        * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.

        * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
        definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
        generate_makefile.  This superfluous definition introduced long
        lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
        line length.  Report from Mathias Froehlich.

2005-06-11  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
        Fix redirections in previous patch.

2005-06-08  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
        Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
        * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
        * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
        Report from Bob Proulx.

        * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.

2005-05-24  Brian Gough  <bjg@network-theory.co.uk>  (tiny change)

        * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.

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

        Fix PR automake/461:
        * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
        with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
        * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
        Report from Tom Tromey.

        what we distribute.

        * doc/automake.texi: Fix more misuses of @ref, @xref and @pxref,
        including some of the "corrections" below.  Thanks to Karl Berry.

2004-12-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * install-sh: Use `(exit N); exit N', not `(exit N); exit'.
        Otherwise, install-sh could exit with improper exit status when
        exiting via a trapped interrupt.  Thanks to a report from Bob Proulx.

2004-12-14  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

        * doc/automake.texi (Options): Englishoes.

            Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (dir_has_case_matching_file,
        reset_dir_cache): New functions.
        * automake.in (handle_dist, require_file_internal): Use them, so
        that CHANGELOG is not confused with ChangeLog on case-insensitive
        case-preserving file systems.
        * tests/hfs.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hfs.test.

2004-12-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * lib/mdate-sh: Don't use "set - x`$ls_command /`", as zsh mishandles
        the spaces inside $ls_command.  Problem reported by Loulou Pouchet in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-12/msg00074.html>.
        Don't use "set - x"; plain "set x" is enough, and simplifies debugging.

2004-12-05  Toshio Kuratomi  <toshio@tiki-lounge.com>

        * lib/py-compile: Add --destdir switch to py-compile that takes a
        path argument that is not compiled into the file when byte compiling.
        * lib/am/python.am: Use the new py-compile arguments to not include
        DESTDIR in the byte compiled files.
        * tests/python12.test: Test that DESTDIR won't be byte compiled into
        python files.

2004-12-05  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Typo.

        * doc/automake.texi: Use @acindex for Autoconf macros, and @vindex
        for variables (@cvindex was previously used for both).  Separate
        these two indices in the output.  Use @code, @file, and @command
        in @cindex lines wherever appropriate so they render nicely.

2004-12-05  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * doc/automake.texi (renamed objects, CVS): Typos.

2004-12-05  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        --help or --version.
        * automake.in (parse_arguments): Likewise.
        * tests/aclocal.test, tests/automake.test: Check this.
        Report from Eric Blake.

2004-11-21  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (parse_arguments): Diagnose empty arguments, options

        Report from Eric Blake.

        * lib/am/progs.am (installcheck-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Run programs with
        /dev/null as input, so we do not hang on programs that read their
        input without supporting --help and --version.
        * lib/am/scripts.am (installcheck-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Likewise for scripts.
        * tests/gnits2.test: Change scriptnok.sh to cat its input.

        * aclocal.in (%file_seen): Rename as ...
        (%file_added): ... this, and move it close to add_file(), the only
        function that uses it.

        * aclocal.in (version): Remove initial blank line and reproduce
        the layout of automake --version.  From Art Haas.

        * aclocal.in (%file_type, FT_USER, FT_AUTOMAKE_SYSTEM): New variables.
        (scan_m4_dirs): New function, extracted from ...
        (scan_m4_files): ... here.  Call scan_m4_files three times, for each
        FT_ constant.
        (scan_file): Take a file type argument to update %file_type.
        (write_aclocal): Do not m4_include files that are not of type FT_USER.
        * tests/dirlist.test: Make sure m4_include is not used for --acdir
        files.

        * tests/defs.in (testaclocaldir): New variable.
        * tests/aclocal.test: Use it to fix the test.  Report from
        Patrick Welche.

