24 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
26 * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that
27 the code is portable to both POSIX and pre-POSIX shells.
29 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
31 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',
32 suggested by Eric Blake.
34 2005-10-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
36 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Typo.
37 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (transform_variable_recursively): Typo
40 2005-10-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
42 * ChangeLog.03, automake.in, tests/overrid.test: Typos.
44 2005-10-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
46 * tests/nobase.test: Exercise previous patch.
48 2005-10-03 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com> (tiny change)

54 2005-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
56 * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
57 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
58 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
59 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
61 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
63 * automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.
65 2005-09-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
67 * lib/am/ltlib.am (uninstall-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Do not put
68 shell in verbose mode.
70 2005-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
72 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (variable_value): Do not read the TRUE
73 value of a conditionally defined variable.
74 Report from Juergen Leising.
76 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
78 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
80 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
81 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
82 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
83 Report from Stepan Kasal.
85 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
86 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
88 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
90 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if

93 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
95 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
97 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
99 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
100 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
102 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
103 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
104 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
105 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
106 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
107 for missing files that can be installed.

117 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
119 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
121 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
122 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
123 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
124 if the usual candidates show up.
126 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
128 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
130 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

135 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
137 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
138 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
140 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
142 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
143 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
145 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
147 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
148 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
151 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
153 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
154 fix an underful hbox.
155 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
156 New upstream versions.
158 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
160 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
162 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
164 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
165 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
166 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
167 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
168 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
170 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
172 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
173 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
174 Report from Harald Dunkel.
176 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
178 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
179 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
180 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
181 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
183 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
185 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
186 `mkdir -p' does not work.
187 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
188 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
189 Report from Noah Friedman.
191 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
192 Report from Karl Berry.
194 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
195 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
197 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
198 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
199 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
201 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
203 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
204 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
205 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
206 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
207 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
208 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
209 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
210 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
211 Report from Ed Hartnett.
213 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
215 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
217 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
218 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
219 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
220 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
221 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
223 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
225 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
226 Fix redirections in previous patch.
228 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
230 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
231 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
232 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
233 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
234 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
235 Report from Bob Proulx.
237 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
239 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
241 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
243 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
246 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
247 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
248 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
249 Report from Tom Tromey.

920 directory while uninstalling DJGPP-style info files.
922 2004-12-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
924 Declare recursive install targets as dependencies of `.MAKE', so
925 that `make -n install' works with BSD Make too.
927 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (reset) <%dependencies>: Add `.MAKE'.
928 * automake.in (target_cmp): Move all `.XYZ' target last, not

954 * doc/automake.texi: Correct several misuses of @xref and @pxref.
956 2004-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
958 * install-sh: Use `(exit N); exit N', not `(exit N); exit'.
959 Otherwise, install-sh could exit with improper exit status when
960 exiting via a trapped interrupt. Thanks to a report from Bob Proulx.
962 2004-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
964 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Englishoes.
965 (Options): And another.

1014 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hfs.test.
1016 2004-12-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1018 * lib/mdate-sh: Don't use "set - x`$ls_command /`", as zsh mishandles
1019 the spaces inside $ls_command. Problem reported by Loulou Pouchet in
1020 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-12/msg00074.html>.
1021 Don't use "set - x"; plain "set x" is enough, and simplifies debugging.
1023 2004-12-05 Toshio Kuratomi <toshio@tiki-lounge.com>
1025 * lib/py-compile: Add --destdir switch to py-compile that takes a
1026 path argument that is not compiled into the file when byte compiling.
1027 * lib/am/python.am: Use the new py-compile arguments to not include
1028 DESTDIR in the byte compiled files.
1029 * tests/python12.test: Test that DESTDIR won't be byte compiled into
1032 2004-12-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1034 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Typo.
1036 * doc/automake.texi: Use @acindex for Autoconf macros, and @vindex
1037 for variables (@cvindex was previously used for both). Separate
1038 these two indices in the output. Use @code, @file, and @command
1039 in @cindex lines wherever appropriate so they render nicely.
1041 2004-12-05 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1043 * doc/automake.texi (renamed objects, CVS): Typos.
1045 2004-12-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1047 * doc/automake.texi (Flag Variables Ordering): New section.
1048 (User Variables, Program and Library Variables): @xref it.

