198 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
199 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
200 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
201 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
202 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
203 a problem, it should be revisited.
205 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
206 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
207 files keyed by their target directory.
208 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
209 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
210 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
211 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
212 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
213 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
214 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
215 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be

258 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
260 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
262 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
263 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
264 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
265 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
266 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
267 setting MAKE to test gmake.

358 Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.

379 that needs it. Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
380 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and

458 Fix the distdir target to cope with spaces in absolute file names.
459 * lib/am/distdir.am: Quote all instances of $(distdir) and

1100 * tests/asm2.test: New test, modeled after asm.test.
1101 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1102 Report by Ralf Corsepius.
1104 * doc/automake.texi (Options): `no-dependencies' is similar
1105 to `--ignore-deps', not `--include-deps'.
1106 * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): If `no-dependencies', do not invoke
1108 * tests/nodep2.test: New test.
1109 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1111 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): If we are in the
1112 LIBOBJDIR, then we should not add a DEPDIR prefix.
1113 * tests/pr401.test: Update test.
1114 * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise.
1115 * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
1116 Report by Jim Meyering and Eric Blake.
1118 * lib/depcomp (gcc3): Put dependency extraction flags before the
1119 `-c' flag, so they appear at the same position as in %FASTDEP%
1120 mode in depend2.am. Fixes build failure for FreeBSD's c89,
1121 which ignores unknown options only after the first non-option.
1122 Bug report against M4 by Nelson H. F. Beebe.

1125 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1127 * automake.in ($seen_gettext_intl): New variable.
1128 (handle_gettext): Consider it.
1129 (scan_autoconf_traces): Add AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR to the list.
1130 Set $seen_gettext_intl when it is seen.
1131 * doc/automake.texi (gettext, Optional): Update.
1132 * tests/gettext3.test: New test.
1133 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1135 2006-10-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1137 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
1138 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
1139 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
1140 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
1141 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
1142 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
1143 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.
1144 Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;
1145 suggested by Stepan Kasal.

1162 For PR automake/505:
1163 * lib/am/configure.am (am__CONFIG_DISTCLEAN_FILES):

1172 2006-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1174 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Fix matching of XFAIL_TESTS
1175 against currently running test for the first and last element
1176 of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
1177 on these words, too.
1178 * tests/check6.test: Update.
1180 2006-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1182 For PR automake/501:
1183 * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%):
1184 Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
1185 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
1186 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
1187 This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.
1189 2006-08-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1191 * automake.in: Fortran 77 and Fortran should require variables
1192 F77 resp. FC to be defined, and suggest the respective Autoconf

1201 For PR automake/500:
1202 * automake.in (handle_compile) <$default_includes>: Do not output
1203 the same -I twice. Use @am__isrc@ instead of ` -I$(srcdir)'.
1204 * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
1205 non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
1206 * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
1207 and non-VPATH builds.

1242 check so it doesn't complain about the '@ 's in node "Standard
1243 Directory Variables".

1249 $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.
1251 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1253 * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
1254 ylwrap. Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
1255 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
1256 (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always

1270 lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
1271 lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
1272 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
1273 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
1274 mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
1275 * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
1278 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
1279 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to
1280 -I m4. Running aclocal during the rebuild rules will fail
1281 if the default acdir does not exist.
1283 * NEWS, configure.ac, m4/init.m4, m4/lispdir.m4, m4/mkdirp.m4:

1321 (lang_upc_rewrite): New function.
1322 (resolve_linker): Consider UPCLINK.
1323 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest
1324 AM_PROG_UPC for UPC and UPCFLAGS.

1338 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
1340 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
1341 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
1342 other built scripts.
1344 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
1345 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
1346 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
1347 * tests/init.test: New file.
1348 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1350 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1352 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
1353 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
1354 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
1355 `make distdir' instead.
1357 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1359 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
1360 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
1361 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
1363 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
1364 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
1365 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
1366 Report from Bas Wijnen.
1367 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
1368 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1370 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
1371 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
1372 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
1373 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
1374 if we cannot create this file.
1375 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
1376 (unlink_tmp): New function.
1377 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
1379 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1381 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
1382 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
1383 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
1384 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
1386 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
1387 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
1389 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
1391 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1393 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
1394 can install only one file at a time.
1395 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
1396 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
1397 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
1398 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
1399 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
1400 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
1401 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
1402 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
1403 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
1404 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
1405 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
1406 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
1407 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
1408 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
1409 intermediate directories; this is safer.
1410 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
1411 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
1412 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
1413 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
1414 traditional implementations.
1416 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1418 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
1420 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1422 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
1423 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
1424 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
1426 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1427 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1429 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
1430 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
1431 computed by config.status.
1432 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
1433 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
1436 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
1437 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1439 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
1440 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
1441 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1443 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1445 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
1447 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1449 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
1451 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1452 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1454 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
1455 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
1456 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
1457 Fix some comment typos.
1459 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1461 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
1462 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
1463 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
1465 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
1468 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
1469 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
1470 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
1471 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
1472 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
1474 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
1476 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
1478 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
1479 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
1481 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
1482 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
1483 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
1486 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
1488 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
1490 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
1492 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
1493 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
1494 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
1496 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1498 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
1499 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
1500 directory component.
1501 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
1503 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
1504 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.

1507 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1509 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
1510 New upstream versions.
1512 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1514 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
1515 repository, they use SVN now.
1517 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
1519 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
1520 savannah.nongnu.org.
1522 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1524 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
1525 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
1526 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
1528 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1530 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
1531 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
1532 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
1533 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
1534 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
1535 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
1536 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
1538 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1540 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
1542 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
1543 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
1545 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
1546 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
1548 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
1549 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
1550 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
1551 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
1552 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
1554 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
1556 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
1558 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
1559 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
1560 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
1563 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
1564 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
1567 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
1568 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
1569 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
1571 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1573 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
1574 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.

2088 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
2089 Report from Karl Berry.
2091 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2092 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2094 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
2095 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
2096 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
2098 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2100 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
2101 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
2102 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
2103 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
2104 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
2105 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
2106 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
2107 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
2108 Report from Ed Hartnett.
2110 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2112 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
2114 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
2115 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
2116 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
2117 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
2118 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
2120 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2122 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
2123 Fix redirections in previous patch.
2125 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2127 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
2128 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
2129 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
2130 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
2131 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
2132 Report from Bob Proulx.
2134 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
2136 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
2138 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
2140 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2142 Fix PR automake/461:
2143 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
2144 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
2145 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
2146 Report from Tom Tromey.
