7 * NEWS, configure.ac: Bump version to 1.9c.
9 * NEWS, configure.ac: Bump version to 1.9b.
11 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for mkdir_p in automake.in
13 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Use MKDIR_P, not mkdir_p.
15 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Typo in previous patch.
17 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fine-tune the "Unescaped @"
18 check so it doesn't complain about the '@ 's in node "Standard
21 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/texinfo.tex, lib/config.sub: New
24 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Prefix mkdir_p with
25 $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.
27 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
29 * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
30 ylwrap. Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
31 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
32 (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always
34 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs, Yacc and Lex): Update the
35 documentation of ylwrap.
36 * tests/lex.test, tests/lex4.test, tests/mmodely.test,
37 tests/yacc.test, tests/yacc2.test, tests/yacc3.test,
38 tests/yaccpp.test: Adjust.
40 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Update statistics until 1.9.6.
42 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for mkdir_p.
43 * automake.texi (Obsolete macros): Document AM_PROG_MKDIR_P.
44 * lib/am/data.am, lib/am/distdir.am, lib/am/install.am,
45 lib/am/java.am, lib/am/libs.am, lib/am/lisp.am, lib/am/ltlib.am,
46 lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
47 lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
48 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
49 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
50 mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
51 * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
54 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
55 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to
56 -I m4. Running aclocal during the rebuild rules will fail
57 if the default acdir does not exist.
59 * NEWS, configure.ac, m4/init.m4, m4/lispdir.m4, m4/mkdirp.m4:
60 Require Autoconf 2.60 instead of some intermediate development
63 * doc/automake.texi (Standard Directory Variables): Fix multitable

67 2006-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
69 * doc/automake.texi: Fix some typos in the introduction,
70 adjust some spacing; spell `GNU Build System' consistently.

74 (DESTDIR): Fix example.
76 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
78 * doc/automake.texi (Autotools Introduction) New chapter.
79 Thanks to Ben Pfaff and Ralf Wildenhues for comments.
80 (Auxiliary Programs, Install, Dist, Third-Party Makefiles)
81 (distcleancheck): More cross references.
82 * doc/amhello/configure.ac, doc/amhello/README,
83 doc/amhello/Makefile.am, doc/amhello/src/Makefile.am,
84 doc/amhello/src/main.c: New files.
85 * doc/Makefile.am (dist_noinst_DATA): Distribute them.
86 ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): New rule.
87 (dist_doc_DATA): Install amhello-1.0.tar.gz.
88 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Update comment.
90 2006-08-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
92 * doc/automake.texi: Fix some typos.
94 2006-08-14 Jonathan Higa <jthiga@gmail.com>
96 * automake.in: Register "Unified Parallel C" as language.
97 (lang_upc_rewrite): New function.
98 (resolve_linker): Consider UPCLINK.
99 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest
100 AM_PROG_UPC for UPC and UPCFLAGS.
101 * m4/upc.m4: New file.
102 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Add UPC case.
103 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add upc.m4.
104 * doc/automake.texi (Unified Parallel C Support): New node.
105 (Public macros): Mention AM_PROG_UPC.
106 (Program and Library Variables, Flag Variables Ordering):
108 * tests/upc.test, tests/upc2.test, tests/upc3.test: New file.
109 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
110 * tests/ext.test: Also test upc files.
112 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
114 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
116 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
117 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
120 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
121 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
122 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
123 * tests/init.test: New file.
124 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
126 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
128 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
129 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
130 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
131 `make distdir' instead.
133 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
135 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
136 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
137 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
139 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
140 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
141 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
142 Report from Bas Wijnen.
143 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
144 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
146 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
147 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
148 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
149 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
150 if we cannot create this file.
151 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
152 (unlink_tmp): New function.
153 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
155 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
157 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
158 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
159 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
160 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
162 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
163 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
165 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
167 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
169 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
170 can install only one file at a time.
171 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
172 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
173 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
174 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
175 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
176 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
177 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
178 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
179 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
180 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
181 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
182 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
183 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
184 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
185 intermediate directories; this is safer.
186 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
187 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
188 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
189 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
190 traditional implementations.
192 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
194 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
196 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
198 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
199 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
200 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
202 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
203 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
205 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
206 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
207 computed by config.status.
208 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
209 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
212 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
213 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
215 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
216 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
217 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
219 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
221 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
223 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
225 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
227 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
228 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
230 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
231 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
232 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
233 Fix some comment typos.
235 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
237 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
238 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
239 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
241 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
244 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
245 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
246 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
247 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
248 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
250 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
252 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
254 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
255 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
257 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
258 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
259 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
262 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
264 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
266 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
268 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
269 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
270 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
272 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
274 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
275 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
277 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
279 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
280 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
281 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
283 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
285 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
286 New upstream versions.
288 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
290 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
291 repository, they use SVN now.
293 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
295 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
298 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
300 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
301 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
302 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
304 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
306 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
307 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
308 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
309 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
310 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
311 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
312 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
314 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
316 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
318 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
319 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
321 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
322 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
324 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
325 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
326 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
327 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
328 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
330 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
332 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
334 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
335 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
336 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
339 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
340 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
343 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
344 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
345 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
347 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
349 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
350 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
352 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
355 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
356 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
359 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
360 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
361 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
363 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
364 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
365 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
366 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
368 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
369 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
370 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
372 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
373 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
374 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
377 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
378 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
379 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
382 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
383 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
384 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
387 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
388 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
389 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
390 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
392 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
393 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
394 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
395 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
396 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
397 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
400 2006-04-26 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org> (tiny change)
402 * doc/automake.texi (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Fix typo.
404 2006-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
406 * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname.
408 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
410 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
411 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
412 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
413 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
415 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
417 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
418 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
419 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
420 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
421 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
422 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
423 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
424 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
426 2006-04-20 Paul Lunau <temp@lunau.me.uk> (tiny change)
427 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
429 * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
430 failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
431 Report from Paul Lunau.
432 * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.
435 2006-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
437 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Match XFAIL_TESTS delimited by
438 TABs as well as spaces. Fixes PR automake/490.
439 * tests/check6.test: New test.
440 * tests/Makefile.am, THANKS: Update.
441 Report from Diab Jerius <djerius@cfa.harvard.edu>.
443 2006-04-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
445 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (find_file): Fix a typo in the
446 description; eliminate the duplicate error message.
447 * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): `Invoking Automake' is the name
448 of the usage node for `automake'
449 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_gen_varname): Fix typos in the
452 2006-04-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
454 * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Require Autoconf 2.59c,
455 because it uses `datarootdir'. Bump copyright year and serial.
457 2006-04-10 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
461 2006-04-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
463 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_hash_varname, _hash_values): New functions.
464 (_gen_varname): Use _hash_values, and return a flag indicating whether
465 the variable name was generated or reused.
466 (transform_variable_recursively): Do not redefine variables that
467 are reused, and try to reuse the variable being transformed.
468 * tests/check2.test: Make sure TESTS hasn't been redefined.
469 * tests/check5.test, tests/exeext4.test: Make sure variables have
471 * tests/subst2.test: Make sure bin_PROGRAMS gets rewritten.
473 * automake.in (%ignored_configure_vars): New variable.
474 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE and fill
475 %ignored_configure_vars.

