1231 a literal newline. Kudos to Bruno Haible for the newline idea.
1232 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Update test to expose this.
1234 2009-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1236 Overhaul of tests/README.
1237 * tests/README: General overhaul. Mention parallel test suite
1238 execution, the test-suite.log file; document `Exit' vs. `exit',
1239 `defs' vs. `defs-p', the naming of `parallel-tests' tests.
1240 * README: Simplify, point to tests/README.
1242 Documentation for the parallel-tests driver.
1243 * doc/automake.texi (Tests, Options): Document the `parallel-tests'
1244 option, including new features of the test driver.
1247 New tests for `parallel-tests'.
1248 * tests/parallel-tests.test: New file, to expose a bunch of
1249 features of `parallel-tests': VERBOSE, clean, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
1250 test dependencies, DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS.
1251 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: New file, test check-html.
1252 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: New file, test concurrency.

1256 * tests/defs.in: Add a `required' check for rst2html.
1257 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1259 parallel-tests: Ensure backward-compatible semantics.
1260 For each test in Automake's test suite that uses TESTS, generate
1261 an identical one that uses the `parallel-tests' option, for
1262 coverage of backward-compatible functionality.
1263 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: New file, generates distributed
1264 Makefile.am snippet tests/parallel-tests.am to list all tests
1265 that use the TESTS interface but not yet the `parallel-tests'
1266 option, with names mangled to use suffix `-p.test', in ...
1267 (parallel_tests): ... this new make macro.
1268 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/parallel-tests.am)
1269 ($(parallel_tests), defs-p): New rules.
1270 (TESTS): Add check11.test and $(parallel_tests).
1271 (check_SCRIPTS): Add defs-p, $(parallel_tests).
1272 (check-clean-local): Remove `defs-p'.
1273 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute gen-parallel-tests.
1274 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): New variable, remove $(parallel_tests).
1275 * bootstrap: Generate parallel-tests.am.
1276 * tests/check8.test: Check for circular dependencies in rules.
1277 * tests/check11.test: New test, check that SKIPs are not counted
1279 * tests/defs.in: Unset DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS, LAZY_TEST_SUITE,
1280 VERBOSE, so the tests are not influenced by the way our test

1288 Parallel test execution: new option `parallel-tests'.
1289 * automake.in (handle_tests): Set new conditional PARALLEL_TESTS
1290 when reading check.am. Handle option `parallel-tests' and all
1291 its new semantics. Define macros TEST_SUFFIXES, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
1292 TEST_SUITE_HTML, TEST_LOGS, TEST_LOGS_TMP, suffix rules if
1293 applicable, and per-target rules for other tests. Add all log
1294 files to %clean_files at the `MOSTLY_CLEAN' level.
1295 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
1297 * lib/am/check.am [!PARALLEL_TESTS] (check-TESTS): Move existing

1314 (define_verbose_tagvar, handle_options, handle_languages)
1315 (handle_configure, parse_arguments): Rename the `silent' option
1316 to `silent-rules', so it coincides with the `--silent-rules'
1317 command line option; adjust all code and comments.

1329 `silent' mode unconditionally overrides portability-recursive.
1330 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Don't handle a global `silent'
1331 option here; instead, ...
1332 (handle_options): ... handle the "normal" `silent' option here.
1333 Override `portability-recursive' here, at the last point we deal
1334 with options, instead ...
1335 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): ... of here.

1342 @AM_BACKSLASH@' extra line if ?VERBOSE?.
1343 Report by Ralf Corsepius.
1345 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1368 The public variables are named `AM_V_' plus the compiler
1369 short-hand now, e.g.: AM_V_CC, AM_V_CXXLD, AM_V_GEN. The
1370 dispatch variables are internal details and begin with
1372 * automake.in (verbose_var): Update comment.
1373 (verbose_private_var): New function. Order functions so that
1374 ones not needed outside this section are listed first.

1473 and msvcmsys depmodes, do not require `-c -o' to work just yet.
1474 It is not needed by the depcomp script for these depmodes, and
1475 works around the ordering issue between the tests.

1499 `$(distdir)/$$subdir' for `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' and the recursion
1500 into the `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' in two separate rule commands.
1501 (distcheck): Exit recursive rule early when run with `make -n',
1502 as detected by a witness file.

