3 Avoid local $_ perl variable, for Perl before 5.9.1.
4 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Do not
5 lexically localize $_. Fixes bootstrap on AIX 5.1.
6 Bug introduced in commit `v1.11-622-gf90a06c'.
8 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

12 Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command.
14 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
16 tests: avoid failing command substitution in errexit mode.
17 * tests/vartypo2.test, tests/vartypos.test: Rewrite to not use
18 a command substitution with a nonzero exit status, that causes
19 IRIX and Tru64/OSF sh to fail the whole test.
21 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
24 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
25 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
26 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
27 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
28 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
29 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
32 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

36 2011-01-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
38 tests: hard error in case of internal failures or signal caught
39 * tests/defs: Exit with status 99 (hard error) rather than
40 1 (failure) on unexpected/internal errors, or when a signal
41 is caught by the client script.
43 Tests defs: don't let useless variables leak in test scripts.
44 * tests/defs ($priv_check_temp, $overwrite_status, $ro_dir_temp,
45 $create_status, $r2h, $libtool_found, $gettext_found, $aclocaldir,
46 $extra_includes): Unset once they've served their purpose.
48 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
50 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
51 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
52 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
54 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
56 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
57 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
58 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
59 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
60 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
61 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
63 2011-01-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
65 tests: fix comment typo
66 * tests/substref.test: Fix grammar in a comment.
68 2011-01-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
70 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
71 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
72 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
73 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
75 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
77 2011-01-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
79 Update docs w.r.t. warning and strictness options.
80 * doc/automake.texi (Strictness): Document that some warnings are
81 turned off by default in `foreign' strictness.
82 (Options): Divide into new sections "Options generalities" and
83 "List of Automake options". Fix typo (colon instead of full
84 stop). Document option precedence (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS wins over
85 AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE which wins over command line). Also document
86 interactions between options specifying strictness and those
89 More tests on warnings/strictness precedence.
90 * tests/warning-groups-win-over-strictness.test: New test, similar
91 to `warnings-win-over-strictness.test', but checking the explicit
92 catch-all warning flags (like `-Wall' and `-Wnone').
93 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
95 Update NEWS about the warnings-over-strictness precedence.
96 * NEWS: Automake explicit warning levels always take precedence
97 over the implicit warning levels implied by Automake strictness.
100 Warnings win over strictness in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
101 Ensure that, for what concerns the options specified in
102 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS, explicitly-defined warnings always take
103 precedence over implicit strictness-implied warnings.
104 This finally fixes Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
105 * automake.in (handle_options): Call 'process_option_list'
106 only once per set of options.
107 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (process_global_option_list,
108 process_option_list): Add sanity checks.
109 ($_options_processed, $_global_options_processed): New
110 internal variables, used by the sanity checks above.
111 * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: Extend.
114 Change signature of 'Automake::Options::_process_option_list()'.
115 This only modifies internal details in the automake implementation,
116 bearing no externally visible effect, but preparing the way for the
117 final fix of Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
118 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept as
119 arguments a list of hash references with keys 'option' and 'where',
120 where 'option' is an option as might occur in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or
121 AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and 'where' is the location where it occurred.
122 (process_option_list, process_global_option_list): Updated.
123 * automake.in (handle_options, scan_autoconf_traces): Update.
125 Add more tests about AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
126 In view of soon-to-follow refactorings (still in the pursuit of a
127 fix for Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547), add some more tests on
128 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS support, to prevent obvious regressions.
129 * tests/amopts-variable-expansion.test: New test.
130 * tests/amopts-location.test: Likewise.
131 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
134 Warnings win over strictness in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
135 This change ensures that, for what concerns the options specified
136 in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, explicitly-defined warnings always take
137 precedence over implicit strictness-implied warnings. Related to
138 Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
139 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Parse explicit
140 warnings only after the strictness level has been set. Fix POD
142 * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: Extend.
145 Warnings win over strictness on command line.
146 Ensure that, on the command line at least, explicitly defined
147 warnings always take precedence over implicit strictness-implied
148 warnings. Related to Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
149 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Parse warnings only after the
150 strictness level has been processed.
151 * tests/gnuwarn.test: Update, plus miscellaneous improvements.
152 * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: New test.
153 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

160 New test on silent-rules mode and portability warnings.
161 * tests/silent-nowarn.test: New test.
162 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
164 Add new tests on strictness and warnings precedence and overriding.

180 do not spuriously invoke the nonexistent toplevel am--refresh
183 tests: fix typos in colon6.test
184 * tests/colon6.test: Fix typos.

189 tests: explain MSYS setup failure issue, improve test.
190 * tests/defs: Add comment and failure message, improve fail
193 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
195 Fix libobj2.test failure with non-GNU make: define $(AR).
196 * tests/libobj2.test: Ensure $(AR) is suitably defined.
198 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
200 tests: avoid spurious failures due to fork failure in test setup

202 failures on MinGW/MSYS in case the preceding sed command could
205 Avoid configure warnings from wait about reused PIDs.
206 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Hide wait stderr output.
207 Fixes spurious failure of depcomp2.test.
209 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
211 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
212 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
213 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
214 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
215 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
216 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
217 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.
219 2011-01-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
221 docs: clustered '-d' not recognized in YFLAGS
222 This change fixes automake bug#7828.
223 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Document that automake
224 recognizes '-d' in AM_YFLAGS only if it's not clustered with
226 From a report by Юрий Пухальский.

269 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
271 tests: more consistent checks about invalid options
272 * tests/aclocal.test: Grepping of automake stderr for messages
273 reporting invalid options made stricter.
274 * tests/no-outdir-option.test: Likewise. Also, create a dummy
275 `Makefile.am', to ensure that the automake failures are really
276 caused only by unrecognized options.
277 * tests/automake.test: Added trailing `:' command. Removed
278 redundant checks on `--help' and `--version' option (already
279 performed in the test `help*.test').
281 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
283 tests: enable 'errexit' shell flag by default.
284 * tests/defs: Enable `errexit' shell flag (near the end).
285 Removed redundant comment about the enabling of shell traces.