1079 Report from Eric Blake.
1081 * lib/am/progs.am (installcheck-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Run programs with
1082 /dev/null as input, so we do not hang on programs that read their
1083 input without supporting --help and --version.
1084 * lib/am/scripts.am (installcheck-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Likewise for scripts.
1085 * tests/gnits2.test: Change scriptnok.sh to cat its input.
1086 Report and fix from James Youngman.
1088 2004-11-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1090 * aclocal.in (%file_seen): Rename as ...
1091 (%file_added): ... this, and move it close to add_file(), the only
1092 function that uses it.
1094 * aclocal.in (version): Remove initial blank line and reproduce
1095 the layout of automake --version. From Art Haas.
1097 * aclocal.in (%file_type, FT_USER, FT_AUTOMAKE_SYSTEM): New variables.
1098 (scan_m4_dirs): New function, extracted from ...
1099 (scan_m4_files): ... here. Call scan_m4_files three times, for each

1106 * tests/defs.in (testaclocaldir): New variable.
1107 * tests/aclocal.test: Use it to fix the test. Report from
1110 2004-11-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1112 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Fix the invocation of
1113 AC_PATH_PROGS to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no interpreter
1114 is found (this worked correctly only when a minimal version was
1115 passed to AM_PATH_PYTHON). Report from Stepan Kasal.
1116 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Define using m4_define_default,
1117 so we can easily override the list from the test suite.
1118 * tests/python11.test: New file.
1119 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add python11.test.
1121 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Make clearer that -module
1122 should appear explicitly in _LDFLAGS.
1124 2004-11-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1126 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correctly recognize --print-ac-dir.
1127 * tests/aclocal.test: Check --print-ac-dir and a unknown option.
1129 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Fix detection of unexisting default
1130 $(datadir)/aclocal. Report from Akim.
1132 2004-11-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1134 * aclocal.in ($acdir): Rename as ...

1137 ($default_acdir, $default_dirlist): Remove.
1138 (parse_arguments): Populate @user_includes, @automake_includes, and
1139 @system_includes instead of filling a unique @dirlist array.
1140 ("MAIN"): Adjust to scan m4 files in @user_includes,
1141 @automake_includes, and @system_includes.
1143 2004-11-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1145 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correct comment. From Akim.
1147 2004-11-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1149 * aclocal.in: Use Automake::ChannelDefs, and adjust all output
1150 to be done via `fatal', `msg', `verb', or `prog_error'.
1151 (version): New function.
1152 (parse_arguments): Rewrite using Getopt::Long, call &version, and
1153 honor -W and --warning.
1155 (trace_used_macros): Do not trace the first arguments of macros
1156 for which we do not need it. This caused failures because of
1157 unexpected newlines in the output.
1158 * doc/automake.texi (aclocal options): Document -W and --warning.
1159 * tests/defs.in (ACLOCAL): Always use -Werror, to catch Perl
1160 warnings about uninitialized variables.
1162 2004-11-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1164 * tests/defs.in: Do not distinguish VERBOSE=x from
1165 VERBOSE=anything_but_x, always turn on shell traces.
1167 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Make sure $map_traced_defs{$m} exists
1168 before using it. Suppress a warning observable in test/acloca16.test.
1169 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1171 2004-11-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1173 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Make sure $ENV{'MAKEFLAGS'} exists
1174 before inspecting it; this fixes "uninitialized value in
1175 concatenation" diagnostics when flock fails.
1176 Report from Gary V. Vaughan.
1178 * aclocal.in: Use strict and -w. Declare local variables with `my',
1179 and get rid of `local'.
1180 (scan_m4_files, add_macro): Reindent these functions while we are
1183 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
1185 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Spelling and grammar corrections
1186 from Ralf Wildenhues.
1188 2004-10-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1190 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Augment with an example setup.
1191 (LTLIBOBJ): Rename as ...
1192 (LTLIBOBJS): ... this. Link to LIBOBJS, and mention LTALLOCA.
1194 2004-10-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1196 * doc/automake.texi: Untabify, tabs in the examples are poorly
1198 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Grep tabs in the manual.
1200 * tests/comment8.test: Use $MAKE, not make.
1202 2004-10-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1204 * tests/distcom3.test: Typo.
1206 2004-10-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1208 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Convenience Libraries): Explain how
1209 to force the linker selection.
1211 * lib/install-sh: Fix the dirname emulation to ignore trailing
1212 slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'. This
1213 caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
1214 * tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
1215 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
1217 2004-10-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1219 * automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
1220 by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
1221 target name. Simplify this function to simply conditionally
1222 prepend $U to the given extension.
1223 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Hard-code
1224 the extension to use. This way Automake won't mistake a program
1225 named `foo.la' as a libtool library.
1226 * tests/primary3.test: New file.
1227 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add primary3.test.
1229 2004-10-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1231 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Link to node Extending for examples.
1232 (Extending): More comments about install-data-hook vs
1233 install-exec-hook, and link to Install.
1235 * configure.ac: Export @am_AUTOCONF@.
1236 * tests/defs.in (AUTOCONF): Define as @am_AUTOCONF@, not @AUTOCONF@,
1237 so the test suite runs `autoconf' and not `missing --run autoconf'.
1238 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing
1239 to be used in front of autoconf even if the user has exported
1240 AUTOCONF. This fixes two spurious failures reported by
1243 * lib/compile: Handle output.obj in addition to output.o.
1244 * tests/compile.test: Check for this.
1246 2004-10-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1248 * doc/automake.texi (Sources): Typo, reported by Karl Berry.
1250 2004-10-10 Kelley Cook <kcook@gcc.gnu.org> (tiny change)

