1 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
4 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
5 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
6 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
7 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
8 for missing files that can be installed.
9 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
11 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
13 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
14 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
16 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
17 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
18 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
20 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
22 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
23 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
24 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
25 if the usual candidates show up.
27 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
29 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
31 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
33 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream
36 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
38 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
39 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
41 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
43 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
44 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
46 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
48 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
49 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
52 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
54 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
56 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
57 New upstream versions.
59 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
61 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
63 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
65 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
66 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
67 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
68 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
69 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
71 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
73 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
74 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
75 Report from Harald Dunkel.
77 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
79 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
80 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
81 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
82 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
84 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
86 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
87 `mkdir -p' does not work.
88 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
89 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
90 Report from Noah Friedman.
92 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
93 Report from Karl Berry.
95 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
96 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
98 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
99 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
100 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
102 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
104 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
105 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
106 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
107 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
108 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
109 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
110 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
111 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
112 Report from Ed Hartnett.
114 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
116 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
118 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
119 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
120 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
121 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
122 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
124 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
126 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
127 Fix redirections in previous patch.
129 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
131 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
132 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
133 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
134 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
135 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
136 Report from Bob Proulx.
138 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
140 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
142 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
144 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
147 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
148 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
149 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
150 Report from Tom Tromey.

875 * automake.in (check_user_variables): New function, extracted
877 (handle_languages): ... here.
878 (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable, define_link_variable):
880 (handle_single_transform): Check _LIBTOOLFLAGS in
881 addition to other per-target flags for Libtool objects.
882 (handle_libtool): Warn if LIBTOOLFLAGS is defined.
883 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Flags, Program and Library Variables,
884 Flag Variables Ordering): Document LIBTOOLFLAGS.
885 * tests/libtool7.test: Check basic support for LIBTOOLFLAGS.
886 * tests/libtool8.test: Make sure Automake warns about LIBTOOLFLAGS
888 * tests/subobj9.test: Adjust.
890 2004-12-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
892 * doc/automake.texi (Per-Object Flags): New node.
894 2004-12-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
897 * lib/am/java.am (install-%DIR%JAVA, uninstall-%DIR%JAVA): Do
898 not install *.class if "$(%DIR%_JAVA)" is empty.
899 * tests/java3.test: New file.
900 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
901 Report from Johannes Nicolai.
903 * doc/automake.texi (Java): Mention dist_ and add an example.

910 reset_dir_cache): New functions.
911 * automake.in (handle_dist, require_file_internal): Use them, so
912 that CHANGELOG is not confused with ChangeLog on case-insensitive
913 case-preserving file systems.
914 * tests/hfs.test: New file.
915 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hfs.test.
917 2004-12-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
919 * lib/mdate-sh: Don't use "set - x`$ls_command /`", as zsh mishandles
920 the spaces inside $ls_command. Problem reported by Loulou Pouchet in
921 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-12/msg00074.html>.
922 Don't use "set - x"; plain "set x" is enough, and simplifies debugging.
924 2004-12-05 Toshio Kuratomi <toshio@tiki-lounge.com>
926 * lib/py-compile: Add --destdir switch to py-compile that takes a
927 path argument that is not compiled into the file when byte compiling.
928 * lib/am/python.am: Use the new py-compile arguments to not include
929 DESTDIR in the byte compiled files.
930 * tests/python12.test: Test that DESTDIR won't be byte compiled into
933 2004-12-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
935 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Typo.
937 * doc/automake.texi: Use @acindex for Autoconf macros, and @vindex
938 for variables (@cvindex was previously used for both). Separate
939 these two indices in the output. Use @code, @file, and @command
940 in @cindex lines wherever appropriate so they render nicely.
942 2004-12-05 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
944 * doc/automake.texi (renamed objects, CVS): Typos.
946 2004-12-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
948 * doc/automake.texi (Flag Variables Ordering): New section.
949 (User Variables, Program and Library Variables): @xref it.
951 2004-11-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
953 * doc/automake.texi (Conditional Subdirectories): More comments
954 about non-distributed subdirectories.
956 * Makefile.am (maintainer-clean): Check for unescaped @ in manual.
958 2004-11-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
960 * doc/automake.texi (Built sources example): Fix typo.
962 2004-11-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
964 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Diagnose abbreviation ambiguous with
966 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Likewise.