288 * All tests: Adjusted by removing now-redundant calls to
291 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
293 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
294 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling

312 tests: texinfo unrecognized extensions
313 * tests/txinfo-unrecognized-extension.test: New test.
314 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
316 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
317 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
318 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
319 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
320 uselessly run it in a subshell.
321 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
322 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
323 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
325 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
327 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
328 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
329 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
330 Makefile.in stricter.
331 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
332 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
334 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
335 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
336 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
337 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
338 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
339 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
340 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
341 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
342 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
343 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
344 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
345 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
346 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
347 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
348 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
349 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
350 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
351 so they have been moved ...
352 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
353 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
354 trailing `:' command.
355 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
356 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
357 append to configure.in.
358 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
359 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
360 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
361 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
362 minor cosmetic improvements.
363 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
364 trailing `:' command.
365 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
366 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
367 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
369 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
371 tests: fix spurious failure in 'tests/yflags-conditional.test'
372 * tests/yflags-conditional.test: Filter out message "warnings are
373 treated as errors" from automake stderr, to avoid a false positive
374 when grepping for extraneous warning messages.
376 2011-01-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
378 yacc: warn about conditional content in *YFLAGS variables
379 This change fixes automake bug#7804.
380 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Warn if any of the relevant
381 *YFLAGS variables has conditional contents (not only a conditional
382 definition). Related refactoring.
384 * tests/yflags-conditional.test: Updated and extended.
385 * tests/yflags-conditional-force.test: New test.
386 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
388 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
390 yacc: support variable expansions in *YFLAGS definition.
391 This change fixes automake bug#7800.
392 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use 'value_as_list_recursive'
393 instead of 'variable_value' to get the value of *YFLAGS variables.
395 ($DASH_D_PATTERN): Removed.
396 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove yflags-var-expand.test.
397 * tests/yacc-clean.test: Remove workaround for now-fixed bug.
400 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
402 yacc: more tests on *YFLAGS support
403 * tests/yflags-var-expand.test: New test, still xfailing. It
404 exposes automake bug#7800 -- "automake fails to honor `-d' in
405 AM_YFLAGS when variable expansions are involved".
406 * tests/yflags-d-false-positive.test: New test, checking that
407 automake do not spuriously see `-d' in *YFLAGS when that isn't
409 * tests/yflags-force-override.test: New test, checking that
410 automake can cope with definition of the YFLAGS variable in
411 Makefile.am (even if that is an extremely bad practice, as that
412 variable is user-reserved).
413 * tests/yflags-cmdline-override.test: New test, checking that
414 automake can cope with user-redefinition of YFLAGS at configure
415 time and/or at make time.
416 * tests/yflags-conditional.test: New test, checks that automake
417 warns on conditionally-defined *YFLAGS variables.
418 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Update.
420 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
422 yacc: extend and improve tests
423 * tests/yacc-basic.test: Also check that the intermediate C file
424 is mentioned in the generated Makefile.in, and that it is created
425 by the first make invocation.
426 * tests/yacc3.test: Test removed, superseded by ...
427 * tests/yacc-d-basic.test: ... this new test.
428 * tests/yacc2.test: Add reference to that new test in the heading
430 * tests/yacc-d-vpath.test: New test.
431 * tests/yaccvpath.test: Updated heading comments. Do not require
432 gcc anymore, as any working C compiler should be enough. Remove
434 * tests/yacc-nodist.test: New test.
435 * tests/yacc-dist-nobuild.test: New test.
436 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
438 2010-12-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
440 Extend, fix and improve tests on Lex and Yacc support.
441 * tests/lexcpp.test: New test script, on support for Lex + C++.
442 * tests/lexvpath.test: New test script, test build and rebuild
443 rules for lexers in VPATH setup.
444 * tests/yacc-basic.test: New test script, run simple "semantic"
445 checks on basic Yacc support (similarly to what lex3.test does
447 * tests/lex.test: Don't create useless dummy source file joe.l.
448 Remove extra blank lines.
449 * tests/lex4.test: Add trailing `:' command. Do not create dummy
450 useless lex source file.
451 * tests/lex2.test: Likewise. Call automake with the `-a' option,
452 so that it doesn't fail for the absence of `ylwrap' script. Make
453 grepping of automake stderr stricter.
454 * tests/yacc7.test: Add trailing `:' command. Enable `errexit'
455 shell flag earlier (just after having sourced ./defs).
456 * tests/yacc4.test: Likewise. Also ...
457 (configure.in): Use pre-populated skeleton set up by ./defs,
458 instead of writing one from scratch.
459 Other minor cosmetic changes.
460 * tests/yacc5.test: Likewise.
461 * tests/yaccvpath.test: Likewise. Also ...
462 ($distdir): New variable.
464 * tests/lex5.test: Likewise.
465 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise. Check the distdir, rather than
466 grepping the distribution tarball. Extend the test on the
467 created binary, and be sure to avoid hangs. Add some comments.
468 * tests/yacc.test: Use stricter grepping. Add trailing `:'.
469 * tests/yacc6.test: Likewise.
470 * tests/yacc3.test: Likewise. Do not create the unused file
471 `Makefile.sed'. Remove useless rules from Makefile.am. Other
472 minor cosmetic changes.
473 * tests/yacc2.test: Make grepping of generated `Makefile.in' and
474 of automake error messages stricter. Do not redirect output of
475 grep to /dev/null. Move call to aclocal earlier. Reduce the
476 number of empty blank lines. Fix a typo in comments.
477 * tests/yacc8.test: Fixed bugs that reduced the completeness of
478 the tests. Added trailing `:' command.
479 (configure.in): Use pre-populated skeleton set up by ./defs,
480 instead of writing one from scratch.
481 * tests/yaccpp.test: Test also extensions `.y++', `.ypp', and
482 `.yxx', rather than only `.yy'.
483 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
485 2011-01-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

528 yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
529 Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
530 files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
531 them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
532 simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
533 This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
534 those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
536 This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' and
537 `.h' files generated by non-distributed Yacc sources cleaned by
539 * tests/automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Make C source and
540 header files derived from non-distributed Yacc files cleaned by
541 "make clean", not only by "make maintainer-clean".

623 already create all the needed auxiliary files. Try also *without*
624 the `no-dependencies' automake option.