2004-11-10  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Fix the invocation of
        AC_PATH_PROGS to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no interpreter
        is found (this worked correctly only when a minimal version was
        passed to AM_PATH_PYTHON).  Report from Stepan Kasal.
        (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Define using m4_define_default,
        so we can easily override the list from the test suite.
        * tests/python11.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add python11.test.

        * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Make clearer that -module
        should appear explicitly in _LDFLAGS.

2004-11-09  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correctly recognize --print-ac-dir.

        (@system_includes): ... this.
        (@user_includes, @automake_includes): New variables.
        ($default_acdir, $default_dirlist): Remove.
        (parse_arguments): Populate @user_includes, @automake_includes, and
        @system_includes instead of filling a unique @dirlist array.
        ("MAIN"): Adjust to scan m4 files in @user_includes,
        @automake_includes, and @system_includes.

2004-11-06  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        (version): New function.
        (parse_arguments): Rewrite using Getopt::Long, call &version, and
        honor -W and --warning.
        ($verbose): Remove.
        (trace_used_macros): Do not trace the first arguments of macros
        for which we do not need it.  This caused failures because of
        unexpected newlines in the output.
        * doc/automake.texi (aclocal options): Document -W and --warning.
        * tests/defs.in (ACLOCAL): Always use -Werror, to catch Perl
        warnings about uninitialized variables.

2004-11-03  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * tests/defs.in: Do not distinguish VERBOSE=x from
        VERBOSE=anything_but_x, always turn on shell traces.

        * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Make sure $map_traced_defs{$m} exists
        before using it.  Suppress a warning observable in test/acloca16.test.
        Report from Ralf Wildenhues.

2004-11-01  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Make sure $ENV{'MAKEFLAGS'} exists
        before inspecting it; this fixes "uninitialized value in
        concatenation" diagnostics when flock fails.
        Report from Gary V. Vaughan.

        * aclocal.in: Use strict and -w.  Declare local variables with `my',
        and get rid of `local'.
        (scan_m4_files, add_macro): Reindent these functions while we are
        at it.

        * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.

        * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Spelling and grammar corrections
        from Ralf Wildenhues.

2004-10-31  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Augment with an example setup.
        (LTLIBOBJ): Rename as ...

        * doc/automake.texi: Untabify, tabs in the examples are poorly
        rendered.
        * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Grep tabs in the manual.

        * tests/comment8.test: Use $MAKE, not make.

2004-10-24  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * tests/distcom3.test: Typo.

2004-10-22  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Convenience Libraries): Explain how
        to force the linker selection.

        * lib/install-sh: Fix the dirname emulation to ignore trailing
        slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'.  This
        caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
        * tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
        Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.

2004-10-21  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
        by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
        target name.  Simplify this function to simply conditionally
        prepend $U to the given extension.
        (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Hard-code
        the extension to use.  This way Automake won't mistake a program
        named `foo.la' as a libtool library.
        * tests/primary3.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add primary3.test.

2004-10-12  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Install): Link to node Extending for examples.
        (Extending): More comments about install-data-hook vs
        install-exec-hook, and link to Install.

        * configure.ac: Export @am_AUTOCONF@.
        * tests/defs.in (AUTOCONF): Define as @am_AUTOCONF@, not @AUTOCONF@,
        so the test suite runs `autoconf' and not `missing --run autoconf'.
        * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing
        to be used in front of autoconf even if the user has exported
        AUTOCONF.  This fixes two spurious failures reported by
        Mark D. Baushke.

        * lib/compile: Handle output.obj in addition to output.o.
        * tests/compile.test: Check for this.

2004-10-11  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Sources): Typo, reported by Karl Berry.

2004-10-10  Kelley Cook  <kcook@gcc.gnu.org>  (tiny change)

        * doc/automake.texi (Extending): Typo.

2004-10-10  Martin Waitz  <tali@admingilde.org>  (tiny change)

        * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): Check dependency tracking mode for CCAS.
        * automake.in (cppasm): Use the dependency tracking more for CCAS.
        * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Note that *.S are
        preprocessed with CPPFLAGS.

