134 2006-12-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
136 * lib/install-sh (initialize_posix_glob): New var.
137 Use it instead of setting posix_glob inline.
138 (posix_glob): Use '?'/''/: instead of ''/yes/no, for convenience.
139 (cmpprog, CMPPROG): New vars, since we use cmp rather than the diff
141 Use LC_ALL before invoking 'ls' when we depend on its output format.
142 Don't use awk; just use the shell's builtin features.

166 2006-12-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
168 Simplify install-sh and its test. This shouldn't change any behavior.
169 (This patch is a subset of the patch proposed in

182 additional variables.

198 instructions of the GNU Maintenance Instructions.
199 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
201 2006-11-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

204 Report by Karl Berry.
206 2006-10-28 Bobby Jack <bobbykjack@yahoo.co.uk> (tiny change)
208 * doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): autoconf creates

234 right before the expanded source file name.
235 * automake.in (%sourceflags): New global: per-extension flag
236 to denote that the next compiler argument is the source file.
237 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_FC_SRCEXT; initialize
238 %sourceflags accordingly.
239 (handle_single_transform): Store source file extension in...

311 Suggested by Thomas Schwinge and Ralf Corsepius.
314 * automake.in (output_flag): Set to `-o' for Assembler and

325 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
326 Report by Ralf Corsepius.
328 * doc/automake.texi (Options): `no-dependencies' is similar
329 to `--ignore-deps', not `--include-deps'.

332 * tests/nodep2.test: New test.
333 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
335 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): If we are in the
336 LIBOBJDIR, then we should not add a DEPDIR prefix.
337 * tests/pr401.test: Update test.

339 * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
340 Report by Jim Meyering and Eric Blake.
342 * lib/depcomp (gcc3): Put dependency extraction flags before the
343 `-c' flag, so they appear at the same position as in %FASTDEP%
344 mode in depend2.am. Fixes build failure for FreeBSD's c89,
345 which ignores unknown options only after the first non-option.
346 Bug report against M4 by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
348 2006-10-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
349 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

357 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
359 2006-10-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
361 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
362 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
363 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
364 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
365 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
366 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
367 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.
368 Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;
369 suggested by Stepan Kasal.
371 2006-10-14 Geoffrey Keating <geoffk@apple.com> (tiny change)
373 * m4/multi.m4: Non-default multilibs may be cross compilation.

387 * lib/am/configure.am (am__CONFIG_DISTCLEAN_FILES):

394 Report by Patrick Welche.
396 2006-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
398 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Fix matching of XFAIL_TESTS
399 against currently running test for the first and last element
400 of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
402 * tests/check6.test: Update.
404 2006-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
407 * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%):
408 Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
409 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
410 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
411 This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.
413 2006-08-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
415 * automake.in: Fortran 77 and Fortran should require variables
416 F77 resp. FC to be defined, and suggest the respective Autoconf
418 * tests/fort1.test: New test.
419 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
421 * tests/ext.test: Add extensions f95, F90, F95.
423 2006-08-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
426 * automake.in (handle_compile) <$default_includes>: Do not output
427 the same -I twice. Use @am__isrc@ instead of ` -I$(srcdir)'.
428 * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
429 non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
430 * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
431 and non-VPATH builds.
433 2006-08-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
435 * doc/automake.texi, lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix some typos.

438 2006-08-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

441 is enabled by default with gnu and gnits strictness.

463 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Typo in previous patch.
465 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fine-tune the "Unescaped @"
466 check so it doesn't complain about the '@ 's in node "Standard
467 Directory Variables".

472 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Prefix mkdir_p with
473 $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.
475 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
477 * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
478 ylwrap. Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
479 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
480 (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always
482 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs, Yacc and Lex): Update the
483 documentation of ylwrap.

494 lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
495 lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
496 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
497 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
498 mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
499 * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
502 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
503 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to
504 -I m4. Running aclocal during the rebuild rules will fail

551 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add upc.m4.
552 * doc/automake.texi (Unified Parallel C Support): New node.
553 (Public macros): Mention AM_PROG_UPC.
554 (Program and Library Variables, Flag Variables Ordering):
556 * tests/upc.test, tests/upc2.test, tests/upc3.test: New file.
557 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
558 * tests/ext.test: Also test upc files.
560 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
562 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
564 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
565 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
568 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
569 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
570 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
571 * tests/init.test: New file.
572 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
574 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
576 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
577 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
578 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
579 `make distdir' instead.
581 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
583 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
584 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
585 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
587 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
588 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
589 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
590 Report from Bas Wijnen.
591 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
592 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
594 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
595 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
596 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
597 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
598 if we cannot create this file.
599 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
600 (unlink_tmp): New function.
601 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
603 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
605 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
606 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
607 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
608 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
610 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
611 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
613 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
615 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
617 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
618 can install only one file at a time.
619 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
620 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
621 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
622 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
623 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
624 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
625 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
626 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
627 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
628 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
629 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
630 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
631 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
632 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
633 intermediate directories; this is safer.
634 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
635 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
636 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
637 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
638 traditional implementations.
640 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
642 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
644 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
646 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
647 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
648 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
650 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
651 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
653 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
654 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
655 computed by config.status.
656 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
657 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
660 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
661 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
663 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
664 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
665 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
667 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
669 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
671 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
673 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
675 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
676 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
678 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
679 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
680 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
681 Fix some comment typos.
683 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
685 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
686 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
687 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
689 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
692 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
693 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
694 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
695 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
696 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
698 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
700 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
702 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
703 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
705 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
706 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
707 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
710 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
712 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
714 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
716 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
717 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
718 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
720 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
722 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
723 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
725 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
727 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
728 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
729 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
731 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
733 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
734 New upstream versions.
736 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
738 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
739 repository, they use SVN now.
741 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
743 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
746 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
748 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
749 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
750 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
752 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
754 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
755 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
756 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
757 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
758 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
759 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
760 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
762 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
764 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
766 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
767 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
769 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
770 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
772 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
773 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
774 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
775 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
776 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
778 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
780 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
782 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
783 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
784 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
787 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
788 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
791 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
792 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
793 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
795 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
797 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
798 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
800 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
803 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
804 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
807 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
808 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
809 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
811 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
812 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
813 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
814 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
816 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
817 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
818 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
820 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
821 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
822 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
825 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
826 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
827 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
830 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
831 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
832 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
835 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
836 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
837 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
838 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
840 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
841 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
842 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
843 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
844 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
845 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.