698 Fix parallel testsuite run with Zsh.
699 This change deals with a Zsh incompatibility in the handling
700 of the special shell variable `$0' in sourced files; this
701 incompatibility used to cause utter breakage when the
702 Automake testsuite was run in parallel mode with Zsh as
703 the $(TEST_LOG_COMPILER).
704 For more information, please refer to the thread "Fix parallel
705 testsuite run with zsh" on automake-patches, dated 2010-12-22:
706 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00135.html>
707 This change works around the problems described above for Zsh 4.3
708 or later, and offers better error messages (instead of random
709 failures) for earlier Zsh version.
710 * tests/README (Supported shells): When describing the manual
711 workaround about the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0',
712 tell that it is now needed only with Zsh versions preceding 4.3.
713 Done also some minor rewordings.
714 * tests/defs-static.in ($argv0): New variable, offers a workaround
715 for the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0'.
716 Abort if that variable cannot be correctly set (can happen only
717 in older Zsh version).
718 * tests/defs ($me): Define using `$argv0', not `$0'.
720 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
722 Tests defs: keep track of original $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL values.
723 This is especially useful for tests which might want to run
724 automake and aclocal without additional flags and warnings.

726 ($original_AUTOMAKE): Likewise.

735 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
736 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
737 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
738 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
739 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
740 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
741 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

783 Make test 'posixsubst-script' portable to MinGW/MSYS.

1000 Extend tests on AC_LIBOBJ and friends.
1001 * tests/aclibobj.test: Removed, superseded by ...
1002 * tests/libobj-basic.test: ... this new test, which runs autoconf,
1003 ./configure and make, to ensure everything really works.
1004 * tests/libobj3.test: Add trailing `:' command. Escape literal
1006 * tests/libobj4.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1007 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Use proper m4 quoting.

1013 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Use the configure.in
1014 stub provided by ./defs, rather than writing it from scratch.
1015 * tests/libobj2.test: Likewise. Also, add calls to autoconf,
1016 ./configure and make, to ensure everything really works.
1017 * tests/libobj7.test: Likewise, and ensure that at least one
1018 function listed in AC_REPLACE_FUNCTIONS is truly replaced.
1019 * tests/libobj13.test: Make grepping of Automake stderr slightly
1020 stricter. Add trailing `:' command.
1021 * tests/libobj12.test: Likewise. Also, prefer "cat + here-doc"

1025 Slighty improve m4 quoting. Add trailing `:' command.
1026 * tests/libobj10.test: Add calls to autoconf, ./configure and
1027 make, to ensure everything really works. Also, remove tests that
1028 nonexistent source for AC_LIBOBJ cause an Automake failure: this
1029 is already checked by ...
1030 * tests/libobj15a.test: ... this new test.
1031 * tests/libobj15b.test: New test, sister test of libobj15a.test,
1032 checks AC_LIBSOURCE instead of AC_LIBOBJ.
1033 * tests/libobj15c.test: New test, sister test of libobj15a.test,
1034 checks AC_LIBSOURCES instead of AC_LIBOBJ.

1061 2010-12-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1063 Make tests `colon*.test' more "semantic".
1064 Prefer running configure and make over grepping the generated

1085 grepping of make output. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append
1086 to configure.in. Quote literal dots in grep regexps. Prefer
1087 `grep -c ...' over `grep ... | wc -l'. Make grepping of
1088 automake stderr slightly stricter. Add trailing `:' command.

1090 configure.in. Check stderr of expected-to-fail "make" call.
1091 Remove extra blank lines from Makefile.am.
1092 * tests/dejagnu4.test: Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append to
1093 configure.in. Prefer `mv -f' over plain `mv' when the target
1094 file already exists. Avoid extra mkdir calls by creating more
1095 directories at once. Better use of blank lines. Check that
1096 the `*.log' and `*.sum' files are created by runtest also when
1098 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append to
1099 configure.in. Better use of blank lines. Add a trailing `:'
1101 * tests/dejagnu6.test: Likewise, and give the dejagnu test a
1102 more descriptive name.
1103 * tests/dejagnu5.test: Likewise. Also, simply define package
1104 name to `$me' rather than using a non-obvious sed script to
1105 extract it from `AC_INIT', and write the Makefile.am with only
1107 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1109 2010-12-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1111 Avoid running installed automake from 'libtool --help'.

1113 Together with fixed Libtool, this fixes check-coverage to not
1114 invoke installed automake.

1168 * tests/sinclude.test: Likewise, and add a couple of blank lines,
1170 * tests/make.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier in
1171 the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use the configure.in
1172 stub created by ./defs, rather than writing it from scratch. Some
1173 cosmetic changes in spacing. Ensure we wait enough time before
1174 touching configure.in to trigger the rebuild rules.
1175 * tests/makej.test: Use `$me' instead of hard-coding the test
1176 name. Add trailing `:' command.

1238 Improve and extend tests on `:=' variable assignments.
1239 * tests/colneq.test: Avoid redundant use of variable assignments
1240 in Makefile.am. Use command-line automake options instead of
1241 editing AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS in Makefile.am. Make grepping of the
1242 generated Makefile.in slightly stricter. Add a trailing `:'
1244 * tests/colneq2.test: Do not create unneeded dummy files. Run
1245 also autoconf, ./configure and make. Add trailing `:' command.

1254 "Release-1-6-1b-35-gc037f20", dated 2002-07-06.
1255 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Do not recognize anymore options
1256 `--Werror' and `--Wno-error' as synonyms of respectively `-Werror'

1261 2010-11-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1263 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
1264 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
1265 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
1266 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
1267 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
1268 tests that force gcc depmode.
1269 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
1270 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
1271 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
1272 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

1276 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

1348 compiler/flag environment variables.
1350 2010-11-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1352 release-stats: account for more generated tests.
1353 * Makefile.am (release-stats): Be sure to take into account all
1354 the generated tests, by grepping the test scripts to decide which
1355 ones of them are automatically generated.
1357 2010-11-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1359 Code cleanup after removal of option `--output-directory'.
1360 * automake.in ($output_directory): Remove, it's unconditionally
1361 defined to `.' and used only ...
1362 (generate_makefile): ... in this subroutine, which now has been
1363 edited and simplified accordingly.
1365 Remove obsolete automake option `--output-directory'.
1366 This option has been deprecated since version 1.7 (2002/2003).
1367 * automake.in ($output_directory): Define to `.' unconditionally.
1368 (parse_arguments): Remove handling of equivalent options `-o' and
1369 `--output-directory'.

1380 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
1381 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
1382 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
1383 supposed to perform.
1385 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
1386 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
1387 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both
1390 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1392 New test on repeated automake options.

