554 * lib/install-sh: Implement install-sh -C.
555 (This patch is the remaining part of the patch proposed in
556 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-10/msg00077.html>.)
557 (usage): Document it.
558 (copy_on_change): New var.
559 * tests/defs.in (is_younger): New function.
560 * tests/instsh2.test: Check install-sh -C.
562 2006-12-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
564 * lib/install-sh: Fix typo in previous patch for handling --.
565 Use more-consistent style for ';;'.
566 Prefer || to if-then-else-:.
567 * tests/install2.test: Rework to avoid set -e problems.
569 2006-12-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
571 Simplify install-sh and its test. This shouldn't change any behavior.
572 (This patch is a subset of the patch proposed in
573 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-10/msg00077.html>.)
574 * lib/install-sh (usage): Use usual GNU style.
575 (dstarg): Rename as...
576 (dst_arg): this for consistency.
577 Simplify quoting of assignments.
579 Don't use '\' to continue commands: && suffices.
580 Remove useless "continue" in the argument processing,
581 and factor the shifts.
582 * tests/defs.in: Some improvements to make it set -e clean.
583 Use the traditional ":" trick to protect loops from being empty.
584 Remove an empty straightforward piece of code prepared to define
585 additional variables.
586 Use test instead of [], for consistency.
587 * tests/install2.test: Use set -e, to simplify code.
589 2006-12-20 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org> (tiny change)
591 * doc/automake.texi: Fix typo.
593 2006-11-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
595 * doc/Makefile.am: Use $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) for building
596 amhello, to prevent gmake from invoking make with MAKEFLAGS
597 it does not understand.
598 Report by Patrick Welche.
600 * lib/gnupload: Revert last change. Add pointer to upload
601 instructions of the GNU Maintenance Instructions.
602 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
604 2006-11-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
606 * lib/gnupload: Add missing 'gnu' to example URL.
607 Report by Karl Berry.
609 2006-10-28 Bobby Jack <bobbykjack@yahoo.co.uk> (tiny change)
611 * doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): autoconf creates
612 configure, not configure.ac.
615 2006-10-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

632 * lib/gnupload: Update to version 1.1 of directive file.
634 2006-10-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
636 * lib/am/depend2.am (%SOURCEFLAG%): New substitution, goes
637 right before the expanded source file name.
638 * automake.in (%sourceflags): New global: per-extension flag
639 to denote that the next compiler argument is the source file.
640 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_FC_SRCEXT; initialize
641 %sourceflags accordingly.
642 (handle_single_transform): Store source file extension in...
643 (%lang_specific_files): ...this and...
644 (handle_languages): ...adjust here. Pass flag in SOURCEFLAG.

707 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Improve warning for mismatched
710 * automake.in: For preprocessed assembler, add `$(DEFS)
711 $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES)' to the compile rule.
712 * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Update.
714 Suggested by Thomas Schwinge and Ralf Corsepius.
717 * automake.in (output_flag): Set to `-o' for Assembler and
718 preprocessed Assembler, assuming that all understand `-c -o'.
719 * THANKS, NEWS: Update.
720 * tests/subobj10.test: New test.
721 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
722 Report by Thomas Schwinge.

726 missing dependency tracking conditionals.
727 * tests/asm2.test: New test, modeled after asm.test.
728 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
729 Report by Ralf Corsepius.
731 * doc/automake.texi (Options): `no-dependencies' is similar
732 to `--ignore-deps', not `--include-deps'.
733 * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): If `no-dependencies', do not invoke
735 * tests/nodep2.test: New test.
736 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
738 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): If we are in the
739 LIBOBJDIR, then we should not add a DEPDIR prefix.
740 * tests/pr401.test: Update test.
741 * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise.
742 * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
743 Report by Jim Meyering and Eric Blake.
745 * lib/depcomp (gcc3): Put dependency extraction flags before the
746 `-c' flag, so they appear at the same position as in %FASTDEP%
747 mode in depend2.am. Fixes build failure for FreeBSD's c89,
748 which ignores unknown options only after the first non-option.
749 Bug report against M4 by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
751 2006-10-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
752 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
754 * automake.in ($seen_gettext_intl): New variable.
755 (handle_gettext): Consider it.