1507 2009-03-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1509 Solaris make testsuite fixes.
1510 * tests/check10.test: When a rule fails, Solaris make will
1511 output the complete command that failed; in this case the test
1512 suite driver. Adjust the test to not bogusly match lines from
1513 the driver, rather than its output.
1514 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Avoid triggering VPATH rewriting,
1515 not desirable in this test.
1516 * tests/specflg10.test: Use BUILT_SOURCES to specify an
1517 intermediate target, so Solaris make knows what to do.
1519 testsuite: SKIP compile tests if configure found no compiler.

1594 libtool in the preprocessor invocation (as is done in
1595 depmode=cpp). Silence compiler stderr.
1596 [msvcmsys]: New depmode as a derivative of depmode=msvisualcpp.
1597 msvcmsys transforms any backslashes into forward slashes to
1598 make the grep in depend.m4 match, instead of the "cygpath -u"
1599 that is used in msvisualcpp.

1672 2008-12-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1674 Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
1675 Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
1676 containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play
1677 well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
1678 as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
1679 generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
1680 This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
1681 but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
1682 * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
1683 page due to missing help2man.
1684 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true
1685 if this makefile deals with man pages.
1686 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): If %INSTALL-MAN% and %HAVE-MANS%,
1687 check that no man page in $(MANS) contains the replacement text

1703 Fix config.status depfiles failure.
1704 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Commands are
1705 again a single shell brace group, so they are correctly skipped
1706 when dependencies are turned off. The failure is noisy with
1708 * tests/depend6.test: New test.
1709 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

2024 (handle_makefile, handle_makefiles_serial): New functions,
2025 factored out from main.
2026 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
2027 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
2028 of independent makefiles.
2029 (handle_makefiles_threaded): New function. Spawn threads, use
2030 thread queue to distribute handling the different makefiles.
2031 Collect $exit_code values from threads.
2032 (main): Use new functions.
2033 * aclocal.in: No threads here.
2034 * configure.ac: Substitute PERL_THREADS; enabled with perl >=
2035 5.7.2 and when ithreads are available.
2036 * bootstrap (dosubst): Likewise.
2037 * Makefile.am (do_subst): Likewise.
2038 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Likewise.
2039 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use `Automake::Config' and
2041 (verb): Prepend thread ID (tid) to verbose messages.
2042 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (msg): Before exiting, flush stderr,
2043 needed for worker threads.
2044 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Also
2045 include the build tree path, so Config.pm is found.
2046 * tests/parallel-am.test: New test.
2047 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2048 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake): Document AUTOMAKE_JOBS.

2054 Minor file checking optimization: set_dir_cache_file.
2055 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (set_dir_cache_file): New function.
2056 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Instead of resetting the
2057 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
2058 using set_dir_cache_file.
2060 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
2061 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
2062 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
2063 as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
2064 enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.
2065 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (fatal, automake, verb): Set
2066 `uniq_part' to `UP_NONE' when registering these channels.
2068 Fix 'config.status --file=... depfiles' with new Autoconf.
2069 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Eval
2070 $CONFIG_STATUS contents if we detect the quoting used by
2071 Autoconf 2.62 and newer for --file=.

2079 Support for Python 3.0, drop support for pre-2.0.
2080 * lib/py-compile: Do not import string; use sys.stdout.write
2081 instead of print, files.split instead of string.split.
2082 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Also look for python3 and
2083 phython3.0; do not look for python1.5. Use sys.stdout.write.
2084 (AM_PYTHON_CHECK_VERSION): Do not use string; adjust to xrange
2085 removal in Python 3.0, and changed semantics of map.
2086 * doc/automake.texi (Python, Hard-Coded Install Paths): Update
2087 Python versions mentioned in the manual, using 2.5 everywhere.
2088 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2090 2008-10-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2092 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (@chain): Drop unused variable.
2094 Cleanup of per-input global variables in automake.in.
2095 * automake.in ($output_vars, $output_all, $output_header)
2096 ($output_rules, $output_trailer): Fix comment, and sort
2097 declarations in the order they will appear in the output.
2098 ($all_target): Unused variable, remove.
2099 (Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,
2100 clarify that %am_file_cache is not reset.
2101 (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
2102 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
2103 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort
2104 remaining variables in the same order as in the section
2105 `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.
2107 Let stderr output end up on fd 2 in testsuite.
2108 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Output recorded stderr on file
2110 * tests/getopt.test: Fix erroneous multiple redirection,
2111 uncovered by above change.
2113 2008-10-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2115 Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
2116 Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported
2117 through thread creation. This patch fixes that by recreating
2118 the hashes upon thread creation with a CLONE special subroutine,
2119 which is automatically invoked by new enough Perl versions.
2120 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (CLONE): New special
2121 subroutine to fix self hashes upon thread creation.
2122 * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: New, sister test to
2123 Condition.pl, but spawns a new threads after each creation of a
2124 new condition; skip test if perl is too old or ithreads are not

2143 Nicer 'make dist' output.

2162 Require texi2dvi in tests, makeinfo may not be enough.
2163 * tests/txinfo16.test: RHEL 5.2 has makeinfo and texi2dvi in
2164 separate packages, so also list the latter as required, as the
2165 test generates DVI and/or PDF output (through distcheck).