1261 2004-10-10 Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> (tiny change)
1263 * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): Check dependency tracking mode for CCAS.
1264 * automake.in (cppasm): Use the dependency tracking more for CCAS.
1265 * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Note that *.S are
1266 preprocessed with CPPFLAGS.
1268 2004-10-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
1270 * automake.in (Languages): Split .s (asm) and .S (cppasm) into
1271 separate languages. Make cppasm (Preprocessed Assembler) aware
1272 of CPPFLAGS, AM_CPPFLAGS.
1273 (handle_languages): Fix typo.
1274 (lang_cppasm_rewrite): New function.
1276 2004-09-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1278 * tests/subobj9.test: Adjust regexes after previous patch.
1280 2004-09-28 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1282 * automake.in (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable): Output
1283 Libtool's --tag= option before --mode=compile, because depcomp use
1284 --mode=compile as end marker for libtool arguments.
1285 (define_linker_variable): Likewise before --mode=link, for
1287 * tests/pr307.test: Make sure dependency files are updated. That
1288 was not the case because depcomp thought `--tag=CC' was the
1289 compiler to get dependencies from.
1290 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
1292 2004-09-26 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1294 * configure.ac: Require Perl 5.6.
1295 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Require Perl 5.6 (not done in
1296 lib/Automake/General.pm because it is shared with Autoconf),
1297 and use `our' instead of `use vars'.
1298 * aclocal.in (rel2abs): Remove.
1299 (scan_configure_dep): Use File::Spec->rel2abs instead.
1301 * tests/compile.test, tests/instsh2.test, tests/instspc.test: Use
1302 two consecutive spaces in filename instead of one, to catch mistake
1303 like `echo $val | ...`.
1304 * tests/README: Suggest this.
1305 Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
1307 2004-09-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1309 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Document -local targets.
1311 2004-09-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1313 * doc/automake.texi: Typos.
1315 2004-09-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1336 about Automake in Alias to Tom.
1337 (Releases): Rename `ac' to `acl', suggested by Akim.

1348 * doc/automake.texi (Dependencies): Link to Dependency Tracking
1350 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Link to GNU make, Sources (for
1351 BUILT_SOURCES), and update the paragraph about the "plan" to
1352 inline dependency tracking with gcc3.
1354 * doc/automake.texi (History): New node.
1355 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): New node, filled with a Texinfo
1356 version of Tom Tromey's ``Dependency Tracking in Automake''
1357 document, initially published on the Automake homepage on
1360 2004-09-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1362 * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Make sure AC_PROG_CC is never
1363 called after this macro.

1367 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1369 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (_print_message): Handle uniq_part with
1371 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Set uniq_part so that the
1372 AM_PROG_CC_C_O diagnostic is output only once for subdir objects
1373 and only once for objects with per-target flags.
1375 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Print files and locations
1376 for AM_PROG_CC_C_O errors.
1377 (handle_single_transform): Pass $var to &$subr so it can

1381 instead of $status which is read-only in Zsh.
1383 2004-09-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1384 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1386 * lib/compile: Preserve spaces in arguments (for example
1387 -DPACKAGE_STRING="foo 0.1").
1388 * tests/compile.test: New file.
1389 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add compile.test.

