13 2008-12-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
15 Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
16 Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
17 containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play
18 well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
19 as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
20 generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
21 This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
22 but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
23 * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
24 page due to missing help2man.
25 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true
26 if this makefile deals with man pages.

329 functions. They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and

338 (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
339 messages or backtrace output.
340 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
341 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
342 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
343 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
344 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing

399 using set_dir_cache_file.
401 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
402 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
403 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent

567 Remove unneeded per-rule *INSTALL variables.
569 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): Remove.
570 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Adjust.
571 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Remove.
572 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Adjust.
573 * lib/am/ltlibs.am (%DIR%LTLIBRARIES_INSTALL): Remove.
574 (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Adjust.
575 * lib/am/progs.am (%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL): Remove.
576 (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Adjust.
577 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Remove.
578 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Adjust.
579 * lib/am/scripts.am (%DIR%SCRIPT_INSTALL): Remove.
580 (install-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Adjust.
582 Compactify program rules using ternary operators.
583 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Uglify^WCompactify
584 using ternary operators `%KEY?TRUE:FALSE%'.
585 (uninstall-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Likewise.
587 New doc section about command line length limits.
588 * doc/automake.texi (Length limitations): New node.
589 (Alternative): `nobase_' is not always equivalent to several
591 (Install): Mention multi-file install.
592 * NEWS: Expand on the issue, list some more user-visible
595 Install nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES before bin_PROGRAMS.
596 * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
597 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
598 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.
599 * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.
601 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
602 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
603 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
604 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
605 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
606 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
607 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
608 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
609 passed to libtool in one invocation.
610 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not
611 reorder libraries upon installation. Remove spurious empty
613 * tests/ltorder.test: New test.
614 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
616 Fix -rpath arguments for nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES.
617 * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): New hash %instsubdirs to
618 track the dirname of nobase ltlibraries, and tack it onto the
619 end of the -rpath argument. Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
620 installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.
621 * tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Expose this bug here.
622 * tests/ltinstloc.test: New test.
623 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
626 Man pages for automake and aclocal.
627 * configure.ac (HELP2MAN): New substitution.
628 * doc/Makefile.am (dist_man1_MANS, MAINTAINERCLEANFILES)
629 (update_mans): New macros.
630 ($(srcdir)/aclocal-$(APIVERSION).1)
631 ($(srcdir)/automake-$(APIVERSION).1): New rules, generate
632 man pages from the command line help with help2man.
633 ($(srcdir)/aclocal.1, $(srcdir)/automake.1): New rules, for
634 `.so' man page links to the versioned pages.

641 --mode=install' with multiple libraries at once.
642 (%DIR%LTLIBRARIES_INSTALL): No need to use install_sh any more.

644 of the libtool special-casing by invoking it for multiple

655 remove them, all at once.
656 (%DIR%SCRIPT_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
659 Multi-file install for PROGRAMS.
660 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Allow to install
661 several programs with one install invocation, when not using
662 libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
663 create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a
664 constant number of times in the fast path; uses awk and sed also
666 (%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
669 Enhance cleaning of programs in libtool mode.
670 * lib/am/progs.am (clean-%DIR%PROGRAMS) [?LIBTOOL?]: Fork less
671 often, avoid removing programs twice if $(EXEEXT) is empty.
672 * tests/nobase-libtool.test: Also test PROGRAMS, in order to
673 exercise the code path.

683 and install up to 40 of those that do not have to be renamed
684 at once. Fail if installation of any file fails.
685 (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Rewrite to use fewer sed invocations.

695 (am__nobase_strip): New macros.
696 (am__nobase_list): Factorize.

740 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
742 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
743 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
744 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
745 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
746 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
747 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
748 lower the limit to 40, too.
749 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
750 (am__base_list): New macro.
751 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
752 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
753 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Likewise.
755 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
757 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
758 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
759 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
760 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
761 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
762 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
763 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.

765 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.

978 Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
979 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
980 from output for comparison.
982 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
983 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
984 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a

999 Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
1000 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
1001 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
1002 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
1003 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.

1007 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).

1030 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%) [?!TOPDIR_P?]: If
1031 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
1032 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.

1073 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): New variable.
1074 (am__nobase_list): Use it.
1076 Fix conditional rules competing with config.status rules.
1077 * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the
1078 conditional config.status rule.
1079 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
1081 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
1082 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
1083 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
1084 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.

