5 DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
6 When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
7 (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
8 thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
9 distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
10 need to be made writable recursively. Since file modes should
11 not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'.
12 * lib/am/distdir.am: Handle this situation.
13 * tests/distdir.test: Extend test to those cases.
15 Report by Peter Breitenlohner.
17 2009-03-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
19 Fix a documentation typo.
20 * doc/automake.texi (Headers): Clarify the note telling when it's

25 Define AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS, for gnulib's GNUmakefile.
26 This new macro lists all public targets which invoke `make'
27 recursively, or depend on targets which do so. It allows to
28 prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
29 passed on the `make' command line.
30 * lib/am/distdir.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): New
32 * lib/am/subdirs.am (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Likewise.
33 * lib/am/tags.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS):

42 Ignore warnings from autom4te about Libtool macros.
43 * tests/ltinstloc.test: When testing for presence of warnings,
44 filter out any that are not interesting for this test, e.g.,
45 warnings about installed files or about bogusly named cache
46 variables in libtool.m4, emitted by recent Autoconf when older

51 Relax depcomp test for MSVC to not require minuso.
52 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): When checking the msvisualcpp
53 and msvcmsys depmodes, do not require `-c -o' to work just yet.
54 It is not needed by the depcomp script for these depmodes, and
55 works around the ordering issue between the tests.
56 Report by Peter Rosin.

75 Improve `make -n dist' and `make -n distcheck' for GNU make.
76 Ensure that `make -n dist' and `make -n distcheck' do not change
77 files, due to GNU make executing rules containing `$(MAKE)'.
78 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Separate the creation of
79 `$(distdir)/$$subdir' for `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' and the recursion
80 into the `$(DIST_SUBDIRS)' in two separate rule commands.
81 (distcheck): Exit recursive rule early when run with `make -n',
82 as detected by a witness file.
83 * tests/maken.test, tests/maken2.test: New tests.
84 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
87 2009-03-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
89 Solaris make testsuite fixes.
90 * tests/check10.test: When a rule fails, Solaris make will
91 output the complete command that failed; in this case the test
92 suite driver. Adjust the test to not bogusly match lines from
93 the driver, rather than its output.
94 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Avoid triggering VPATH rewriting,
95 not desirable in this test.
96 * tests/specflg10.test: Use BUILT_SOURCES to specify an
97 intermediate target, so Solaris make knows what to do.
99 testsuite: SKIP compile tests if configure found no compiler.
100 * tests/depend6.test: configure will exit 77 if AC_PROG_CC found
101 no working compiler. Allow the test to be SKIPped in that case.

174 libtool in the preprocessor invocation (as is done in
175 depmode=cpp). Silence compiler stderr.
176 [msvcmsys]: New depmode as a derivative of depmode=msvisualcpp.
177 msvcmsys transforms any backslashes into forward slashes to
178 make the grep in depend.m4 match, instead of the "cygpath -u"
179 that is used in msvisualcpp.

252 2008-12-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
254 Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
255 Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
256 containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play
257 well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
258 as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
259 generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
260 This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
261 but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
262 * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
263 page due to missing help2man.
264 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true
265 if this makefile deals with man pages.

267 check that no man page in $(MANS) contains the replacement text
269 * tests/man4.test: New test.

