3 automake, aclocal: honour configure-time AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE
4 Currently, the Automake's own configure script allow definition
5 of AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE, expected to point respectively to an
6 autoconf and autom4te programs. But while these definitions are
7 honoured in the Automake's build systems and test suite, they
8 were *not* honoured in the generated `automake' and `aclocal'
9 scripts. This behaviour, apart from being wrong in that it does
10 not allow the user enough freedom in choosing his tools, also
11 caused inconsistencies in the test suite, brining to spurious
13 Problem reported by Graham Reitz on the automake list; see thread:
14 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-05/msg00022.html>
15 * automake.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOCONF', not simply `autoconf'.
16 * aclocal.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOM4TE', not simply `autom4te'.
17 * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute also `@am_AUTOCONF' and
22 2011-05-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
24 build: the user can override AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE too
25 Our build system allows the user to override AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER
26 at configure time, and honours these overrides in our testsuite.
27 But it didn't do the same with AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE.
28 This change fixes that inconsistency.
29 * configure.ac (am_AUTOM4TE, am_AUTOUPDATE, am_AUTORECONF): New
30 AC_SUBSTitutions. Update comments.
31 * tests/defs.in ($AUTOUPDATE): Default to `@am_AUTOUPDATE@' now.
32 ($AUTOM4TE): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTOM4TE@'.
33 ($AUTORECONF): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTORECONF@'.
34 * doc/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): Update.

39 tests/README: fix example about `make -e' usage
40 * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"): When
41 some variable is never initialized in the Makefile, `-e' is not
42 necessary in order to override it. DESTDIR is such a variable: we
43 ensure that we do not ever initialize it. And as such, it is quite
45 $ make DESTDIR=/foo/bar install
46 and in fact, quite widely used.
47 So our example about when `make -e' is required, which references
48 the `DESTDIR' variable, is poorly chosen, if not downright wrong.
49 Rewrite it to use `prefix' as the overridden variable instead.
51 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
53 testsuite: avoid re-running few tests with 'parallel-tests' option
54 Some tests in our testsuite use the 'simple-tests' driver only
55 marginally, or simply as a mean to conveniently check unrelated
56 invariants. It makes little sense to force these tests to also
57 run with the 'parallel-tests' Automake option active, as doing so
58 offers no real gain in coverage, while often causing a measurable
59 overhead in execution time (for an already too-slow testsuite).
60 * tests/pr401.test (parallel_tests): Define to "no", to prevent
61 the generation of a sibling test script using the 'parallel-tests'
63 * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise.
64 * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
66 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
68 testsuite: allow tests to avoid the use of 'parallel-tests' option
69 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Do not generate "siblings" for tests
70 that explicitly define the `parallel_tests', whether to "yes" or
71 to any other value. Extend heading comments to give a rationale
73 * tests/README: Update.
75 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
77 tests/README: update obsoleted advice
78 * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
79 Do not suggest to use the `*-p.test' pattern for the names of
80 hand-written tests which use the `parallel-tests' Automake option.
81 Not only is this not respected by the existing tests, but it is
82 more likely to cause conflicts with auto-generated tests.
83 So, suggest to *avoid* using the `*-p.test' pattern in names
84 of hand-written tests instead.
85 (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do not"): When
86 suggesting not to override Makefile variables using command
87 line arguments, do not use the badly outdated variables `U'
88 and 'ANSI2KNR' in the example; instead, use the more common
89 and typical `DESTDIR'.
91 2011-05-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
93 test defs: rename requirement 'non-cross' -> 'native'
94 * tests/defs.in (non-cross): Rename requirement ...
95 (native): ... to this, which is clearer and fits the
96 existing lingo better.
97 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
99 2011-05-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
101 testsuite: be more cross-compile friendly

103 (am__tool_prefix): New internal variable.
104 (gcc, g++, gcj): Force the use of the correct "tool prefix"
105 when cross compiling.

108 2011-05-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
110 tests: fix spurious failure of txinfo21.test on FreeBSD
111 * tests/txinfo21.test: Use the `is_newest' subroutine instead of
112 the `ls -t' hack to to determine whether a file has been updated.
113 This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do not sort files
114 with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when using the `-t'
117 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
119 tests defs: allow requirements for compilers (mostly dummy)
120 Most of the new requirements that are now accepted in `$required'
121 as consequence of this patch are still dummy. They are planned
122 to be implemented only in master (or in some derived branch), but
123 having them here (even just as no-op) will allow for an easier
124 integration/backporting of potential new testcases.
125 * tests/defs.in (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): New requirements,
127 (flex): New requirement, picking LEX for configure.
128 (lex): New requirement, alias for `flex'. A more appropriate
129 implementation, looking for a generic `lex' program, will follow
131 (yacc): New requirement, alias for `bison'. A more appropriate
132 implementation, looking for a generic `yacc' program, will follow
135 2011-04-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
137 tests: fix spurious failure in a test on TESTS (VPATH-related)
138 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: When not using the
139 parallel-tests option, do not check that VPATH components are
140 not present in the displayed test name, since the simple-tests
141 driver do not try to strip them.