1401 lang_c_rewrite can distinguish libtool objects.
1402 * tests/libtool7.test: Use subdir-objects without using AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
1403 Report from Gary V. Vaughan and Patrick Welche.
1405 2004-09-07 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
1407 * automake.in ($PATH_PATTERN): Add `+'.
1409 2004-09-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1411 * tests/missing3.test: New file (check for Paolo's change below).
1412 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add missing3.test.
1414 2004-09-07 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1416 * missing: Handle all command line options together. Add a
1417 separate case statement to detect failed runs, and fail
1418 silently there if --help or --version is passed to the program.
1420 2004-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1422 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
1424 For PR automake/433:
1425 * configure.ac (pkgvdatadir): Define using "$PACKAGE", not "automake".
1427 Fix PR automake/432:
1428 * lib/am/yacc.am [!%?MORE-THAN-ONE%]: Replace `#line's in y.tab.h too.
1429 * tests/yacc7.test: Check this.
1431 2004-08-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1433 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (new): Precompute 'string' and 'conds'
1434 in place instead of as a side-effect of calling ->string and ->conds.
1435 This saves method-lookup time, simplify ->string and ->conds, and
1436 allows to create the object only when necessary.
1437 (string, conds): Simplify, now that the result is precomputed.
1439 * automake.in (%am_file_cache): New hash.
1440 (make_paragraphs): Cache .am files with comments stripped to save
1441 some useless input and substitutions.
1443 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_primary_dict): New hash.

1452 * lib/Automake/Item.pm (def): Rewrite more concisely, it's faster
1455 2004-08-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1457 Speed up make_paragraphs.
1458 * automake.in (handle_languages): Always define SUBDIROBJ,
1459 DERIVED-EXT, and DIST_SOURCE, because the new transform() will
1460 abort on unknown tokens.
1461 (transform): Rewrite with different semantics.
1462 (make_paragraphs): Make a single pass over the paragraph to
1463 transform all template tokens instead of doing as much passes as
1466 * automake.in ($libtool_new_api): New variable.
1467 (handle_libtool): Do not libtool's aux files if $libtool_new_api.
1468 (scan_autoconf_traces) <LT_SUPPORTED_TAG>: Set $libtool_new_api.
1469 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE>: Remember only the
1470 first location for required files.
1472 2004-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1474 Support AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE, and fix requirement of AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
1475 * automake.in (%required_aux_file): New hash.
1476 (handle_single_transform, lang_c_rewrite): Do not explicitly
1477 require 'compile', this is now an internal detail of
1479 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE and fill
1481 (scan_autoconf_files): Require all %required_aux_file instead
1482 of explicitly requiring install-sh and missing.
1483 (generate_makefile): Do not require config.sub and config.guess.
1484 (handle_single_transform): Pass $have_per_exec_flags to
1486 * configure.ac, m4/init.m4: Require Autoconf 2.59a.
1487 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
1488 (Program and Library Variables, Options, Public macros):
1489 AM_PROG_CC_C_O is required when per-target flags or subdir-objects
1490 are used with C sources.
1491 * m4/minuso.m4: Require `compile' using AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
1492 * m4/missing.m4: Require `missing' similarly.
1493 * tests/acsubst2.test, tests/distcom2.test, tests/distcom6.test,
1494 tests/specflg.test, tests/specflg2.test, tests/specflg3.test,
1495 tests/specflg6.test, tests/specflg7.test, tests/specflg8.test,
1496 tests/specflg9.test, tests/subobj7.test, tests/target-cflags.test,
1497 tests/yacc6.test: Fix to use AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
1499 2004-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1501 * automake.in (yacc_lex_finish_helper): Fix definition of YLWRAP
1502 when ylwrap is installed in a default aux dir found in a parent
1504 * tests/subpkg.test: Augment to check that YLWRAP is installed
1506 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): ylwrap is not sought is the
1508 Report from Norman Gray.
1510 2004-08-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1512 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Update documentation for
1513 AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET.
1515 * automake.in (AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): Replace by ...
1516 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): ... these.
1517 (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan for the latter three macros instead of
1519 (make_paragraphs): Adjust definitions of %BUILD%, %HOST%, and %TARGET%.
1520 * tests/hosts.test: New file.
1521 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hosts.test.
1522 Report and test case from Norman Gray.
1524 2004-08-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1526 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Update "#Extending%20aclocal" URL, makeinfo
1527 4.7 now outputs "#Extending-aclocal".
1529 2004-08-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1530 Derek R. Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1532 Disable Lex and Yacc rules whenever possible if AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1533 is used and maintainer-mode disabled.
1534 * automake.in (Automake::struct): Define nodist_specific.
1535 Set it in languages yacc, yaccxx, lex, and lexxx.
1536 (register_language): Default nodist_specific to 0.
1537 (handle_single_transform): Honor nodist_specific.
1538 * lib/am/yacc.am (am__skipyacc): Define this in maintainer mode.
1539 (%EXT%%DERIVED-EXT%, %OBJ%): Use $(am__skipyacc) to disable these

