229 concurrent same-file installs stemming from --add-missing.
230 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
232 Implement serialization for Locations.
233 * lib/Automake/Location.pm (serialize, deserialize): New
234 functions. They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and
235 to restore a Location from a thread queue. The API is
236 unsymmetric (array vs. queue) because enqueuing data needs to
239 Parallel automake: ordered output messages.
240 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (%_default_options): New options
241 `ordered' default enabled, `queue', default zero (no queue),
242 `queue_key' default undefined.
243 (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
244 messages or backtrace output.
245 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
246 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
247 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
248 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
249 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
251 (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
252 to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.
253 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Unset channel option `ordered'
254 for fatal, automake, and verb channels.
255 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as
257 (handle_makefiles_threaded): Create message queues for each
258 input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
259 ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.
260 * tests/parallel-am.test: Also check for ordered output (in the
261 absence of --add-missing races).
262 * tests/parallel-am2.test: New test; check for ordered output of
263 warning and (regular) error messages.
264 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
266 Parallel automake execution: AUTOMAKE_JOBS.
267 * lib/Automake/Config.in (perl_threads): New global.
268 * automake.in: Use it. If the perl supports interpreter-based
269 threading, then use `threads' and `Thread::Queue'.
270 (handle_makefile, handle_makefiles_serial): New functions,
271 factored out from main.
272 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
273 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
274 of independent makefiles.
275 (handle_makefiles_threaded): New function. Spawn threads, use
276 thread queue to distribute handling the different makefiles.
277 Collect $exit_code values from threads.
278 (main): Use new functions.
279 * aclocal.in: No threads here.
280 * configure.ac: Substitute PERL_THREADS; enabled with perl >=
281 5.7.2 and when ithreads are available.

287 (verb): Prepend thread ID (tid) to verbose messages.
288 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (msg): Before exiting, flush stderr,
289 needed for worker threads.
290 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Also
291 include the build tree path, so Config.pm is found.
292 * tests/parallel-am.test: New test.
293 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

300 Minor file checking optimization: set_dir_cache_file.
301 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (set_dir_cache_file): New function.
302 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Instead of resetting the
303 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
304 using set_dir_cache_file.
306 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
307 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
308 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
309 as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
310 enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.
311 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (fatal, automake, verb): Set
312 `uniq_part' to `UP_NONE' when registering these channels.
314 Fix 'config.status --file=... depfiles' with new Autoconf.
315 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Eval
316 $CONFIG_STATUS contents if we detect the quoting used by
317 Autoconf 2.62 and newer for --file=.

325 Support for Python 3.0, drop support for pre-2.0.
326 * lib/py-compile: Do not import string; use sys.stdout.write
327 instead of print, files.split instead of string.split.
328 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Also look for python3 and
329 phython3.0; do not look for python1.5. Use sys.stdout.write.
330 (AM_PYTHON_CHECK_VERSION): Do not use string; adjust to xrange
331 removal in Python 3.0, and changed semantics of map.

333 Python versions mentioned in the manual, using 2.5 everywhere.

340 Cleanup of per-input global variables in automake.in.
341 * automake.in ($output_vars, $output_all, $output_header)
342 ($output_rules, $output_trailer): Fix comment, and sort
343 declarations in the order they will appear in the output.
344 ($all_target): Unused variable, remove.
345 (Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,
346 clarify that %am_file_cache is not reset.
347 (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
348 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
349 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort
350 remaining variables in the same order as in the section
351 `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.
353 Let stderr output end up on fd 2 in testsuite.
354 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Output recorded stderr on file
356 * tests/getopt.test: Fix erroneous multiple redirection,
357 uncovered by above change.

361 Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
362 Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported
363 through thread creation. This patch fixes that by recreating
364 the hashes upon thread creation with a CLONE special subroutine,
365 which is automatically invoked by new enough Perl versions.
366 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (CLONE): New special
367 subroutine to fix self hashes upon thread creation.
368 * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: New, sister test to
369 Condition.pl, but spawns a new threads after each creation of a

500 Install nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES before bin_PROGRAMS.
501 * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
502 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
503 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.
504 * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.
506 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
507 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
508 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
509 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
510 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
511 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
512 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
513 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
514 passed to libtool in one invocation.

645 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
647 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
648 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
649 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
650 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
651 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
652 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
653 lower the limit to 40, too.
654 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
655 (am__base_list): New macro.
656 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
657 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
658 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Likewise.
660 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
662 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
663 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
664 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
665 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
666 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
667 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
668 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
669 * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function. Use it throughout,
670 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.

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

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

912 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).

983 conditional config.status rule.
984 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
986 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.

988 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
989 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.

1086 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
1087 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.

1095 notrans_ prefix for MANS primary and rework dependencies for
1096 install-man%SECTION%; use only vars defined in Makefile.am.

1098 Document notrans_ prefix.
1100 * tests/notrans.test: New test.

1105 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1107 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
1108 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
1109 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
1110 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
1111 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
1112 a problem, it should be revisited.
1114 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
1115 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
1116 files keyed by their target directory.
1117 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
1118 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
1119 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
1120 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
1121 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
1122 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
1123 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
1124 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
1126 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
1127 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
1128 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
1129 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
1130 a list for byte compilation after installation.
1131 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
1132 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
1133 to install multiple files at once.