1395 incorrect makefiles.
1396 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1398 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1400 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
1401 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose

1416 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
1417 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
1418 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
1419 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
1420 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
1421 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
1422 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
1423 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
1426 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1428 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
1429 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
1430 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
1431 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
1432 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
1433 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
1434 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
1435 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
1437 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1439 backcompat5.test: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
1440 * tests/backcompat5.test: Remove double-hash comments
1441 from makefile rule commands, they are not part of the
1442 Automake API. Fixes testsuite failure with Tru64 make.
1444 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
1445 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
1446 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
1447 are not part of the Automake API.
1449 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1451 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
1452 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
1453 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
1455 2010-11-16 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1457 Skip MSVC oriented tests if the shell is not capable.
1458 * tests/defs: New required entry 'xsi-shell'.
1459 * tests/ar-lib.test, tests/compile3.test, tests/compile6.test:
1460 Require a XSI capable shell.

1465 compile: clear the `eat' variable earlier.
1466 * lib/compile: Clear the `eat' variable earlier.
1467 ($scriptversion): Update.
1468 * tests/compile3.test: Prevent regressions.
1470 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1472 More stable configure output from sanity check.
1473 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Always print check line
1474 about ensuring newer files, even if we don't actually need
1477 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1479 Rebuild menus in the manual.
1480 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
1481 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
1483 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
1484 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
1485 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
1486 to fix quoting issues.
1487 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
1488 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
1490 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1492 Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.
1493 * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
1494 Found by NixOS Hydra.
1496 2010-11-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1498 Fix bug in test `backcompat6.test' (MSYS portability).
1499 * tests/backcompat6.test (Makefile.am): Grep the output from the
1500 test program, rather than diffing it, to avoid spurious failures
1501 on MinGW/MSYS due to LF vs. CRLF line endings.
1502 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
1504 2010-11-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1506 Deprecate obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX.
1507 * m4/regex.m4: Document the `AM_WITH_REGEX' macro as obsolete,
1508 and state that it should be removed two years from now.
1509 (AM_WITH_REGEX): Raise an m4-time warning of the "obsolete"
1510 category when this macro is used.
1511 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Move description of
1512 `AM_WITH_REGEX' from here ...
1513 (Obsolete Macros): ... to here, and declare it as obsolete
1514 and "to be removed in a future version".
1515 * tests/regex-obsolete.test: New test.
1516 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1518 2010-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1520 Improve and extend tests on man pages support.
1521 * tests/man.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related changes.
1522 Make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1523 * tests/man3.test: Add trailing `:' command.
1524 * tests/man5.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to append to
1526 * tests/man2.test: Likewise, and add trailing `:' command.
1527 * tests/man4.test: More thorough and consistent checking of make
1528 error messages. Place fake `help2man' program in a new `bin'
1529 directory rather than in `.'. Move the checks using the real
1530 `help2man' program to ...
1531 * tests/man6.test: ... this new test, and extend them. This test
1532 passes with GNU make and Solaris make, still fails with BSD make.
1533 * tests/man7.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which
1534 checks for a bug in maintainer-clean w.r.t. generated manpages.
1535 * tests/man8.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which
1536 checks for a bug in distcheck w.r.t. generated manpages. Passes
1537 with GNU make and Solaris make, still fails with BSD make.
1539 2010-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1541 Minor improvements and extensions to various tests.
1542 * tests/defun.test: Also run autoconf and grep the generated
1543 configure to make sure that aclocal truly picks up all the
1545 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing
1546 `Exit 0'. Do not create useless dummy source files. Do not set
1547 useless `$(foo_LDADD)' variable in `Makefile.am'. Do not call
1548 useless macro `AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS' in `configure.in'.
1549 * tests/compile_f90_c_cxx.test: Likewise.
1550 * tests/suffix10.test: Slightly stricter grepping of make output.
1551 * tests/compile.test: Add trailing `:' command.
1552 * tests/defun2.test: Likewise.
1553 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1554 * tests/vartar.test: Likewise.
1555 * tests/vars.test: Likewise. Also, extend test by checking
1556 that the definition of `MY_FLAGS*' variables is preserved in
1557 the generated `Makefile.in'.
1558 * tests/stamph2.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
1559 Use proper m4 quoting in `configure.in'.
1561 2010-11-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1563 Tests defs: improve messages for skipped tests.
1564 * tests/defs: Give meaningful messages about the reasons of a
1565 test skip; this is especially useful as this file is run without
1566 verbose xtraces on. Related reorderings in the code and new
1569 2010-11-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1571 Tests defs: move static definitions in a new file `defs-static'.
1572 The new file is meant to be idempotent w.r.t. multiple inclusions.
1573 * tests/defs.in: Removed, its contents split among ...
1574 * tests/defs-static.in: ... this new file ...
1575 * tests/defs: ... and this new file, including the former.
1576 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove `tests/defs', add
1577 `tests/defs-static'.
1578 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Add `tests/defs'.
1579 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update.
1580 ($(instspc_tests)): Likewise.
1581 * tests/.gitignore: Update.
1583 Tests defs: $testsbuilddir is now AC_SUBST'ed.
1584 * tests/defs.in ($testsbuilddir): Substitute from @abs_builddir@.
1585 Add sanity check on $testsbuilddir, similar to those on
1586 $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
1588 Tests defs: do not print message "Running test $0" anymore.
1589 * tests/defs.in: Printing the message "=== Running test $0" at
1590 the beginning of each tests made sense when Automake used the old
1591 test-driver, which sent all the output directly to stdout/stderr.
1592 Now that the parallel test-driver is used, which saves output of
1593 each test in its corresponding log file, that old message is just
1596 Tests defs: rename $curdir -> $testbuilddir
1597 * tests/defs.in: Rename $curdir to $testbuildir, for clarity and
1598 consistency with $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
1600 Tests defs: prefer "$curdir" over "`pwd`".
1601 * tests/defs.in: We already save the value of `pwd` in $curdir
1602 early in the file, so there no need to recalculate it later, when
1603 the current working directory is not changed.
1605 Tests defs: use `$me' in more error messages.
1606 * tests/defs.in: Also use `$me' in error messages referring to
1607 missing `defs' or `defs.in', since that variable is now defined
1608 before those checks.
1610 Tests defs: do not use `Exit' where plain `exit' suffices.
1611 * tests/defs.in: Use "exit 77" rather than "Exit 77" to skip the
1612 test when required libtool/gettext macros are not found, since
1613 such skips would take place before the exit trap is installed.
1615 Tests defs: improve and extends comments.
1616 * tests/defs.in: Improve and extends some comments, especially in
1617 relation with the changes introduced by the previous reordering.
1619 Tests defs: various reorderings.
1620 * tests/defs.in: Reordered various snippets of code in a