980 Report from Eric Blake.
982 * lib/am/progs.am (installcheck-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Run programs with
983 /dev/null as input, so we do not hang on programs that read their
984 input without supporting --help and --version.
985 * lib/am/scripts.am (installcheck-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Likewise for scripts.
986 * tests/gnits2.test: Change scriptnok.sh to cat its input.
987 Report and fix from James Youngman.
989 2004-11-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
991 * aclocal.in (%file_seen): Rename as ...
992 (%file_added): ... this, and move it close to add_file(), the only
993 function that uses it.
995 * aclocal.in (version): Remove initial blank line and reproduce
996 the layout of automake --version. From Art Haas.
998 * aclocal.in (%file_type, FT_USER, FT_AUTOMAKE_SYSTEM): New variables.
999 (scan_m4_dirs): New function, extracted from ...
1000 (scan_m4_files): ... here. Call scan_m4_files three times, for each
1002 (scan_file): Take a file type argument to update %file_type.
1003 (write_aclocal): Do not m4_include files that are not of type FT_USER.

1007 * tests/defs.in (testaclocaldir): New variable.
1008 * tests/aclocal.test: Use it to fix the test. Report from
1011 2004-11-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1013 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Fix the invocation of
1014 AC_PATH_PROGS to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no interpreter
1015 is found (this worked correctly only when a minimal version was
1016 passed to AM_PATH_PYTHON). Report from Stepan Kasal.
1017 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Define using m4_define_default,
1018 so we can easily override the list from the test suite.
1019 * tests/python11.test: New file.
1020 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add python11.test.
1022 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Make clearer that -module
1023 should appear explicitly in _LDFLAGS.
1025 2004-11-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1027 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correctly recognize --print-ac-dir.
1028 * tests/aclocal.test: Check --print-ac-dir and a unknown option.
1030 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Fix detection of unexisting default
1031 $(datadir)/aclocal. Report from Akim.
1033 2004-11-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1035 * aclocal.in ($acdir): Rename as ...
1036 (@system_includes): ... this.