1142 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
1143 failure early and provide a sensible error message.
1145 Drop usage of obsolete macros AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
1146 * tests/ansi4.test: Drop AC_OBJEXT and AC_EXEEXT.

1167 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
1169 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1171 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
1172 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
1173 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
1174 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.

1176 setting MAKE to test gmake.

1194 2008-02-05 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
1196 * doc/automake.texi (CVS): configure.ac will appear newer, not

1267 Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.
1268 * tests/obsolete.test: Check for presence of autoupdate. Apparently,
1269 FreeBSD may install the other Autoconf programs without a version
1270 suffix but not autoupdate.
1272 Fix Heisenbug trying to unset a sometimes-not-set variable.

1287 texinfo.tex is searched in the same directory as the Makefile.am
1288 that needs it. Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
1289 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and

1361 * tests/txinfo26.test: Skip if `pwd` contains whitespace, as
1362 an absolute --srcdir does not work there.
1364 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config-ml.in, lib/config.guess,
1365 lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
1367 Fix the distdir target to cope with spaces in absolute file names.
1368 * lib/am/distdir.am: Quote all instances of $(distdir) and
1369 $(top_distdir). They could contain white space, coming from
1370 a toplevel package bootstrapped with an older Automake version.

2046 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
2047 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
2048 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
2049 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
2050 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
2051 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in

2251 other built scripts.
2253 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
2254 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
2255 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.

2264 `make distdir' instead.
2266 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2268 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
2269 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
2270 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
2272 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
2273 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
2274 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
2275 Report from Bas Wijnen.
2276 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
2277 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2279 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
2280 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
2281 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
2282 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
2283 if we cannot create this file.
2284 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
2285 (unlink_tmp): New function.

2288 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2290 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
2291 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
2292 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
2293 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
2295 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
2296 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
2298 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
2300 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2302 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
2303 can install only one file at a time.
2304 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
2305 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
2306 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
2307 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
2308 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
2309 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
2310 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
2311 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
2312 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
2313 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
2314 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
2315 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
2316 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
2317 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
2318 intermediate directories; this is safer.
2319 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
2320 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
2321 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
2322 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
2323 traditional implementations.
2325 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2327 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
2329 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2331 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,

2338 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
2339 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
2340 computed by config.status.
2341 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
2342 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.

2361 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2363 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
2364 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
2365 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
2366 Fix some comment typos.
2368 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2370 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
2371 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
2372 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
2374 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
2377 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
2378 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
2379 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
2380 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
2381 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all

2390 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
2391 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
2392 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
2395 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
2397 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.

2402 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
2403 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
2405 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2407 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use

2437 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2439 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
2440 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
2441 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
2442 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
2443 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
2444 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
2445 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
2447 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2449 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
2451 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
2452 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.

2455 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
2457 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
2458 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
2459 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
2460 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
2461 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
2463 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
2465 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
2467 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
2468 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
2469 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
2472 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
2473 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
2476 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...

2488 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
2489 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
2492 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
2493 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
2494 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
2496 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
2497 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
2498 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
2499 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
2501 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
2502 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
2503 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
2505 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
2506 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
2507 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless

2511 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
2512 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
2515 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
2516 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
2517 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
2520 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
2521 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
2522 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
2523 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2525 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
2526 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
2527 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
2528 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
2529 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.

2546 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
2548 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2550 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
2551 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
2552 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
2553 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
2554 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
2555 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
2556 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
2557 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

2860 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
2861 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.

2892 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
2894 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2896 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
2897 the $(infodir) exists.
2899 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2901 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
2903 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2905 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
2906 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
2908 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
2909 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
2910 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
2911 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
2912 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
2913 for missing files that can be installed.
2914 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
2916 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2918 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
2919 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
2921 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
2922 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
2923 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
2925 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2927 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
2928 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
2929 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
2930 if the usual candidates show up.
2932 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2934 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
2936 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2938 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream
2941 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2943 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
2944 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
2946 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2948 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
2949 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
2951 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
2953 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
2954 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
2957 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2959 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
2960 fix an underful hbox.
2961 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
2962 New upstream versions.
2964 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2966 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
2968 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2970 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
2971 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
2972 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
2973 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
2974 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
2976 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
2978 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
2979 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
2980 Report from Harald Dunkel.
2982 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
2984 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
2985 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
2986 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
2987 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
2989 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2991 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
2992 `mkdir -p' does not work.
2993 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
2994 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
2995 Report from Noah Friedman.
2997 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
2998 Report from Karl Berry.
3000 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3001 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3003 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
3004 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
3005 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
3007 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3009 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
3010 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
3011 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
3012 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
3013 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
3014 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
3015 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
3016 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
3017 Report from Ed Hartnett.
3019 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3021 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
3023 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
3024 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
3025 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
3026 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
3027 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
3029 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3031 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
3032 Fix redirections in previous patch.
3034 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3036 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
3037 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
3038 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
3039 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
3040 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
3041 Report from Bob Proulx.
3043 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
3045 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
3047 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
3049 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3051 Fix PR automake/461:
3052 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
3053 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
3054 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
3055 Report from Tom Tromey.