1625 Fix bug in test `backcompat4.test' (stale autom4te cache).
1626 * tests/backcompat4.test: Remove stale autom4te cache directory
1627 before re-running aclocal and automake. Also, since we are at
1628 it, be more verbose in displaying contents of generated files,
1629 to ease debuggability.
1630 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
1632 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1634 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
1635 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
1636 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
1637 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
1638 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
1639 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
1640 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
1641 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
1642 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1643 Reported by Andy Wingo.
1645 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1647 Modernize, improve and/or tweak various test scripts.
1648 * tests/stamph2.test: Improve m4 quoting in `configure.in', and
1649 prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
1650 * tests/syntax.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps.
1651 * tests/copy.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Extend test by
1652 checking with `test' utility that the script `install-sh' is
1653 copied, but not symlinked.
1654 * tests/depdist.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1655 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Avoid obsoleted
1656 constructs in generated `configure.in'. Prefer to do our checks
1657 by running configure and make over grepping Makefile.in.
1658 * tests/target-cflags: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag
1659 earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use the
1660 `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than writing it
1662 * tests/target-clash: Do not uselessly run autoconf.
1663 * tests/ctarget1.test: Renamed ...
1664 * tests/cond-basic.test: ... to this. Use the `configure.in' stub
1665 created by `./defs', rather than writing it from scratch.
1666 Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just
1667 after inclusion of ./defs). Other minor cosmetic changes.
1668 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1670 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1672 New tests on obsoleted usages of automake/autoconf macros (such
1673 as AC_INIT, AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and AC_OUTPUT).
1674 * tests/backcompat.test: New test script.
1675 * tests/backcompat2.test: Likewise.
1676 * tests/backcompat3.test: Likewise.
1677 * tests/backcompat4.test: Likewise.
1678 * tests/backcompat5.test: Likewise.
1679 * tests/backcompat6.test: Likewise.

1681 combinations of calls to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE with few
1683 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1685 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1687 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
1688 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
1689 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
1690 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
1691 of test `vala2.test'.
1693 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1695 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
1696 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
1697 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
1699 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
1700 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
1701 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
1702 and header remaking.
1703 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
1704 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
1705 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
1706 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
1707 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
1709 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1711 2010-11-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1713 Fix potential bug in generated tests `instpc-*.test'.
1714 This bug is due to the changes introduced by the recently-merged
1715 "tests-init" branch. In that branch, `tests/defs' didn't define
1716 anymore `$srcdir', instead defining directly `$testsrcdir'; but
1717 the generated tests were using `$srcdir', hence the bug.
1718 Luckily, since the Automake parallel test driver automatically
1719 exports `srcdir' to a proper value, that prevented the bug from
1721 * tests/Makefile.am ($(instspc_tests)): In the generated test
1722 scripts, use `$testsrcdir', not `$srcdir'.
1724 2010-11-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1726 Overhauled and modularized tests in `instspc.test'.
1727 The test `instspc.test' was way too big and fragile. Its running
1728 time was very long. It also produced a log that was nearly
1729 unreadable due to its length, making it very difficult to find
1730 out the reason for failures.
1731 Also, it was too much monolithic, with a single (maybe spurious)
1732 failure in a corner case causing the whole test to fail (even if
1733 everything worked as expected in the other 99% of cases).
1734 The present change should solve these problems, by separating
1735 `instspc.test' into many smaller, self-contained, auto-generated
1737 * tests/instspc.test: Removed.
1738 * tests/instspc-tests.sh: New script, fulfilling a double role:
1739 1. it generates a Makefile.am snippet `tests/instspc-tests.am',
1740 containing the definition of a list of new tests which will take
1741 over the older `instspc.test', and
1742 2. it is sourced by said generated tests with proper parameters
1743 pre-set, to run the "meat" of the checks.
1744 This apparent abuse is indeed required because the test generation
1745 code and test execution code are inevitably intertwined.
1746 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/instspc-tests.am): Include this
1747 snippet, which (among the other things) defines ...
1748 (instspc_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list of the
1749 newly generated `instspc*.test' tests, and ...
1750 (instspc_xfail_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list
1751 of the `instspc*.test' tests expected to fail.
1752 ($(instspc_tests)): New rule, generates the `instspc*.test' tests.
1753 ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): New rule, registers the dependency
1754 of all `instspc*.test' tests on the `instspc-tests.sh' script.
1755 (TESTS): Add `$(instspc_tests)', remove `instspc.test'.
1756 (XFAIL_TESTS): Add `$(xfail_instspc_tests)'.
1757 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute instspc-tests.sh.
1758 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Added $(instspc_tests).
1759 Other minor cosmetic changes.
1760 * bootstrap: Generate instspc-tests.am.
1761 * tests/.gitignore: Updated.
1763 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1765 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
1766 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
1767 (Introduction): Refer to it.
1769 2010-10-07 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1771 depcomp: add new one-pass depmode for MSVC 7 and later.
1772 * lib/depcomp: Add new depmodes 'msvc7' and 'msvc7msys' which
1773 make use of the -showIncludes option added in MSVC 7.
1774 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Handle the new depmodes
1775 similarly to 'msvisualcpp' and 'msvcmsys' as MSVC does not
1776 support the -o option.
1778 2010-10-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1780 dist-xz, dist-bzip2: don't hard-code -9: honor envvar settings
1781 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that
1782 made it impossible to override. Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar,
1783 defaulting to -9 if not defined. Thus no change in behavior
1784 when XZ_OPT is not set, and now, this rule honors the setting
1785 of that envvar when it is set. Suggested by Lasse Collin.
1786 (dist-bzip2): Likewise for it's corresponding envvar: BZIP2.
1787 * NEWS (Miscellaneous changes): Mention it.
1788 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Describe the
1789 newly enabled environment variables.

1793 Add support for newer python versions.
1794 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
1795 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
1796 line and fix indentation.
1798 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
1800 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.

1806 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
1807 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
1808 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."

1816 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
1817 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
1818 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
1819 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.

1835 (sc_tests_makefile_variable_order): New rule with a heuristic to
1836 catch ordering violations.
1838 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
1839 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
1840 are expanded before rules.
1841 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
1842 get matched as a rule.
1843 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
1845 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1847 Coverage and minor fixes for variable typo detection.

