blob465d941428ce57c05f02f544b39a34c949c29862
1 2008-03-17  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3         * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
4         $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.
5         (xsystem_hint): New function, like xsystem but allows to pass
6         a hint.
8 2008-03-11  Peter Breitenlohner  <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
10         Implement the `notrans_' prefix for untransformed manpages.
11         * automake.in (handle_man_pages), lib/am/mans.am: Implement
12         notrans_ prefix for MANS primary and rework dependencies for
13         install-man%SECTION%; use only vars defined in Makefile.am.
14         * doc/automake.texi (Renaming, Uniform, Man pages):
15         Document notrans_ prefix.
16         * NEWS: Update.
17         * tests/notrans.test: New test.
18         * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
20         * automake.in (handle_man_pages): Reindent, for next patch.
22 2008-03-08  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
24         Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
25         With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
26         to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
27         This isn't yet done with base targets.  One hope is that there,
28         the typical file name length is lower.  If this turns out to be
29         a problem, it should be revisited.
31         * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
32         installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
33         files keyed by their target directory.
34         * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
35         $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
36         (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
37         Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
38         directory to `install'.  In the nobase case, make use of
39         $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
40         populating it.  Take care of files in source and build trees,
41         and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
42         installed.
43         * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
44         (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
45         * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
46         (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise.  Also take care to keep note of
47         a list for byte compilation after installation.
48         * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
49         (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
50         to install multiple files at once.
51         * NEWS: Update.
52         Suggested by Akim Demaille.

58         regenerate files.

60         failure early and provide a sensible error message.
62         Drop usage of obsolete macros AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
63         * tests/ansi4.test: Drop AC_OBJEXT and AC_EXEEXT.
64         * tests/ansi6.test: Likewise.
65         * tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
66         * tests/condlib.test: Likewise.
67         * tests/cygwin32.test: Likewise.

89         XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
90         whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
91         bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
92         * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including

967         system.  We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
968         fixing.  Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
969         <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.

1010         Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
1011         name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
1012         bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).

1168         other built scripts.
1170         * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
1171         AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined.  This is for
1172         newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
1173         * tests/init.test: New file.
1174         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

1185         * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
1186         and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
1187         conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
1188         handled.
1189         * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
1190         AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
1191         definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
1192         Report from Bas Wijnen.
1193         * tests/amopt.test: New test.
1194         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1196         * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
1197         new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null.  So
1198         create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
1199         file, and erase it afterward.  Fall back to using /dev/null only
1200         if we cannot create this file.
1201         Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
1202         (unlink_tmp): New function.
1203         * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.

1207         * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
1208         do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
1209         to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
1210         Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
1211         depdir computation.
1212         * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
1213         Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
1214         main program.
1215         * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
1217 2006-07-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1219         * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
1220         can install only one file at a time.
1221         (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
1222         (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
1223         (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
1224         cause weird behavior with the other changes below.  All later uses
1225         of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
1226         Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
1227         octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
1228         likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
1229         octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
1230         'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
1231         <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
1232         (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
1233         temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
1234         (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
1235         intermediate directories; this is safer.
1236         (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
1237         /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
1238         HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
1239         Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
1240         traditional implementations.
1242 2006-07-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1244         * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
1246 2006-07-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1248         * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
1249         for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
1250         <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
1252 2006-06-24  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
1253             Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1255         * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
1256         `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
1257         computed by config.status.
1258         * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
1259         a changed directory.  Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
1260         * THANKS: Update.
1262 2006-06-24  Eric Dorland  <eric@debian.org>
1263             Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1265         * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
1266         * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
1267         * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1269 2006-06-07  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
1271         * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
1273 2006-06-07  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
1275         * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
1277 2006-06-06  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
1278             Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1280         * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
1281         distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
1282         and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
1283         Fix some comment typos.
1285 2006-06-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1287         * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
1288         7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
1289         with `-MDupdate'.  Refine test to catch this.
1291         * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
1292         procedure.
1294         * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
1295         requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
1296         this.  Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
1297         is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
1298         * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
1299         subsequent checks.
1300         * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
1302         * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
1303         MinGW perl.

1305         * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
1307         * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
1308         plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
1309         for grep.  Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
1310         * THANKS: Update.
1312 2006-05-26  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>  (tiny change)

1318         * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
1319         ENOLCK.  Only mention `make -j' when applicable.  Only raise
1320         fatal errors when `make -j' is involved.  Improve error message.
1322 2006-05-17  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1324         * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use

1328         this file.
1329         * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
1330         * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.

1354 2006-05-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1356         * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
1357         Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
1358         as per GNU coding standards.  Close a race condition reported by Ralf
1359         Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal.  There is still a race condition
1360         on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
1361         Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
1362         Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
1364 2006-05-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1366         * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
1367         GNUmake.
1368         * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
1369         follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
1371         * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.  Fix test that
1372         ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
1373         `configure'.
1374         * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
1375         * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise.  Do not override by setting
1376         $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
1377         * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
1378         * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise.  Use `set -e'.
1380         * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
1381         turned off later.
1382         * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
1384         * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
1385         the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
1386         it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it.  Fixes
1387         java.test failure.
1389         * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
1390         files in the source tree.  Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
1391         make.
1393         * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
1394         (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
1395         (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
1397 2006-05-10  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1399         * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD

1403         Autoconf.
1405         * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.

1407         in perl < 5.8.2.
1409         * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
1410         it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
1411         fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
1413         * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
1414         match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
1415         cause false matches.  Tighten overrides regex.  Fix typo
1416         `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
1418         * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
1419         exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
1420         * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
1422         * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
1423         if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'.  Create the wrapper in a
1424         subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
1425         loop.
1427         * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
1428         (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
1429         comment.  Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
1430         * THANKS: Update.
1432         * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
1433         and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
1434         they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
1435         file.
1437         * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes.  Replace all uses of
1438         `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
1439         * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
1440         * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1442         * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
1443         (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them.  Unifies detection of
1444         `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
1445         Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man.  Fixes
1446         PR automake/483.  Report by Dennis J. Linse.
1447         (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
1448         * THANKS: Update.

1460         * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
1461         * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
1462         mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
1463         the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
1465 2006-04-21  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

1470         (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
1471         Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
1472         with two different autoconf versions.  Report from Noah Misch.
1473         * tests/missing4.test: New file.

1479         * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
1480         failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).

1482         * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.

1901         * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