2004-10-10  Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>

        * automake.in (Languages): Split .s (asm) and .S (cppasm) into
        separate languages.  Make cppasm (Preprocessed Assembler) aware
        of CPPFLAGS, AM_CPPFLAGS.
        (handle_languages): Fix typo.
        (lang_cppasm_rewrite): New function.

2004-09-29  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * tests/subobj9.test: Adjust regexes after previous patch.

2004-09-28  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable): Output
        Libtool's --tag= option before --mode=compile, because depcomp use
        --mode=compile as end marker for libtool arguments.
        (define_linker_variable): Likewise before --mode=link, for
        uniformity.
        * tests/pr307.test: Make sure dependency files are updated.  That
        was not the case because depcomp thought `--tag=CC' was the
        compiler to get dependencies from.
        Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.

2004-09-26  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * configure.ac: Require Perl 5.6.
        * lib/Automake/Config.in: Require Perl 5.6 (not done in
        lib/Automake/General.pm because it is shared with Autoconf),
        and use `our' instead of `use vars'.
        * aclocal.in (rel2abs): Remove.
        (scan_configure_dep): Use File::Spec->rel2abs instead.

        * tests/compile.test, tests/instsh2.test, tests/instspc.test: Use
        two consecutive spaces in filename instead of one, to catch mistake
        like `echo $val | ...`.
        * tests/README: Suggest this.
        Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.

2004-09-25  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

2004-09-10  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Make sure AC_PROG_CC is never
        called after this macro.
        * tests/distname.test, tests/subdir5.test, tests/subdir8.test,
        tests/subobj.test, tests/subobj4.test, tests/subobj5.test,
        tests/subobj6.test: Adjust.
        Report from Ralf Wildenhues.

        * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (_print_message): Handle uniq_part with
        arbitrary string.
        * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Set uniq_part so that the
        AM_PROG_CC_C_O diagnostic is output only once for subdir objects
        and only once for objects with per-target flags.

        * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Print files and locations
        for AM_PROG_CC_C_O errors.
        (handle_single_transform): Pass $var to &$subr so it can
        print locations.

        * tests/compile.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add compile.test.

2004-09-07  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (handle_clean): Sort rm commands output for
        mostlyclean-generic, clean-generic, distclean-generic, and
        maintainer-clean-generic.
        Report from Bob Friesenhahn.

        * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Do not require AM_PROG_CC_C_O for
        libtool objects.
        (handle_single_transform): Pass nonansi_obj to &$subr so
        lang_c_rewrite can distinguish libtool objects.
        * tests/libtool7.test: Use subdir-objects without using AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
        Report from Gary V. Vaughan and Patrick Welche.

2004-09-07  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        * tests/yacc7.test: Check this.

2004-08-08  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (new): Precompute 'string' and 'conds'
        in place instead of as a side-effect of calling ->string and ->conds.
        This saves method-lookup time, simplify ->string and ->conds, and
        allows to create the object only when necessary.
        (string, conds): Simplify, now that the result is precomputed.

        * automake.in (%am_file_cache): New hash.
        (make_paragraphs): Cache .am files with comments stripped to save
        some useless input and substitutions.

        interested in.

2004-08-06  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/Automake/Item.pm (def): Rewrite more concisely, it's faster
        this way.

2004-08-05  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        Speed up make_paragraphs.
        * automake.in (handle_languages): Always define SUBDIROBJ,
        DERIVED-EXT, and DIST_SOURCE, because the new transform() will
        abort on unknown tokens.
        (transform): Rewrite with different semantics.
        (make_paragraphs): Make a single pass over the paragraph to
        transform all template tokens instead of doing as much passes as
        possible token.