1871 Insert strategic sleep before aclocal reruns, to ensure files
1873 * tests/python11.test: Use --force for repeated autotools runs.
1874 Reports from the NixOS Hydra build daemon via Ludovic Courtès.
1876 Fix timestamp issues by ensuring configure takes at least a second.
1877 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): If we didn't sleep here,
1878 start a sleep in the background and wait for it to finish
1879 before creating config.status, hopefully fixing all spurious
1880 testsuite failures involving botched time stamps.

1896 * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Pass
1897 sanitized TEST_LOGS value as makefile snippet on standard
1898 input to $(MAKE), to avoid exceeding the command line limit on

1905 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
1906 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
1907 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
1908 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
1909 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
1910 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
1911 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1912 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
1913 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1914 `--version' take precedence on the other options.

1974 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
1975 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
1976 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
1977 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or

1994 compile: implement library search to support MSVC static linking
1995 * lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): Implement library search and
1996 -static option so that the user can select whether to prefer
1997 dll import libraries or static libraries. This enables MSVC to
1998 link against dlls generated by libtool without requiring libtool
1999 or workarounds such as -lfoo.dll etc. Makes the tests/static.at
2000 test case in libtool pass.

2053 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
2054 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
2055 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
2056 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
2058 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
2059 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
2061 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2063 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
2064 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
2065 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in

2153 Tests defs: make spacing more consistent.
2154 * tests/defs.in: Make spacing more consistent in indentation.

2233 Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
2235 2010-08-16 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
2237 Support more C++ file extensions for MSVC in the compile script.
2238 * lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): MSVC only recognizes the .cpp
2239 file extension as C++, unless it's given a hint. So hint about

2302 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
2303 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
2304 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

2306 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.
2307 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise. Also, avoid obsolescent constructs in

2315 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
2316 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
2317 and add a "FIXME" comment.
2318 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
2319 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
2320 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated

2326 * tests/pr307.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
2327 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Escape literal

2348 Tweak, extend and improve tests `cond[a-z]*.test'.
2349 * tests/condd.test: Add trailing `:' command. Typofix in
2351 * tests/condhook.test: Make sure target `install-data-hook' is
2352 not called by `make install', but that data files are installed.
2353 Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in. Add trailing `:' command.
2354 * tests/condhook2.test: New test, sister test of condhook, with
2356 * tests/condinc2.test: Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in.

2372 related changes. Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by

2375 changes. Improve the generated `configure.in' file. Add
2376 trailing `:' command.

2404 * tests/confvar2.test: Likewise.
2405 * tests/conflnk3.test: Cosmetic changes. Re-enable a temporarily
2406 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
2407 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
2408 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
2409 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
2410 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
2411 Add some comments explaining why we don't use the `configure.in'
2412 stub preset be ./defs.
2413 * tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
2414 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.
2415 Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related changes. Prefer diff over
2416 cmp to compare text files. Prefer perl over sed to fetch the value
2417 of $(DIST_COMMON) from Makefile.in. Make grepping of the contents
2418 of $(DIST_COMMON) stricter.

2424 * tests/configure.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in generated
2425 `configure.ac'. Do not write `configure.in' two times. Escape
2426 literal dots in grep regular expressions.
2427 * tests/confincl.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
2428 changes. Prefer fgrep over grep. Other cosmetic changes.
2429 * tests/config.test: Renamed to ...

2440 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
2441 Add a trailing `:' command.
2442 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
2443 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
2444 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
2445 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
2446 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
2447 trailing `:' command.
2448 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in
2449 grep regexps. Always use `: >' rather than `touch' to create empty
2450 files. Explicitly declare phony targets as such in the created
2451 Makefile.am. Add a trailing `:' command.
2452 * tests/depcomp4.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in
2453 grep regexp. Explicitly declare phony targets as such in the

2462 configure.in. Cosmetic fixes to spacing. Make the "dummy" `if'
2463 statement required by OpenBSD's sh `set -e' more robust, and add
2464 explanatory comments to it.
2465 * tests/depcomp7.test: Likewise, and add a trailing `:' command.
2467 Separate failing part of test `all.test'.
2468 * tests/all.test: Keep only (x)failing part of the test. Working

2490 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.
2491 * tests/subobj6.test: Add trailing `:' command. Move setting of
2492 `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion
2493 of ./defs). Do not create useless dummy ac-init file `f'.
2494 * tests/subobj7.test: Do not create useless dummy ac-init file
2496 (configure.in): Use the stub created by `./defs', rather than
2497 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.
2498 * tests/subobj9.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
2499 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
2500 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
2501 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
2502 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
2503 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
2504 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.
2505 * tests/subobj10.test: Removed duplicated call to `set -e'. Add
2506 trailing `:' command.

2521 `eval' builtin. Fixed a botched error message. Removed an
2524 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
2525 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
2526 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
2528 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
2529 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.
2530 ($AUTOM4TE): Likewise, for clarity.
2531 Use "$AUTOCONF" instead of calling "autoconf" directly.

2559 Fix maintainer-check failure.
2560 * tests/cond5.test: Quote sleep argument, this isn't about
2561 time stamp differences.
2563 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
2564 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
2567 2010-08-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

2580 2010-08-01 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
2582 Wrap some MSVC options in the compile script.
2583 * lib/compile: MSVC supports naming the output file, the option
2584 is just not called -o, so transform -o into the appropriate form
2585 for MSVC. Also wrap some other options while at it (-L, -l, -Wl,
2586 -Xlinker and -I) and convert file names to windows form where
2587 needed for those options to make MSVC more usable in an
2588 autotooled environment.
2589 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Document the above
2590 extension of the compile script.

2619 Prompted by suggestion from Stefano Lattarini.
2621 Fix AM_COND_IF for gone-invalid condition shell expression.
2622 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): test contents of $COND_TRUE
2623 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
2625 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
2628 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
2629 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty
2630 to avoid shell syntax error if the m4 expansion is empty.
2631 * tests/cond40.test: Enhance test.
2633 Coverage: bogus option to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
2634 * tests/init2.test: New test.
2635 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2637 2010-07-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2639 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
2640 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
2641 changes. Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs',
2642 rather than writing one from scratch.
2643 * tests/subdir2.test: Likewise.
2644 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
2645 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
2646 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
2647 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
2648 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
2649 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
2650 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
2651 `subdir5.test' here).
2652 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
2653 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add
2654 trailing `:' command.
2655 * tests/subdir10.test: Cosmetic consistency-related change.
2656 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
2657 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
2658 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
2659 autoconf/automake macros.
2661 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
2662 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
2663 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
2664 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
2665 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
2666 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
2667 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a
2668 trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister
2670 * tests/distcom6.test: Likewise, and avoid to uselessly run
2672 * tests/distcom3.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured stdout
2673 and stderr. Make grepping of captured stderr stricter. Also,
2674 add trailing `:' command.

