4 * NEWS: Rewrite, merging 1.10b and 1.10c entries.
6 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
7 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from
10 Update release statistics, improve release-stats rule.
11 * Makefile.am (release-stats): Output stderr of pstops in
12 addition to catching it, for better debugging.
13 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.10.2.
15 Cope with parallel BSD make -jN semantics.
16 When BSD `make -jN' is used without `-B' which enables backwards
17 compatible semantics, it may reuse the same shell for several
18 commands within a rule; so ensure we do not leave it in a
19 different directory, nor `exit 0' early in a multi-command rule.
20 * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): After running `distcleancheck',
21 change back to original working directory.
22 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_HIN%): Run autoheader in a
24 * lib/am/mans.am (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Do not `exit 0' early
25 in a rule that consists of several shell invocations. Parallel
26 NetBSD `make -jN' without `-B' will use only one shell for all
27 commands, but won't respawn one after `exit 0'. Fixes
29 * tests/makej2.test: New test.
30 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
33 * lib/am/install.am: Fix typo.

38 Let AM_PATH_PYTHON honor python's idea about the site directory.
39 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): When computing pythondir and
40 pyexecdir, pass the expanded prefix resp. exec_prefix as `prefix'
41 to get_python_lib, so python can determine the name of the site
42 directory depending on the install location. Afterwards, replace
43 the directory names with the unexpanded values of $PYTHON_PREFIX
44 resp. $PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX again, to allow override according to
45 the documentation. Fixes site directory computation for Debian
46 and Ubuntu (`dist-packages' for a prefix of `/usr' or `/usr/local',
47 `site-packages' elsewhere).
48 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
50 2009-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
52 Vala: for now, require GNU make.
53 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): GNU make is currently
54 required for Vala sources.
55 * tests/vala2.test, tests/vala3.test, tests/vala5.test: Require
58 2009-05-17 Jürg Billeter <j@bitron.ch>
60 Vala: Use $(srcdir) in rebuild rules.
61 valac is always run in srcdir as the generated files are distributed.
62 So srcdir needs to be taken into account in the rebuild rules to not
63 wrongly trigger a rebuild in the wrong directory.
64 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Rebuild files in
66 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules from VPATH build.
68 Vala: Add and test rebuild rules for generated header and vapi files.
69 valac will generate additional files when using, for example, -H in
70 VALAFLAGS. We need to recognize these options and add appropriate
71 rebuild rules to fix parallel build.
72 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Recognize -H, -h,
73 --header, --internal-header, --vapi, --internal-api, --gir flags
74 to valac and rebuild rules for generated headers; distribute
75 and maintainer-clean them.
76 * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules.
78 2009-05-17 Jürg Billeter <j@bitron.ch>
79 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
81 Vala: Fix build when using per-target VALAFLAGS.
82 This does not yet implement full per-target support for VALAFLAGS,
83 however, this change at least fixes building when there is only one
84 target per source file, which is the most common situation.
85 * automake.in: Remove `VALAFLAGS' from `flags' in language struct.
86 (lang_vala_finish_target): Handle `*_VALAFLAGS rewriting' manually
87 here; check `VALAFLAGS' user variables.
88 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove vala5.test.
89 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Document per-target flag
92 2009-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
95 Document some formatting restrictions for Makefile.am files.
96 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation, Usage of Conditionals):
97 Variable assignments should not be indented by TABs, rule commands
98 should. Conditional keyword statements should not be indented.
102 2009-05-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
104 Fix copyright years in *.am files.
105 * lib/am/check.am, lib/am/check2.am, lib/am/distdir.am,
106 lib/am/program.am, lib/am/tags.am: Fix copyright years.
108 distdir: avoid duplicate `find' traversal with subpackages.
109 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir) [%?SUBDIRS%]: When recursing, set
111 [%?TOPDIR_P%]: When `$(am__skip_mode_fix)' is set, avoid tree
113 * tests/subpkg4.test: New test, to ensure that we still walk the
114 whole tree while fixing permissions. We don't ensure it is
116 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
118 Disable test cleanup trap with OSF1/Tru64 sh.
119 * configure.ac: Test whether /bin/sh has working 'set -e'
120 in conjunction with an exit trap. Set $am_cv_sh_errexit_works
121 accordingly, substitute sh_errexit_works, and warn about
122 leftover test directories with broken shells like Tru64 /bin/sh.
123 * tests/defs.in: Do not install any traps with broken shells.
125 2009-05-02 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
126 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
128 Recommend *-local hooks without commands, for extensibility.
129 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Show how to write the clean-local
130 extension with separate phony target.
131 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Practice what we preach
132 by marking this phony. For consistency, rename from ...
133 (check-clean-local): ... this.
135 2009-04-28 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

151 silent-rules: fix alignment of less verbose output.
152 * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define `$silent_var' as
153 VAR_ASIS, not VAR_PRETTY, to avoid squashing of multiple
155 * tests/silent.test: Amend test.
156 Report by Jan Engelhardt.

