3 tests: fix spurious failures in lflags*.test
4 * tests/lflags.test: Remove 'LEX' from the environment, so
5 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
6 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
8 2011-01-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
10 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
11 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
12 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
13 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
14 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
15 activated when it should.
17 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
19 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
20 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
21 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
22 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
23 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
25 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
27 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
28 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
29 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
30 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
31 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
33 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
35 tests defs: sanitize IFS

38 ($tab): New variable, holding a tabulation character.
39 ($nl): New variable, holding a newline character.
41 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
43 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
44 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
45 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
46 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
48 2011-01-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
50 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
51 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
52 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
53 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
55 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
57 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
58 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
59 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
60 up its internal memory when copying this tree.
62 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
63 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

68 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
70 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
71 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
72 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
74 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
76 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
77 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
78 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
79 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
80 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
81 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

86 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
87 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
88 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
89 parallel-tests driver.

101 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
102 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
103 be turned unreadable.
105 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
107 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
108 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
109 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
110 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
112 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
114 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
115 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.
116 Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command.

119 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
121 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
122 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
123 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
124 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
125 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
126 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
129 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
131 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
133 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
134 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
135 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
137 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
139 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
140 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
141 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
142 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
143 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
144 Report by Stefano Lattarini.

153 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
154 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
155 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
156 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
158 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
160 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
162 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
163 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
164 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
165 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
166 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
167 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
168 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

195 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL

197 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
198 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
199 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.

205 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
207 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
209 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
210 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
211 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
212 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
213 uselessly run it in a subshell.
214 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
215 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
216 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
218 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
220 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
221 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
222 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
223 Makefile.in stricter.
224 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
225 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
227 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
228 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
229 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
230 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
231 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
232 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
233 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
234 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
235 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
236 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
237 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
238 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
239 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
240 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
241 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
242 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
243 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
244 so they have been moved ...
245 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
246 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
247 trailing `:' command.
248 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
249 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
250 append to configure.in.
251 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
252 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
253 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
254 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
255 minor cosmetic improvements.
256 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
257 trailing `:' command.
258 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.

283 Add test coverage for deleted header files.

287 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.

363 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.

366 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
367 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).

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

428 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
429 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
430 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
431 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
432 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
433 tests that force gcc depmode.
434 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.

509 2010-11-19 Ian Lance Taylor <iant@google.com>
511 Sync config-ml.in from GCC.
512 * config-ml.in: Add Go support: treat GOC and GOCFLAGS like other
513 compiler/flag environment variables.
515 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
517 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
518 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
520 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
521 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
522 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
525 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
526 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
527 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both
530 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
532 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
533 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
534 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
535 avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.
536 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
538 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
540 Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
541 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
542 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
543 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the

546 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
548 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
549 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
550 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
551 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
552 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
553 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
554 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
555 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
558 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
560 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
561 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
562 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
563 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
564 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
565 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
566 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
567 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
569 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
571 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
572 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
573 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
574 are not part of the Automake API.
576 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
578 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
579 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
580 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
582 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
584 Rebuild menus in the manual.
585 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
586 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
588 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
589 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
590 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
591 to fix quoting issues.
592 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
593 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.

599 Found by NixOS Hydra.
601 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
603 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
604 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
605 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
606 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
607 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
608 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
609 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
610 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
611 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
612 Reported by Andy Wingo.
614 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
616 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
617 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
618 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
619 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
620 of test `vala2.test'.
622 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
624 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
625 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
626 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
628 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
629 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
630 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
632 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
633 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
634 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
635 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
636 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
638 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
640 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
642 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
643 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
644 (Introduction): Refer to it.
646 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
648 Add support for newer python versions.
649 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
650 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
651 line and fix indentation.

656 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
657 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
659 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
660 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
661 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
662 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
663 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
664 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
665 please maintainer-check.
666 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
668 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
669 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
671 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
672 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
673 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
674 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
675 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.

679 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
681 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
682 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
683 are expanded before rules.
684 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
685 get matched as a rule.
686 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
688 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
690 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
691 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,

709 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
710 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
711 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
712 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
713 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
714 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
715 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
716 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
717 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
718 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
719 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
720 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
722 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

726 Testsuite: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when extending PATH.
727 * tests/compile2.test: Do no uselessly (implicitly) repeat the
728 computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again.
729 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when
730 extending/redefining PATH.

751 Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
752 * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
753 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
754 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
755 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
756 `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private

778 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
779 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
780 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
781 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
784 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
786 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
788 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
790 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
791 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
792 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
793 seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release

836 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
837 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
838 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
839 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
841 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
842 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
844 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
846 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
847 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
848 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
850 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
851 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
852 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
853 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
855 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
856 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
857 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
858 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
859 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
860 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
861 (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
862 * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.

892 to avoid producing a configure script that breaks with shells
893 that do not support $LINENO. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic
896 2010-08-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
898 Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.
899 * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure
900 $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.

905 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
907 2010-08-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

917 Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
918 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
919 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that
920 the package developer can disable it altogether. Add a reference
921 to the proper section for a more in-depth explanation.
923 Fix typo in manual (`Makefile.in' instead of `Makefile.am').
924 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.