2676 Makefile.am as `.PHONY'. Display content of more files, to ease
2677 debugging. Add trailing `:' command.

2681 test Makefile.am files. Add a trailing `:' command.
2682 * tests/distname.test: Prefer `gzip -d' over `gunzip'. Move the
2683 call to `set -e' earlier. Be stricter and more verbose in the
2684 checking of the generated tarball.
2685 (configure.in): Use the stub provided by ./defs, instead of
2686 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
2687 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
2688 * tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
2689 * tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
2691 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2693 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
2694 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
2695 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
2696 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
2697 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
2698 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
2699 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
2701 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
2702 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
2703 writing one from scratch.
2705 2010-06-26 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2715 home page and GNU general help page.
2716 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.
2717 * doc/automake.texi: New flag PACKAGE_BUGREPORT, to factor email
2719 (Introduction, Creating amhello, amhello Explained, Options):
2721 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute
2723 * lib/Automake/Config.in ($PACKAGE_BUGREPORT): New global.

2733 Fix typo-related bug in test script silent5.test.
2734 * tests/silent5.test: Use $EGREP, not $GREP (which is not even
2737 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
2738 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
2739 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
2740 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
2741 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
2742 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
2743 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use
2744 of `foreign' option in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.

2755 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2757 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
2758 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
2759 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
2761 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2763 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
2764 `make dist' to fail.
2765 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: New test.
2766 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
2768 2010-06-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2771 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Mention AM_YFLAGS, YFLAGS
2772 and AM_LFLAGS, LFLAGS in the order in which they now appear in
2775 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
2776 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
2777 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
2778 declaration, to please compilers.
2780 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2782 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
2783 $(FLAGS) precedence.
2784 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
2785 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
2786 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
2787 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2790 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
2791 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
2792 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
2793 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
2795 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
2796 * tests/yflags.test: New test, check that user $(YFLAGS) takes
2797 precedence over automake (AM_YFLAGS) and (foo_YFLAGS). Still

2812 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
2813 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
2814 changes. Also, do not redirect grep output to /dev/null, as this
2815 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
2816 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
2817 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
2818 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
2819 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
2820 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
2821 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
2822 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the

2824 $FGREP rather than plain grep.
2825 * tests/suffix11.test: Likewise.
2826 * tests/suffix12.test: Likewise.
2827 * tests/suffix9.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to append to

2835 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
2837 2010-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2839 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
2840 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
2841 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
2843 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
2844 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the
2845 definition of this variable.
2847 Parallel tests generation: improve comments (tiny change).
2848 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Added useful comment to
2851 Tests defs: truly get rid of `$am_defs_included' (unused variable)
2852 * tests/defs.in ($am_defs_included): Remove, its now unused. It
2853 should have been removed in a previous changeset, but the removal
2854 was done only partially (oversight).
2856 2010-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2858 Remove a couple of unneeded conditionals from tests.
2859 * tests/pr243.test, tests/pr266.test, tests/strip.test: No need
2860 for the FOOTEST conditional.
2862 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

2865 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
2867 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
2868 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
2869 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
2870 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
2871 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
2872 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
2873 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
2874 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
2875 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
2876 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
2877 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
2878 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
2879 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
2881 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
2882 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
2883 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
2884 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
2885 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
2886 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
2887 * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
2888 make's output, and make its grepping slightly stricter.

2897 * tests/pluseq5.test: Append to configure.in using cat with an
2898 here-doc, not using echo.
2899 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
2900 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
2901 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
2902 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
2904 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
2905 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

2938 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
2939 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
2941 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
2942 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
2944 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.

2964 * tests/ansi.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
2965 changes. Extended, esp. by running autoconf, ./configure and
2966 make, and by looking into the distdir.
2968 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2969 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2971 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
2972 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
2973 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
2974 test scripts can indeed be useful.
2976 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2978 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
2979 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
2982 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.

2984 improvement to comments.
2985 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
2986 Prepend it to all error messages.
2988 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
2989 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
2990 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
2991 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
2992 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
2993 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
2995 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2997 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
2998 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
2999 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
3000 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
3001 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
3002 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
3003 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
3004 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
3005 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
3006 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
3007 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.

3021 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
3022 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
3023 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
3024 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
3025 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
3026 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
3027 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
3028 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
3029 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
3031 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
3032 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

3038 Fix error in generation of parallel tests.
3039 * tests/defs.in ($am_skip_defs): New variable, to be used when
3040 ./defs must be sourced multiple times. If set, unset it and
3041 only define $srcdir; otherwise, also go through the rest of
3043 ($am_defs_included): Remove, no more needed.
3044 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update accordingly,
3045 using only $srcdir from defs.
3046 Fixes potential test failures of tests that use $required.
3048 2010-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

3072 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3074 Improve declaration of dependencies in the testsuite.
3075 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Remove. Instead, let ...
3076 ($(TEST_LOGS)): ... all test logs depend on the scripts.
3077 * test/gen-parallel-tests: For each parallel test foo-p.test,
3078 let `foo-p.log' also depend on `foo.test', since it is sourced.
3080 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

3102 the verbose log contains all output.
3103 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
3104 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
3106 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

3118 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3120 Fix distcheck failure with distributed generated parallel tests.
3121 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Cope with $(srcdir)
3122 being different from the value at developer `make dist' time.
3123 * tests/defs.in: Protect against mutiple inclusion, by using ...
3124 ($am_defs_included): ... this new variable.
3125 ($srcdir): Do not compute, but simply define to `@abs_srcdir@'
3126 as substituted by configure.
3127 Report, suggestions and first fix by Ralf Wildenhues, final
3128 patch by Stefano Lattarini.

3144 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
3145 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
3146 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
3147 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
3148 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
3149 known extension EXT.

3239 command is always displayed.
3241 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.