561 * tests/parallel-am2.test: Also cope with --add-missing.
562 * tests/parallel-am3.test: New test, test absence of races with
563 concurrent same-file installs stemming from --add-missing.
564 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
566 Implement serialization for Locations.
567 * lib/Automake/Location.pm (serialize, deserialize): New
568 functions. They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and
569 to restore a Location from a thread queue. The API is
570 unsymmetric (array vs. queue) because enqueuing data needs to
573 Parallel automake: ordered output messages.
574 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (%_default_options): New options
575 `ordered' default enabled, `queue', default zero (no queue),
576 `queue_key' default undefined.
577 (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
578 messages or backtrace output.
579 (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
580 Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
581 weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
582 (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
583 associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
585 (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
586 to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.
587 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Unset channel option `ordered'
588 for fatal, automake, and verb channels.
589 * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as
591 (handle_makefiles_threaded): Create message queues for each
592 input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
593 ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.
594 * tests/parallel-am.test: Also check for ordered output (in the
595 absence of --add-missing races).
596 * tests/parallel-am2.test: New test; check for ordered output of
597 warning and (regular) error messages.
598 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
600 Parallel automake execution: AUTOMAKE_JOBS.
601 * lib/Automake/Config.in (perl_threads): New global.
602 * automake.in: Use it. If the perl supports interpreter-based
603 threading, then use `threads' and `Thread::Queue'.
604 (handle_makefile, handle_makefiles_serial): New functions,
605 factored out from main.
606 (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
607 to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
608 of independent makefiles.
609 (handle_makefiles_threaded): New function. Spawn threads, use
610 thread queue to distribute handling the different makefiles.
611 Collect $exit_code values from threads.
612 (main): Use new functions.
613 * aclocal.in: No threads here.
614 * configure.ac: Substitute PERL_THREADS; enabled with perl >=
615 5.7.2 and when ithreads are available.
616 * bootstrap (dosubst): Likewise.
617 * Makefile.am (do_subst): Likewise.
618 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Likewise.
619 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use `Automake::Config' and
621 (verb): Prepend thread ID (tid) to verbose messages.
622 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (msg): Before exiting, flush stderr,
623 needed for worker threads.
624 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Also
625 include the build tree path, so Config.pm is found.
626 * tests/parallel-am.test: New test.
627 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
628 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake): Document AUTOMAKE_JOBS.

634 Minor file checking optimization: set_dir_cache_file.
635 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (set_dir_cache_file): New function.
636 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Instead of resetting the
637 cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
638 using set_dir_cache_file.
640 No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
641 There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
642 are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
643 as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
644 enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.
645 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (fatal, automake, verb): Set
646 `uniq_part' to `UP_NONE' when registering these channels.
648 Fix 'config.status --file=... depfiles' with new Autoconf.
649 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Eval
650 $CONFIG_STATUS contents if we detect the quoting used by
651 Autoconf 2.62 and newer for --file=.
652 * tests/depend5.test: New test.

659 Support for Python 3.0, drop support for pre-2.0.
660 * lib/py-compile: Do not import string; use sys.stdout.write
661 instead of print, files.split instead of string.split.
662 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Also look for python3 and
663 phython3.0; do not look for python1.5. Use sys.stdout.write.
664 (AM_PYTHON_CHECK_VERSION): Do not use string; adjust to xrange
665 removal in Python 3.0, and changed semantics of map.

667 Python versions mentioned in the manual, using 2.5 everywhere.

674 Cleanup of per-input global variables in automake.in.
675 * automake.in ($output_vars, $output_all, $output_header)
676 ($output_rules, $output_trailer): Fix comment, and sort
677 declarations in the order they will appear in the output.
678 ($all_target): Unused variable, remove.
679 (Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,
680 clarify that %am_file_cache is not reset.
681 (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
682 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
683 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort
684 remaining variables in the same order as in the section
685 `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.
687 Let stderr output end up on fd 2 in testsuite.
688 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Output recorded stderr on file
690 * tests/getopt.test: Fix erroneous multiple redirection,
691 uncovered by above change.

695 Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
696 Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported
697 through thread creation. This patch fixes that by recreating
698 the hashes upon thread creation with a CLONE special subroutine,
699 which is automatically invoked by new enough Perl versions.
700 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (CLONE): New special
701 subroutine to fix self hashes upon thread creation.
702 * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: New, sister test to
703 Condition.pl, but spawns a new threads after each creation of a
704 new condition; skip test if perl is too old or ithreads are not

745 test generates DVI and/or PDF output (through distcheck).

831 * NEWS: Expand on the issue, list some more user-visible
834 Install nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES before bin_PROGRAMS.
835 * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
836 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
837 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.

840 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
841 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
842 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
843 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
844 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
845 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
846 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
847 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
848 passed to libtool in one invocation.
849 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not

859 installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.

900 several programs with one install invocation, when not using
901 libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
902 create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a

981 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
982 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
983 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
984 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
985 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
986 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,

1215 2008-09-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1217 Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
1218 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
1219 from output for comparison.
1221 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
1222 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
1223 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
1224 relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted
1226 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fix current check for
1227 $(am__cd) within backquotes a bit. Add new check for `cd' to a
1229 * automake.in (handle_tags, handle_configure): Adjust rules.