856 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
858 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
859 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
860 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
861 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
863 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
865 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
866 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
867 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
868 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
869 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
870 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
871 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
872 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
874 2006-04-20 Paul Lunau <temp@lunau.me.uk> (tiny change)
875 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
877 * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
878 failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
879 Report from Paul Lunau.
880 * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.
883 2006-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
885 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Match XFAIL_TESTS delimited by
886 TABs as well as spaces. Fixes PR automake/490.

888 * tests/Makefile.am, THANKS: Update.
889 Report from Diab Jerius <djerius@cfa.harvard.edu>.

893 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (find_file): Fix a typo in the
894 description; eliminate the duplicate error message.
895 * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): `Invoking Automake' is the name
896 of the usage node for `automake'

902 * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Require Autoconf 2.59c,
903 because it uses `datarootdir'. Bump copyright year and serial.

911 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_hash_varname, _hash_values): New functions.
912 (_gen_varname): Use _hash_values, and return a flag indicating whether
913 the variable name was generated or reused.
914 (transform_variable_recursively): Do not redefine variables that
915 are reused, and try to reuse the variable being transformed.
916 * tests/check2.test: Make sure TESTS hasn't been redefined.
917 * tests/check5.test, tests/exeext4.test: Make sure variables have

1089 2006-01-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1091 * lib/install-sh (dstdir): Don't use semicolons inside { } in
1092 sed scripts, as Posix says it's not portable.
1093 * lib/missing (file): Likewise.
1094 * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Likewise.
1095 * tests/comment7.test, tests/comment9.test, tests/confh.test: Likewise

1108 2006-01-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1110 * lib/am/texinfos.am (dist-info): Tighten glob to avoid unwanted
1111 extra files in distribution. Reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1113 2006-01-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1115 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
1116 Mention the file extensions that usually appear in _DEPENDENCIES,

1122 * automake.in ($gen_copyright, version): Likewise.
1123 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal, version): Likewise.

1130 (fill_dist_dirs): New function extracted from handle_dist.
1131 (handle_dist, handle_configure): Use fill_dist_dirs.
1132 * tests/distdir.test: Test for cases where $(top_srcdir) or
1133 $(srcdir) appear in EXTRA_DIST. Report from Sander Niemeijer.
1135 2006-01-05 Zack Weinberg <zackw@panix.com>
1136 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1138 * lib/depcomp: Add 'ia64hp' dependency style.
1139 Zack's original patch was contributed to GCC on 2005-06-13.
1142 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1144 * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that
1145 the code is portable to both POSIX and pre-POSIX shells.
1147 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1149 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',
1150 suggested by Eric Blake.
1152 2005-10-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1154 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Typo.
1155 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (transform_variable_recursively): Typo
1158 2005-10-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1160 * ChangeLog.03, automake.in, tests/overrid.test: Typos.
1162 2005-10-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1164 * tests/nobase.test: Exercise previous patch.
1166 2005-10-03 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com> (tiny change)

1172 2005-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1174 * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
1175 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
1176 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
1177 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
1178 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
1180 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
1182 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1184 * automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.

1193 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (variable_value): Do not read the TRUE
1194 value of a conditionally defined variable.
1195 Report from Juergen Leising.
1197 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
1198 $(MAKE) invocations.
1199 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1201 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
1202 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
1203 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
1204 Report from Stepan Kasal.
1206 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
1207 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
1209 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1211 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
1212 the $(infodir) exists.
1214 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1216 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
1218 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1220 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
1221 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
1223 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
1224 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
1225 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
1226 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
1227 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
1228 for missing files that can be installed.
1229 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
1231 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1233 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
1234 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
1236 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
1237 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
1238 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
1240 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1242 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
1243 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
1244 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
1245 if the usual candidates show up.
1247 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1249 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
1251 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1256 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1258 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
1259 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
1261 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1263 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
1264 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
1266 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
1268 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
1269 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
1272 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1274 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
1275 fix an underful hbox.
1276 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
1277 New upstream versions.
1279 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1281 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
1283 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1285 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
1286 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
1287 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
1288 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
1289 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
1291 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
1293 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
1294 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
1295 Report from Harald Dunkel.
1297 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
1299 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
1300 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
1301 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
1302 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
1304 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1306 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
1307 `mkdir -p' does not work.
1308 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
1309 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
1310 Report from Noah Friedman.
1312 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
1313 Report from Karl Berry.
1315 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1316 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1318 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
1319 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
1320 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
1322 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1324 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
1325 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
1326 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
1327 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
1328 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
1329 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
1330 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
1331 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
1332 Report from Ed Hartnett.
1334 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1336 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
1338 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
1339 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
1340 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
1341 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
1342 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
1344 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1346 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1347 Fix redirections in previous patch.
1349 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1352 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
1353 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
1354 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
1355 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
1356 Report from Bob Proulx.
1358 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
1360 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
1362 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
1364 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1366 Fix PR automake/461:
1367 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
1368 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
1369 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
1370 Report from Tom Tromey.
