662 * NEWS: mention `install-sh -C'.
664 2006-12-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
666 * lib/install-sh (initialize_posix_glob): New var.
667 Use it instead of setting posix_glob inline.
668 (posix_glob): Use '?'/''/: instead of ''/yes/no, for convenience.
669 (cmpprog, CMPPROG): New vars, since we use cmp rather than the diff
671 Use LC_ALL before invoking 'ls' when we depend on its output format.

696 2006-12-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
698 Simplify install-sh and its test. This shouldn't change any behavior.
699 (This patch is a subset of the patch proposed in

712 additional variables.

722 * doc/Makefile.am: Use $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) for building

728 instructions of the GNU Maintenance Instructions.
729 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
731 2006-11-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
733 * lib/gnupload: Add missing 'gnu' to example URL.
734 Report by Karl Berry.
736 2006-10-28 Bobby Jack <bobbykjack@yahoo.co.uk> (tiny change)
738 * doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): autoconf creates
739 configure, not configure.ac.

764 right before the expanded source file name.
765 * automake.in (%sourceflags): New global: per-extension flag
766 to denote that the next compiler argument is the source file.
767 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_FC_SRCEXT; initialize
768 %sourceflags accordingly.
769 (handle_single_transform): Store source file extension in...
770 (%lang_specific_files): ...this and...

838 $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES)' to the compile rule.
839 * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Update.
841 Suggested by Thomas Schwinge and Ralf Corsepius.
844 * automake.in (output_flag): Set to `-o' for Assembler and

854 * tests/asm2.test: New test, modeled after asm.test.
855 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
856 Report by Ralf Corsepius.
858 * doc/automake.texi (Options): `no-dependencies' is similar
859 to `--ignore-deps', not `--include-deps'.

862 * tests/nodep2.test: New test.
863 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
865 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): If we are in the
866 LIBOBJDIR, then we should not add a DEPDIR prefix.
867 * tests/pr401.test: Update test.
868 * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise.
869 * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
870 Report by Jim Meyering and Eric Blake.
872 * lib/depcomp (gcc3): Put dependency extraction flags before the
873 `-c' flag, so they appear at the same position as in %FASTDEP%
874 mode in depend2.am. Fixes build failure for FreeBSD's c89,
875 which ignores unknown options only after the first non-option.
876 Bug report against M4 by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
878 2006-10-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
879 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

887 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
889 2006-10-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
891 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
892 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
893 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
894 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
895 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
896 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
897 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.
898 Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;
899 suggested by Stepan Kasal.
901 2006-10-14 Geoffrey Keating <geoffk@apple.com> (tiny change)
903 * m4/multi.m4: Non-default multilibs may be cross compilation.

914 2006-10-09 Andreas Köhler <andi5.py@gmx.net> (tiny change)
917 * lib/am/configure.am (am__CONFIG_DISTCLEAN_FILES):

924 Report by Patrick Welche.
926 2006-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
928 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Fix matching of XFAIL_TESTS
929 against currently running test for the first and last element
930 of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
932 * tests/check6.test: Update.
934 2006-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
937 * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%):
938 Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
939 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
940 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
941 This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.
943 2006-08-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
945 * automake.in: Fortran 77 and Fortran should require variables
946 F77 resp. FC to be defined, and suggest the respective Autoconf
948 * tests/fort1.test: New test.
949 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
951 * tests/ext.test: Add extensions f95, F90, F95.
953 2006-08-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
956 * automake.in (handle_compile) <$default_includes>: Do not output
957 the same -I twice. Use @am__isrc@ instead of ` -I$(srcdir)'.
958 * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
959 non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
960 * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
961 and non-VPATH builds.
963 2006-08-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
965 * doc/automake.texi, lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix some typos.

995 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fine-tune the "Unescaped @"
996 check so it doesn't complain about the '@ 's in node "Standard
997 Directory Variables".
999 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/texinfo.tex, lib/config.sub: New
1002 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Prefix mkdir_p with
1003 $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.
1005 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1007 * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
1008 ylwrap. Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
1009 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
1010 (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always
1012 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs, Yacc and Lex): Update the

1024 lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
1025 lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
1026 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
1027 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
1028 mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
1029 * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
1032 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
1033 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to

1090 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1092 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
1094 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
1095 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
1096 other built scripts.
1098 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
1099 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
1100 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
1101 * tests/init.test: New file.
1102 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1104 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1106 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
1107 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
1108 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
1109 `make distdir' instead.
1111 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1113 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
1114 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
1115 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
1117 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
1118 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
1119 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
1120 Report from Bas Wijnen.
1121 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
1122 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1124 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
1125 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
1126 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
1127 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
1128 if we cannot create this file.
1129 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
1130 (unlink_tmp): New function.
1131 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
1133 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1135 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
1136 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
1137 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
1138 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
1140 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
1141 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
1143 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
1145 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1147 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
1148 can install only one file at a time.
1149 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
1150 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
1151 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
1152 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
1153 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
1154 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
1155 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
1156 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
1157 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
1158 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
1159 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
1160 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
1161 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
1162 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
1163 intermediate directories; this is safer.
1164 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
1165 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
1166 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
1167 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
1168 traditional implementations.
1170 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1172 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
1174 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1176 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
1177 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
1178 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
1180 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1181 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1183 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
1184 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
1185 computed by config.status.
1186 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
1187 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
1190 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
1191 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1193 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
1194 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
1195 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1197 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1199 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
1201 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1203 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
1205 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1206 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1208 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
1209 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
1210 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
1211 Fix some comment typos.
1213 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1215 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
1216 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
1217 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
1219 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
1222 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
1223 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
1224 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
1225 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
1226 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
1228 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
1230 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
1232 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
1233 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
1235 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
1236 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
1237 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
1240 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
1242 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
1244 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
1246 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
1247 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
1248 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
1250 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1252 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
1253 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
1254 directory component.
1255 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
1257 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
1258 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
1259 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
1261 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1263 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
1264 New upstream versions.
1266 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1268 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
1269 repository, they use SVN now.
1271 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
1273 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
1274 savannah.nongnu.org.
1276 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1278 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
1279 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
1280 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
1282 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1284 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
1285 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
1286 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
1287 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
1288 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
1289 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
1290 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
1292 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1294 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
1296 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
1297 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
1299 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
1300 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
1302 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
1303 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
1304 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
1305 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
1306 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
1308 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
1310 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
1312 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
1313 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
1314 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
1317 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
1318 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
1321 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
1322 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
1323 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
1325 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1327 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
1328 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
1330 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
1333 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
1334 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
1337 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
1338 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
1339 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
1341 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
1342 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
1343 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
1344 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
1346 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
1347 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
1348 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
1350 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
1351 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
1352 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
1355 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
1356 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
1357 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
1360 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
1361 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
1362 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
1365 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
1366 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
1367 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
1368 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1370 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
1371 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
1372 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
1373 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
1374 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
1375 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
1378 2006-04-26 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org> (tiny change)
1380 * doc/automake.texi (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Fix typo.
1382 2006-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1384 * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname.
1386 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1388 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
1389 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
1390 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
1391 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
1393 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1395 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
1396 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
1397 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
1398 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
1399 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
1400 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
1401 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
1402 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

