250 Implement serialization for Locations.
251 * lib/Automake/Location.pm (serialize, deserialize): New
252 functions. They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and
253 to restore a Location from a thread queue. The API is
254 unsymmetric (array vs. queue) because enqueuing data needs to
257 Parallel automake: ordered output messages.
258 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (%_default_options): New options
259 `ordered' default enabled, `queue', default zero (no queue),
260 `queue_key' default undefined.
261 (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
262 messages or backtrace output.
263 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
264 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
265 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
266 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
267 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
269 (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
270 to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.

273 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as
275 (handle_makefiles_threaded): Create message queues for each
276 input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
277 ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.
278 * tests/parallel-am.test: Also check for ordered output (in the
279 absence of --add-missing races).

286 * automake.in: Use it. If the perl supports interpreter-based
287 threading, then use `threads' and `Thread::Queue'.
288 (handle_makefile, handle_makefiles_serial): New functions,
289 factored out from main.
290 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
291 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number

295 Collect $exit_code values from threads.

307 needed for worker threads.
308 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Also
309 include the build tree path, so Config.pm is found.

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

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

363 (Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,

365 (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
366 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
367 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort
368 remaining variables in the same order as in the section
369 `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.
371 Let stderr output end up on fd 2 in testsuite.
372 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Output recorded stderr on file

379 Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
380 Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported
381 through thread creation. This patch fixes that by recreating

383 which is automatically invoked by new enough Perl versions.

385 subroutine to fix self hashes upon thread creation.
386 * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: New, sister test to

526 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
527 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
528 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
529 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
530 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
531 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
532 passed to libtool in one invocation.
533 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not
534 reorder libraries upon installation. Remove spurious empty
536 * tests/ltorder.test: New test.
537 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
539 Fix -rpath arguments for nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES.
540 * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): New hash %instsubdirs to
541 track the dirname of nobase ltlibraries, and tack it onto the
542 end of the -rpath argument. Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
543 installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.
544 * tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Expose this bug here.
545 * tests/ltinstloc.test: New test.
546 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

554 ($(srcdir)/automake-$(APIVERSION).1): New rules, generate
555 man pages from the command line help with help2man.
556 ($(srcdir)/aclocal.1, $(srcdir)/automake.1): New rules, for
557 `.so' man page links to the versioned pages.

583 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Allow to install
584 several programs with one install invocation, when not using
585 libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
586 create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a
587 constant number of times in the fast path; uses awk and sed also
589 (%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
592 Enhance cleaning of programs in libtool mode.
593 * lib/am/progs.am (clean-%DIR%PROGRAMS) [?LIBTOOL?]: Fork less

663 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
665 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
666 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
667 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
668 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
669 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
670 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
671 lower the limit to 40, too.
672 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
673 (am__base_list): New macro.
674 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.

678 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
680 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
681 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
682 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
683 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
684 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
685 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
686 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
687 * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function. Use it throughout,
688 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.
689 * tests/aclibobj.test, tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca11.test,

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

922 Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
923 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
924 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
925 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
926 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.

930 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).

954 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
955 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.

1000 * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the
1001 conditional config.status rule.
1002 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
1004 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
1005 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
1006 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
1007 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.

1009 links where source and dest are equal.

1083 2008-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1085 * doc/automake.texi (@ovar): New macro, from autoconf.texi.
1087 Suggestion by Eric Blake.
1089 2008-03-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1091 * lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.

1095 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Linking, Extending):
1096 Fix underfull and overfull lines, fix wording a bit.
1098 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from

1102 (fetch): Pull config.guess and config.sub from git repo now.
1104 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
1105 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.
1106 (xsystem_hint): New function, like xsystem but allows to pass

1111 Implement the `notrans_' prefix for untransformed manpages.
1112 * automake.in (handle_man_pages), lib/am/mans.am: Implement
1113 notrans_ prefix for MANS primary and rework dependencies for
1114 install-man%SECTION%; use only vars defined in Makefile.am.
1115 * doc/automake.texi (Renaming, Uniform, Man pages):
1116 Document notrans_ prefix.
1118 * tests/notrans.test: New test.
1119 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1121 * automake.in (handle_man_pages): Reindent, for next patch.
1123 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1125 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
1126 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
1127 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
1128 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
1129 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
1130 a problem, it should be revisited.
1132 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
1133 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
1134 files keyed by their target directory.
1135 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
1136 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
1137 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
1138 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
1139 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
1140 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
1141 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
1142 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
1144 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
1145 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
1146 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
1147 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
1148 a list for byte compilation after installation.
1149 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
1150 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
1151 to install multiple files at once.

1157 Require unreleased Autoconf for fixed AC_PROG_INSTALL.
1158 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump AC_PREREQ to 2.61-341,
1160 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
1161 failure early and provide a sensible error message.
1163 Drop usage of obsolete macros AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
1164 * tests/ansi4.test: Drop AC_OBJEXT and AC_EXEEXT.