160 manual: fix trivial grammar errors.
161 * doc/automake.texi (Subpackages, Vala Support, Java)
162 (Checking the Distribution, Timeline): Fix `a' vs. `an' errors
164 Report by Eric Blake.
166 Indent rule commands consistently with a TAB.
167 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Consistently use TAB, not
168 spaces, for indentation of commands, even if indentation may not
170 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-info-am): Likewise.
172 Prompted by report from John Calcote.
174 parallel-tests: fix recheck* targets for non-GNU make.
175 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Override AM_MAKEFLAGS
176 to portably transport the TEST_LOGS settings through the
177 recursive `make' invocations. Fixes parallel-tests9.test
178 failure with Solaris make.
179 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Also ensure that the test
180 summary is correct for `recheck'.
181 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
183 2009-04-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
185 Avoid racy depmodes with universal builds.
186 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): If universal builds are used,
188 * lib/depcomp: Ignore `-arch' argument for makedepend depmode.
189 Report by Bruno Haible, analysis by Bruno Haible, Peter O'Gorman,
192 2009-04-21 Fabian Alenius <fabian.alenius@gmail.com> (tiny change)
194 Fix link to autotools tutorial.
195 * doc/automake.texi (Autotools Introduction): Fix broken link.
198 2009-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
200 testsuite: minor w32 fixes.
201 * tests/depend5.test: Don't fail if the system or file system
202 cannot handle weird characters, instead just try a few.
203 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Really wait until the serial test
204 has finished, before letting the cleanup trap do its work.
205 Report by Bruno Haible.
207 Avoid nonportable `./FILE' instead of `FILE' in test.
208 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not use `$(top_builddir)/sub/libname.la'
209 in *_LDADD entry if `$(top_builddir)' is `.'. Fixes test failure
210 with parallel NetBSD make.
212 Detect make `include' style also with parallel non-GNU make.
213 Parallel NetBSD make outputs `--- $target ---' messages,
214 parallel HP-UX make outputs `Making target"$target"'. Just
215 ignore all additional output for the include test.
216 * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Ignore additional output
217 produced by `make' to relax `include' style detection.
219 manual: add FAQ `Debugging Make Rules'.
220 * doc/automake.texi (Debugging Make Rules): New FAQ section.
221 (Top, FAQ): Adjust menus, and capitalization of the description
222 of the `Hard-Coded Install Paths' node.
223 (Multiple Outputs): Add comment to restore font-lock for vim.
224 Suggestion by Karl Berry.
226 Let XFile::lock warn and fail with parallel non-GNU make, too.
227 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Also match `-j' for parallel BSD
228 make, and `-P' for parallel HP-UX make.
230 Fix AM_PROG_VALAC version requirement detection.
231 * m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Remove `Vala ' from valac
232 --version string before comparing versions.
233 * tests/vala2.test: Require version 0.7.0 for the test.
234 Fixes failures of vala2.test and vala3.test with older valac.
236 Correctly treat all assignments with bogus trailing comments.
237 Before this patch, automake would silently fail to diagnose and
238 to copy into the output those variable assignments which are
239 preceded by a comment, and end in backslash newline comment.
240 * automake.in (read_am_file): When determining whether an
241 escaped newline followed by a comment is an error, correctly use
242 the parser state, not the contents of a saved comment, which
243 could still be carried over from a comment before an assignment.
245 * tests/commen11.test: New test.
246 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
247 Report by Karl Berry.
249 2009-04-14 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
251 manual: improve markup: itemize list in `Extending'.
252 * doc/automake.texi (Extending): Use `@item's for user override
255 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
257 bin_PROGRAMS = $(EXTRA_PROGRAMS) should work.
258 * automake.in (am_install_var): For `PROGRAMS' primary, strip
259 `$(EXEEXT)' here already, so the name uniquifying works even
260 when we look at names repeatedly, with inconsistent executable
261 extension; through variable references, we might have added
262 the extension ourselves earlier.
263 (handle_programs): No need to strip `$(EXEEXT)' here any more.
264 * tests/extra8.test: New test.
265 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
267 Report by Daniel Richard G.

295 * tests/vala2.test: Test full build, distcheck, and distclean.
296 * tests/vala3.test: Likewise, also test with subdir-objects.
297 * tests/vala4.test: Bump copyright years.
298 * tests/vala5.test: New test for per-target flags, expected to fail.
299 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
302 2008-10-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
304 Minor fixups for Vala support.
305 * automake.in: $(VALAFLAGS) comes after $(AM_VALAFLAGS).
306 * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Add some references,
307 document AM_VALAFLAGS, streamline a bit.
308 * lib/am/vala.am: Copyright blurb.
309 * m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Rewrite using AS_VERSION_COMPARE.

318 2008-10-09 Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>
320 * automake.in: Support Vala in non-recursive builds. Make sure
321 foo_VALAFLAGS really use used. Inject --library switch when building
323 * doc/automake.texi, NEWS: Document Vala support.
324 * m4/vala.m4: Rename AC_PROG_VALAC to AM_PROG_VALAC.
325 * tests/Makefile.am: Additional Vala tests.
326 * tests/vala.test: Also test VALAFLAGS support.
327 * tests/vala1.test: Test non-recursive Vala support.
328 * tests/vala2.test: Test _PKGNAME variables.
329 * tests/vala3.test: Test compiling of C code generated by Vala.
331 2008-10-09 Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>
333 Initial support for the vala programming language.
334 * automake.in: Add %known_libraries, lang_vala_rewrite,
335 lang_vala_finish and lang_vala_target_hook to support the Vala
336 programming language. Register Vala language hooks.
337 * lib/am/vala.am: Empty rules file to prevent creation of depend2
338 based rules for Vala code.
339 * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Add vala.am.
340 * m4/vala.m4: Provide AC_PROG_VALAC for detecting the Vala compiler.
341 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add vala.m4.
342 * tests/vala.test: Test Vala support.
343 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
345 2009-04-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
347 testsuite: do not fail on systems without read permissions.
348 * tests/instfail-info.test: Do not use the `non-root'
349 requirement for testing whether files may be made unreadable;
350 instead use `test -r' and skip the test if that still works.
351 * tests/instfail-java.test: Likewise.
352 * tests/instfail-libtool.test: Likewise.
353 * tests/instfail.test: Likewise.
354 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Likewise.