1038 ($default_acdir, $default_dirlist): Remove.
1039 (parse_arguments): Populate @user_includes, @automake_includes, and
1040 @system_includes instead of filling a unique @dirlist array.
1041 ("MAIN"): Adjust to scan m4 files in @user_includes,
1042 @automake_includes, and @system_includes.
1044 2004-11-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1046 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correct comment. From Akim.
1048 2004-11-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1050 * aclocal.in: Use Automake::ChannelDefs, and adjust all output
1051 to be done via `fatal', `msg', `verb', or `prog_error'.
1052 (version): New function.
1053 (parse_arguments): Rewrite using Getopt::Long, call &version, and
1054 honor -W and --warning.
1056 (trace_used_macros): Do not trace the first arguments of macros
1057 for which we do not need it. This caused failures because of
1058 unexpected newlines in the output.
1059 * doc/automake.texi (aclocal options): Document -W and --warning.
1060 * tests/defs.in (ACLOCAL): Always use -Werror, to catch Perl
1061 warnings about uninitialized variables.
1063 2004-11-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1065 * tests/defs.in: Do not distinguish VERBOSE=x from
1066 VERBOSE=anything_but_x, always turn on shell traces.
1068 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Make sure $map_traced_defs{$m} exists
1069 before using it. Suppress a warning observable in test/acloca16.test.
1070 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1072 2004-11-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1074 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Make sure $ENV{'MAKEFLAGS'} exists
1075 before inspecting it; this fixes "uninitialized value in
1076 concatenation" diagnostics when flock fails.
1077 Report from Gary V. Vaughan.
1079 * aclocal.in: Use strict and -w. Declare local variables with `my',
1080 and get rid of `local'.
1081 (scan_m4_files, add_macro): Reindent these functions while we are
1084 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
1086 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Spelling and grammar corrections
1087 from Ralf Wildenhues.
1089 2004-10-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1091 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Augment with an example setup.
1092 (LTLIBOBJ): Rename as ...
1093 (LTLIBOBJS): ... this. Link to LIBOBJS, and mention LTALLOCA.
1095 2004-10-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1097 * doc/automake.texi: Untabify, tabs in the examples are poorly
1099 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Grep tabs in the manual.
1101 * tests/comment8.test: Use $MAKE, not make.
1103 2004-10-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1105 * tests/distcom3.test: Typo.
1107 2004-10-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1109 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Convenience Libraries): Explain how
1110 to force the linker selection.
1112 * lib/install-sh: Fix the dirname emulation to ignore trailing
1113 slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'. This
1114 caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
1115 * tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
1116 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
1118 2004-10-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1120 * automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
1121 by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
1122 target name. Simplify this function to simply conditionally
1123 prepend $U to the given extension.
1124 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Hard-code
1125 the extension to use. This way Automake won't mistake a program
1126 named `foo.la' as a libtool library.
1127 * tests/primary3.test: New file.
1128 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add primary3.test.
1130 2004-10-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1132 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Link to node Extending for examples.
1133 (Extending): More comments about install-data-hook vs
1134 install-exec-hook, and link to Install.
1136 * configure.ac: Export @am_AUTOCONF@.
1137 * tests/defs.in (AUTOCONF): Define as @am_AUTOCONF@, not @AUTOCONF@,
1138 so the test suite runs `autoconf' and not `missing --run autoconf'.
1139 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing
1140 to be used in front of autoconf even if the user has exported
1141 AUTOCONF. This fixes two spurious failures reported by
1144 * lib/compile: Handle output.obj in addition to output.o.
1145 * tests/compile.test: Check for this.
1147 2004-10-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1149 * doc/automake.texi (Sources): Typo, reported by Karl Berry.
1151 2004-10-10 Kelley Cook <kcook@gcc.gnu.org> (tiny change)

1162 2004-10-10 Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> (tiny change)
1164 * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): Check dependency tracking mode for CCAS.
1165 * automake.in (cppasm): Use the dependency tracking more for CCAS.
1166 * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Note that *.S are
1167 preprocessed with CPPFLAGS.
1169 2004-10-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
1171 * automake.in (Languages): Split .s (asm) and .S (cppasm) into
1172 separate languages. Make cppasm (Preprocessed Assembler) aware
1173 of CPPFLAGS, AM_CPPFLAGS.
1174 (handle_languages): Fix typo.
1175 (lang_cppasm_rewrite): New function.
1177 2004-09-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1179 * tests/subobj9.test: Adjust regexes after previous patch.
1181 2004-09-28 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1183 * automake.in (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable): Output
1184 Libtool's --tag= option before --mode=compile, because depcomp use
1185 --mode=compile as end marker for libtool arguments.
1186 (define_linker_variable): Likewise before --mode=link, for
1188 * tests/pr307.test: Make sure dependency files are updated. That
1189 was not the case because depcomp thought `--tag=CC' was the
1190 compiler to get dependencies from.
1191 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
1193 2004-09-26 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1195 * configure.ac: Require Perl 5.6.
1196 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Require Perl 5.6 (not done in
1197 lib/Automake/General.pm because it is shared with Autoconf),
1198 and use `our' instead of `use vars'.
1199 * aclocal.in (rel2abs): Remove.
1200 (scan_configure_dep): Use File::Spec->rel2abs instead.
1202 * tests/compile.test, tests/instsh2.test, tests/instspc.test: Use
1203 two consecutive spaces in filename instead of one, to catch mistake
1204 like `echo $val | ...`.
1205 * tests/README: Suggest this.
1206 Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
1208 2004-09-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1210 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Document -local targets.
1212 2004-09-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1214 * doc/automake.texi: Typos.

1235 for their comments on a preliminary version of this, Akim for
1236 digging out some old mails, and Jason Molenda for sending the note
1237 about Automake in Alias to Tom.
1238 (Releases): Rename `ac' to `acl', suggested by Akim.