        * automake.in ($libtool_new_api): New variable.
        (handle_libtool): Do not libtool's aux files if $libtool_new_api.
        (scan_autoconf_traces) <LT_SUPPORTED_TAG>: Set $libtool_new_api.
        (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE>: Remember only the
        first location for required files.

        Support AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE, and fix requirement of AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
        * automake.in (%required_aux_file): New hash.
        (handle_single_transform, lang_c_rewrite): Do not explicitly
        require 'compile', this is now an internal detail of
        AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
        (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE and fill
        %required_aux_file.
        (scan_autoconf_files): Require all %required_aux_file instead
        of explicitly requiring install-sh and missing.
        (generate_makefile): Do not require config.sub and config.guess.
        (handle_single_transform): Pass $have_per_exec_flags to
        &lang_c_rewrite.
        * configure.ac, m4/init.m4: Require Autoconf 2.59a.
        * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
        (Program and Library Variables, Options, Public macros):
        AM_PROG_CC_C_O is required when per-target flags or subdir-objects
        are used with C sources.
        * m4/minuso.m4: Require `compile' using AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
        * m4/missing.m4: Require `missing' similarly.

        package.
        * tests/subpkg.test: Augment to check that YLWRAP is installed
        properly.
        * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): ylwrap is not sought is the
        current directory.
        Report from Norman Gray.

        * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Update documentation for
        AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET.

        * automake.in (AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): Replace by ...
        (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): ... these.
        (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan for the latter three macros instead of
        the former two.
        (make_paragraphs): Adjust definitions of %BUILD%, %HOST%, and %TARGET%.
        * tests/hosts.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hosts.test.
        Report and test case from Norman Gray.

2004-08-01  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * aclocal.in (scan_file): Update "#Extending%20aclocal" URL, makeinfo
        4.7 now outputs "#Extending-aclocal".

2004-08-01  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
            Derek R. Price  <derek@ximbiot.com>

        Disable Lex and Yacc rules whenever possible if AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
        is used and maintainer-mode disabled.

        Set it in languages yacc, yaccxx, lex, and lexxx.
        (register_language): Default nodist_specific to 0.
        (handle_single_transform): Honor nodist_specific.
        * lib/am/yacc.am (am__skipyacc): Define this in maintainer mode.
        (%EXT%%DERIVED-EXT%, %OBJ%): Use $(am__skipyacc) to disable these
        rules when needed.
        * lib/am/lex.am (am__skiplex): Define this in maintainer mode.
        (%EXT%%DERIVED-EXT%, %OBJ%): Use $(am__skiplex) to disable these
        rules when needed.
        * tests/mmodely.test: New file.

        * automake.in (generate_makefile): Update misleading comment about
        libtool scripts.

        * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.

2004-07-25  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Remove `.' from the mkdir_p
        definition, it causes `make install' to fails for user with no
        right to write in the source-tree.
        * automake.in (handle_configure): Do not use mkdir_p in the
        definition for $(mkdir_p).
        Report from Harlan Stenn.

        * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Typo in comment.

2004-07-22  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Typo in example.

        * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8d.

        * lib/config-ml.in, lib/config.sub, lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex:
        New upstream versions.

        * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
        ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Use $(X), not ${X}.

        * tests/installdir.test: installdirs-local should appear three times,
        since the change from 2004-07-11 will make it PHONY.

        * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Always use $(DIST_SUBDIRS) now
        that it is always defined.  This is less confusing for users
        reading the generated Makefiles.
        * automake.in (handle_dist): Do not substitute DIST_SUBDIR_NAME.

        * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
        ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Output .htp, and then rename to .html
        on success.  In case the target is a directory, this ensures its
        time stamp is updated and the no files are left over inside.
        * tests/txinfo21.test: Augment to test missing timestamp update
        reported by Akim Demaille.

        * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Rename as ...
        (Directories): ... this, and split into ...
        (Subdirectories, Conditional Subdirectories): ... these.
        (Subdirectories): Illustrate the use of `.'.
        (Conditional Subdirectories): Describe SUBDIRS and DIST_SUBDIRS
        before the example.  Append a discussion about non-configured
        conditional directories.
        (Alternative): Move as a child of Directories.
        (Subpackages): New section.
        (Dist): Adjust links to Subdirectories, a Subpackages.
        (Third-Party Makefiles): Link to Conditional Subdirectories.

        (handle_single_transform): Pass %transform to target_hook.
        (handle_source_transform): Define DIST_SOURCE to tell whether
        a the source of a file is distributed or not.
        (lang_yacc_target_hook): Check DIST_SOURCE, and do not distribute
        the generated header if the .y source is not distributed.
        * tests/pr204.test: Use AM_YFLAGS = -d and make sure generated
        headers are not distributed.

2004-07-12  Simon Josefsson  <jas@extundo.com>  (tiny change)

        * doc/automake.texi (Options): Improve ustar file name length
        discussion.  Reference tar manual.

2004-07-12  Ray Simard  <rhs.techlists@sylvan-glade.com>  (tiny change)

        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Fix precondition check.

2004-07-11  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        For PR automake/428:
        Support for conditionally defined -hook and -local rules.
        * automake.in (user_phony_rule): New function.
        (handle_dist, handle_install, handle_all, do_check_merge_target,
        handle_factored_dependencies): Use user_phony_rule before
        adding a user -hook or -local rule as a dependency to ensure
        it is always defined an phony.
        * tests/cond37.test, tests/condhook.test: New files.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
        Report from Simon Josefsson and Nik A. Melchior.

2004-07-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * doc/automake.texi (Install): Warn that you should create
        /tmp/staging before installing into it, to avoid security problems.
        * lib/install-sh: Remove support for -b= and -t= options; this
        has been moribund for a decade.
        Add support for -t and -T options (new in coreutils install).
        -c option now does nothing (the default is to copy), for
        compatibility with BSD and coreutils 'install'.
        Fix usage message; it referred to nonexistent variables.
        Don't assume 'lasterr' is unset in environment.
        * tests/instsh2.test: Don't assume that install-sh without -c
        moves (it now copies).  Add tests for new -t and -T options.

2004-06-16  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        For Debian Bug#254372:
        * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Rewrite the paragraph
        explaining m4_include is used for relative files.

2004-06-10  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        For Debian Bug #251820:
        * aclocal.in (scan_file): Keep track of the location where each
        file is included, and display it when reporting a missing file.
        Pass this location to scan_file as a second argument.
        (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_file.
        * tests/acloca14.test: Add a test for this diagnostic.

2004-06-07  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Split the definition of $_am_tools
        so it works with Solaris and Tru64 /bin/sh.
        Report from Nicolas Joly.

2004-06-06  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Introduce $_am_tools to work around a
        bug in NetBSD /bin/sh.
        Report from Nicolas Joly.

2004-06-03  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * tests/defs.in (required=icc): Use `-V -help' instead of
        `-V -dryrun'.  icc 8.0 fails on the latter.
        * tests/depcomp5.test: Require depmode=icc for icc 7.x, and
        depmod=gcc otherwise.
        Report from Ralf Wildenhues.

        * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Do no
        `rm -f $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' if `$(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' is empty.
        Report from Nicolas Joly.

2004-05-31  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * NEWS: Make clearer that we do not output partial Makefile.ins on
        error.
        Suggested by Akim Demaille.

        * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Use $dir$base.o.d instead
        of $dir.libs/$base.o.d.  Libtool 1.5 causes both to be output,
        and we will clean the second automatically during distclean.
        Using the latter and leaving the former as we did before cause
        "files left in build directory" failures during distcheck.
        Suggested by Nicolas Joly.

        * doc/automake.texi (Built sources example): Explain what
        nodist_foo_SOURCES is (not) useful to, and use it in all the
        examples.
        (Tags): Mention nodist_noinst_HEADERS and nodist_prog_SOURCES.
        Suggested by Akim Demaille.

