116 2006-12-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
118 * lib/install-sh (initialize_posix_glob): New var.
119 Use it instead of setting posix_glob inline.
120 (posix_glob): Use '?'/''/: instead of ''/yes/no, for convenience.
121 (cmpprog, CMPPROG): New vars, since we use cmp rather than the diff
123 Use LC_ALL before invoking 'ls' when we depend on its output format.

148 2006-12-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
150 Simplify install-sh and its test. This shouldn't change any behavior.

180 instructions of the GNU Maintenance Instructions.
181 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
183 2006-11-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

186 Report by Karl Berry.
188 2006-10-28 Bobby Jack <bobbykjack@yahoo.co.uk> (tiny change)
190 * doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): autoconf creates

217 * automake.in (%sourceflags): New global: per-extension flag
218 to denote that the next compiler argument is the source file.
219 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_FC_SRCEXT; initialize
220 %sourceflags accordingly.
221 (handle_single_transform): Store source file extension in...

293 Suggested by Thomas Schwinge and Ralf Corsepius.
296 * automake.in (output_flag): Set to `-o' for Assembler and

300 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
301 Report by Thomas Schwinge.

307 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
308 Report by Ralf Corsepius.
310 * doc/automake.texi (Options): `no-dependencies' is similar

314 * tests/nodep2.test: New test.
315 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
317 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): If we are in the
318 LIBOBJDIR, then we should not add a DEPDIR prefix.
319 * tests/pr401.test: Update test.

321 * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
322 Report by Jim Meyering and Eric Blake.
324 * lib/depcomp (gcc3): Put dependency extraction flags before the
325 `-c' flag, so they appear at the same position as in %FASTDEP%
326 mode in depend2.am. Fixes build failure for FreeBSD's c89,
327 which ignores unknown options only after the first non-option.
328 Bug report against M4 by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
330 2006-10-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
331 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

339 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
341 2006-10-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
343 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
344 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
345 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
346 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
347 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
348 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
349 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.
350 Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;
351 suggested by Stepan Kasal.
353 2006-10-14 Geoffrey Keating <geoffk@apple.com> (tiny change)
355 * m4/multi.m4: Non-default multilibs may be cross compilation.

366 2006-10-09 Andreas Köhler <andi5.py@gmx.net> (tiny change)
369 * lib/am/configure.am (am__CONFIG_DISTCLEAN_FILES):
370 Fix typo: `config.status.lineno', not `configure.status.lineno'.
372 2006-09-05 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

376 Report by Patrick Welche.
378 2006-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
380 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Fix matching of XFAIL_TESTS
381 against currently running test for the first and last element
382 of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
384 * tests/check6.test: Update.
386 2006-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
389 * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%):
390 Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
391 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
392 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
393 This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.
395 2006-08-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
397 * automake.in: Fortran 77 and Fortran should require variables
398 F77 resp. FC to be defined, and suggest the respective Autoconf
400 * tests/fort1.test: New test.
401 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
403 * tests/ext.test: Add extensions f95, F90, F95.
405 2006-08-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
408 * automake.in (handle_compile) <$default_includes>: Do not output
409 the same -I twice. Use @am__isrc@ instead of ` -I$(srcdir)'.
410 * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
411 non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
412 * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
413 and non-VPATH builds.
415 2006-08-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
417 * doc/automake.texi, lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix some typos.

423 is enabled by default with gnu and gnits strictness.

447 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fine-tune the "Unescaped @"
448 check so it doesn't complain about the '@ 's in node "Standard
449 Directory Variables".

454 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Prefix mkdir_p with
455 $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.
457 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
459 * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
460 ylwrap. Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
461 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
462 (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always

476 lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
477 lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
478 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
479 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
480 mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
481 * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
484 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
485 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to

547 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
550 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
551 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
552 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
553 * tests/init.test: New file.
554 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
556 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
558 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
559 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
560 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
561 `make distdir' instead.
563 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
565 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
566 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
567 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
569 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
570 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
571 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
572 Report from Bas Wijnen.
573 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
574 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
576 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
577 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
578 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
579 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
580 if we cannot create this file.
581 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
582 (unlink_tmp): New function.
583 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
585 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
587 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
588 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
589 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
590 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
592 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
593 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
595 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
597 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
599 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
600 can install only one file at a time.
601 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
602 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
603 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
604 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
605 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
606 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
607 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
608 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
609 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
610 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
611 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
612 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
613 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
614 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
615 intermediate directories; this is safer.
616 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
617 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
618 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
619 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
620 traditional implementations.
622 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
624 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
626 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
628 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
629 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
630 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
632 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
633 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
635 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
636 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
637 computed by config.status.
638 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
639 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
642 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
643 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
645 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
646 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
647 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
649 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
651 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
653 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
655 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
657 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
658 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
660 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
661 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
662 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
663 Fix some comment typos.
665 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
667 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
668 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
669 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
671 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
674 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
675 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
676 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
677 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
678 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
680 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
682 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
684 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
685 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
687 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
688 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
689 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
692 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
694 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
696 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
698 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
699 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
700 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
702 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
704 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
705 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
707 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
709 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
710 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
711 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
713 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
715 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
716 New upstream versions.
718 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
720 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
721 repository, they use SVN now.
723 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
725 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
728 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
730 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
731 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
732 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
734 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
736 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
737 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
738 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
739 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
740 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
741 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
742 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
744 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
746 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
748 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
749 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
751 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
752 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
754 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
755 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
756 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
757 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
758 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
760 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
762 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
764 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
765 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
766 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
769 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
770 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
773 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
774 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
775 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
777 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
779 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
780 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
782 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
785 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
786 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
789 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
790 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
791 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
793 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
794 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
795 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
796 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
798 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
799 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
800 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
802 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
803 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
804 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
807 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
808 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
809 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
812 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
813 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
814 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
817 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
818 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
819 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
820 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
822 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
823 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
824 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
825 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
826 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
827 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.