1239 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
1240 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
1241 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
1242 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.
1244 2008-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1246 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).

1266 2008-08-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1268 Fix rebuilding of removed subdir/Makefile.in files.
1269 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%) [?!TOPDIR_P?]: If
1270 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
1271 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.
1272 * tests/remake6.test, tests/remake7.test: New tests.
1273 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1274 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1275 Report and initial patch by Ilya N. Golubev.
1277 2008-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1279 * tests/notrans.test: Use multiple man files of each type.
1281 Fix maintainer-check failures.
1282 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Drop TAB.
1283 * tests/missing6.test: Use 'rm -f'.

1299 2008-06-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1301 Introduce macro $(am__mv) to facilitate 'libtool --dry-run'.
1302 * lib/am/depend.am (am__mv): New macro, set to 'mv -f'.
1303 * lib/am/depend2.am: Use throughout to move the temporary
1304 depfile *.Tpo to its final destination *.Po.
1306 2008-06-18 Rafael Espindola <espindola@google.com>

1316 * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the
1317 conditional config.status rule.

1320 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
1321 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
1322 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
1323 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
1324 (handle_configure) <CONFIG_CLEAN_VPATH_FILES>: New variable, for
1325 links where source and dest are equal.
1326 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Remove, if build tree not
1328 * tests/conflnk4.test: New test.
1329 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1332 2008-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1353 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am: A few typos in comments.
1355 2008-04-10 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1357 Prefer a released version of autoconf.
1358 * NEWS: Bump requirement to autoconf 2.62.

1380 (scan_autoconf_config_files): Record condition if any.
1381 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace _AM_COND_IF, _AM_COND_ELSE,
1382 _AM_COND_ENDIF, updating @cond_stack as appropriate.
1383 (handle_configure): Prefix config.status rule with condition.
1384 Check that m4 quotation is done consistently.
1385 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITION): Define `_AM_COND_VALUE_name'

1393 Document AM_COND_IF.
1395 * tests/cond39.test, tests/cond40.test, tests/cond41.test,
1396 tests/cond42.test, tests/cond43.test: New tests.

1399 2008-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1401 * doc/automake.texi (@ovar): New macro, from autoconf.texi.
1403 Suggestion by Eric Blake.
1405 2008-03-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1407 * lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
1409 2008-03-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1411 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Linking, Extending):
1412 Fix underfull and overfull lines, fix wording a bit.
1414 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from
1417 * Makefile.am (WGET_SV_GIT_CF): New.
1418 (fetch): Pull config.guess and config.sub from git repo now.
1420 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
1421 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.
1422 (xsystem_hint): New function, like xsystem but allows to pass
1425 2008-03-11 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>

1429 notrans_ prefix for MANS primary and rework dependencies for
1430 install-man%SECTION%; use only vars defined in Makefile.am.

1432 Document notrans_ prefix.
1434 * tests/notrans.test: New test.

1437 * automake.in (handle_man_pages): Reindent, for next patch.
1439 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1441 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
1442 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
1443 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
1444 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
1445 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
1446 a problem, it should be revisited.
1448 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
1449 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
1450 files keyed by their target directory.
1451 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
1452 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
1453 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
1454 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
1455 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
1456 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
1457 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
1458 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
1460 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
1461 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
1462 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
1463 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
1464 a list for byte compilation after installation.
1465 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
1466 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
1467 to install multiple files at once.
1469 Suggested by Akim Demaille.

1474 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump AC_PREREQ to 2.61-341,
1476 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
1477 failure early and provide a sensible error message.

1501 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
1503 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1505 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
1506 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
1507 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
1508 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
1509 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
1510 setting MAKE to test gmake.

1601 Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.
1602 * tests/obsolete.test: Check for presence of autoupdate. Apparently,
1603 FreeBSD may install the other Autoconf programs without a version
1604 suffix but not autoupdate.
1606 Fix Heisenbug trying to unset a sometimes-not-set variable.
1607 * tests/check5.test: Do not error out upon `unset TESTS' due to

1617 resistant to different quoting styles of $1.
1619 Clarify texinfo.tex and TEXINFO_TEX semantics.
1620 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Clarify that by default,
1621 texinfo.tex is searched in the same directory as the Makefile.am
1622 that needs it. Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
1623 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and
1625 * tests/txinfo22.test: Ensure TEXINFO_TEX is not distributed.