356 * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
357 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Likewise.
359 testsuite: parallel make fixes.
360 This patch fixes a couple of testsuite bugs exposed with
361 `MAKE=make\ -jN make check'.
362 * tests/libtoo10.test: Do not run `clean' in same $MAKE
363 invocation as `all check'. Fixes test failure with parallel
365 * tests/nobase.test: Be sure to create a directory before
366 creating files in it. Fixes test failure with MAKE=`make -jN'
367 for NetBSD make. This issue is hidden with parallel GNU make
368 due to its parallel breadth first update order.
369 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Skip if $MAKE contains `-j',
370 GNU make will use the environment variable $MAKE for recursion
371 and thus run in parallel even if `$MAKE -j1' was used on the
372 command line in the test. Also, after running the test proper,
373 wait long enough so that background jobs have finished and there
374 are no open files left when the cleanup code runs.
376 2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
378 silent-rules reorganization, --enable-silent-rules switch.
379 This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default
380 verbosity. Since configure now needs to know whether the
381 `silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be
382 set within AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, or with a new AM_SILENT_RULES macro
383 but not any more through AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or the automake
384 command line option `--silent-rules'.
385 * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define the default verbose
386 variable in terms of `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'.
387 (handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.
388 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'. If seen,
389 enable global `silent-rules' option.
390 (usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'.
391 (parse_arguments): Do not accept `--silent-rules'.
392 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Overhaul. Document
393 AM_SILENT_RULES, --enable-silent-rules, --disable-silent-rules,
394 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY. Show an example for user-added variables
395 for less verbose output.
396 (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'.
397 (Public Macros): Document `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
399 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
400 `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac.
401 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If the `silent-rules' option
402 was enabled, require `AM_SILENT_RULES'; move AM_BACKSLASH
403 initialization to ...
404 * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): ... this new file, new macro.
405 Deal with `--enable-silent-rules' switch; define
406 AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.
407 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add silent.m4.
408 * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use
410 * tests/flavor.test: Remove test for `--silent-rules'.
411 * tests/silent.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
412 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; use `--enable-silent-rules'.
413 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
414 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
415 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
416 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
417 * tests/silent6.test: Likewise. Test `AM_SILENT_RULES' as well
418 as `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([silent-rules])' instead of
420 * tests/silent7.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
421 `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; ensure the latter is rejected.
422 Test combinations of --enable-silent-rules and
423 --disable-silent-rules with `make V=0' and `make V=1'.
424 Suggestion for configure-time switch by Bob Friesenhahn.
426 manual: Add note about parallelism and tests ordering.
427 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
428 Dependencies between test logs work for tests with known
429 extensions only. Hint that tests should be prepared to be run
432 Fix maintainer-check failure.
433 * tests/suffix13.test: Use Exit not exit.
435 2009-04-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
437 parallel-tests: more testsuite exposure.
438 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Also test overriding TEST_LOGS and
441 parallel-tests: let VERBOSE=yes output appear before summary.
442 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): In `VERBOSE=yes' mode,
443 output contents of `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' before, rather than after
444 the test suite summary. This ensures that the email address
445 appears near the end of the output; also, the log file already
446 starts with a result summary anyway.
448 parallel-tests: `clean recheck' should not rerun all tests.
449 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-html): Do not rerun all
450 tests if `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' does not exist.
451 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Adjust recheck test.
452 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Adjust recheck-html test.

459 parallel-tests: Fix driver for nonempty executable extension.
460 * automake.in (handle_tests): New substitution `%am__EXEEXT%',
461 defined as 'FALSE' for non-generic rules, or if no programs are
462 built at all. Otherwise, define it as configure conditional.
463 * lib/am/check2.am [%am__EXEEXT%] (%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): New
464 conditional generic rule.
465 * m4/init.m4: Hook an m4_provide of `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' onto
466 Autoconf's `_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT' macro.
467 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' has been provided
468 at `AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE' time, then introduce a conditional
469 `am__EXEEXT', defined to true iff `$EXEEXT' is nonempty.
470 * tests/check5.test: Only match `_EXEEXT_[1-9]' here, to avoid
471 false positives stemming from `@am__EXEEXT_TRUE@'.
474 2009-04-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
476 Fix a couple of $(EXEEXT)-related testsuite failure.

494 Reports by Florian Briegel and Stepan Kasal.
496 2009-04-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
498 Do not remove texinfo outputs upon mostlyclean.
499 * lib/am/texinfos.am: New substitutions %MOSTLYCLEAN%,
501 (clean-aminfo): New target, remove %TEXICLEAN% if nonemtpy,
502 declare phony. Hook this target to ...
503 (clean-am): ... this and ...
504 (?CYGNUS?clean-info): ... this.
505 (maintainer-clean-aminfo): Remove %MAINTCLEAN% if nonempty,
507 (mostlyclean-aminfo): Remove %MOSTLYCLEAN%.
508 * automake.in (handle_texinfo_helper): Return three arrays
509 $MOSTLYCLEAN, $TEXICLEAN, $MAINTCLEAN, instead of one array.
510 Only put LaTeX helper files in $MOSTLYCLEAN, the rest in
512 (handle_texinfo): Accept these, chop off extra newline, and
513 substitute them in `texinfos.am'.