1184 * doc/automake.texi (wildcards): Improve "Why doesn't Automake
1185 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
1187 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1189 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
1190 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
1191 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
1192 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
1193 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
1194 setting MAKE to test gmake.

1212 2008-02-05 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
1214 * doc/automake.texi (CVS): configure.ac will appear newer, not
1215 older, than configure. Use `lexical' instead of `alphabetical'.

1285 Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.
1286 * tests/obsolete.test: Check for presence of autoupdate. Apparently,
1287 FreeBSD may install the other Autoconf programs without a version
1288 suffix but not autoupdate.
1290 Fix Heisenbug trying to unset a sometimes-not-set variable.

1305 texinfo.tex is searched in the same directory as the Makefile.am
1306 that needs it. Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
1307 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and

1368 2007-12-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1370 * tests/defs.in: Quote $srcdir, $PATH; skip libtool and gettext
1371 tests if the absolute source or build tree name contain whitespace.
1373 Modify some tests for absolute trees containing whitespace.
1374 * tests/missing.test: Use "./missing" instead of "`pwd`/missing".

1377 references to myyacc.sh and mylex.sh.
1378 * tests/multlib.test: Likewise for mycc.
1379 * tests/txinfo26.test: Skip if `pwd` contains whitespace, as
1380 an absolute --srcdir does not work there.
1382 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config-ml.in, lib/config.guess,
1383 lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
1385 Fix the distdir target to cope with spaces in absolute file names.
1386 * lib/am/distdir.am: Quote all instances of $(distdir) and
1387 $(top_distdir). They could contain white space, coming from

1990 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1992 For PR automake/507:

2011 $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES)' to the compile rule.
2012 * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Update.
2014 Suggested by Thomas Schwinge and Ralf Corsepius.

2028 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2029 Report by Ralf Corsepius.
2031 * doc/automake.texi (Options): `no-dependencies' is similar
2032 to `--ignore-deps', not `--include-deps'.

2047 mode in depend2.am. Fixes build failure for FreeBSD's c89,
2048 which ignores unknown options only after the first non-option.

2062 2006-10-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2064 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
2065 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
2066 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
2067 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
2068 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
2069 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
2070 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.
2071 Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;

2089 For PR automake/505:

2097 Report by Patrick Welche.
2099 2006-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2101 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Fix matching of XFAIL_TESTS
2102 against currently running test for the first and last element
2103 of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
2104 on these words, too.
2105 * tests/check6.test: Update.
2107 2006-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2109 For PR automake/501:
2110 * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%):
2111 Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
2112 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
2113 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
2114 This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.
2116 2006-08-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2118 * automake.in: Fortran 77 and Fortran should require variables
2119 F77 resp. FC to be defined, and suggest the respective Autoconf

2128 For PR automake/500:
2129 * automake.in (handle_compile) <$default_includes>: Do not output
2130 the same -I twice. Use @am__isrc@ instead of ` -I$(srcdir)'.
2131 * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
2132 non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
2133 * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
2134 and non-VPATH builds.

2168 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fine-tune the "Unescaped @"
2169 check so it doesn't complain about the '@ 's in node "Standard
2170 Directory Variables".

2175 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Prefix mkdir_p with
2176 $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.
2178 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2180 * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
2181 ylwrap. Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
2182 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
2183 (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always

2197 lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
2198 lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
2199 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
2200 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
2201 mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
2202 * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
2205 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
2206 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to
2207 -I m4. Running aclocal during the rebuild rules will fail
2208 if the default acdir does not exist.
2210 * NEWS, configure.ac, m4/init.m4, m4/lispdir.m4, m4/mkdirp.m4:
2211 Require Autoconf 2.60 instead of some intermediate development
2214 * doc/automake.texi (Standard Directory Variables): Fix multitable
2216 (Autotools Introduction): Fix @uref usage.
2218 2006-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2220 * doc/automake.texi: Fix some typos in the introduction,
2221 adjust some spacing; spell `GNU Build System' consistently.
2222 (menu): Unify node naming.
2223 (Standard Directory Variables): Clarify that this list is not
2225 (DESTDIR): Fix example.
2227 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

