784         Report by Jim Meyering and Eric Blake.
786         * lib/depcomp (gcc3): Put dependency extraction flags before the
787         `-c' flag, so they appear at the same position as in %FASTDEP%
788         mode in depend2.am.  Fixes build failure for FreeBSD's c89,
789         which ignores unknown options only after the first non-option.
790         Bug report against M4 by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
792 2006-10-14  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

803 2006-10-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
805         * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
806         which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
807         directory.  In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
808         equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
809         system.  We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
810         fixing.  Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
811         <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.
812         Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;
813         suggested by Stepan Kasal.
815 2006-10-14  Geoffrey Keating  <geoffk@apple.com> (tiny change)

822         * lib/Automake/Variable.pm: Likewise.
824 2006-10-10  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
826         * automake.in (handle_compile): Use subst, for maintainer-check.
828 2006-10-09  Andreas Köhler  <andi5.py@gmx.net>  (tiny change)
830         For PR automake/505:

832         Fix typo: `config.status.lineno', not `configure.status.lineno'.
834 2006-09-05  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
836         * NEWS: Mention that `install-sh' needs executable permissions.

842         * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Fix matching of XFAIL_TESTS
843         against currently running test for the first and last element
844         of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
845         on these words, too.
846         * tests/check6.test: Update.
848 2006-08-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
850         For PR automake/501:
851         * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%):
852         Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
853         name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
854         bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
855         This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.
857 2006-08-30  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
859         * automake.in: Fortran 77 and Fortran should require variables

870         * automake.in (handle_compile) <$default_includes>: Do not output
871         the same -I twice.  Use @am__isrc@ instead of ` -I$(srcdir)'.
872         * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
873         non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
874         * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
875         and non-VPATH builds.
877 2006-08-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
879         * doc/automake.texi, lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix some typos.

905         * automake.in (require_build_directory): Use MKDIR_P, not mkdir_p.
907         * m4/mkdirp.m4: Typo in previous patch.
909         * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fine-tune the "Unescaped @"

939         lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
940         * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
941         as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
942         mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
943         * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
944         Adjust.

986 2006-08-14  Jonathan Higa <jthiga@gmail.com>
988         * automake.in: Register "Unified Parallel C" as language.
989         (lang_upc_rewrite): New function.
990         (resolve_linker): Consider UPCLINK.
991         * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest

1012         * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
1013         AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined.  This is for
1014         newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.

1029         conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
1030         handled.
1031         * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
1032         AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
1033         definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
1034         Report from Bas Wijnen.
1035         * tests/amopt.test: New test.
1036         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1038         * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
1039         new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null.  So
1040         create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
1041         file, and erase it afterward.  Fall back to using /dev/null only
1042         if we cannot create this file.

1044         (unlink_tmp): New function.

1049         * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
1050         do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
1051         to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
1052         Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
1053         depdir computation.
1054         * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
1055         Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
1056         main program.

1059 2006-07-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

1064         (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
1065         (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
1066         cause weird behavior with the other changes below.  All later uses
1067         of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
1068         Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
1069         octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
1070         likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
1071         octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
1072         'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in

1074         (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
1075         temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
1076         (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
1077         intermediate directories; this is safer.
1078         (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
1079         /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
1080         HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
1081         Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
1082         traditional implementations.
1084 2006-07-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1086         * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.

1100         * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
1101         a changed directory.  Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
1102         * THANKS: Update.
1104 2006-06-24  Eric Dorland  <eric@debian.org>

1120             Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1122         * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
1123         distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
1124         and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
1125         Fix some comment typos.
1127 2006-06-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1129         * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
1130         7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
1131         with `-MDupdate'.  Refine test to catch this.

1258         `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
1260         * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