2254 Install nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES before bin_PROGRAMS.
2255 * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
2256 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
2257 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.
2258 * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.
2260 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
2261 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
2262 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
2263 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
2264 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
2265 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
2266 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
2267 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
2268 passed to libtool in one invocation.
2269 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not
2270 reorder libraries upon installation. Remove spurious empty
2272 * tests/ltorder.test: New test.

2275 Fix -rpath arguments for nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES.
2276 * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): New hash %instsubdirs to
2277 track the dirname of nobase ltlibraries, and tack it onto the
2278 end of the -rpath argument. Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
2279 installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.

2315 (%DIR%SCRIPT_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
2318 Multi-file install for PROGRAMS.
2319 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Allow to install
2320 several programs with one install invocation, when not using
2321 libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
2322 create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a
2323 constant number of times in the fast path; uses awk and sed also
2324 in the default path.

2401 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
2402 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
2403 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
2404 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
2405 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
2406 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
2407 lower the limit to 40, too.
2408 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
2409 (am__base_list): New macro.

2417 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
2418 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
2419 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
2420 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
2421 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
2422 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
2423 * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function. Use it throughout,

2637 Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
2638 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
2639 from output for comparison.
2641 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
2642 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
2643 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
2644 relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted
2646 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fix current check for
2647 $(am__cd) within backquotes a bit. Add new check for `cd' to a

2659 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
2660 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
2661 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
2662 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.
2664 2008-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2666 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).

2688 Fix rebuilding of removed subdir/Makefile.in files.
2689 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%) [?!TOPDIR_P?]: If
2690 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
2691 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.
2692 * tests/remake6.test, tests/remake7.test: New tests.
2693 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2694 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

2721 Introduce macro $(am__mv) to facilitate 'libtool --dry-run'.
2722 * lib/am/depend.am (am__mv): New macro, set to 'mv -f'.
2723 * lib/am/depend2.am: Use throughout to move the temporary
2724 depfile *.Tpo to its final destination *.Po.

2741 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
2742 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
2743 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.

2745 links where source and dest are equal.
2746 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Remove, if build tree not

2834 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from
2837 * Makefile.am (WGET_SV_GIT_CF): New.
2838 (fetch): Pull config.guess and config.sub from git repo now.
2840 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
2841 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.

2859 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2861 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
2862 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
2863 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
2864 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
2865 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
2866 a problem, it should be revisited.
2868 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
2869 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
2870 files keyed by their target directory.
2871 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
2872 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
2873 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
2874 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
2875 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
2876 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
2877 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
2878 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
2880 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
2881 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
2882 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
2883 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
2884 a list for byte compilation after installation.
2885 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
2886 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
2887 to install multiple files at once.

2896 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
2897 failure early and provide a sensible error message.

2921 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
2923 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2925 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
2926 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
2927 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
2928 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
2929 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
2930 setting MAKE to test gmake.

3021 Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.
3022 * tests/obsolete.test: Check for presence of autoupdate. Apparently,
3023 FreeBSD may install the other Autoconf programs without a version
3024 suffix but not autoupdate.
3026 Fix Heisenbug trying to unset a sometimes-not-set variable.
3027 * tests/check5.test: Do not error out upon `unset TESTS' due to

3039 Clarify texinfo.tex and TEXINFO_TEX semantics.
3040 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Clarify that by default,
3041 texinfo.tex is searched in the same directory as the Makefile.am
3042 that needs it. Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
3043 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and
3045 * tests/txinfo22.test: Ensure TEXINFO_TEX is not distributed.