1405 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1407 * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
1408 failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
1409 Report from Paul Lunau.
1410 * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.
1413 2006-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1415 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Match XFAIL_TESTS delimited by
1416 TABs as well as spaces. Fixes PR automake/490.
1417 * tests/check6.test: New test.
1418 * tests/Makefile.am, THANKS: Update.
1419 Report from Diab Jerius <djerius@cfa.harvard.edu>.
1421 2006-04-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1423 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (find_file): Fix a typo in the
1424 description; eliminate the duplicate error message.

1432 * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Require Autoconf 2.59c,

1439 2006-04-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1441 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_hash_varname, _hash_values): New functions.

1460 * m4/depend.m4: _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE AMDEPBACKSLASH.
1461 * m4/protos.m4: _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE ANSI2KNR.

1479 adjust scan_configure_dep and scan_file accordingly.
1480 (scan_configure_dep): Do not search white lines.
1481 (scan_file): Strip comments from current line after checking
1482 for serial, so that aclocal does not trip on `m4_include' macros
1483 in comments. Report from Mike Frysinger.
1484 * tests/acloca21.test: New file.

1540 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Unlink `aclocal.m4' before
1541 writing into it, to break a symlinked file.
1542 * tests/acloca20.test: New test.
1543 * tests/Makefile.am: Updated.

1547 Allow package trees (packages with subpackages) to share
1548 common distributed auxiliary files (and directories) that
1549 reside within a subpackage.
1551 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir %?TOPDIR_P%): Do not fail if
1552 `$(distdir)' already exists.

1621 * lib/install-sh (dstdir): Don't use semicolons inside { } in

1645 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
1646 Mention the file extensions that usually appear in _DEPENDENCIES,

1665 2006-01-05 Zack Weinberg <zackw@panix.com>
1666 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1668 * lib/depcomp: Add 'ia64hp' dependency style.
1669 Zack's original patch was contributed to GCC on 2005-06-13.
1672 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1674 * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that
1675 the code is portable to both POSIX and pre-POSIX shells.
1677 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1679 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',
1680 suggested by Eric Blake.
1682 2005-10-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1684 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Typo.
1685 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (transform_variable_recursively): Typo
1688 2005-10-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1690 * ChangeLog.03, automake.in, tests/overrid.test: Typos.
1692 2005-10-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1694 * tests/nobase.test: Exercise previous patch.
1696 2005-10-03 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com> (tiny change)

1704 * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
1705 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
1706 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
1707 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
1708 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
1710 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
1712 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1714 * automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.

1724 value of a conditionally defined variable.
1725 Report from Juergen Leising.
1727 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
1728 $(MAKE) invocations.
1729 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1731 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
1732 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
1733 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
1734 Report from Stepan Kasal.
1736 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
1737 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
1739 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1741 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
1742 the $(infodir) exists.
1744 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1746 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
1748 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1751 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
1753 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
1754 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.

1756 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
1757 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
1758 for missing files that can be installed.
1759 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
1761 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1763 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
1764 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
1766 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
1767 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
1768 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
1770 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1772 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
1773 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
1774 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
1775 if the usual candidates show up.
1777 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1779 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
1781 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1786 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1788 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
1789 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
1791 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1793 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
1794 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
1796 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
1798 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
1799 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
1802 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1804 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
1805 fix an underful hbox.

1811 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
1813 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1815 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
1816 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
1817 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
1818 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
1819 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
1821 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
1823 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
1824 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
1825 Report from Harald Dunkel.
1827 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
1829 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
1830 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
1831 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
1832 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
1834 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1836 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
1837 `mkdir -p' does not work.
1838 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
1839 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
1840 Report from Noah Friedman.
1842 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
1843 Report from Karl Berry.
1845 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1846 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1848 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
1849 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
1850 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
1852 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1854 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
1855 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
1856 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
1857 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
1858 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
1859 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
1860 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
1861 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
1862 Report from Ed Hartnett.
1864 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1866 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
1868 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
1869 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
1870 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
1871 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
1872 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
1874 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1876 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1877 Fix redirections in previous patch.
1879 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1884 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
1885 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
1886 Report from Bob Proulx.
1888 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
1890 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
1892 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
1894 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1896 Fix PR automake/461:
1897 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
1898 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
1899 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.

2434 updates the time stamps.