1552 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.9a.
1554 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.9.
1556 * automake.in (generate_makefile): Update misleading comment about
1559 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
1561 2004-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1563 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Remove `.' from the mkdir_p
1564 definition, it causes `make install' to fails for user with no
1565 right to write in the source-tree.
1566 * automake.in (handle_configure): Do not use mkdir_p in the
1567 definition for $(mkdir_p).
1568 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1570 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Typo in comment.
1572 2004-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1574 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Typo in example.
1575 Report from Ulrich Eckhardt.

1579 * automake.in (check_directory): Quote $dir in regexp.
1581 2004-07-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1583 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8e.
1585 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8d.
1587 * lib/config-ml.in, lib/config.sub, lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex:
1588 New upstream versions.
1590 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
1591 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Use $(X), not ${X}.
1593 * tests/installdir.test: installdirs-local should appear three times,
1594 since the change from 2004-07-11 will make it PHONY.
1596 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Always use $(DIST_SUBDIRS) now
1597 that it is always defined. This is less confusing for users
1598 reading the generated Makefiles.
1599 * automake.in (handle_dist): Do not substitute DIST_SUBDIR_NAME.
1601 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
1602 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Output .htp, and then rename to .html
1603 on success. In case the target is a directory, this ensures its
1604 time stamp is updated and the no files are left over inside.
1605 * tests/txinfo21.test: Augment to test missing timestamp update
1606 reported by Akim Demaille.
1608 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Rename as ...
1609 (Directories): ... this, and split into ...
1610 (Subdirectories, Conditional Subdirectories): ... these.
1611 (Subdirectories): Illustrate the use of `.'.
1612 (Conditional Subdirectories): Describe SUBDIRS and DIST_SUBDIRS
1613 before the example. Append a discussion about non-configured
1614 conditional directories.
1615 (Alternative): Move as a child of Directories.
1616 (Subpackages): New section.
1617 (Dist): Adjust links to Subdirectories, a Subpackages.