757 Set $seen_gettext_intl when it is seen.
758 * doc/automake.texi (gettext, Optional): Update.
759 * tests/gettext3.test: New test.
760 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
762 2006-10-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
764 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
765 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
766 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
767 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
768 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
769 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
770 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.
771 Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;
772 suggested by Stepan Kasal.
774 2006-10-14 Geoffrey Keating <geoffk@apple.com> (tiny change)
776 * m4/multi.m4: Non-default multilibs may be cross compilation.
778 2006-10-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
780 * automake.in: Fix some typos in comments.
781 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm: Likewise.
783 2006-10-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
785 * automake.in (handle_compile): Use subst, for maintainer-check.
787 2006-10-09 Andreas Köhler <andi5.py@gmx.net> (tiny change)
790 * lib/am/configure.am (am__CONFIG_DISTCLEAN_FILES):
791 Fix typo: `config.status.lineno', not `configure.status.lineno'.
793 2006-09-05 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
795 * NEWS: Mention that `install-sh' needs executable permissions.
796 * tests/nobase.test: Adjust.
797 Report by Patrick Welche.
799 2006-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
801 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Fix matching of XFAIL_TESTS
802 against currently running test for the first and last element
803 of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
805 * tests/check6.test: Update.
807 2006-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
810 * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%):
811 Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
812 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
813 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
814 This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.
816 2006-08-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
818 * automake.in: Fortran 77 and Fortran should require variables
819 F77 resp. FC to be defined, and suggest the respective Autoconf
821 * tests/fort1.test: New test.
822 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
824 * tests/ext.test: Add extensions f95, F90, F95.
826 2006-08-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
829 * automake.in (handle_compile) <$default_includes>: Do not output
830 the same -I twice. Use @am__isrc@ instead of ` -I$(srcdir)'.
831 * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
832 non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
833 * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
834 and non-VPATH builds.
836 2006-08-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
838 * doc/automake.texi, lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix some typos.
839 * NEWS: Likewise. Clarify that only one LIBOBJDIR is supported.
841 2006-08-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
843 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (usage): Mention that -Wportability
844 is enabled by default with gnu and gnits strictness.
845 Report from Bruno Haible.
847 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
849 * NEWS: Mark de-ANSI-fication as being obsolete.

858 * NEWS, configure.ac: Bump version to 1.9c.
860 * NEWS, configure.ac: Bump version to 1.9b.
862 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for mkdir_p in automake.in
864 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Use MKDIR_P, not mkdir_p.
866 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Typo in previous patch.
868 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fine-tune the "Unescaped @"
869 check so it doesn't complain about the '@ 's in node "Standard
870 Directory Variables".
872 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/texinfo.tex, lib/config.sub: New
875 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Prefix mkdir_p with
876 $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.
878 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
880 * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
881 ylwrap. Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
882 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
883 (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always
885 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs, Yacc and Lex): Update the
886 documentation of ylwrap.
887 * tests/lex.test, tests/lex4.test, tests/mmodely.test,
888 tests/yacc.test, tests/yacc2.test, tests/yacc3.test,
889 tests/yaccpp.test: Adjust.
891 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Update statistics until 1.9.6.
893 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for mkdir_p.

897 lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
898 lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
899 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
900 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
901 mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
902 * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
905 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
906 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to
907 -I m4. Running aclocal during the rebuild rules will fail
908 if the default acdir does not exist.
910 * NEWS, configure.ac, m4/init.m4, m4/lispdir.m4, m4/mkdirp.m4:
911 Require Autoconf 2.60 instead of some intermediate development
914 * doc/automake.texi (Standard Directory Variables): Fix multitable
916 (Autotools Introduction): Fix @uref usage.
918 2006-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
920 * doc/automake.texi: Fix some typos in the introduction,
921 adjust some spacing; spell `GNU Build System' consistently.
922 (menu): Unify node naming.
923 (Standard Directory Variables): Clarify that this list is not
925 (DESTDIR): Fix example.
927 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
929 * doc/automake.texi (Autotools Introduction) New chapter.
930 Thanks to Ben Pfaff and Ralf Wildenhues for comments.
931 (Auxiliary Programs, Install, Dist, Third-Party Makefiles)
932 (distcleancheck): More cross references.
933 * doc/amhello/configure.ac, doc/amhello/README,
934 doc/amhello/Makefile.am, doc/amhello/src/Makefile.am,
935 doc/amhello/src/main.c: New files.
936 * doc/Makefile.am (dist_noinst_DATA): Distribute them.
937 ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): New rule.
938 (dist_doc_DATA): Install amhello-1.0.tar.gz.

945 2006-08-14 Jonathan Higa <jthiga@gmail.com>
947 * automake.in: Register "Unified Parallel C" as language.
948 (lang_upc_rewrite): New function.
949 (resolve_linker): Consider UPCLINK.
950 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest
951 AM_PROG_UPC for UPC and UPCFLAGS.
952 * m4/upc.m4: New file.
953 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Add UPC case.
954 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add upc.m4.
955 * doc/automake.texi (Unified Parallel C Support): New node.
956 (Public macros): Mention AM_PROG_UPC.
957 (Program and Library Variables, Flag Variables Ordering):
959 * tests/upc.test, tests/upc2.test, tests/upc3.test: New file.
960 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
961 * tests/ext.test: Also test upc files.
963 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
965 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
967 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
968 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
971 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
972 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
973 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
974 * tests/init.test: New file.
975 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
977 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
979 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
980 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
981 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
982 `make distdir' instead.
984 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
986 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
987 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
988 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
990 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
991 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
992 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
993 Report from Bas Wijnen.
994 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
995 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
997 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
998 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
999 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
1000 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
1001 if we cannot create this file.
1002 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
1003 (unlink_tmp): New function.
1004 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
1006 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1008 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
1009 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
1010 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
1011 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
1013 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
1014 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
1016 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
1018 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1020 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
1021 can install only one file at a time.
1022 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
1023 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
1024 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
1025 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
1026 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
1027 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
1028 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
1029 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
1030 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
1031 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
1032 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
1033 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
1034 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
1035 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
1036 intermediate directories; this is safer.
1037 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
1038 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
1039 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
1040 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
1041 traditional implementations.
1043 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1045 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
1047 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1049 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
1050 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
1051 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
1053 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1054 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1056 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
1057 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
1058 computed by config.status.
1059 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
1060 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
1063 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
1064 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1066 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
1067 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.