477 as VAR_SILENT. Do not special-case AMDEPBACKSLASH and ANSI2KNR
479 * m4/substign.m4: New file.
480 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add substign.m4.
481 * m4/cond.m4: _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE $1_TRUE and $1_FALSE (PR automake/477).
482 * m4/depend.m4: _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE AMDEPBACKSLASH.
483 * m4/protos.m4: _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE ANSI2KNR.
484 * tests/cond.test: Make sure TEST_FALSE and TEST_TRUE are not defined.
485 * tests/amsubst.test: New file.
486 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
488 2006-04-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
489 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
491 * automake.in (handle_single_transform): Preserve directories in

501 adjust scan_configure_dep and scan_file accordingly.
502 (scan_configure_dep): Do not search white lines.
503 (scan_file): Strip comments from current line after checking
504 for serial, so that aclocal does not trip on `m4_include' macros
505 in comments. Report from Mike Frysinger.

591 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Make the AM_PROG_CC_C_O requirement
592 a 'portability' warning, so that people can ignore it. Suggested
595 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Make -Wportability the default in

670 couple of people have been listing sources files in _DEPENDENCIES
673 * doc/automake.texi: Bump copyright year.
674 * automake.in ($gen_copyright, version): Likewise.
675 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal, version): Likewise.

685 $(srcdir) appear in EXTRA_DIST. Report from Sander Niemeijer.
687 2006-01-05 Zack Weinberg <zackw@panix.com>
688 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
690 * lib/depcomp: Add 'ia64hp' dependency style.
691 Zack's original patch was contributed to GCC on 2005-06-13.
694 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
696 * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that
697 the code is portable to both POSIX and pre-POSIX shells.
699 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
701 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',
702 suggested by Eric Blake.
704 2005-10-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
706 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Typo.
707 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (transform_variable_recursively): Typo
710 2005-10-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
712 * ChangeLog.03, automake.in, tests/overrid.test: Typos.

718 2005-10-03 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com> (tiny change)
720 * lib/am/distdir.am: Remove $(SHELL) when calling install_sh
721 * m4/strip.m4: Ditto.
722 * m4/install-sh.m4: Add $(SHELL) to the definition of install_sh
724 2005-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
726 * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
727 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
728 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
729 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
730 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
732 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
734 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
736 * automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.

741 shell in verbose mode.
743 2005-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
745 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (variable_value): Do not read the TRUE
746 value of a conditionally defined variable.
747 Report from Juergen Leising.
749 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
751 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):

755 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
756 Report from Stepan Kasal.
758 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
759 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
761 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
763 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if

766 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
768 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
770 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
772 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
773 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
775 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
776 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
777 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
778 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
779 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
780 for missing files that can be installed.
781 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
783 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>

789 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
790 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
792 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
794 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
795 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
796 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
797 if the usual candidates show up.
799 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
801 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
803 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

808 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
810 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
811 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
813 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
815 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
816 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
818 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
820 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
821 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
824 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
826 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
827 fix an underful hbox.
828 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
829 New upstream versions.
831 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
833 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
835 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
837 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
838 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
839 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
840 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
841 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
843 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
845 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
846 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
847 Report from Harald Dunkel.
849 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
851 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
852 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
853 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
854 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
856 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
858 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
859 `mkdir -p' does not work.
860 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
861 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
862 Report from Noah Friedman.
864 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
865 Report from Karl Berry.
867 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
868 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
870 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
871 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
872 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
874 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
876 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
877 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
878 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
879 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
880 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
881 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
882 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
883 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
884 Report from Ed Hartnett.
886 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
888 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
890 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
891 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
892 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
893 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
894 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
896 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
898 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):

904 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
905 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
906 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
907 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
908 Report from Bob Proulx.

912 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
914 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
916 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
919 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
920 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
921 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
922 Report from Tom Tromey.