1249 * doc/automake.texi (Dependencies): Link to Dependency Tracking
1251 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Link to GNU make, Sources (for
1252 BUILT_SOURCES), and update the paragraph about the "plan" to
1253 inline dependency tracking with gcc3.
1255 * doc/automake.texi (History): New node.
1256 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): New node, filled with a Texinfo
1257 version of Tom Tromey's ``Dependency Tracking in Automake''
1258 document, initially published on the Automake homepage on
1261 2004-09-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1263 * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Make sure AC_PROG_CC is never
1264 called after this macro.

1268 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1270 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (_print_message): Handle uniq_part with
1272 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Set uniq_part so that the
1273 AM_PROG_CC_C_O diagnostic is output only once for subdir objects
1274 and only once for objects with per-target flags.
1276 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Print files and locations
1277 for AM_PROG_CC_C_O errors.
1278 (handle_single_transform): Pass $var to &$subr so it can
1281 * lib/compile, lib/elisp-comp, lib/install-sh, lib/ylwrap: Use $ret
1282 instead of $status which is read-only in Zsh.
1284 2004-09-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1285 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1288 -DPACKAGE_STRING="foo 0.1").
1289 * tests/compile.test: New file.
1290 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add compile.test.
1292 2004-09-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1295 mostlyclean-generic, clean-generic, distclean-generic, and
1296 maintainer-clean-generic.
1297 Report from Bob Friesenhahn.
1299 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Do not require AM_PROG_CC_C_O for
1301 (handle_single_transform): Pass nonansi_obj to &$subr so
1302 lang_c_rewrite can distinguish libtool objects.
1303 * tests/libtool7.test: Use subdir-objects without using AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
1304 Report from Gary V. Vaughan and Patrick Welche.
1306 2004-09-07 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
1308 * automake.in ($PATH_PATTERN): Add `+'.
1310 2004-09-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1313 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add missing3.test.
1315 2004-09-07 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1317 * missing: Handle all command line options together. Add a
1318 separate case statement to detect failed runs, and fail
1319 silently there if --help or --version is passed to the program.
1321 2004-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1323 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
1325 For PR automake/433:
1326 * configure.ac (pkgvdatadir): Define using "$PACKAGE", not "automake".

1330 * tests/yacc7.test: Check this.
1332 2004-08-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1334 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (new): Precompute 'string' and 'conds'
1335 in place instead of as a side-effect of calling ->string and ->conds.
1336 This saves method-lookup time, simplify ->string and ->conds, and
1337 allows to create the object only when necessary.
1338 (string, conds): Simplify, now that the result is precomputed.
1340 * automake.in (%am_file_cache): New hash.
1341 (make_paragraphs): Cache .am files with comments stripped to save
1342 some useless input and substitutions.

1356 2004-08-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1358 Speed up make_paragraphs.
1359 * automake.in (handle_languages): Always define SUBDIROBJ,
1360 DERIVED-EXT, and DIST_SOURCE, because the new transform() will
1361 abort on unknown tokens.
1362 (transform): Rewrite with different semantics.
1363 (make_paragraphs): Make a single pass over the paragraph to
1364 transform all template tokens instead of doing as much passes as
1367 * automake.in ($libtool_new_api): New variable.
1368 (handle_libtool): Do not libtool's aux files if $libtool_new_api.
1369 (scan_autoconf_traces) <LT_SUPPORTED_TAG>: Set $libtool_new_api.
1370 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE>: Remember only the
1371 first location for required files.
1373 2004-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1375 Support AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE, and fix requirement of AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
1376 * automake.in (%required_aux_file): New hash.
1377 (handle_single_transform, lang_c_rewrite): Do not explicitly
1378 require 'compile', this is now an internal detail of
1380 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE and fill
1382 (scan_autoconf_files): Require all %required_aux_file instead
1383 of explicitly requiring install-sh and missing.
1384 (generate_makefile): Do not require config.sub and config.guess.
1385 (handle_single_transform): Pass $have_per_exec_flags to
1387 * configure.ac, m4/init.m4: Require Autoconf 2.59a.
1388 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
1389 (Program and Library Variables, Options, Public macros):
1390 AM_PROG_CC_C_O is required when per-target flags or subdir-objects
1391 are used with C sources.