1699 lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
1701 Fix the distdir target to cope with spaces in absolute file names.
1702 * lib/am/distdir.am: Quote all instances of $(distdir) and

1841 Run each test in a process-private subdirectory.

1844 because we would like to keep the output of XPASSing tests.
1845 Also, note when we were interrupted by a signal. Code taken
1846 from Autoconf's _AC_INIT_PREPARE.
1847 If $keep_testdirs is set, keep them even for successful tests.
1848 * tests/Makefile.am (check-clean-local): New target. Remove all
1849 tests subdirs, but also make them writable first. The latter

2426 * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%):
2427 Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
2428 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
2429 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
2430 This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.
2432 2006-08-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2434 * automake.in: Fortran 77 and Fortran should require variables
2435 F77 resp. FC to be defined, and suggest the respective Autoconf
2437 * tests/fort1.test: New test.
2438 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2440 * tests/ext.test: Add extensions f95, F90, F95.
2442 2006-08-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2444 For PR automake/500:
2445 * automake.in (handle_compile) <$default_includes>: Do not output
2446 the same -I twice. Use @am__isrc@ instead of ` -I$(srcdir)'.
2447 * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
2448 non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
2449 * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
2450 and non-VPATH builds.
2452 2006-08-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2454 * doc/automake.texi, lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix some typos.
2455 * NEWS: Likewise. Clarify that only one LIBOBJDIR is supported.
2457 2006-08-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2459 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (usage): Mention that -Wportability
2460 is enabled by default with gnu and gnits strictness.
2461 Report from Bruno Haible.
2463 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2465 * NEWS: Mark de-ANSI-fication as being obsolete.

2468 2006-08-21 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2470 * Makefile.am, THANKS: Fix typos.

2482 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Typo in previous patch.
2484 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fine-tune the "Unescaped @"
2485 check so it doesn't complain about the '@ 's in node "Standard
2486 Directory Variables".
2488 * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/texinfo.tex, lib/config.sub: New
2491 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Prefix mkdir_p with
2492 $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.
2494 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2496 * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
2497 ylwrap. Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
2498 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
2499 (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always
2501 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs, Yacc and Lex): Update the
2502 documentation of ylwrap.
2503 * tests/lex.test, tests/lex4.test, tests/mmodely.test,
2504 tests/yacc.test, tests/yacc2.test, tests/yacc3.test,
2505 tests/yaccpp.test: Adjust.
2507 * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Update statistics until 1.9.6.

2513 lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
2514 lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
2515 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
2516 as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
2517 mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
2518 * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
2521 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
2522 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to
2523 -I m4. Running aclocal during the rebuild rules will fail
2524 if the default acdir does not exist.
2526 * NEWS, configure.ac, m4/init.m4, m4/lispdir.m4, m4/mkdirp.m4:
2527 Require Autoconf 2.60 instead of some intermediate development
2530 * doc/automake.texi (Standard Directory Variables): Fix multitable
2532 (Autotools Introduction): Fix @uref usage.
2534 2006-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2536 * doc/automake.texi: Fix some typos in the introduction,
2537 adjust some spacing; spell `GNU Build System' consistently.
2538 (menu): Unify node naming.
2539 (Standard Directory Variables): Clarify that this list is not
2541 (DESTDIR): Fix example.
2543 2006-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2545 * doc/automake.texi (Autotools Introduction) New chapter.
2546 Thanks to Ben Pfaff and Ralf Wildenhues for comments.
2547 (Auxiliary Programs, Install, Dist, Third-Party Makefiles)
2548 (distcleancheck): More cross references.