519 2009-04-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
521 testsuite: unset TESTS, TEST_LOGS, to avoid interference.
522 * tests/defs.in: Unset TESTS, TEST_LOGS.
524 testsuite: generate $(parallel_tests) just when needed.
525 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): No need to list
526 $(parallel_tests) here, they can be generated as needed during
527 the test run, following our recommendation in the manual.
529 Remove superfluous line from recheck recheck-html.
530 * lib/am/check.am (recheck recheck-html): Remove superfluous
531 line, introduced bogusly in last commit.
533 2009-04-06 Akim Demaille <akim@lrde.epita.fr>
534 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
536 parallel-tests: redo check-html, recheck, recheck-html.
537 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-am): Remove.
538 (recheck-TESTS): Rename to ...
539 (recheck): ... this and rewrite, factored ...
540 (recheck-html): ... with this rule. Pass TEST_LOGS rather than
541 RECHECK_LOGS to `check' and `check-html', respectively, to avoid
542 running outdated tests. Invoking the public macros ensures
543 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time. Do not output errors
544 for tests that were not run yet. If the testsuite has not run
545 at all, run all tests.
546 (check-html): Run `check' target, not `check-TESTS', to ensure
547 `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time.
548 (.PHONY, .MAKE, AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Adjust contents.
549 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Expose the check-html and
551 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Expose the recheck issues.
552 Bugs in previous version pointed out by Akim, who already had
553 them fixed in his original version.
555 2009-04-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
557 parallel-tests: LOG_COMPILER for tests without known extension.
558 * automake.in (handle_tests): If we don't match a known
559 extension, define `LOG_COMPILER' as `$(LOG_COMPILE)
560 $(AM_LOG_FLAGS) $(LOG_FLAGS)' and use it as %COMPILE% in check2.
561 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
562 Document it. In the examples, suggest using the AM_*LOG_FLAGS
563 flags in Makefile.am rather than the variables without `AM_'
565 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (AM_PL_LOG_FLAGS): Renamed from
566 (PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... this variable, intended for the user.
567 * tests/parallel-tests7.test: Extend test.
569 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
571 More node renaming in the manual.
572 * doc/automake.texi (Top): Adjust menu to ...
573 (API Versioning): ... this node being renamed from ...
574 (API versioning): ... this, and ...
575 (Wildcards): ... this being renamed from ...
576 (wildcards): ... this.
577 Report by Karl Berry.

581 * tests/instdir-java.test: Don't require gcj. Skip if javac is
584 2009-04-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
586 Fix testsuite failures due to nonexistent `dirlist' entries.
587 * tests/defs.in: When parsing `$aclocaldir/dirlist', only add
588 existing directories D to aclocal `-I D' flags, as aclocal
589 errors on nonexisting directories.
590 Report and analysis by Andreas Schwab.

598 2009-03-31 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
600 Avoid test failure due to paranoid TAR_OPTIONS envvar setting.
601 * tests/txinfo18.test: Don't let a TAR_OPTIONS=--keep-old-files
602 environment variable setting cause test failure. Fixed in
605 Use more common spelling in diagnostic: s/canonic/canonical/.
606 * automake.in (check_typos): s/canonic/canonical/.
608 2009-03-31 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
610 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.10c.

615 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add statistics for 1.10b.
617 * NEWS: Minor update.
619 Reorganize nodes in the manual.
620 Avoid texinfo sectioning commands without nodes, by either
621 introducing new nodes along with menus, or using headings
622 commands. Adjust all references.
623 * doc/automake.texi: Throughout the manual, adjust references to
624 new or changed node names. Rename `non-configured' to
625 `unconfigured', capitalize headings and section names better.
626 (Top): List new menus and nodes introduced below.

687 2009-03-29 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
689 Update AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS for parallel-tests.
690 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS):
691 Add check, recheck, check-html, recheck-html.

696 parallel-tests: New target recheck-html.
697 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (recheck-html): New phony,
698 recursive target. Factor common implementation with
700 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document recheck-html.
701 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Test it.
703 2009-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
704 Akim Demaille <akim@lrde.epita.fr>
706 parallel-tests: redo lazy checking: recheck and RECHECK_LOGS.
707 Replace the LAZY_TEST_SUITE API with a simpler yet more powerful
708 one: RECHECK_LOGS specifies those tests which are to be removed
709 in any case before testing. Provide a `recheck' convenience
710 target to set RECHECK_LOGS to all failed and unexpectedly passed
711 tests. Document several ways to limit the set of tests run.
712 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (RECHECK_LOGS): New variable,
713 default to $(TESTS_LOGS).
714 (check-TESTS): Remove $(RECHECK_LOGS) not $(TEST_LOGS). Drop use
716 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Do not output note about lazy rerun, as
717 LAZY_TEST_SUITE is gone.
718 (recheck): New target.
719 (recheck-am, recheck-TESTS): New internal targets.
720 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Update @vindex for TESTS and
721 TEST_LOGS. Replace description of LAZY_TEST_SUITE with a list
722 of ways the set of tests to be run can be modified. Document
723 RECHECK_LOGS and the recheck target.
724 * tests/defs.in: Unset RECHECK_LOGS not LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
725 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Adjust, replacing LAZY_TEST_SUITE
726 with corresponding RECHECK_LOGS settings.
727 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: New tests.
728 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
729 Suggestion and different implementation by Akim Demaille.
731 parallel-tests: do not mark check-TESTS as `.MAKE'.
732 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Remove check-TESTS.
733 This rule removes files, which should not be executed with BSD
736 parallel-tests: warn about $(srcdir), $(top_srcdir) in TESTS.
737 * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn about portability issue
738 concerning generated TESTS files listed with a `$(srcdir)/'
739 or `$(top_srcdir)/' prefix.
740 * doc/automake.texi (TESTS): Document this issue. Mention that
741 the parallel-tests driver is still experimental.
742 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: New test.
743 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
745 check-html: Always create HTML output, note conversion failure.
746 * lib/am/check.am (check-html): Create `$(TEST_SUITE_HTML)' in
747 any case. Exit unsuccessfully if HTML creation failed.
748 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Amend test to expose this.
750 2009-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
752 parallel-tests: per-extension test driver: <EXT>_LOG_COMPILER.
753 For test files with extension <ext>, introduce the internal
754 variable <EXT>_LOG_COMPILE, which expands to
755 $(<EXT>_LOG_COMPILER) $(AM_<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS) $(<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS).
756 Turn also the lib/Automake/tests testsuite over to the new
758 * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document `EXT_LOG_COMPILER' and
760 * lib/am/check2.am: Insert `%COMPILE%' right before test.
761 * automake.in (handle_tests): Substitute `COMPILE' for check2,
762 empty for tests without extension, and `$(ext_LOG_COMPILE)' for
763 extension `ext'. In the latter case, define it from the public
765 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use `parallel-test' globally.
766 * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove, not needed here
768 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Split ...
769 (PL_LOG_COMPILER, PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... into these new variables.
770 (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): New variable, initialize to `.pl'.
771 * tests/parallel-tests7.test: New test.
772 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
773 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
775 2009-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
777 parallel-tests: also record logs of SKIPped tests.
778 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Record
780 Suggested by Jim Meyering.
782 Minor optimization in parallel-tests text box creation.
783 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL-TESTS] (am__text_box): Use only one
784 awk invocation, rather than several tools, to create a text box.
785 Suggestion from Akim Demaille.
787 2009-03-29 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