1407 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): ylwrap is not sought is the
1409 Report from Norman Gray.
1411 2004-08-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1413 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Update documentation for
1414 AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET.
1416 * automake.in (AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): Replace by ...

1431 Derek R. Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1433 Disable Lex and Yacc rules whenever possible if AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1434 is used and maintainer-mode disabled.
1435 * automake.in (Automake::struct): Define nodist_specific.
1436 Set it in languages yacc, yaccxx, lex, and lexxx.

1462 2004-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1464 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Remove `.' from the mkdir_p
1465 definition, it causes `make install' to fails for user with no
1466 right to write in the source-tree.
1467 * automake.in (handle_configure): Do not use mkdir_p in the
1468 definition for $(mkdir_p).
1469 Report from Harlan Stenn.

1488 * lib/config-ml.in, lib/config.sub, lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex:
1489 New upstream versions.
1491 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
1492 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Use $(X), not ${X}.
1494 * tests/installdir.test: installdirs-local should appear three times,
1495 since the change from 2004-07-11 will make it PHONY.
1497 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Always use $(DIST_SUBDIRS) now
1498 that it is always defined. This is less confusing for users
1499 reading the generated Makefiles.
1500 * automake.in (handle_dist): Do not substitute DIST_SUBDIR_NAME.
1502 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
1503 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Output .htp, and then rename to .html
1504 on success. In case the target is a directory, this ensures its
1505 time stamp is updated and the no files are left over inside.
1506 * tests/txinfo21.test: Augment to test missing timestamp update
1507 reported by Akim Demaille.
1509 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Rename as ...

1527 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Check DIST_SOURCE, and do not distribute
1528 the generated header if the .y source is not distributed.
1529 * tests/pr204.test: Use AM_YFLAGS = -d and make sure generated
1530 headers are not distributed.
1532 2004-07-12 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com> (tiny change)
1534 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Improve ustar file name length
1535 discussion. Reference tar manual.