2004-05-23  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8c.

        * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8b.

        * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR) <cpio>: Specify -o and -i option first,
        by POSIX; and use option -d in am_untar.

        * tests/defs.in (PATH): Export it.

        * lib/am/multilib.am: Add $(MAKE) comments to multido and
        multiclean lines, to enable parallel make.  Based on a patch
        by Alexandre Oliva applied to newlib on 2003-10-15.

2004-05-22  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for LT_SUPPORTED_TAG
        instead of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, since that how CVS Libtool has been
        changed.
        * tests/libtool3.test: Do not grep for --tag=CC, since CVS
        Libtool (unlike Libtool 1.5) does not has any CC tag.

        * tests/tar2.test: Skip the test if no pax archiver were found.

        * NEWS: Sync with branch-1-8, and reorganize current entry.

        * automake.in (handle_libraries): Make the diagnostic about
        non standard libraries a warning in foreign packages.  This
        is already the case in handle_ltlibraries.
        (handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Suggest a standard
        library name in the diagnostic, to help newcomers.
        * tests/stdlib.test, tests/stdlib2.test: Check for these
        suggestions.

        Check directory names for unportable names.  Shaking the code
        to check this also led to the removal of the no-"/"-in-SUBDIRS
        restriction, and a fix to _do_recursive_traversal.

        * automake.in (check_directory): New function extracted from
        handle_subdirs, and augmented to check for reserved W32/DOS name.
        (check_directories_in_var): New function.
        (handle_subdirs): Call check_directories_in_var.  Doing so also
        suppress the restriction that SUBDIRS should not contain slashes.
        (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR>: Call check_directory
        to ensure the argument exists and is safe.
        * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Do not say that src/subdir
        cannot be put in SUBDIRS.
        (Dist): Mention that distdir and top_distdir can be absolute.
        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_do_recursive_traversal) Support
        undefined $fun_collect, and fix two bugs introduced with
        skip_ac_subst on 2004-03-07.
        * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Use absolute distdir and
        top_distdir when recursing, because we can no longer prepend only
        `..' in case of SUBDIRS with `/'.
        * tests/auxdir4.test, tests/subdir9.test: New files.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add auxdir4.test.
        * tests/cond2.test, tests/subdir7.test: Augment to check location
        in diagnostics.

2004-05-21  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>  (tiny changes)

        * tests/txinfo22.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Use aux1, not aux, for
        cygwin compatibility.
        * tests/yacc6.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Likewise.

        * tests/conflnk3.test: Isolate checking for working `test -e' into
        a subshell, to skip this test on broken /bin/sh of solaris.

2004-05-17  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITIONAL): Double-quote diagnostic.
        * tests/condd.test: Define a macro with the same name as a
        conditional.
        * tests/pr220.test: Modernize, and make sure the diagnostics
        contains the macro name.
        Report from Volker Boerchers.

2004-05-16  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.

2004-05-15  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (handle_dist): Always define DIST_SUBDIRS, even when
        the no-dist or cygnus options are used.
        * tests/clean2.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add clean2.test.
        Report from Daniel Jacobowitz.

        * aclocal.in (add_macro): Do not error out on undefined required
        macros.  We are not sure they are really used, and Autoconf
        already diagnoses them.
        (scan_configure_dep): Diagnose missing AM_ macros as warnings rather
        than errors.
        * tests/aclocal3.test, tests/ammissing.test: Adjust to expect a
        warning instead of an error.
        * tests/aclocal8.test: AC_REQUIRE an undefined macro in an unused
        macro, and ensure aclocal works anyway.
        * tests/acloca17.test: New file.
        * tests/error.test: Delete, superseded by tests/acloca17.test.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca17.test and remove error.test.
        Report from Jim Meyering.