1086 links where source and dest are equal.
1087 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Remove, if build tree not

1145 Check that m4 quotation is done consistently.

1157 tests/cond42.test, tests/cond43.test: New tests.
1158 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1160 2008-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1162 * doc/automake.texi (@ovar): New macro, from autoconf.texi.
1164 Suggestion by Eric Blake.
1166 2008-03-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1168 * lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
1170 2008-03-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1172 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Linking, Extending):
1173 Fix underfull and overfull lines, fix wording a bit.

1179 (fetch): Pull config.guess and config.sub from git repo now.
1181 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
1182 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.
1183 (xsystem_hint): New function, like xsystem but allows to pass

1188 Implement the `notrans_' prefix for untransformed manpages.
1189 * automake.in (handle_man_pages), lib/am/mans.am: Implement
1190 notrans_ prefix for MANS primary and rework dependencies for
1191 install-man%SECTION%; use only vars defined in Makefile.am.

1193 Document notrans_ prefix.
1195 * tests/notrans.test: New test.

1198 * automake.in (handle_man_pages): Reindent, for next patch.
1200 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1202 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
1203 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
1204 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
1205 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
1206 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
1207 a problem, it should be revisited.
1209 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
1210 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
1211 files keyed by their target directory.
1212 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
1213 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
1214 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
1215 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
1216 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
1217 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
1218 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
1219 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
1221 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
1222 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
1223 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
1224 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
1225 a list for byte compilation after installation.
1226 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
1227 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
1228 to install multiple files at once.
1230 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1232 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1234 Require unreleased Autoconf for fixed AC_PROG_INSTALL.
1235 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump AC_PREREQ to 2.61-341,
1237 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
1238 failure early and provide a sensible error message.
1240 Drop usage of obsolete macros AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
1241 * tests/ansi4.test: Drop AC_OBJEXT and AC_EXEEXT.

1259 2008-02-27 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
1261 * doc/automake.texi (wildcards): Improve "Why doesn't Automake
1262 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
1264 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1266 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
1267 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
1268 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
1269 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
1270 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
1271 setting MAKE to test gmake.
1272 Report by Patrick Welche.
1274 2008-02-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1289 2008-02-05 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
1291 * doc/automake.texi (CVS): configure.ac will appear newer, not
1292 older, than configure. Use `lexical' instead of `alphabetical'.
1294 2008-01-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1296 * tests/man3.test: Avoid `make VAR=value'.

1362 Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.
1363 * tests/obsolete.test: Check for presence of autoupdate. Apparently,
1364 FreeBSD may install the other Autoconf programs without a version
1365 suffix but not autoupdate.
1367 Fix Heisenbug trying to unset a sometimes-not-set variable.

1382 texinfo.tex is searched in the same directory as the Makefile.am
1383 that needs it. Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
1384 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and

1916 * lib/install-sh (initialize_posix_glob): New var.
1917 Use it instead of setting posix_glob inline.
1918 (posix_glob): Use '?'/''/: instead of ''/yes/no, for convenience.
1919 (cmpprog, CMPPROG): New vars, since we use cmp rather than the diff
1921 Use LC_ALL before invoking 'ls' when we depend on its output format.
1922 Don't use awk; just use the shell's builtin features.
1923 Clean up $dsttmp if -C detects no installation is needed.
1924 * tests/defs.in (is_newest): Renamed from is_younger; the new
1925 name is more accurate. All uses changed.
1926 (old_timestamp): New var.
1927 * tests/instsh2.test: Rewrite to avoid the need for sleeping.
1929 2006-12-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1931 * lib/install-sh: Implement install-sh -C.
1932 (This patch is the remaining part of the patch proposed in
1933 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-10/msg00077.html>.)
1934 (usage): Document it.
1935 (copy_on_change): New var.
1936 * tests/defs.in (is_younger): New function.

1939 2006-12-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1941 * lib/install-sh: Fix typo in previous patch for handling --.
1942 Use more-consistent style for ';;'.
1943 Prefer || to if-then-else-:.
1944 * tests/install2.test: Rework to avoid set -e problems.
1946 2006-12-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1948 Simplify install-sh and its test. This shouldn't change any behavior.
1949 (This patch is a subset of the patch proposed in
1950 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-10/msg00077.html>.)
1951 * lib/install-sh (usage): Use usual GNU style.
1952 (dstarg): Rename as...
1953 (dst_arg): this for consistency.
1954 Simplify quoting of assignments.
1956 Don't use '\' to continue commands: && suffices.
1957 Remove useless "continue" in the argument processing,
1958 and factor the shifts.
1959 * tests/defs.in: Some improvements to make it set -e clean.
1960 Use the traditional ":" trick to protect loops from being empty.
1961 Remove an empty straightforward piece of code prepared to define
1962 additional variables.
1963 Use test instead of [], for consistency.
1964 * tests/install2.test: Use set -e, to simplify code.