3119 lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
3121 Fix the distdir target to cope with spaces in absolute file names.
3122 * lib/am/distdir.am: Quote all instances of $(distdir) and

3266 from Autoconf's _AC_INIT_PREPARE.
3267 If $keep_testdirs is set, keep them even for successful tests.
3268 * tests/Makefile.am (check-clean-local): New target. Remove all

3605 2006-12-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3607 Simplify install-sh and its test. This shouldn't change any behavior.
3608 (This patch is a subset of the patch proposed in

3801 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
3802 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
3803 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
3804 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
3805 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in

3868 non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
3869 * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
3870 and non-VPATH builds.
3872 2006-08-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3874 * doc/automake.texi, lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix some typos.
3875 * NEWS: Likewise. Clarify that only one LIBOBJDIR is supported.
3877 2006-08-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3879 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (usage): Mention that -Wportability
3880 is enabled by default with gnu and gnits strictness.
3881 Report from Bruno Haible.
3883 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3885 * NEWS: Mark de-ANSI-fication as being obsolete.
3886 * doc/automake.texi: Likewise.
3888 2006-08-21 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3890 * Makefile.am, THANKS: Fix typos.
3892 2006-08-20 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3894 * NEWS, configure.ac: Bump version to 1.9c.
3896 * NEWS, configure.ac: Bump version to 1.9b.
3898 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for mkdir_p in automake.in
3900 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Use MKDIR_P, not mkdir_p.
3902 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Typo in previous patch.
3904 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fine-tune the "Unescaped @"
3905 check so it doesn't complain about the '@ 's in node "Standard
3906 Directory Variables".
3908 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/texinfo.tex, lib/config.sub: New
3911 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Prefix mkdir_p with
3912 $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.
3914 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3916 * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
3917 ylwrap. Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
3918 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
3919 (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always
3921 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs, Yacc and Lex): Update the
3922 documentation of ylwrap.
3923 * tests/lex.test, tests/lex4.test, tests/mmodely.test,
3924 tests/yacc.test, tests/yacc2.test, tests/yacc3.test,
3925 tests/yaccpp.test: Adjust.
3927 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Update statistics until 1.9.6.
3929 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for mkdir_p.
3930 * automake.texi (Obsolete macros): Document AM_PROG_MKDIR_P.

3933 lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
3934 lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
3935 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
3936 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
3937 mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
3938 * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
3941 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
3942 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to
3943 -I m4. Running aclocal during the rebuild rules will fail
3944 if the default acdir does not exist.
3946 * NEWS, configure.ac, m4/init.m4, m4/lispdir.m4, m4/mkdirp.m4:
3947 Require Autoconf 2.60 instead of some intermediate development
3950 * doc/automake.texi (Standard Directory Variables): Fix multitable
3952 (Autotools Introduction): Fix @uref usage.
3954 2006-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3956 * doc/automake.texi: Fix some typos in the introduction,
3957 adjust some spacing; spell `GNU Build System' consistently.
3958 (menu): Unify node naming.
3959 (Standard Directory Variables): Clarify that this list is not
3961 (DESTDIR): Fix example.
3963 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3965 * doc/automake.texi (Autotools Introduction) New chapter.
3966 Thanks to Ben Pfaff and Ralf Wildenhues for comments.
3967 (Auxiliary Programs, Install, Dist, Third-Party Makefiles)
3968 (distcleancheck): More cross references.
3969 * doc/amhello/configure.ac, doc/amhello/README,
3970 doc/amhello/Makefile.am, doc/amhello/src/Makefile.am,
3971 doc/amhello/src/main.c: New files.