        * lib/am/texibuild.am (?!GENERIC_INFO?%DEST_INFO_PREFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
        Fold a few lines to reduce the output by 5 lines.
        Suggested by Karl Berry.

        * automake.in (parse_arguments, MAIN): Give more precise
        diagnostics when no input file is found.
        * tests/output5.test: Adjust.
        Suggested by Jens Petersen.

2004-05-14  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/am/libs.am (AR, ARFLAGS): Move these definition ...
        * automake.in (handle_libraries): ... here, so that they are
        output even for EXTRA_LIBRARIES.
        * tests/ar2.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
        Report from Kevin Ryde.

2004-05-13  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (generate_makefile): Do not output Makefile.in on
        errors.
        * tests/werror2.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add werror2.test.
        * tests/substtarg.test, tests/cond36.test, tests/backsl4.test:
        Adjust to run automake with -Wno-error when the output is expected
        in spite of the error.
        Report from Harlan Stenn.

        * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Remove
        doubled word in footnote.

        * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Also check for a
        $(srcdir)/old_source rule when computing the default source name.

        Fixing these for BSD Make requires invasive changes (lexers and

        (handle_source_transform): ... extracted from here.
        (am_install_var): Use shadow_unconditionally to define %DISTVAR%.
        * lib/am/data.am, lib/am/java.am, lib/am/lisp.am, lib/am/python.am,
        lib/am/script.am: Add %DISTVAR% to DIST_COMMON.
        * tests/cond33.test: Make sure all conditional files are distributed.
        Report from Ralf Corsepius.

2004-01-08  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Append `.' to $(mkdir_p).
        * lib/install-sh: Accept `install-sh -d' with 0..n arguments,
        as well as `install-sh sources... dest' with multiple sources.
        * tests/cond33.test: New file.
        * tests/instsh2.test: Add more checks for install-sh.
        * tests/transform.test: Test for installdirs.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond33.test
        Report from Ralf Corsepius.

        * automake.in (handle_configure): Skip AC_CONFIG_LINKS items which
        do not look like DEST:SRC.
        * tests/conflnk3.test: Check for AC_CONFIG_LINKS($computed).

        it for the language that have a Libtool tag.
        (%libtool_tags): New variable.
        (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable)
        (define_linker_variable): Pass --tag=XXX to libtool if supported.
        (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan for _LT_AC_TAGCONFIG and AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS.
        * tests/libtool3.test, tests/subobj9.test: Check that --tag=XXX is
        output.

2003-01-07  Eric Sunshine  <sunshine@sunshineco.com>  (tiny change)

        * lib/am/configure.am (am__CONFIG_DISTCLEAN_FILES): Add
        config.status.lineno.

2004-01-07  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>  (tiny change)

        * doc/automake.texi (Rebuilding): Typo.

2004-01-07  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Really add inst-vars.am.

2004-01-06  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * THANKS: Add Bruce Korb.

2004-01-05  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        Mimic Paul Eggert's changes to Autoconf.
        * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Use `chmod a-w', not `chmod -w'.
        * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (Config.pm): Likewise.
        * m4/Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/m4/amversion.m4): Likewise.

        * lib/am/inst-vars.am: New file, define am__vpath_adj_setup,
        am__vpath_adj, and am__strip_dir.
        * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Add inst-vars.am.
        * lib/am/data.am, lib/am/lisp.am, lib/am/python.am,
        lib/am/scripts.am: Include inst-vars.am, and use $(am__vpath_adj),
        $(am__vpath_adj_setup), and $(am__strip_dir) in install and
        uninstall rules.  This fixes installation of nobase_ files in
        VPATH setups with Sun and OSF1/Tru64 Make.
        * lib/am/libs.am, lib/am/ltlib.am: Include inst-vars.am, and use
        $(am__strip_dir) to simplify install and uninstall rules.
        * tests/nobase.test: Augment to check installation from VPATH builds.