2247 * automake.in: Register "Unified Parallel C" as language.
2248 (lang_upc_rewrite): New function.
2249 (resolve_linker): Consider UPCLINK.
2250 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest
2251 AM_PROG_UPC for UPC and UPCFLAGS.
2252 * m4/upc.m4: New file.
2253 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Add UPC case.
2254 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add upc.m4.
2255 * doc/automake.texi (Unified Parallel C Support): New node.
2256 (Public macros): Mention AM_PROG_UPC.
2257 (Program and Library Variables, Flag Variables Ordering):
2259 * tests/upc.test, tests/upc2.test, tests/upc3.test: New file.
2260 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
2261 * tests/ext.test: Also test upc files.
2263 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2265 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
2267 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
2268 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
2269 other built scripts.
2271 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
2272 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
2273 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
2274 * tests/init.test: New file.
2275 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2277 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2279 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
2280 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
2281 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
2282 `make distdir' instead.
2284 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2286 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
2287 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
2288 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
2290 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
2291 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
2292 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
2293 Report from Bas Wijnen.
2294 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
2295 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2297 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
2298 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
2299 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
2300 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
2301 if we cannot create this file.
2302 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
2303 (unlink_tmp): New function.
2304 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
2306 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2308 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
2309 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
2310 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
2311 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
2313 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
2314 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
2316 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
2318 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2320 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
2321 can install only one file at a time.
2322 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
2323 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
2324 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
2325 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
2326 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
2327 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
2328 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
2329 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
2330 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
2331 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
2332 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
2333 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
2334 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
2335 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
2336 intermediate directories; this is safer.
2337 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
2338 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
2339 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
2340 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
2341 traditional implementations.
2343 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2345 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
2347 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2349 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
2350 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
2351 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
2353 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2354 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2356 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
2357 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
2358 computed by config.status.
2359 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
2360 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
2363 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
2364 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2366 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
2367 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
2368 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2370 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2372 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
2374 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2376 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
2378 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2379 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2381 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
2382 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
2383 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
2384 Fix some comment typos.
2386 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2388 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
2389 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
2390 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
2392 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
2395 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
2396 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
2397 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
2398 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
2399 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
2401 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
2403 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for

2408 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
2409 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
2410 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
2413 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
2415 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
2417 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
2419 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
2420 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
2421 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
2423 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2425 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
2426 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
2427 directory component.

2444 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
2446 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
2447 savannah.nongnu.org.
2449 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2452 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2453 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
2455 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2457 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
2458 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
2459 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
2460 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
2461 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
2462 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
2463 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
2465 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2467 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
2469 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
2470 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
2472 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
2473 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
2475 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
2476 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
2477 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
2478 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
2479 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
2481 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
2483 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
2485 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
2486 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
2487 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
2490 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
2491 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
2494 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
2495 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
2496 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.

2501 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
2503 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
2506 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
2507 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
2510 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
2511 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
2512 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
2514 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
2515 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
2516 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
2517 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
2519 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
2520 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
2521 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
2523 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
2524 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
2525 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
2528 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
2529 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
2530 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
2533 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
2534 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
2535 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
2538 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
2539 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
2540 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
2541 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2543 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
2544 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
2545 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
2546 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
2547 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
2548 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.

2562 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
2563 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
2564 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
2566 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2568 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
2569 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
2570 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
2571 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
2572 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
2573 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
2574 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
2575 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

2878 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
2879 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.

2896 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (variable_value): Do not read the TRUE
2897 value of a conditionally defined variable.
2898 Report from Juergen Leising.
2900 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
2901 $(MAKE) invocations.
2902 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
2904 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
2905 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
2906 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
2907 Report from Stepan Kasal.
2909 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
2910 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
2912 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2914 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
2915 the $(infodir) exists.
2917 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2919 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
2921 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2923 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
2924 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
2926 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
2927 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
2928 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
2929 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
2930 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
2931 for missing files that can be installed.
2932 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
2934 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2936 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
2937 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
2939 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
2940 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
2941 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
2943 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2945 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
2946 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
2947 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
2948 if the usual candidates show up.
2950 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2952 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
2954 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2956 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream
2959 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2961 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
2962 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
2964 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2966 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
2967 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
2969 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
2971 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
2972 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
2975 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2977 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
2978 fix an underful hbox.
2979 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
2980 New upstream versions.
2982 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2984 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
2986 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2988 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
2989 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
2990 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
2991 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
2992 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
2994 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
2996 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
2997 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
2998 Report from Harald Dunkel.
3000 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
3002 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
3003 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
3004 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
3005 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
3007 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3009 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
3010 `mkdir -p' does not work.
3011 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
3012 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
3013 Report from Noah Friedman.
3015 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
3016 Report from Karl Berry.
3018 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3019 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3021 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
3022 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
3023 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
3025 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3027 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
3028 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
3029 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
3030 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
3031 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
3032 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
3033 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
3034 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
3035 Report from Ed Hartnett.
3037 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3039 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
3041 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
3042 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
3043 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
3044 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
3045 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
3047 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3049 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
3050 Fix redirections in previous patch.
3052 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3054 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
3055 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
3056 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
3057 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
3058 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
3059 Report from Bob Proulx.
3061 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
3063 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
3065 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
3067 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3069 Fix PR automake/461:
3070 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
3071 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
3072 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
3073 Report from Tom Tromey.