1543 For PR automake/428:
1544 Support for conditionally defined -hook and -local rules.
1545 * automake.in (user_phony_rule): New function.
1546 (handle_dist, handle_install, handle_all, do_check_merge_target,
1547 handle_factored_dependencies): Use user_phony_rule before
1548 adding a user -hook or -local rule as a dependency to ensure
1549 it is always defined an phony.
1550 * tests/cond37.test, tests/condhook.test: New files.
1551 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
1552 Report from Simon Josefsson and Nik A. Melchior.
1554 2004-07-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1556 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Warn that you should create
1557 /tmp/staging before installing into it, to avoid security problems.
1558 * lib/install-sh: Remove support for -b= and -t= options; this
1559 has been moribund for a decade.
1560 Add support for -t and -T options (new in coreutils install).
1561 -c option now does nothing (the default is to copy), for
1562 compatibility with BSD and coreutils 'install'.
1563 Fix usage message; it referred to nonexistent variables.
1564 Don't assume 'lasterr' is unset in environment.
1565 * tests/instsh2.test: Don't assume that install-sh without -c
1566 moves (it now copies). Add tests for new -t and -T options.
1568 2004-06-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1570 For Debian Bug#254372:
1571 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Rewrite the paragraph
1572 explaining m4_include is used for relative files.
1574 2004-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1576 For Debian Bug #251820:
1577 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Keep track of the location where each
1578 file is included, and display it when reporting a missing file.
1579 Pass this location to scan_file as a second argument.
1580 (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_file.
1581 * tests/acloca14.test: Add a test for this diagnostic.
1583 2004-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1585 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Split the definition of $_am_tools
1586 so it works with Solaris and Tru64 /bin/sh.
1587 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1589 2004-06-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1591 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Introduce $_am_tools to work around a
1592 bug in NetBSD /bin/sh.
1593 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1595 2004-06-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1597 * tests/defs.in (required=icc): Use `-V -help' instead of
1598 `-V -dryrun'. icc 8.0 fails on the latter.
1599 * tests/depcomp5.test: Require depmode=icc for icc 7.x, and
1600 depmod=gcc otherwise.
1601 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1603 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Do no
1604 `rm -f $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' if `$(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' is empty.
1605 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1607 2004-05-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1609 * NEWS: Make clearer that we do not output partial Makefile.ins on
1611 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1613 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Use $dir$base.o.d instead
1614 of $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Libtool 1.5 causes both to be output,
1615 and we will clean the second automatically during distclean.
1616 Using the latter and leaving the former as we did before cause
1617 "files left in build directory" failures during distcheck.
1618 Suggested by Nicolas Joly.
1620 * doc/automake.texi (Built sources example): Explain what
1621 nodist_foo_SOURCES is (not) useful to, and use it in all the
1623 (Tags): Mention nodist_noinst_HEADERS and nodist_prog_SOURCES.
1624 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1626 2004-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1628 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8c.
1630 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8b.
1632 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR) <cpio>: Specify -o and -i option first,
1633 by POSIX; and use option -d in am_untar.
1635 * tests/defs.in (PATH): Export it.
1637 * lib/am/multilib.am: Add $(MAKE) comments to multido and
1638 multiclean lines, to enable parallel make. Based on a patch
1639 by Alexandre Oliva applied to newlib on 2003-10-15.
1641 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1643 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for LT_SUPPORTED_TAG
1644 instead of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, since that how CVS Libtool has been
1646 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not grep for --tag=CC, since CVS
1647 Libtool (unlike Libtool 1.5) does not has any CC tag.
1649 * tests/tar2.test: Skip the test if no pax archiver were found.
1651 * NEWS: Sync with branch-1-8, and reorganize current entry.
1653 * automake.in (handle_libraries): Make the diagnostic about
1654 non standard libraries a warning in foreign packages. This
1655 is already the case in handle_ltlibraries.
1656 (handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Suggest a standard
1657 library name in the diagnostic, to help newcomers.
1658 * tests/stdlib.test, tests/stdlib2.test: Check for these
1661 Check directory names for unportable names. Shaking the code
1662 to check this also led to the removal of the no-"/"-in-SUBDIRS
1663 restriction, and a fix to _do_recursive_traversal.
1665 * automake.in (check_directory): New function extracted from
1666 handle_subdirs, and augmented to check for reserved W32/DOS name.
1667 (check_directories_in_var): New function.
1668 (handle_subdirs): Call check_directories_in_var. Doing so also
1669 suppress the restriction that SUBDIRS should not contain slashes.
1670 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR>: Call check_directory
1671 to ensure the argument exists and is safe.
1672 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Do not say that src/subdir
1673 cannot be put in SUBDIRS.
1674 (Dist): Mention that distdir and top_distdir can be absolute.
1675 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_do_recursive_traversal) Support