1973 amhello, to prevent gmake from invoking make with MAKEFLAGS
1974 it does not understand.
1975 Report by Patrick Welche.
1977 * lib/gnupload: Revert last change. Add pointer to upload
1978 instructions of the GNU Maintenance Instructions.
1979 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
1981 2006-11-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2141 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
2142 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
2143 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
2144 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
2145 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
2146 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
2147 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.

2179 against currently running test for the first and last element
2180 of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
2181 on these words, too.

2189 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not

2276 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
2277 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use

2345 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
2346 other built scripts.
2348 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
2349 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
2350 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.

2359 `make distdir' instead.
2361 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2363 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
2364 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
2365 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
2367 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
2368 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
2369 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
2370 Report from Bas Wijnen.
2371 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
2372 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2374 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
2375 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
2376 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
2377 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
2378 if we cannot create this file.
2379 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
2380 (unlink_tmp): New function.
2381 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
2383 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2385 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
2386 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
2387 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
2388 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct

2395 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2397 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
2398 can install only one file at a time.
2399 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
2400 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
2401 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
2402 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
2403 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
2404 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
2405 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
2406 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
2407 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
2408 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
2409 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
2410 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
2411 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
2412 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
2413 intermediate directories; this is safer.
2414 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
2415 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
2416 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
2417 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
2418 traditional implementations.
2420 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2422 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
2424 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2426 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
2427 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
2428 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
2430 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2431 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2433 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
2434 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
2435 computed by config.status.
2436 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
2437 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
2440 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
2441 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2443 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
2444 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
2445 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2447 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2449 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
2451 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2453 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
2455 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2456 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2458 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
2459 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
2460 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
2461 Fix some comment typos.
2463 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2465 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
2466 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
2467 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
2469 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
2472 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
2473 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
2474 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
2475 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
2476 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
2478 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
2480 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
2482 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,

2485 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
2486 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
2487 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
2490 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
2492 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
2494 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
2496 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
2497 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
2498 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
2500 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2502 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
2503 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
2504 directory component.
2505 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
2507 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
2508 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.

2514 New upstream versions.
2516 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2518 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
2519 repository, they use SVN now.
2521 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
2523 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
2524 savannah.nongnu.org.
2526 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2528 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
2529 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2530 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
2532 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2534 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
2535 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
2536 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
2537 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
2538 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
2539 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
2540 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
2542 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2544 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
2546 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
2547 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
2549 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
2550 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
2552 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
2553 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
2554 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
2555 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
2556 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
2558 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
2560 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
2562 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
2563 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
2564 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
2567 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
2568 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
2571 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
2572 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
2573 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
2575 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2577 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
2578 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
2580 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
2583 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
2584 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
2587 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
2588 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
2589 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
2591 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
2592 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
2593 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
2594 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
2596 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
2597 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
2598 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
2600 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
2601 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
2602 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
2605 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
2606 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
2607 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
2610 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
2611 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
2612 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
2615 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
2616 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
2617 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
2618 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2620 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
2621 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
2622 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
2623 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
2624 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
2625 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.

2636 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2638 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
2639 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
2640 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
2641 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
2643 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2645 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
2646 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
2647 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
2648 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
2649 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
2650 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
2651 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
2652 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

2655 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2657 * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
2658 failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
2659 Report from Paul Lunau.