1622 * automake.in (target_hook): Accept %transform as last argument.
1623 (handle_single_transform): Pass %transform to target_hook.
1624 (handle_source_transform): Define DIST_SOURCE to tell whether
1625 a the source of a file is distributed or not.
1626 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Check DIST_SOURCE, and do not distribute
1627 the generated header if the .y source is not distributed.
1628 * tests/pr204.test: Use AM_YFLAGS = -d and make sure generated
1629 headers are not distributed.
1631 2004-07-12 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com> (tiny change)
1633 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Improve ustar file name length
1634 discussion. Reference tar manual.
1636 2004-07-12 Ray Simard <rhs.techlists@sylvan-glade.com> (tiny change)
1638 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Fix precondition check.
1640 2004-07-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1642 For PR automake/428:
1643 Support for conditionally defined -hook and -local rules.
1644 * automake.in (user_phony_rule): New function.
1645 (handle_dist, handle_install, handle_all, do_check_merge_target,
1646 handle_factored_dependencies): Use user_phony_rule before
1647 adding a user -hook or -local rule as a dependency to ensure
1648 it is always defined an phony.
1649 * tests/cond37.test, tests/condhook.test: New files.
1650 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
1651 Report from Simon Josefsson and Nik A. Melchior.
1653 2004-07-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1655 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Warn that you should create
1656 /tmp/staging before installing into it, to avoid security problems.
1657 * lib/install-sh: Remove support for -b= and -t= options; this
1658 has been moribund for a decade.
1659 Add support for -t and -T options (new in coreutils install).
1660 -c option now does nothing (the default is to copy), for
1661 compatibility with BSD and coreutils 'install'.
1662 Fix usage message; it referred to nonexistent variables.
1663 Don't assume 'lasterr' is unset in environment.
1664 * tests/instsh2.test: Don't assume that install-sh without -c
1665 moves (it now copies). Add tests for new -t and -T options.
1667 2004-06-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1669 For Debian Bug#254372:
1670 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Rewrite the paragraph
1671 explaining m4_include is used for relative files.
1673 2004-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1675 For Debian Bug #251820:
1676 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Keep track of the location where each
1677 file is included, and display it when reporting a missing file.
1678 Pass this location to scan_file as a second argument.
1679 (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_file.
1680 * tests/acloca14.test: Add a test for this diagnostic.
1682 2004-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1684 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Split the definition of $_am_tools
1685 so it works with Solaris and Tru64 /bin/sh.
1686 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1688 2004-06-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1690 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Introduce $_am_tools to work around a
1691 bug in NetBSD /bin/sh.
1692 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1694 2004-06-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1696 * tests/defs.in (required=icc): Use `-V -help' instead of
1697 `-V -dryrun'. icc 8.0 fails on the latter.
1698 * tests/depcomp5.test: Require depmode=icc for icc 7.x, and
1699 depmod=gcc otherwise.
1700 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1702 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Do no
1703 `rm -f $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' if `$(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' is empty.
1704 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1706 2004-05-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1708 * NEWS: Make clearer that we do not output partial Makefile.ins on
1710 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1712 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Use $dir$base.o.d instead
1713 of $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Libtool 1.5 causes both to be output,
1714 and we will clean the second automatically during distclean.
1715 Using the latter and leaving the former as we did before cause
1716 "files left in build directory" failures during distcheck.
1717 Suggested by Nicolas Joly.
1719 * doc/automake.texi (Built sources example): Explain what
1720 nodist_foo_SOURCES is (not) useful to, and use it in all the
1722 (Tags): Mention nodist_noinst_HEADERS and nodist_prog_SOURCES.
1723 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1725 2004-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1727 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8c.
1729 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8b.
1731 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR) <cpio>: Specify -o and -i option first,
1732 by POSIX; and use option -d in am_untar.
1734 * tests/defs.in (PATH): Export it.
1736 * lib/am/multilib.am: Add $(MAKE) comments to multido and
1737 multiclean lines, to enable parallel make. Based on a patch
1738 by Alexandre Oliva applied to newlib on 2003-10-15.
1740 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1742 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for LT_SUPPORTED_TAG
1743 instead of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, since that how CVS Libtool has been
1745 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not grep for --tag=CC, since CVS
1746 Libtool (unlike Libtool 1.5) does not has any CC tag.
1748 * tests/tar2.test: Skip the test if no pax archiver were found.
1750 * NEWS: Sync with branch-1-8, and reorganize current entry.
1752 * automake.in (handle_libraries): Make the diagnostic about
1753 non standard libraries a warning in foreign packages. This
1754 is already the case in handle_ltlibraries.