942 * tests/aclocal18.test: Add trailing `:' command, and make
943 some grepping slightly stricter.
944 * tests/acloca14.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `diff' over
945 `cmp', and add some "cosmetic" blank lines.
947 2010-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
949 Tweak and extend tests `pr[!0-9]*.test'.
950 * tests/primary3.test: Add trailing `:' command.
951 * tests/primary.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
952 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.

976 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.
977 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
978 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
979 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
980 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
981 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
982 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
983 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.
984 * tests/pr72.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
985 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.

994 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
995 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
996 and add a "FIXME" comment.
997 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
998 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
999 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
1000 `configure.in'; also, use the `configure.in' stub created by
1001 ./defs, rather than writing it from scratch. Enable `errexit'
1002 shell flag, and related changes. Add trailing `:' command.
1003 * tests/pr279-2.test: Likewise, and make grepping of Makefile.in
1005 * tests/pr307.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1006 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Escape literal

1178 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1179 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1180 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1181 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1182 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1183 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1203 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1204 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1205 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1207 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.

1270 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1271 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1303 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1304 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1305 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1335 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1336 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1337 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1338 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1339 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1340 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1341 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1343 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1344 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than

1379 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1380 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1381 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is

1399 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1400 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1401 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1403 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1405 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause

1418 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1419 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1420 declaration, to please compilers.
1422 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1424 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1425 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1426 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1427 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1428 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1429 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1432 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1433 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.

1457 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1458 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1459 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1460 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1461 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.

1489 Remove a couple of unneeded conditionals from tests.
1490 * tests/pr243.test, tests/pr266.test, tests/strip.test: No need
1491 for the FOOTEST conditional.
1493 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1495 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1496 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1498 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1499 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1500 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1501 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1502 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1503 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1504 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1505 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1506 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1507 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1508 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1509 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1510 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1512 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1513 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1514 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

1516 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1517 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1528 * tests/pluseq5.test: Append to configure.in using cat with an
1529 here-doc, not using echo.
1530 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1531 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1532 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1533 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1535 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1536 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1562 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1563 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
1565 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1566 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1568 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.

1593 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1595 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1596 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1597 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1598 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1600 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1602 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1603 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way

1608 improvement to comments.
1609 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1610 Prepend it to all error messages.
1612 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1613 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1614 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1615 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1616 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1617 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1619 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1621 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1622 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1623 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1624 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1625 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1626 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1627 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1628 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1629 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1630 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1631 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1632 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1633 rather than in the middle.

1647 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1648 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1649 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1650 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1651 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1652 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.

1655 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1656 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1674 command substitution.
1675 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1676 command substitution.
1677 * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs

1684 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
1685 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
1686 the verbose log contains all output.
1687 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1688 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1690 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1692 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

1704 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1705 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1706 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1707 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1708 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1709 known extension EXT.
1711 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1781 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1783 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1784 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1785 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1786 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1787 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
1788 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
1789 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1791 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1795 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1797 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1798 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1799 output produced by `make'.
1800 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1802 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1803 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

1807 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1808 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1809 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1811 Improved test silent5.test.
1812 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1813 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1814 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1815 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1816 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1817 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1819 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1820 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1821 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1822 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.

1826 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1828 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1829 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1830 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1832 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1833 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1834 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1836 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1837 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1838 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1839 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
1840 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

1846 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1848 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1849 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1850 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1851 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1853 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1854 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1855 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1856 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1857 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1858 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1859 dependencies are enabled.
1860 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1861 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1862 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1863 dependency tracking.
1864 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1865 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1866 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1868 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1870 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1871 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1872 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1873 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1874 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1876 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1878 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1879 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1880 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1881 double-quotes and backquotes.
1883 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1885 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1887 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1888 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1889 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1890 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1891 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1892 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1893 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1896 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1898 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1899 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1900 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1902 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1903 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1904 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1907 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1909 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1910 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1911 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1913 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1914 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1915 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1917 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1918 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1919 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1920 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1921 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1923 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1926 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1927 missing closing parenthesis.
1929 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1930 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1931 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1933 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1935 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1936 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1939 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1941 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1942 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1943 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1944 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1947 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1949 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1950 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1951 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1952 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1953 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1955 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1956 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1957 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1959 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1960 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1961 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1962 Also, bumped copyright years.
1964 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1966 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1967 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1968 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1970 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1971 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1972 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1973 Report by Stefano Lattarini.

1977 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1978 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1979 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1980 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1981 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1982 cause the whole test to fail.
1984 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1986 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1987 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:

2006 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2008 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2009 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2010 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2011 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2012 and unstable exit status values.
2013 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2014 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2015 $warnings_are_errors.

2022 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2023 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2024 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2025 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2027 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2028 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2029 succeds unexpectedly.

2032 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2033 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2034 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.

2045 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2046 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2047 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2050 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2051 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2052 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2053 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2056 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2058 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2059 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):

2065 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2066 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2069 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2071 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.

2080 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2081 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