3973 ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): New rule.
3974 (dist_doc_DATA): Install amhello-1.0.tar.gz.
3975 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Update comment.
3977 2006-08-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3979 * doc/automake.texi: Fix some typos.
3981 2006-08-14 Jonathan Higa <jthiga@gmail.com>
3983 * automake.in: Register "Unified Parallel C" as language.
3984 (lang_upc_rewrite): New function.
3985 (resolve_linker): Consider UPCLINK.
3986 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest
3987 AM_PROG_UPC for UPC and UPCFLAGS.
3988 * m4/upc.m4: New file.
3989 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Add UPC case.
3990 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add upc.m4.
3991 * doc/automake.texi (Unified Parallel C Support): New node.
3992 (Public macros): Mention AM_PROG_UPC.
3993 (Program and Library Variables, Flag Variables Ordering):
3995 * tests/upc.test, tests/upc2.test, tests/upc3.test: New file.
3996 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
3997 * tests/ext.test: Also test upc files.
3999 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4001 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
4003 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
4004 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
4005 other built scripts.
4007 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
4008 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
4009 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
4010 * tests/init.test: New file.
4011 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
4013 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4015 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
4016 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
4017 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
4018 `make distdir' instead.
4020 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4022 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
4023 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
4024 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
4026 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
4027 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
4028 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
4029 Report from Bas Wijnen.
4030 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
4031 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
4033 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
4034 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
4035 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
4036 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
4037 if we cannot create this file.
4038 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
4039 (unlink_tmp): New function.
4040 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
4042 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4044 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
4045 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
4046 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
4047 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
4049 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
4050 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
4052 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
4054 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4056 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
4057 can install only one file at a time.
4058 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
4059 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
4060 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
4061 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
4062 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
4063 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
4064 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
4065 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
4066 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
4067 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
4068 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
4069 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
4070 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
4071 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
4072 intermediate directories; this is safer.
4073 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
4074 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
4075 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
4076 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
4077 traditional implementations.
4079 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4081 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
4083 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4085 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
4086 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
4087 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
4089 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4090 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4092 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
4093 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
4094 computed by config.status.
4095 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
4096 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
4099 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
4100 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4102 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
4103 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
4104 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
4106 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4108 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
4110 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4112 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
4114 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4115 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4117 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
4118 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
4119 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
4120 Fix some comment typos.
4122 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4124 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
4125 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
4126 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
4128 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
4131 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
4132 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
4133 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
4134 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
4135 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
4137 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
4139 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
4141 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
4142 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
4144 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
4145 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
4146 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
4149 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
4151 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
4153 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
4155 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
4156 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
4157 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
4159 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4161 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
4162 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
4163 directory component.
4164 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
4166 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
4167 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
4168 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
4170 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4172 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
4173 New upstream versions.
4175 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4177 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
4178 repository, they use SVN now.
4180 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
4182 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
4183 savannah.nongnu.org.
4185 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4187 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
4188 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
4189 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
4191 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4193 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
4194 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
4195 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
4196 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
4197 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
4198 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
4199 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
4201 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4203 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
4205 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
4206 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
4208 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
4209 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
4211 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
4212 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
4213 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
4214 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
4215 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
4217 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
4219 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
4221 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
4222 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
4223 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
4226 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
4227 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
4230 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
4231 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
4232 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
4234 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4236 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
4237 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
4239 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
4242 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
4243 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
4246 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
4247 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
4248 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
4250 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
4251 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
4252 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
4253 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
4255 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
4256 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
4257 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
4259 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
4260 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
4261 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
4264 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
4265 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
4266 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
4269 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
4270 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
4271 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
4274 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
4275 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
4276 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
4277 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
4279 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
4280 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
4281 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
4282 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
4283 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
4284 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
4287 2006-04-26 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org> (tiny change)
4289 * doc/automake.texi (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Fix typo.
4291 2006-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4293 * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname.
4295 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4297 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
4298 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
4299 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
4300 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
4302 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4304 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
4305 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
4306 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
4307 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
4308 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
4309 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
4310 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
4311 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
4313 2006-04-20 Paul Lunau <temp@lunau.me.uk> (tiny change)
4314 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4316 * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
4317 failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
4318 Report from Paul Lunau.
4319 * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.
4322 2006-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4324 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Match XFAIL_TESTS delimited by
4325 TABs as well as spaces. Fixes PR automake/490.
4326 * tests/check6.test: New test.
4327 * tests/Makefile.am, THANKS: Update.
4328 Report from Diab Jerius <djerius@cfa.harvard.edu>.
4330 2006-04-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4332 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (find_file): Fix a typo in the
4333 description; eliminate the duplicate error message.
4334 * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): `Invoking Automake' is the name
4335 of the usage node for `automake'
4336 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_gen_varname): Fix typos in the
4339 2006-04-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4341 * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Require Autoconf 2.59c,
4342 because it uses `datarootdir'. Bump copyright year and serial.
4344 2006-04-10 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4348 2006-04-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4350 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_hash_varname, _hash_values): New functions.

4581 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4583 * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that

4586 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4588 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',

4614 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
4615 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
4616 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
4617 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
4619 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.

4681 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
4682 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
4683 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
4684 if the usual candidates show up.
4686 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4688 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.

4700 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4702 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
4703 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.

4738 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):

4740 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
4741 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.

4761 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4763 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
4764 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
4765 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
4766 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
4767 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
4768 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
4769 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
4770 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
4771 Report from Ed Hartnett.

4775 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
4777 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
4778 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
4779 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
4780 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
4781 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
4783 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4785 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):

4803 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

5077 2005-03-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
5079 * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Use xmldir instead of htmldir as