821 manual: minor cleanups.
822 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Adjust spacing in example.
823 (Mixing Fortran 77 With C and C++): Drop unneeded @page breaks.
825 Sane (un)install for empty directory variables.
826 This patch fixes all install and uninstall rules to behave
827 sanely when $(wheredir) is the empty string, but $(where_HOW) is
828 nonempty, for all kinds of values of `where' and `HOW'.
829 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%, uninstall-%DIR%%PRIMARY%):
830 Do not touch the install tree if the corresponding directory variable
831 $(%NDIR%dir) is empty.

852 tests/instdir-texi.test: New tests.
853 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
855 Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
857 Ensure that empty directory variables work with empty content variables.
858 This test ensures that, if both $(wheredir) and $(where_HOW) are
859 the empty string, then the `install' and `uninstall' rules behave
860 sanely, for several directory variables `wheredir' and several
862 * tests/instdir.test: New test.
863 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
865 2009-03-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
867 Use --tag=FC with libtool also for .f90 files.
868 * automake.in: Set 'libtool_tag' for language `fc'.
869 * tests/fort5.test: Grep for the tag.

874 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
877 DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
878 When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
879 (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
880 thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
881 distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
882 need to be made writable recursively. Since file modes should
883 not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'.
884 * lib/am/distdir.am: Handle this situation.
885 * tests/distdir.test: Extend test to those cases.
887 Report by Peter Breitenlohner.
889 2009-03-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
891 Fix a documentation typo.
892 * doc/automake.texi (Headers): Clarify the note telling when it's
893 better not to use noinst_HEADERS.
895 2009-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
897 Define AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS, for gnulib's GNUmakefile.
898 This new macro lists all public targets which invoke `make'
899 recursively, or depend on targets which do so. It allows to
900 prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
901 passed on the `make' command line.
902 * lib/am/distdir.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): New
904 * lib/am/subdirs.am (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Likewise.
905 * lib/am/tags.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS):
908 2009-03-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
910 Fix LAZY_TEST_SUITE handling and $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) recreation.
911 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Expand `$(TEST_LOGS)' only once
912 in the rule command, for systems with low command line limits.
913 Remove $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) even in LAZY_TEST_SUITE mode.
914 ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Always recreate $(TEST_SUITE_LOG). Mention
915 lazy mode in the summary output.
916 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Test LAZY_TEST_SUITE semantics.
918 2009-03-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
920 Fix parallel-tests with empty $(TESTS) for BSD make.
921 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Ignore
922 empty line stemming from empty $(TEST_LOGS), to avoid counting
924 (check-TESTS): If `$(TESTS)' is empty, override TEST_LOGS to be
925 empty, rather than `.log', for BSD make.
926 * tests/parallel-tests6.test: New test.
927 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
929 Mark check-html and check-TESTS as recursive for BSD make.
930 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Add check-TESTS
931 and check-html prerequisites.
933 Match XFAIL_TESTS correctly with Solaris make.
934 * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS]: VPATH rewriting may have
935 changed test names, so srcdir needs to be taken into account
936 explicitly when checking against the list of tests expected
937 to fail. Fixes spurious FAILures from XFAIL_TESTS.
939 Use append mode to capture parallel test output.
940 * tests/lisp8.test: Use append mode for output from `make -j',
941 to avoid dropped lines.
942 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
944 parallel-tests: Fix summary output.
945 * lib/am/check.am (am__text_box): Fix unportable sed script,
946 replacing `\n' in the right hand side of an `s' command with
947 a literal newline. Kudos to Bruno Haible for the newline idea.
948 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Update test to expose this.
950 2009-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
952 Overhaul of tests/README.
953 * tests/README: General overhaul. Mention parallel test suite
954 execution, the test-suite.log file; document `Exit' vs. `exit',
955 `defs' vs. `defs-p', the naming of `parallel-tests' tests.
956 * README: Simplify, point to tests/README.
958 Documentation for the parallel-tests driver.
959 * doc/automake.texi (Tests, Options): Document the `parallel-tests'
960 option, including new features of the test driver.
963 New tests for `parallel-tests'.
964 * tests/parallel-tests.test: New file, to expose a bunch of
965 features of `parallel-tests': VERBOSE, clean, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
966 test dependencies, DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS.
967 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: New file, test check-html.
968 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: New file, test concurrency.
969 * tests/parallel-tests4.test: New file, test suffix rules.
970 * tests/parallel-tests5.test: New file, demonstrate compile/test
972 * tests/defs.in: Add a `required' check for rst2html.
973 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
975 parallel-tests: Ensure backward-compatible semantics.
976 For each test in Automake's test suite that uses TESTS, generate
977 an identical one that uses the `parallel-tests' option, for
978 coverage of backward-compatible functionality.
979 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: New file, generates distributed
980 Makefile.am snippet tests/parallel-tests.am to list all tests
981 that use the TESTS interface but not yet the `parallel-tests'
982 option, with names mangled to use suffix `-p.test', in ...
983 (parallel_tests): ... this new make macro.
984 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/parallel-tests.am)
985 ($(parallel_tests), defs-p): New rules.
986 (TESTS): Add check11.test and $(parallel_tests).
987 (check_SCRIPTS): Add defs-p, $(parallel_tests).
988 (check-clean-local): Remove `defs-p'.
989 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute gen-parallel-tests.
990 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): New variable, remove $(parallel_tests).
991 * bootstrap: Generate parallel-tests.am.
992 * tests/check8.test: Check for circular dependencies in rules.
993 * tests/check11.test: New test, check that SKIPs are not counted
995 * tests/defs.in: Unset DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS, LAZY_TEST_SUITE,
996 VERBOSE, so the tests are not influenced by the way our test