1070 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1072 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
1074 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1076 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
1078 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1079 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1081 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
1082 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
1083 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
1084 Fix some comment typos.
1086 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1088 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
1089 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
1090 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
1092 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
1095 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
1096 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
1097 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
1098 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
1099 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
1101 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.

1108 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
1109 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
1110 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
1113 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
1115 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
1117 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
1119 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
1120 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
1121 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
1123 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1125 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
1126 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
1127 directory component.
1128 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
1130 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
1131 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.

1147 savannah.nongnu.org.
1149 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1152 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
1153 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
1155 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1157 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
1158 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
1159 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
1160 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
1161 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
1162 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
1163 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
1165 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1167 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
1169 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
1170 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
1172 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
1173 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
1175 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
1176 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
1177 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
1178 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
1179 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
1181 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
1183 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
1185 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
1186 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
1187 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
1190 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
1191 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
1194 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
1195 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
1196 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.

1201 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
1203 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
1206 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
1207 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
1210 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
1211 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
1212 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
1214 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
1215 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
1216 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
1217 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
1219 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
1220 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
1221 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
1223 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
1224 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
1225 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
1228 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
1229 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
1230 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
1233 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
1234 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
1235 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
1238 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
1239 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
1240 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
1241 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1243 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
1244 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
1245 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
1246 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
1247 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
1248 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.

1259 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1261 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
1262 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
1263 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
1264 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
1266 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1268 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
1269 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
1270 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
1271 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
1272 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
1273 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
1274 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
1275 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

1280 * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
1281 failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
1282 Report from Paul Lunau.

1571 * lib/am/distdir.am: Remove $(SHELL) when calling install_sh
1572 * m4/strip.m4: Ditto.
1573 * m4/install-sh.m4: Add $(SHELL) to the definition of install_sh
1575 2005-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1577 * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
1578 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
1579 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
1580 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
1581 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
1583 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
1585 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1587 * automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.
1589 2005-09-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1591 * lib/am/ltlib.am (uninstall-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Do not put
1592 shell in verbose mode.
1594 2005-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1596 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (variable_value): Do not read the TRUE
1597 value of a conditionally defined variable.
1598 Report from Juergen Leising.
1600 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
1601 $(MAKE) invocations.
1602 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1604 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
1605 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
1606 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
1607 Report from Stepan Kasal.
1609 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
1610 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
1612 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1614 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
1615 the $(infodir) exists.
1617 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1619 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
1621 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1623 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
1624 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
1626 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
1627 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
1628 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
1629 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
1630 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
1631 for missing files that can be installed.
1632 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
1634 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1636 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
1637 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
1639 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
1640 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
1641 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
1643 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1645 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
1646 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
1647 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
1648 if the usual candidates show up.
1650 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1652 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
1654 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1656 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream
1659 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1661 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
1662 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
1664 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1666 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
1667 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
1669 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
1671 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
1672 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
1675 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1677 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
1678 fix an underful hbox.
1679 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
1680 New upstream versions.
1682 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1684 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
1686 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1688 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
1689 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
1690 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
1691 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
1692 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
1694 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
1696 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
1697 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
1698 Report from Harald Dunkel.
1700 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
1702 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
1703 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
1704 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
1705 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
1707 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1709 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
1710 `mkdir -p' does not work.
1711 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
1712 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
1713 Report from Noah Friedman.
1715 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
1716 Report from Karl Berry.
1718 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1719 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1721 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
1722 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
1723 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
1725 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1727 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
1728 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
1729 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
1730 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
1731 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
1732 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
1733 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
1734 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
1735 Report from Ed Hartnett.
1737 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1739 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
1741 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
1742 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
1743 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
1744 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
1745 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
1747 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1749 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1750 Fix redirections in previous patch.
1752 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1754 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1755 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
1756 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
1757 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
1758 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
1759 Report from Bob Proulx.
1761 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
1763 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
1765 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
1767 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1769 Fix PR automake/461:
1770 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
1771 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
1772 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
1773 Report from Tom Tromey.