2909 (generate_makefile): Compute it.
2910 (fill_dist_dirs): New function extracted from handle_dist.
2911 (handle_dist, handle_configure): Use fill_dist_dirs.
2912 * tests/distdir.test: Test for cases where $(top_srcdir) or
2913 $(srcdir) appear in EXTRA_DIST. Report from Sander Niemeijer.
2915 2006-01-05 Zack Weinberg <zackw@panix.com>
2916 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2918 * lib/depcomp: Add 'ia64hp' dependency style.
2919 Zack's original patch was contributed to GCC on 2005-06-13.
2922 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2924 * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that
2925 the code is portable to both POSIX and pre-POSIX shells.
2927 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2929 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',
2930 suggested by Eric Blake.
2932 2005-10-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2934 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Typo.
2935 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (transform_variable_recursively): Typo
2938 2005-10-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2940 * ChangeLog.03, automake.in, tests/overrid.test: Typos.
2942 2005-10-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2944 * tests/nobase.test: Exercise previous patch.
2946 2005-10-03 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com> (tiny change)
2948 * lib/am/distdir.am: Remove $(SHELL) when calling install_sh
2949 * m4/strip.m4: Ditto.
2950 * m4/install-sh.m4: Add $(SHELL) to the definition of install_sh
2952 2005-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2954 * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
2955 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
2956 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
2957 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
2958 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
2960 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
2962 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2964 * automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.
2966 2005-09-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2969 shell in verbose mode.
2971 2005-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2973 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (variable_value): Do not read the TRUE
2974 value of a conditionally defined variable.
2975 Report from Juergen Leising.
2977 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
2978 $(MAKE) invocations.
2979 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
2981 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
2982 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
2983 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
2984 Report from Stepan Kasal.
2986 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
2987 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
2989 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2991 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
2992 the $(infodir) exists.
2994 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2996 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
2998 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3000 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
3001 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
3003 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
3004 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
3005 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
3006 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
3007 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
3008 for missing files that can be installed.
3009 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
3011 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3013 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
3014 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
3016 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
3017 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
3018 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
3020 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3022 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
3023 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
3024 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
3025 if the usual candidates show up.
3027 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3029 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
3031 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3033 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream
3036 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3038 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
3039 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
3041 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3043 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
3044 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
3046 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
3048 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
3049 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
3052 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3054 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
3055 fix an underful hbox.
3056 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
3057 New upstream versions.
3059 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3061 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
3063 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3065 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
3066 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
3067 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
3068 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
3069 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
3071 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
3073 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
3074 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
3075 Report from Harald Dunkel.
3077 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
3079 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
3080 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
3081 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
3082 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
3084 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3086 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
3087 `mkdir -p' does not work.
3088 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
3089 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
3090 Report from Noah Friedman.
3092 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
3093 Report from Karl Berry.
3095 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3096 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3098 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
3099 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
3100 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
3102 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3104 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
3105 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
3106 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
3107 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
3108 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
3109 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
3110 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
3111 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
3112 Report from Ed Hartnett.
3114 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3116 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
3118 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
3119 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
3120 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
3121 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
3122 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
3124 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3126 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
3127 Fix redirections in previous patch.
3129 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3131 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
3132 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
3133 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
3134 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
3135 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
3136 Report from Bob Proulx.
3138 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
3140 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
3142 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
3144 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3146 Fix PR automake/461:
3147 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
3148 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
3149 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
3150 Report from Tom Tromey.

3735 (handle_programs, handle_ltlibraries): Use it.
3736 (%link_languages): New map.
3737 (register_language): Fill it.
3738 * lib/am/ltlibrary.am (%LTLIBRARY%): Do not append
3739 $(%XLTLIBRARY%_LDFLAGS) to the command, this is now done by
3740 define_per_target_linker_variable if needed.
3741 * lib/am/program.am (%PROGRAM%%EXEEXT%): Likewise with
3742 $(%XPROGRAM%_LDFLAGS).
3743 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Mention
3744 AM_LDFLAGS and AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS in the definition of maude_LDFLAGS
3745 and maude_LIBTOOLFLAGS.
3746 * tests/libtool9.test: New file.
3747 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3748 * NEWS: Explain the backward incompatibility.

3753 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements) <AC_CONFIG_FILES>: Discuss
3754 specifications with shell variables.
3755 (Optional) <AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_LINKS>: Point to
3756 AC_CONFIG_FILES for this explanation.
3757 * automake.in (substitute_ac_subst_variables_worker,
3758 substitute_ac_subst_variables): Mew functions.
3759 (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Use substitute_ac_subst_variables
3760 to ignore dependencies that contain unAC_SUBSTed shell variables.
3761 (handle_configure): Likewise, do not output rules for
3762 AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_FILES, and AC_CONFIG_LINKS targets that
3763 unAC_SUBSTed contain shell variables.
3764 * tests/autohdr4.test: Use an AC_SUBST variable in a specification.
3765 * tests/output11.test, tests/output12.test: New files.
3766 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add output11.test and output12.test.