167 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
169 tests: remove redundant test `mclean.test'

174 2011-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
176 testsuite: more environment sanitization
177 * tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if any of `parallel_tests'
178 or `required' is in the environment.
179 ($sed_unindent_prog): Initialize to empty, to avoid interferences
180 from the environment.
181 * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: Renamed to ...
182 * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: ... this, and extended.

206 option to `configure' invocations, so that slower dependency
207 extractors are not rejected.

280 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
281 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
282 cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
283 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
286 javac: no source files
287 Usage: javac <options> <source files>
289 Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
290 seems to fix this problem.

292 `javac' program. Add a comment explaining why it is needed.

394 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
395 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
396 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
397 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
398 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
399 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
400 See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.
401 This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names
402 which are possibly problematic in this regard.
403 * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target.
404 (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
405 (m4_builtins): New helper variable.
406 (TESTS): Updated according to the following renamings.

432 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created

459 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
460 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
461 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
462 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
463 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
464 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
465 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
466 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
467 * tests/libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to
468 macro AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake
469 does not fail for the wrong reasons.

471 support works with LT_INIT-based interface.

535 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
536 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
537 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
538 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
539 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
540 activated when it should.
542 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
544 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
545 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
546 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
547 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
548 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.

552 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
553 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"

568 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
569 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
570 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris

582 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
583 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
584 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
585 up its internal memory when copying this tree.

595 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
596 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
597 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
599 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
601 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
602 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
603 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
604 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
605 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
606 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

646 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
647 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
648 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid

658 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
659 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
660 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
662 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
664 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input

687 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
688 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to

723 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
724 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.

734 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
735 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
736 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
737 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
738 uselessly run it in a subshell.
739 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
740 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
741 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
743 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
745 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
746 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
747 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
748 Makefile.in stricter.
749 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
750 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
752 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
753 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
754 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
755 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
756 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
757 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
758 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
759 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
760 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
761 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
762 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
763 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
764 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
765 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
766 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
767 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
768 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
769 so they have been moved ...
770 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
771 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
772 trailing `:' command.
773 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
774 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
775 append to configure.in.

777 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
778 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
779 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
780 minor cosmetic improvements.
781 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
782 trailing `:' command.

898 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
899 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
900 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
901 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
902 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

953 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
954 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
955 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
956 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
957 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
958 tests that force gcc depmode.
959 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
960 * tests/silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...

1038 compiler/flag environment variables.
1040 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1042 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
1043 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
1045 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
1046 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
1047 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
1048 supposed to perform.
1050 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
1051 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
1052 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both
1055 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1057 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
1058 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
1059 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to

1071 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1073 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
1074 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
1075 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
1076 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
1077 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
1078 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
1079 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
1080 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
1083 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1085 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
1086 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
1087 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
1088 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
1089 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
1090 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
1091 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
1092 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
1094 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1096 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
1097 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
1098 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
1099 are not part of the Automake API.
1101 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1103 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
1104 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
1105 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
1107 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1109 Rebuild menus in the manual.
1110 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
1111 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
1113 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.

1116 to fix quoting issues.
1117 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.

1124 Found by NixOS Hydra.
1126 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1128 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
1129 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
1130 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
1131 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
1132 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
1133 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
1134 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
1135 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
1136 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1137 Reported by Andy Wingo.
1139 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1141 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
1142 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
1143 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
1144 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
1145 of test `vala2.test'.
1147 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1149 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
1150 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
1151 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
1153 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
1154 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
1155 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
1156 and header remaking.
1157 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
1158 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
1159 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
1160 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
1161 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:

1173 Add support for newer python versions.
1174 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to

1184 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
1185 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
1186 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
1187 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
1188 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
1189 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
1190 please maintainer-check.

1194 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1196 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
1197 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
1198 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
1199 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.

1207 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
1208 are expanded before rules.
1209 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
1210 get matched as a rule.
1211 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
1213 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1215 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
1216 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
1217 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

1234 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
1235 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
1236 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
1237 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
1238 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
1239 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
1240 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1241 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.

1244 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
1245 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
1247 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

1305 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to

1371 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.

1503 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
1504 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
1505 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1506 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1507 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1508 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.
1509 * tests/pr72.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
1510 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.
1511 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise. Also, avoid obsolescent constructs in

1515 changes. Add a trailing `:' command. Also, do not create dummy
1516 files required by "gnu" mode (e.g. README, NEWS), since we run
1517 automake in foreign mode anyway.
1518 * tests/pr243.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
1519 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1520 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
1521 and add a "FIXME" comment.