1676 undefined $fun_collect, and fix two bugs introduced with
1677 skip_ac_subst on 2004-03-07.
1678 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Use absolute distdir and
1679 top_distdir when recursing, because we can no longer prepend only
1680 `..' in case of SUBDIRS with `/'.
1681 * tests/auxdir4.test, tests/subdir9.test: New files.
1682 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add auxdir4.test.
1683 * tests/cond2.test, tests/subdir7.test: Augment to check location
1686 2004-05-21 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> (tiny changes)
1688 * tests/txinfo22.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Use aux1, not aux, for
1689 cygwin compatibility.
1690 * tests/yacc6.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Likewise.
1692 * tests/conflnk3.test: Isolate checking for working `test -e' into
1693 a subshell, to skip this test on broken /bin/sh of solaris.
1695 2004-05-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1697 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITIONAL): Double-quote diagnostic.
1698 * tests/condd.test: Define a macro with the same name as a
1700 * tests/pr220.test: Modernize, and make sure the diagnostics
1701 contains the macro name.
1702 Report from Volker Boerchers.
1704 2004-05-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1706 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
1708 2004-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1710 * automake.in (handle_dist): Always define DIST_SUBDIRS, even when
1711 the no-dist or cygnus options are used.
1712 * tests/clean2.test: New file.
1713 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add clean2.test.
1714 Report from Daniel Jacobowitz.
1716 * aclocal.in (add_macro): Do not error out on undefined required
1717 macros. We are not sure they are really used, and Autoconf
1718 already diagnoses them.
1719 (scan_configure_dep): Diagnose missing AM_ macros as warnings rather
1721 * tests/aclocal3.test, tests/ammissing.test: Adjust to expect a
1722 warning instead of an error.
1723 * tests/aclocal8.test: AC_REQUIRE an undefined macro in an unused
1724 macro, and ensure aclocal works anyway.
1725 * tests/acloca17.test: New file.
1726 * tests/error.test: Delete, superseded by tests/acloca17.test.
1727 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca17.test and remove error.test.
1728 Report from Jim Meyering.
1730 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?!GENERIC_INFO?%DEST_INFO_PREFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1731 Fold a few lines to reduce the output by 5 lines.
1732 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1734 * automake.in (parse_arguments, MAIN): Give more precise
1735 diagnostics when no input file is found.
1736 * tests/output5.test: Adjust.
1737 Suggested by Jens Petersen.
1739 2004-05-14 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1741 * lib/am/libs.am (AR, ARFLAGS): Move these definition ...
1742 * automake.in (handle_libraries): ... here, so that they are
1743 output even for EXTRA_LIBRARIES.
1744 * tests/ar2.test: New file.
1745 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1746 Report from Kevin Ryde.
1748 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1752 * tests/werror2.test: New file.
1753 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add werror2.test.
1754 * tests/substtarg.test, tests/cond36.test, tests/backsl4.test:
1755 Adjust to run automake with -Wno-error when the output is expected
1756 in spite of the error.
1757 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1759 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Remove
1760 doubled word in footnote.
1762 * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Also check for a
1763 $(srcdir)/old_source rule when computing the default source name.
1764 Propagate this $(srcdir) prefix in Automake variables.
1765 * tests/ltlibsrc.test (noinst_LTLIBRARIES): Explicitly refer to
1766 $(srcdir)/zoo_d_old2_la.c. This fixes another failure with BSD Make.
1768 2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1770 * Makefile.am (fetch): Work even with FreeBSD "make", which
1771 uses sh -e and thus errors-out if a simple-command fails.
1772 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Likewise.
1773 * lib/am/ltlib.am (clean-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Likewise.
1774 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Likewise.
1776 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1778 * tests/lex3.test, tests/yacc6.test: Require GNU Make.
1779 Fixing these for BSD Make requires invasive changes (lexers and
1780 parsers must be built into $srcdir, and--most annoyingly--all
1781 references to parse.h must be changed to $(srcdir)/parse.h).
1782 Report from Mark D. Baushke.
1784 2004-05-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1786 * tests/defs.in (GNUmake): Grep for GNU to parry FreeBSD make.
1787 Report from Mark D. Baushke.

1800 * tests/warnopts.test: Adjust.
1802 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Turn VAR_ASIS variables into
1803 VAR_PRETTY variables to work around make implementation with
1804 limited line length, such as OSF1/Tru64 make.
1805 * tests/longline.test: New file.
1806 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1807 * tests/pluseq3.test, tests/pluseq8.test: Adjust.
1808 Report from Simon Josefsson.
1810 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Pass `.' to Exuberant Ctags if
1811 --etags-include is used but no other files are supplied, so it
1812 creates the TAGS file anyway.
1813 Report from Akim Demaille.
1815 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Nicolas Joly reported on
1816 2002-06-12 that dependencies were output in $dir.libs/$base.lo.d.
1817 Teun Burgers reported on 2004-03-30 they were in
1818 $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Try both.

1950 the old "test -f" + "rm -f" + "mv" method only if "mv -f" does
1951 not work. This improves performance in the usual case where

2377 %transform settings override global settings.
2378 * lib/am/depend2.am (%OBJ%, %OBJOBJ%): Define only if %NONLIBTOOL%.
2379 * tests/libtool3.test: Augment to check Makefile.ins for unneeded