1004 Parallel test execution: new option `parallel-tests'.
1005 * automake.in (handle_tests): Set new conditional PARALLEL_TESTS
1006 when reading check.am. Handle option `parallel-tests' and all
1007 its new semantics. Define macros TEST_SUFFIXES, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
1008 TEST_SUITE_HTML, TEST_LOGS, TEST_LOGS_TMP, suffix rules if
1009 applicable, and per-target rules for other tests. Add all log

1045 `silent' mode unconditionally overrides portability-recursive.

1188 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): When checking the msvisualcpp
1189 and msvcmsys depmodes, do not require `-c -o' to work just yet.
1190 It is not needed by the depcomp script for these depmodes, and
1191 works around the ordering issue between the tests.
1192 Report by Peter Rosin.

1214 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Separate the creation of
1215 `$(distdir)/$$subdir' for `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' and the recursion
1216 into the `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' in two separate rule commands.

1218 as detected by a witness file.

1223 2009-03-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1225 Solaris make testsuite fixes.
1226 * tests/check10.test: When a rule fails, Solaris make will
1227 output the complete command that failed; in this case the test
1228 suite driver. Adjust the test to not bogusly match lines from
1229 the driver, rather than its output.
1230 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Avoid triggering VPATH rewriting,
1231 not desirable in this test.
1232 * tests/specflg10.test: Use BUILT_SOURCES to specify an
1233 intermediate target, so Solaris make knows what to do.
1235 testsuite: SKIP compile tests if configure found no compiler.
1236 * tests/depend6.test: configure will exit 77 if AC_PROG_CC found
1237 no working compiler. Allow the test to be SKIPped in that case.

1268 * doc/automake.texi: Avoid bare `automake' in the manual,
1269 replacing occurrences with `@command{automake}' when the command
1270 is meant, and `Automake' when speaking about the software

1298 * lib/gnupload: New options --delete, --symlink, --rmsymlink,
1299 --symlink-regex, --dry-run; support `--' to separate options and
1300 commands from files. New target download.gnu.org.ua. Expand
1301 `.gnupload' file contents before command line arguments.
1303 (dprint, mkdirective, mksymlink, upload): New functions.

1309 * lib/depcomp [msvisualcpp]: Fork fewer processes. Filter out
1310 libtool in the preprocessor invocation (as is done in
1311 depmode=cpp). Silence compiler stderr.
1312 [msvcmsys]: New depmode as a derivative of depmode=msvisualcpp.
1313 msvcmsys transforms any backslashes into forward slashes to
1314 make the grep in depend.m4 match, instead of the "cygpath -u"
1315 that is used in msvisualcpp.

1390 Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
1391 Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
1392 containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play
1393 well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
1394 as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
1395 generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
1396 This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
1397 but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
1398 * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
1399 page due to missing help2man.
1400 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true
1401 if this makefile deals with man pages.
1402 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): If %INSTALL-MAN% and %HAVE-MANS%,
1403 check that no man page in $(MANS) contains the replacement text

1651 when determining whether to apply the old rule for the libtool
1652 library default source name.
1653 Testsuite failure exposed by Bob Proulx' build daemon.

1691 (require_conf_file): Enqueue if needed.
1692 (get_number_of_threads): Can do threads with --add-missing now.
1693 (handle_makefiles_threaded): Let worker threads enqueue, let
1694 master attend to queued requirements at the right time.
1695 * tests/parallel-am.test: Explain the purpose of the include
1697 * tests/parallel-am2.test: Also cope with --add-missing.