3251 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
3252 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
3253 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
3255 Improved test silent5.test.
3256 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
3257 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
3258 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
3259 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
3260 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
3261 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
3263 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
3264 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
3265 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.

3292 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
3293 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
3294 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
3295 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
3296 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
3298 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3300 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
3301 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather

3305 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
3307 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3309 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
3310 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
3311 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
3312 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
3313 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
3314 eliminate such inconsistencies.
3315 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
3318 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

3330 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
3332 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
3333 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
3334 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
3337 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3339 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
3340 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
3341 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
3343 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
3344 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
3345 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
3347 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
3348 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
3349 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
3350 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
3351 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
3353 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3355 Warning and error message formatting cleanups.
3356 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments, main): Remove trailing period or
3357 newline in error or warning messages, avoid capitalization of
3358 the first word of a message.
3359 * automake.in (check_user_variables, handle_languages)
3360 (handle_ltlibraries, scan_aclocal_m4, scan_autoconf_config_files)
3361 (scan_autoconf_files, cond_stack_if, require_file_internal)

3390 ($me): Remove now-unused package-global.
3391 * aclocal.in (check_acinclude): Remove duplicate 'warning: '
3395 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
3396 missing closing parenthesis.
3398 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.

3402 2010-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3404 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
3405 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
3408 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3410 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
3411 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
3412 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
3413 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
3416 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3418 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
3419 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
3420 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
3421 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
3422 Also, bumped the copyright years.
3424 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
3425 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
3426 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
3428 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
3429 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
3430 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
3431 Also, bumped copyright years.
3433 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3435 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
3436 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
3437 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
3439 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
3440 * tests/configure.test: New test.
3441 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
3442 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
3444 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3446 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
3447 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
3448 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
3449 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
3450 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
3451 cause the whole test to fail.
3453 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3455 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
3456 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
3457 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
3459 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3461 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
3462 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
3463 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
3464 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
3466 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3468 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
3469 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
3471 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
3472 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
3475 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3477 Print 'warnings are treated as errors' note if needed.
3478 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fix typo in comment.
3479 (_print_message): If -Werror is enabled, print a 'warnings are
3480 treated as errors' note before the first such warning.
3481 * tests/warnopts.test: Adjust comment to mention expected warning.
3482 Adjust code to ignore 'warnings are treated as errors' note.
3483 * tests/location.test: Adjust expected output with -Werror.
3484 * tests/werror4.test: New test.
3485 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
3488 Ensure we don't print 'warning:' or 'error:' twice.
3489 * Makefile.am (sc_ensure_testsuite_has_run): New helper rule.
3490 (sc_tests_logs_duplicate_prefixes): New rule, to check for
3491 wrong-looking warning and error messages in the test suite logs.
3492 * aclocal.in (scan_configure_dep, scan_file): Remove duplicate
3494 * tests/vars3.test: Rename variable to avoid false positive.
3496 Prepend type to warning, error, and fatal messages.
3497 For the first part of messages of types `error' or `fatal',
3498 prepend `error: ' to the message. Prepend `warning: ' to
3499 warning messages, whatever the setting of -Werror.
3500 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (partial): Move up definition.
3501 (_format_message): Emit `header' and `footer' strings only with
3502 the first resp. last part of a set of partial messages.
3503 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Add missing '1;' statement at the
3505 (Automake::ChannelDefs): Setup warning channels with header
3506 `warning: ', error and fatal messages with header `error: '.
3507 * tests/condinc2.test, tests/ltinstloc.test: Adjust expected
3509 * tests/comment5.test: Likewise. Also, include stack notes
3510 should not start with `error:'.
3511 * tests/location.test: Likewise. Also, try both -Werror and
3514 Report by Bruno Haible.
3516 Fix capitalization of error messages, reword one message.
3517 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Do not capitalize the first
3518 word in the error message.
3519 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Likewise. Also, reword
3520 and line-wrap for better readability.
3521 * tests/distcom7.test, tests/pluseq5.test, tests/pluseq9.test:
3524 Fix connected warnings about obsolete exeext override.
3525 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (define): Merge two warnings that belong
3526 together, by setting the 'partial' flag for the first one.
3528 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
3529 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
3530 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
3531 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
3532 and unstable exit status values.
3533 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
3534 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
3535 $warnings_are_errors.
3536 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
3537 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
3540 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3542 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
3543 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
3544 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
3545 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
3547 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
3548 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
3549 succeds unexpectedly.
3551 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
3552 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
3553 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
3554 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
3556 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3558 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
3559 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
3560 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
3561 Report by Pavel Sanda.
3563 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3565 Avoid possible false negatives in cond46.test.
3566 * tests/cond46.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag (and bumped
3567 copyright years). Due to this change, the testcase should now
3568 fail on unexpected failures in calls to $ACLOCAL/$AUTOMAKE (whose
3569 outcomes were previously unchecked), and on failures in grepping
3570 the expected diagnostic in Automake stderr.
3572 2010-04-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3574 Generated tests are now just a thin layer around other tests.
3575 * tests/Makefile.am: Rewrite the rule to generate the `*-p.test'
3576 test scripts so that any of them simply includes the corresponding
3577 `*.test' script (after setting `$parallel_tests' to `yes').
3578 * tests/.gitignore: Add wildcard for temporary files used in the
3579 generation of `*-p.test' tests.
3581 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3583 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
3584 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
3585 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
3588 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
3589 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
3590 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
3591 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
3594 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3596 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
3597 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
3598 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
3599 Suggested by Karl Berry.
3601 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
3603 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
3604 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
3607 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3609 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
3610 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
3611 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
3612 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
3613 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
3615 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3616 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3618 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
3619 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
3620 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
3621 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
3622 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
3623 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
3624 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
3625 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
3627 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
3629 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
3630 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
3631 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
3632 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
3633 * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise.

3643 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
3645 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3647 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
3648 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
3649 already unset in the `defs' file.
3650 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
3651 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.
3652 * tests/check9.test: Likewise.
3653 * tests/check10.test: Likewise.

3744 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
3745 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
3746 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
3747 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
3749 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
3750 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
3751 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
3752 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
3753 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
3754 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
3755 dependencies are enabled.
3756 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
3757 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
3758 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable

3773 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
3774 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls
3775 to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and remove explicit definition of
3776 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
3777 Updated copyright years.
3778 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
3780 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
3781 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