1755 (handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Suggest a standard
1756 library name in the diagnostic, to help newcomers.
1757 * tests/stdlib.test, tests/stdlib2.test: Check for these
1760 Check directory names for unportable names. Shaking the code
1761 to check this also led to the removal of the no-"/"-in-SUBDIRS
1762 restriction, and a fix to _do_recursive_traversal.
1764 * automake.in (check_directory): New function extracted from
1765 handle_subdirs, and augmented to check for reserved W32/DOS name.
1766 (check_directories_in_var): New function.
1767 (handle_subdirs): Call check_directories_in_var. Doing so also
1768 suppress the restriction that SUBDIRS should not contain slashes.
1769 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR>: Call check_directory
1770 to ensure the argument exists and is safe.
1771 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Do not say that src/subdir
1772 cannot be put in SUBDIRS.
1773 (Dist): Mention that distdir and top_distdir can be absolute.
1774 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_do_recursive_traversal) Support
1775 undefined $fun_collect, and fix two bugs introduced with
1776 skip_ac_subst on 2004-03-07.
1777 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Use absolute distdir and
1778 top_distdir when recursing, because we can no longer prepend only
1779 `..' in case of SUBDIRS with `/'.
1780 * tests/auxdir4.test, tests/subdir9.test: New files.
1781 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add auxdir4.test.
1782 * tests/cond2.test, tests/subdir7.test: Augment to check location
1785 2004-05-21 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> (tiny changes)
1787 * tests/txinfo22.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Use aux1, not aux, for
1788 cygwin compatibility.
1789 * tests/yacc6.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Likewise.
1791 * tests/conflnk3.test: Isolate checking for working `test -e' into
1792 a subshell, to skip this test on broken /bin/sh of solaris.
1794 2004-05-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1796 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITIONAL): Double-quote diagnostic.
1797 * tests/condd.test: Define a macro with the same name as a
1799 * tests/pr220.test: Modernize, and make sure the diagnostics
1800 contains the macro name.
1801 Report from Volker Boerchers.
1803 2004-05-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1805 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
1807 2004-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1809 * automake.in (handle_dist): Always define DIST_SUBDIRS, even when
1810 the no-dist or cygnus options are used.
1811 * tests/clean2.test: New file.
1812 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add clean2.test.
1813 Report from Daniel Jacobowitz.
1815 * aclocal.in (add_macro): Do not error out on undefined required
1816 macros. We are not sure they are really used, and Autoconf
1817 already diagnoses them.
1818 (scan_configure_dep): Diagnose missing AM_ macros as warnings rather
1820 * tests/aclocal3.test, tests/ammissing.test: Adjust to expect a
1821 warning instead of an error.
1822 * tests/aclocal8.test: AC_REQUIRE an undefined macro in an unused
1823 macro, and ensure aclocal works anyway.
1824 * tests/acloca17.test: New file.
1825 * tests/error.test: Delete, superseded by tests/acloca17.test.
1826 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca17.test and remove error.test.
1827 Report from Jim Meyering.
1829 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?!GENERIC_INFO?%DEST_INFO_PREFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1830 Fold a few lines to reduce the output by 5 lines.
1831 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1833 * automake.in (parse_arguments, MAIN): Give more precise
1834 diagnostics when no input file is found.
1835 * tests/output5.test: Adjust.
1836 Suggested by Jens Petersen.
1838 2004-05-14 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1840 * lib/am/libs.am (AR, ARFLAGS): Move these definition ...
1841 * automake.in (handle_libraries): ... here, so that they are
1842 output even for EXTRA_LIBRARIES.
1843 * tests/ar2.test: New file.
1844 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1845 Report from Kevin Ryde.
1847 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1849 * automake.in (generate_makefile): Do not output Makefile.in on
1851 * tests/werror2.test: New file.
1852 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add werror2.test.
1853 * tests/substtarg.test, tests/cond36.test, tests/backsl4.test:
1854 Adjust to run automake with -Wno-error when the output is expected
1855 in spite of the error.
1856 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1858 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Remove
1859 doubled word in footnote.
1861 * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Also check for a
1862 $(srcdir)/old_source rule when computing the default source name.
1863 Propagate this $(srcdir) prefix in Automake variables.
1864 * tests/ltlibsrc.test (noinst_LTLIBRARIES): Explicitly refer to
1865 $(srcdir)/zoo_d_old2_la.c. This fixes another failure with BSD Make.
1867 2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1869 * Makefile.am (fetch): Work even with FreeBSD "make", which
1870 uses sh -e and thus errors-out if a simple-command fails.
1871 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Likewise.
1872 * lib/am/ltlib.am (clean-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Likewise.
1873 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Likewise.
1875 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1877 * tests/lex3.test, tests/yacc6.test: Require GNU Make.
1878 Fixing these for BSD Make requires invasive changes (lexers and
1879 parsers must be built into $srcdir, and--most annoyingly--all
1880 references to parse.h must be changed to $(srcdir)/parse.h).
1881 Report from Mark D. Baushke.
1883 2004-05-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1885 * tests/defs.in (GNUmake): Grep for GNU to parry FreeBSD make.
1886 Report from Mark D. Baushke.
1888 2004-04-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