1700 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1702 Implement serialization for Locations.
1703 * lib/Automake/Location.pm (serialize, deserialize): New
1704 functions. They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and
1705 to restore a Location from a thread queue. The API is
1706 unsymmetric (array vs. queue) because enqueuing data needs to
1709 Parallel automake: ordered output messages.
1710 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (%_default_options): New options
1711 `ordered' default enabled, `queue', default zero (no queue),
1712 `queue_key' default undefined.
1713 (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
1714 messages or backtrace output.
1715 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
1716 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
1717 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
1718 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
1719 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
1721 (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
1722 to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.
1723 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Unset channel option `ordered'
1724 for fatal, automake, and verb channels.
1725 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as
1727 (handle_makefiles_threaded): Create message queues for each
1728 input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
1729 ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.
1730 * tests/parallel-am.test: Also check for ordered output (in the
1731 absence of --add-missing races).
1732 * tests/parallel-am2.test: New test; check for ordered output of
1733 warning and (regular) error messages.
1734 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1736 Parallel automake execution: AUTOMAKE_JOBS.
1737 * lib/Automake/Config.in (perl_threads): New global.
1738 * automake.in: Use it. If the perl supports interpreter-based
1739 threading, then use `threads' and `Thread::Queue'.

1741 factored out from main.
1742 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
1743 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
1744 of independent makefiles.
1745 (handle_makefiles_threaded): New function. Spawn threads, use
1746 thread queue to distribute handling the different makefiles.
1747 Collect $exit_code values from threads.
1748 (main): Use new functions.
1749 * aclocal.in: No threads here.

1753 * Makefile.am (do_subst): Likewise.
1754 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Likewise.
1755 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use `Automake::Config' and
1757 (verb): Prepend thread ID (tid) to verbose messages.
1758 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (msg): Before exiting, flush stderr,
1759 needed for worker threads.
1760 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Also
1761 include the build tree path, so Config.pm is found.
1762 * tests/parallel-am.test: New test.
1763 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

1770 Minor file checking optimization: set_dir_cache_file.
1771 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (set_dir_cache_file): New function.
1772 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Instead of resetting the
1773 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
1774 using set_dir_cache_file.
1776 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
1777 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
1778 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
1779 as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
1780 enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.
1781 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (fatal, automake, verb): Set
1782 `uniq_part' to `UP_NONE' when registering these channels.
1784 Fix 'config.status --file=... depfiles' with new Autoconf.
1785 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Eval
1786 $CONFIG_STATUS contents if we detect the quoting used by
1787 Autoconf 2.62 and newer for --file=.

1795 Support for Python 3.0, drop support for pre-2.0.
1796 * lib/py-compile: Do not import string; use sys.stdout.write
1797 instead of print, files.split instead of string.split.
1798 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Also look for python3 and
1799 phython3.0; do not look for python1.5. Use sys.stdout.write.
1800 (AM_PYTHON_CHECK_VERSION): Do not use string; adjust to xrange
1801 removal in Python 3.0, and changed semantics of map.
1802 * doc/automake.texi (Python, Hard-Coded Install Paths): Update
1803 Python versions mentioned in the manual, using 2.5 everywhere.
1804 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

1808 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (@chain): Drop unused variable.
1810 Cleanup of per-input global variables in automake.in.
1811 * automake.in ($output_vars, $output_all, $output_header)
1812 ($output_rules, $output_trailer): Fix comment, and sort
1813 declarations in the order they will appear in the output.
1814 ($all_target): Unused variable, remove.
1815 (Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,
1816 clarify that %am_file_cache is not reset.
1817 (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
1818 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
1819 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort
1820 remaining variables in the same order as in the section
1821 `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.
1823 Let stderr output end up on fd 2 in testsuite.
1824 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Output recorded stderr on file
1826 * tests/getopt.test: Fix erroneous multiple redirection,
1827 uncovered by above change.
1829 2008-10-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1831 Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
1832 Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported
1833 through thread creation. This patch fixes that by recreating
1834 the hashes upon thread creation with a CLONE special subroutine,
1835 which is automatically invoked by new enough Perl versions.
1836 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (CLONE): New special
1837 subroutine to fix self hashes upon thread creation.
1838 * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: New, sister test to
1839 Condition.pl, but spawns a new threads after each creation of a
1840 new condition; skip test if perl is too old or ithreads are not

1859 Nicer 'make dist' output.

1878 Require texi2dvi in tests, makeinfo may not be enough.
1879 * tests/txinfo16.test: RHEL 5.2 has makeinfo and texi2dvi in
1880 separate packages, so also list the latter as required, as the
1881 test generates DVI and/or PDF output (through distcheck).

1970 Install nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES before bin_PROGRAMS.
1971 * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
1972 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
1973 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.
1974 * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.
1976 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
1977 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
1978 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
1979 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
1980 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
1981 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
1982 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
1983 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
1984 passed to libtool in one invocation.
1985 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not
1986 reorder libraries upon installation. Remove spurious empty

1993 track the dirname of nobase ltlibraries, and tack it onto the
1994 end of the -rpath argument. Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
1995 installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.

2022 2008-09-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2024 Fast install and uninstall for SCRIPTS.

2035 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Allow to install
2036 several programs with one install invocation, when not using
2037 libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
2038 create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a
2039 constant number of times in the fast path; uses awk and sed also
2040 in the default path.
2041 (%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
2044 Enhance cleaning of programs in libtool mode.
2045 * lib/am/progs.am (clean-%DIR%PROGRAMS) [?LIBTOOL?]: Fork less

2115 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2117 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
2118 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
2119 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
2120 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
2121 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
2122 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
2123 lower the limit to 40, too.
2124 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
2125 (am__base_list): New macro.
2126 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
2127 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
2128 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Likewise.
2130 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2132 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
2133 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
2134 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
2135 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
2136 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
2137 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
2138 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
2139 * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function. Use it throughout,
2140 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.
2141 * tests/aclibobj.test, tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca11.test,
2142 tests/acloca12.test, tests/acloca13.test, tests/acloca14.test,

2353 Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
2354 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
2355 from output for comparison.
2357 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
2358 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
2359 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
2360 relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted

2375 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
2376 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
2377 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
2378 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.