1531 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Escape literal
1532 dots in grep regular expressions. Also, add a trailing `:'
1533 command, and cosmetic changes to spacing.
1535 Tests for PR: add excerpts from original bug report, for clarity.

1610 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
1611 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
1612 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
1613 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
1614 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.

1644 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1645 Add a trailing `:' command.
1646 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1647 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1648 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1649 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose

1703 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1704 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make

1795 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1796 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1814 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1815 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1816 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1817 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1818 `subdir5.test' here).
1819 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
1820 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add

1829 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1830 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1858 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1860 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1861 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1862 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1863 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1864 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1865 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1866 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1868 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1869 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1870 writing one from scratch.

1904 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1905 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1906 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1907 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1908 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1909 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1910 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1922 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1924 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1925 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1926 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1928 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1930 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1931 `make dist' to fail.

1943 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1944 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1945 declaration, to please compilers.
1947 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1949 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1950 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1951 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1952 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1953 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1954 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1957 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1958 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1959 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes

1984 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1985 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1986 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1987 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1988 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.

2005 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
2006 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.

2031 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
2032 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
2033 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
2034 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
2035 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
2037 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
2038 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
2039 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

2041 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
2042 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

2057 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
2058 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
2060 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
2061 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

2138 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
2139 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
2140 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
2141 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
2142 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
2144 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2146 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
2147 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
2148 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

2150 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
2151 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
2152 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
2153 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
2154 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
2155 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.

2229 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
2230 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
2231 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
2232 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
2233 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
2234 known extension EXT.

2338 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
2339 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
2340 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
2341 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
2342 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.

2374 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
2375 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
2376 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
2378 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
2379 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
2380 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
2381 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
2382 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
2383 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
2384 dependencies are enabled.

2396 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
2397 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated

2410 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2412 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
2413 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
2414 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
2415 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
2416 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
2417 eliminate such inconsistencies.
2418 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
2421 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2434 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2435 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2436 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2438 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2439 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2440 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2442 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2443 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2444 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2445 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2446 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2448 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2451 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2452 missing closing parenthesis.
2454 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2455 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2456 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2458 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2460 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2461 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2464 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2466 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2467 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2468 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2469 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2472 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2474 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2475 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2476 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2477 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2478 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2480 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2481 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2482 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2484 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2485 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2486 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2487 Also, bumped copyright years.
2489 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2491 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2492 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2493 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2495 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2496 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2497 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2498 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2500 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2502 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2503 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2504 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2505 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2506 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2507 cause the whole test to fail.
2509 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2511 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2512 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2513 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2515 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2517 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2518 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2519 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2520 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2522 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2524 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2525 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2527 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2528 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2531 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2533 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2534 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2535 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2536 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2537 and unstable exit status values.
2538 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2539 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2540 $warnings_are_errors.
2541 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2542 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2545 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2547 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2548 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2549 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2550 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2552 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2553 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2554 succeds unexpectedly.
2556 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2557 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2558 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2559 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2561 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2563 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2564 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2565 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2566 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2568 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2570 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2571 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2572 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2575 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2576 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2577 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2578 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2581 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2583 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2584 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2585 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2586 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2588 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2590 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2591 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2594 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2596 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2597 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2598 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2599 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2600 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2602 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2603 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2605 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2606 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2607 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2608 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2609 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2610 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2611 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2612 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2614 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2616 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2617 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
2618 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
2619 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
2620 * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise.
2621 * tests/parallel-tests5.test: Likewise.

2627 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
2628 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
2629 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2630 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2632 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2634 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2635 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2636 already unset in the `defs' file.
2637 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2638 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.
2639 * tests/check9.test: Likewise.

2649 2010-02-22 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
2651 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
2652 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
2654 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2656 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2657 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2658 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2660 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2662 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2664 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
2665 * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards
2667 * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of
2668 wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
2669 * tests/extra12.test: New test, check usage of wildcards in

2683 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2684 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2685 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to
2687 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_pre): Use `exit 143' in signal handler.
2688 * lib/elisp-comp: Likewise.
2689 * lib/install-sh: Likewise.

2694 2010-02-06 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
2696 Improve gnupload usage text.
2697 * gnupload (usage): Shorten to make more likely to fit on a tty
2698 line. Mention CMD in the synopsis. With ..., plural is implied.
2700 2010-01-28 Christos Kontas <xakon@yahoo.com> (tiny change)
2702 Fix some typos in the manual
2703 * doc/automake.texi (Nested Packages, Rebuilding): Fix typos.
2705 2010-01-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2707 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
2708 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
2709 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
2710 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
2712 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
2714 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
2715 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls

2717 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
2718 Updated copyright years.
2719 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
2721 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
2722 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
