125         With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
126         to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
127         This isn't yet done with base targets.  One hope is that there,
128         the typical file name length is lower.  If this turns out to be

135         $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
136         (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
137         Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
138         directory to `install'.  In the nobase case, make use of
139         $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
140         populating it.  Take care of files in source and build trees,
141         and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
142         installed.
143         * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
144         (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.

160         failure early and provide a sensible error message.
162         Drop usage of obsolete macros AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
163         * tests/ansi4.test: Drop AC_OBJEXT and AC_EXEEXT.

189         XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
190         whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
191         bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.

1110         Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
1111         name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
1112         bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
1113         This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.

1130         * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
1131         non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.

1167         * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fine-tune the "Unescaped @"
1168         check so it doesn't complain about the '@ 's in node "Standard
1169         Directory Variables".
1171         * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/texinfo.tex, lib/config.sub: New
1172         upstream versions.
1174         * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Prefix mkdir_p with
1175         $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.

1179         * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
1180         ylwrap.  Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
1181         * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
1182         (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always
1183         require ylwrap.
1184         * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs, Yacc and Lex): Update the
1185         documentation of ylwrap.
1186         * tests/lex.test, tests/lex4.test, tests/mmodely.test,

1197         lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
1198         * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
1199         as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
1200         mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
1201         * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
1202         Adjust.
1204         * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
1205         * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to
1206         -I m4.  Running aclocal during the rebuild rules will fail
1207         if the default acdir does not exist.
1209         * NEWS, configure.ac, m4/init.m4, m4/lispdir.m4, m4/mkdirp.m4:
1210         Require Autoconf 2.60 instead of some intermediate development

1219         * doc/automake.texi: Fix some typos in the introduction,
1220         adjust some spacing; spell `GNU Build System' consistently.
1221         (menu): Unify node naming.
1222         (Standard Directory Variables): Clarify that this list is not
1223         exhaustive.

1240 2006-08-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1242         * doc/automake.texi: Fix some typos.
1244 2006-08-14  Jonathan Higa <jthiga@gmail.com>
1246         * automake.in: Register "Unified Parallel C" as language.
1247         (lang_upc_rewrite): New function.
1248         (resolve_linker): Consider UPCLINK.
1249         * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest
1250         AM_PROG_UPC for UPC and UPCFLAGS.

1264         * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
1266         * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp.  Show an example of script
1267         built from configure.ac.  Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
1268         other built scripts.
1270         * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
1271         AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined.  This is for
1272         newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
1273         * tests/init.test: New file.
1274         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

1283 2006-08-04  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
1285         * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
1286         and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
1287         conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
1288         handled.
1289         * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
1290         AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
1291         definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
1292         Report from Bas Wijnen.
1293         * tests/amopt.test: New test.
1294         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1296         * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
1297         new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null.  So
1298         create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
1299         file, and erase it afterward.  Fall back to using /dev/null only
1300         if we cannot create this file.
1301         Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
1302         (unlink_tmp): New function.
1303         * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
1305 2006-08-04  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1307         * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
1308         do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
1309         to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
1310         Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
1311         depdir computation.
1312         * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
1313         Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
1314         main program.
1315         * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
1317 2006-07-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1319         * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
1320         can install only one file at a time.
1321         (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
1322         (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
1323         (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
1324         cause weird behavior with the other changes below.  All later uses
1325         of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
1326         Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
1327         octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
1328         likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
1329         octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
1330         'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
1331         <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
1332         (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
1333         temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
1334         (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
1335         intermediate directories; this is safer.
1336         (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
1337         /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
1338         HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
1339         Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
1340         traditional implementations.
1342 2006-07-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1344         * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
1346 2006-07-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1348         * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
1349         for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
1350         <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
1352 2006-06-24  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
1353             Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1355         * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
1356         `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
1357         computed by config.status.
1358         * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
1359         a changed directory.  Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
1360         * THANKS: Update.
1362 2006-06-24  Eric Dorland  <eric@debian.org>
1363             Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1365         * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
1366         * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
1367         * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1369 2006-06-07  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
1371         * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
1373 2006-06-07  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
1375         * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
1377 2006-06-06  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
1378             Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1380         * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
1381         distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
1382         and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
1383         Fix some comment typos.
1385 2006-06-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1387         * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
1388         7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
1389         with `-MDupdate'.  Refine test to catch this.
1391         * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
1392         procedure.
1394         * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
1395         requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
1396         this.  Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
1397         is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
1398         * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
1399         subsequent checks.
1400         * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
1402         * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
1403         MinGW perl.

1405         * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
1407         * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
1408         plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
1409         for grep.  Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
1410         * THANKS: Update.
1412 2006-05-26  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>  (tiny change)

1422 2006-05-17  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1424         * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use

1426         directory component.
1427         * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
1428         this file.
1429         * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
1430         * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
1431         * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.

1435         * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
1436         New upstream versions.
1438 2006-05-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1440         * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
1441         repository, they use SVN now.
1443 2006-05-13  Werner Lemberg  <wl@gnu.org>
1445         * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
1446         savannah.nongnu.org.
1448 2006-05-13  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1450         * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,

1452         lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
1454 2006-05-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1456         * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
1457         Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
1458         as per GNU coding standards.  Close a race condition reported by Ralf
1459         Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal.  There is still a race condition
1460         on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
1461         Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
1462         Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.

1466         * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
1467         GNUmake.

1469         follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
1471         * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.  Fix test that
1472         ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
1473         `configure'.
1474         * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
1475         * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise.  Do not override by setting
1476         $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
1477         * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
1478         * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise.  Use `set -e'.
1480         * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
1481         turned off later.
1482         * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
1484         * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
1485         the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
1486         it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it.  Fixes
1487         java.test failure.
1489         * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
1490         files in the source tree.  Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
1491         make.
1493         * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
1494         (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
1495         (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
1497 2006-05-10  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1499         * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
1500         /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.

1880         loses the race in creating the last path component against another
1881         process.

1926         search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.

1928         AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.

1944         * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
1945         problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('.  Automake and
1946         Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
1947         if the usual candidates show up.
1949 2005-07-19  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

1972         ia64 systems).
1974 2005-07-02  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

1991         Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
1993         * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following

2000         of AC_SUBST.
2001         * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):

2027         variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
2028         only append further += in the same condition to this last helper

2040         * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
2041         definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
2042         generate_makefile.  This superfluous definition introduced long
2043         lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
2044         line length.  Report from Mathias Froehlich.
2046 2005-06-11  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

2060         * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