2381 $(am__strip_dir) to simplify install and uninstall rules.
2382 * tests/nobase.test: Augment to check installation from VPATH builds.
2384 * automake.in (%transformed_files): New variable.
2385 (initialize_per_input): Reset it.
2386 (make_paragraphs): Fill %transformed_files, and define %FIRST%
2387 each time a file is transformed for the first time.
2388 (handle_configure): Do not define %FIRST_CONFIG_HIN%.
2389 (am_install_var): Do not define %FIRST%.
2390 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am: Use %?FIRST% instead of %?FIRST_CONFIG_HIN%.
2392 2004-01-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2394 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
2396 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Do not use `-m 0755'. This overrides special bits
2397 and break setups where 775 directories are expected. Just obey
2398 umask as we did in the past.
2399 Report from Harlan Stenn.
2401 2004-01-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2403 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Do not compare $outfile to ''
2404 as $outfile might not be defined at all.
2406 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Rework the way we check
2407 Automake variable definition. Ensure consistent :=/+=/=
2408 definitions only for variables that have been and are defined by
2409 Automake, and make it an internal error. Ignore Automake
2410 attempts to touch a user variable, even with += assignments.
2411 * tests/txinfo29.test: New file.
2412 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo29.test.
2413 Reported by Bruce Korb.
2415 2004-01-02 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
2417 * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Don't generate dist
2418 variables when no-dist is set.
2419 (generate_makefile): Likewise.
2420 * tests/nodist3.test: Ensure that DIST_SOURCES is not created,
2421 and that dist target does not exist.
2422 Reported by Tom Fitzsimmons.
2424 2004-01-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2426 * tests/libtool5.test, tests/ltcond.test, tests/ltcond2.test,
2427 * tests/ltconv.test: Run automake with --add-missing, because
2428 the CVS version of libtoolize no longer install config.sub and
2429 config.guess by default.
2431 Fix for PR automake/319:
2432 * aclocal.in (scan_m4_files): Scan configure.ac.
2433 (trace_used_macros, write_aclocal): Remove configure.ac from the
2434 list of files to include.
2435 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca15.test.
2436 * tests/acloca15.test: New file.
2438 * aclocal.in (%file_includes): New variable.
2439 (scan_configure_dep): Compile $m4_include_rx and $ac_require_rx once.
2440 (scan_file): Scan for included files, and process these files
2441 recursively. Fill %file_includes and %file_contents. Return the
2442 list of included files, not the contents.
2443 (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_files.
2444 (strip_redundant_includes): New function.
2445 (trace_used_macros): Call it.
2446 (write_aclocal): Likewise. Also check the mtime of included files.
2447 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca14.test.
2448 * tests/acloca14.test: New file.
2449 Report from Phil Edwards.
2451 2004-01-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2453 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define DEP_FILES.
2454 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Extract included
2455 files with $(DEPDIR) in their name instead of DEP_FILES.
2456 * tests/depend.test, tests/depend4.test, tests/exsource.test:
2458 Suggested by Tom Tromey.
2460 Do not output .lo rules for programs and static libraries objects,
2461 and do not output .o/.obj rules for libtool libraries. This is
2462 about explicit rules only, not inference rules.
2463 * automake.in (handle_single_transform_list): Rename as ...
2464 (handle_single_transform): ... this. Take a single file
2465 to transform (it was only called this way) and accept a new
2466 %transform argument. Fill %lang_specific_files with list
2467 references instead of strings, and append %transform to each
2469 (define_objects_from_sources, handle_source_transform):
2470 Take a %transform argument, and forward it to &handle_single_transform.
2471 (handle_languages): Adjust to the new format of
2472 %lang_specific_files, and honor its %transform part.
2473 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Override
2474 %NONLIBTOOL% and %LIBTOOL% while calling handle_source_transform.
2475 (make_paragraphs): Define %NONLIBTOOL% by default. Make sure
2476 %transform settings override global settings.
2477 * lib/am/depend2.am (%OBJ%, %OBJOBJ%): Define only if %NONLIBTOOL%.
2478 * tests/libtool3.test: Augment to check Makefile.ins for unneeded
2480 Suggested by Thomas Fitzsimmons.
2482 * automake.in, aclocal.in: Bump copyright years.