2561 2006-08-14 Jonathan Higa <jthiga@gmail.com>
2563 * automake.in: Register "Unified Parallel C" as language.
2564 (lang_upc_rewrite): New function.
2565 (resolve_linker): Consider UPCLINK.
2566 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest
2567 AM_PROG_UPC for UPC and UPCFLAGS.
2568 * m4/upc.m4: New file.
2569 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Add UPC case.
2570 * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add upc.m4.
2571 * doc/automake.texi (Unified Parallel C Support): New node.
2572 (Public macros): Mention AM_PROG_UPC.
2573 (Program and Library Variables, Flag Variables Ordering):
2575 * tests/upc.test, tests/upc2.test, tests/upc3.test: New file.
2576 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
2577 * tests/ext.test: Also test upc files.
2579 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2581 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
2583 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
2584 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
2585 other built scripts.
2587 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
2588 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
2589 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
2590 * tests/init.test: New file.
2591 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2593 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2595 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
2596 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
2597 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
2598 `make distdir' instead.
2600 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2602 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
2603 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
2604 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
2606 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
2607 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
2608 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
2609 Report from Bas Wijnen.
2610 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
2611 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2613 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
2614 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
2615 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
2616 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
2617 if we cannot create this file.
2618 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
2619 (unlink_tmp): New function.
2620 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
2622 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2624 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
2625 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
2626 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
2627 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
2629 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
2630 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
2632 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
2634 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2636 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
2637 can install only one file at a time.
2638 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
2639 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
2640 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
2641 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
2642 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
2643 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
2644 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
2645 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
2646 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
2647 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
2648 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
2649 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
2650 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
2651 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
2652 intermediate directories; this is safer.
2653 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
2654 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
2655 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
2656 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
2657 traditional implementations.
2659 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2661 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
2663 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2665 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
2666 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
2667 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
2669 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2670 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2672 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
2673 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
2674 computed by config.status.
2675 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
2676 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
2679 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
2680 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2682 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
2683 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
2684 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2686 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2688 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
2690 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2692 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
2694 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2695 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2697 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
2698 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
2699 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
2700 Fix some comment typos.
2702 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2704 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
2705 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
2706 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
2708 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
2711 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
2712 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
2713 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
2714 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
2715 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
2717 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
2719 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
2721 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
2722 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
2724 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
2725 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
2726 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
2729 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
2731 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
2733 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
2735 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
2736 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
2737 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
2739 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2741 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
2742 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
2743 directory component.
2744 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
2746 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
2747 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
2748 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
2750 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2752 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
2753 New upstream versions.
2755 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2757 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
2758 repository, they use SVN now.
2760 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
2762 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
2763 savannah.nongnu.org.
2765 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2767 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
2768 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2769 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
2771 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2773 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
2774 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
2775 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
2776 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
2777 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
2778 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
2779 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
2781 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2783 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
2785 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
2786 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
2788 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
2789 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
2791 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
2792 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
2793 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
2794 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
2795 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
2797 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
2799 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
2801 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
2802 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
2803 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
2806 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
2807 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
2810 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
2811 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
2812 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
2814 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2816 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
2817 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
2819 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
2822 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
2823 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
2826 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
2827 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
2828 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
2830 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
2831 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
2832 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
2833 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
2835 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
2836 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
2837 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
2839 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
2840 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
2841 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
2844 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
2845 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
2846 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
2849 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
2850 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
2851 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
2854 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
2855 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
2856 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
2857 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2859 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
2860 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
2861 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
2862 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
2863 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
2864 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
2867 2006-04-26 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org> (tiny change)
2869 * doc/automake.texi (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Fix typo.
2871 2006-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2873 * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname.
2875 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2877 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
2878 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
2879 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
2880 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
2882 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2884 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
2885 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
2886 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
2887 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
2888 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
2889 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
2890 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
2891 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2893 2006-04-20 Paul Lunau <temp@lunau.me.uk> (tiny change)
2894 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2896 * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
2897 failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
2898 Report from Paul Lunau.
2899 * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.
2902 2006-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2904 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Match XFAIL_TESTS delimited by
2905 TABs as well as spaces. Fixes PR automake/490.

3161 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3163 * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that

3166 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3168 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',

3194 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
3195 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
3196 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
3197 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
3199 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
3201 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>

3242 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's

3247 for missing files that can be installed.

3261 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
3262 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
3263 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
3264 if the usual candidates show up.
3266 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3268 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.

3280 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3282 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
3283 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.

3320 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
3321 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.

3341 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3343 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
3344 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
3345 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
3346 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
3347 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
3348 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
3349 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
3350 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
3351 Report from Ed Hartnett.

3355 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
3357 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
3358 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
3359 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
3360 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
3361 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.

3383 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