2406 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
2407 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.

2453 conditional config.status rule.
2454 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
2456 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
2457 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
2458 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
2459 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.

2556 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
2557 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.

2565 notrans_ prefix for MANS primary and rework dependencies for
2566 install-man%SECTION%; use only vars defined in Makefile.am.

2568 Document notrans_ prefix.
2570 * tests/notrans.test: New test.

2575 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2577 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
2578 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
2579 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
2580 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
2581 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
2582 a problem, it should be revisited.
2584 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
2585 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
2586 files keyed by their target directory.
2587 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
2588 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
2589 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
2590 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
2591 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
2592 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
2593 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
2594 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
2596 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
2597 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
2598 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.

2600 a list for byte compilation after installation.
2601 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
2602 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
2603 to install multiple files at once.

2613 failure early and provide a sensible error message.

2637 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
2639 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2641 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
2642 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
2643 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
2644 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
2645 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
2646 setting MAKE to test gmake.

2664 2008-02-05 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
2666 * doc/automake.texi (CVS): configure.ac will appear newer, not

2737 Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.
2738 * tests/obsolete.test: Check for presence of autoupdate. Apparently,
2739 FreeBSD may install the other Autoconf programs without a version
2740 suffix but not autoupdate.
2742 Fix Heisenbug trying to unset a sometimes-not-set variable.

2757 texinfo.tex is searched in the same directory as the Makefile.am
2758 that needs it. Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
2759 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and

2835 lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
2837 Fix the distdir target to cope with spaces in absolute file names.
2838 * lib/am/distdir.am: Quote all instances of $(distdir) and

3517 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination

3519 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
3520 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth

3739 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
3740 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
3742 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
3743 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
3744 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
3745 Report from Bas Wijnen.
3746 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
3747 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3749 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
3750 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
3751 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
3752 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
3753 if we cannot create this file.
3754 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
3755 (unlink_tmp): New function.

3758 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3760 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
3761 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
3762 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
3763 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct

3766 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and

3770 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3772 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
3773 can install only one file at a time.
3774 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
3775 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
3776 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
3777 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
3778 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
3779 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
3780 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
3781 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
3782 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
3783 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
3784 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
3785 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
3786 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
3787 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
3788 intermediate directories; this is safer.
3789 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
3790 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
3791 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
3792 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
3793 traditional implementations.

3799 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3801 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,

3808 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
3809 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
3810 computed by config.status.
3811 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
3812 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.

3831 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

3835 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
3836 Fix some comment typos.
3838 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3840 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
3841 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
3842 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
3844 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
3847 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
3848 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
3849 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
3850 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
3851 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all

3860 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
3861 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
3862 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
3865 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
3867 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.

3871 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
3872 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
3873 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
3875 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3877 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use

3907 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3909 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
3910 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
3911 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
3912 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
3913 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
3914 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
3915 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
3917 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3919 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
3921 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
3922 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.

3925 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
3927 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
3928 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
3929 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
3930 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
3931 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
3933 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
3935 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
3937 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
3938 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
3939 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
3942 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
3943 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
3946 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...

3958 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
3959 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
3962 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
3963 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
3964 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
3966 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
3967 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
3968 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
3969 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
3971 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
3972 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
3973 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
3975 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
3976 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
3977 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
3980 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
3981 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
3982 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
3985 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
3986 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
3987 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
3990 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
3991 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
3992 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
3993 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
3995 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
3996 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
3997 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
3998 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
3999 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
4000 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.

4015 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
4016 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
4018 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4020 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
4021 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
4022 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
4023 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
4024 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
4025 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
4026 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
4027 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

4330 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
4331 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.

4357 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
4358 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
4359 Report from Stepan Kasal.
4361 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
4362 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
4364 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4366 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
4367 the $(infodir) exists.
4369 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4371 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
4373 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4375 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
4376 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
4378 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
4379 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
4380 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
4381 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
4382 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
4383 for missing files that can be installed.
4384 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
4386 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4388 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
4389 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
4391 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
4392 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
4393 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
4395 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4397 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
4398 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
4399 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
4400 if the usual candidates show up.
4402 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4404 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
4406 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4408 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream
4411 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4413 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
4414 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
4416 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4418 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
4419 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
4421 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
4423 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
4424 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
4427 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4429 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
4430 fix an underful hbox.
4431 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
4432 New upstream versions.
4434 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4436 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
4438 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4440 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
4441 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
4442 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
4443 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
4444 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
4446 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
4448 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
4449 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
4450 Report from Harald Dunkel.
4452 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
4454 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
4455 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
4456 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
4457 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
4459 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4461 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
4462 `mkdir -p' does not work.
4463 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
4464 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
4465 Report from Noah Friedman.
4467 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
4468 Report from Karl Berry.
4470 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
4471 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4473 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
4474 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
4475 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
4477 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4479 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
4480 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
4481 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
4482 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
4483 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
4484 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
4485 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
4486 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
4487 Report from Ed Hartnett.
4489 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4491 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
4493 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
4494 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
4495 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
4496 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
4497 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
4499 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4501 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4502 Fix redirections in previous patch.
4504 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4506 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
4507 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
4508 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
4509 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
4510 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
4511 Report from Bob Proulx.
4513 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
4515 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
4517 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
4519 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4521 Fix PR automake/461:
4522 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
4523 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
4524 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
4525 Report from Tom Tromey.