        * automake.in (%transformed_files): New variable.
        (initialize_per_input): Reset it.
        (make_paragraphs): Fill %transformed_files, and define %FIRST%
        each time a file is transformed for the first time.
        (handle_configure): Do not define %FIRST_CONFIG_HIN%.
        (am_install_var): Do not define %FIRST%.
        * lib/am/remake-hdr.am: Use %?FIRST% instead of %?FIRST_CONFIG_HIN%.

2004-01-04  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.

        * m4/mkdirp.m4: Do not use `-m 0755'.  This overrides special bits
        and break setups where 775 directories are expected.  Just obey
        umask as we did in the past.
        Report from Harlan Stenn.

2004-01-03  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Do not compare $outfile to ''
        as $outfile might not be defined at all.

        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Rework the way we check
        Automake variable definition.  Ensure consistent :=/+=/=
        definitions only for variables that have been and are defined by
        Automake, and make it an internal error.  Ignore Automake
        attempts to touch a user variable, even with += assignments.
        * tests/txinfo29.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo29.test.
        Reported by Bruce Korb.

2004-01-02  Tom Tromey  <tromey@redhat.com>

        * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Don't generate dist
        variables when no-dist is set.
        (generate_makefile): Likewise.
        * tests/nodist3.test: Ensure that DIST_SOURCES is not created,
        and that dist target does not exist.
        Reported by Tom Fitzsimmons.

2004-01-02  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * tests/libtool5.test, tests/ltcond.test, tests/ltcond2.test,
        * tests/ltconv.test: Run automake with --add-missing, because
        the CVS version of libtoolize no longer install config.sub and
        config.guess by default.

        Fix for PR automake/319:
        * aclocal.in (scan_m4_files): Scan configure.ac.
        (trace_used_macros, write_aclocal): Remove configure.ac from the
        list of files to include.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca15.test.
        * tests/acloca15.test: New file.

        * aclocal.in (%file_includes): New variable.
        (scan_configure_dep): Compile $m4_include_rx and $ac_require_rx once.
        (scan_file): Scan for included files, and process these files
        recursively.  Fill %file_includes and %file_contents.  Return the
        list of included files, not the contents.
        (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_files.
        (strip_redundant_includes): New function.
        (trace_used_macros): Call it.
        (write_aclocal): Likewise.  Also check the mtime of included files.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca14.test.
        * tests/acloca14.test: New file.
        Report from Phil Edwards.

2004-01-01  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define DEP_FILES.
        * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Extract included
        files with $(DEPDIR) in their name instead of DEP_FILES.
        * tests/depend.test, tests/depend4.test, tests/exsource.test:
        Adjust.
        Suggested by Tom Tromey.

        Do not output .lo rules for programs and static libraries objects,
        and do not output .o/.obj rules for libtool libraries.  This is
        about explicit rules only, not inference rules.
        * automake.in (handle_single_transform_list): Rename as ...
        (handle_single_transform): ... this.  Take a single file
        to transform (it was only called this way) and accept a new
        %transform argument.  Fill %lang_specific_files with list
        references instead of strings, and append %transform to each
        of these lists.
        (define_objects_from_sources, handle_source_transform):
        Take a %transform argument, and forward it to &handle_single_transform.
        (handle_languages): Adjust to the new format of
        %lang_specific_files, and honor its %transform part.
        (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Override
        %NONLIBTOOL% and %LIBTOOL% while calling handle_source_transform.
        (make_paragraphs): Define %NONLIBTOOL% by default.  Make sure
        %transform settings override global settings.
        * lib/am/depend2.am (%OBJ%, %OBJOBJ%): Define only if %NONLIBTOOL%.
        * tests/libtool3.test: Augment to check Makefile.ins for unneeded
        rules.
        Suggested by Thomas Fitzsimmons.

        * automake.in, aclocal.in: Bump copyright years.