836 * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname.
838 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
840 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
841 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
842 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
843 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
845 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
847 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
848 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
849 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
850 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
851 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
852 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
853 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
854 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
856 2006-04-20 Paul Lunau <temp@lunau.me.uk> (tiny change)
857 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
859 * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
860 failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
861 Report from Paul Lunau.
862 * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.
865 2006-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
867 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Match XFAIL_TESTS delimited by
868 TABs as well as spaces. Fixes PR automake/490.

870 * tests/Makefile.am, THANKS: Update.
871 Report from Diab Jerius <djerius@cfa.harvard.edu>.

875 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (find_file): Fix a typo in the
876 description; eliminate the duplicate error message.
877 * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): `Invoking Automake' is the name
878 of the usage node for `automake'

884 * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Require Autoconf 2.59c,
885 because it uses `datarootdir'. Bump copyright year and serial.

893 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_hash_varname, _hash_values): New functions.
894 (_gen_varname): Use _hash_values, and return a flag indicating whether
895 the variable name was generated or reused.
896 (transform_variable_recursively): Do not redefine variables that
897 are reused, and try to reuse the variable being transformed.
898 * tests/check2.test: Make sure TESTS hasn't been redefined.
899 * tests/check5.test, tests/exeext4.test: Make sure variables have

1073 * lib/install-sh (dstdir): Don't use semicolons inside { } in
1074 sed scripts, as Posix says it's not portable.

1095 2006-01-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1097 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
1098 Mention the file extensions that usually appear in _DEPENDENCIES,

1104 * automake.in ($gen_copyright, version): Likewise.
1105 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal, version): Likewise.

1113 (handle_dist, handle_configure): Use fill_dist_dirs.
1114 * tests/distdir.test: Test for cases where $(top_srcdir) or

1117 2006-01-05 Zack Weinberg <zackw@panix.com>
1118 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1120 * lib/depcomp: Add 'ia64hp' dependency style.
1121 Zack's original patch was contributed to GCC on 2005-06-13.
1124 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1126 * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that
1127 the code is portable to both POSIX and pre-POSIX shells.
1129 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1131 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',
1132 suggested by Eric Blake.
1134 2005-10-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1136 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Typo.
1137 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (transform_variable_recursively): Typo
1140 2005-10-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1142 * ChangeLog.03, automake.in, tests/overrid.test: Typos.
1144 2005-10-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1146 * tests/nobase.test: Exercise previous patch.
1148 2005-10-03 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com> (tiny change)

1156 * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
1157 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
1158 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
1159 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
1160 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
1162 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
1164 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1166 * automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.

1175 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (variable_value): Do not read the TRUE
1176 value of a conditionally defined variable.
1177 Report from Juergen Leising.
1179 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
1180 $(MAKE) invocations.
1181 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1183 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
1184 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
1185 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
1186 Report from Stepan Kasal.
1188 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
1189 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
1191 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1193 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
1194 the $(infodir) exists.
1196 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1198 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
1200 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1202 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
1203 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
1205 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
1206 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
1207 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
1208 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
1209 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
1210 for missing files that can be installed.
1211 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
1213 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1215 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
1216 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
1218 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
1219 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
1220 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
1222 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1224 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
1225 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
1226 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
1227 if the usual candidates show up.
1229 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1231 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
1233 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1238 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1240 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
1241 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
1243 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1245 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
1246 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
1248 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
1250 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
1251 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
1254 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1256 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
1257 fix an underful hbox.
1258 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
1259 New upstream versions.
1261 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1263 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
1265 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1267 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
1268 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
1269 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
1270 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
1271 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
1273 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
1275 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
1276 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
1277 Report from Harald Dunkel.
1279 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
1281 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
1282 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
1283 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
1284 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
1286 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1288 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
1289 `mkdir -p' does not work.
1290 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
1291 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
1292 Report from Noah Friedman.
1294 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
1295 Report from Karl Berry.
1297 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1298 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1300 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
1301 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
1302 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
1304 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1306 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
1307 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
1308 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
1309 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
1310 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
1311 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
1312 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
1313 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
1314 Report from Ed Hartnett.
1316 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1318 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
1320 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
1321 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
1322 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
1323 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
1324 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
1326 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1328 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1329 Fix redirections in previous patch.
1331 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1334 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
1335 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
1336 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
1337 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
1338 Report from Bob Proulx.
1340 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
1342 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
1344 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
1346 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1348 Fix PR automake/461:
1349 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
1350 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
1351 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
1352 Report from Tom Tromey.
