3 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
4 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
5 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
6 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
7 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
8 activated when it should.
10 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
12 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
13 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
14 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
15 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
16 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
18 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
20 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
21 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
22 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
23 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
24 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
26 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
28 tests defs: sanitize IFS
29 * tests/defs.in ($IFS): Define to <space>, <tab>, <newline>.
30 ($sp): New variable, holding a single whitespace character.
31 ($tab): New variable, holding a tabulation character.
32 ($nl): New variable, holding a newline character.
34 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
36 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
37 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
38 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
39 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
41 2011-01-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
43 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
44 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
45 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
46 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
48 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
50 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
51 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
52 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
53 up its internal memory when copying this tree.
55 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
56 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

59 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Update comment.
61 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
63 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
64 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
65 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
67 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
69 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
70 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
71 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
72 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
73 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
74 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

77 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
79 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
80 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
81 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
82 parallel-tests driver.
84 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
86 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
87 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
88 conftest.dir before recreating it.
90 Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4.
92 2011-01-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
94 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
95 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
98 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
100 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
101 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
102 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
103 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
105 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
107 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
108 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.
109 Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command.

112 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
114 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
115 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
116 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
117 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
118 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
119 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
122 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
124 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
126 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
127 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
128 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
130 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
132 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
133 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
134 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
135 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
136 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
137 Report by Stefano Lattarini.

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

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

198 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
200 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
202 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
203 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
204 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
205 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
206 uselessly run it in a subshell.
207 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
208 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
209 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
211 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
213 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
214 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
215 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
216 Makefile.in stricter.
217 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
218 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
220 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
221 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
222 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
223 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
224 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
225 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
226 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
227 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
228 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
229 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
230 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
231 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
232 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
233 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
234 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
235 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
236 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
237 so they have been moved ...
238 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
239 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
240 trailing `:' command.
241 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
242 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
243 append to configure.in.
244 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
245 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
246 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
247 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
248 minor cosmetic improvements.
249 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
250 trailing `:' command.
251 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
252 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.

276 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
277 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to

279 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
280 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
282 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.

356 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
357 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require

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

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

421 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
422 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
423 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
424 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
425 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
426 tests that force gcc depmode.
427 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
428 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
429 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new

510 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
511 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
513 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
514 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
515 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
518 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
519 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
520 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both
523 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
525 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
526 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
527 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
528 avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.
529 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
531 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
533 Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
534 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
535 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
536 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the
537 very first version of this test script.
539 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
541 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
542 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
543 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
544 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
545 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
546 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
547 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
548 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
551 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
553 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
554 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
555 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
556 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
557 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
558 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
559 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
560 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
562 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
564 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
565 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
566 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
567 are not part of the Automake API.
569 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
571 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
572 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
573 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
575 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
577 Rebuild menus in the manual.
578 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
579 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
581 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
582 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
583 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
584 to fix quoting issues.
585 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
586 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
588 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

592 Found by NixOS Hydra.
594 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
596 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
597 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
598 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
599 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
600 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
601 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
602 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
603 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
604 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
605 Reported by Andy Wingo.
607 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
609 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
610 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
611 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
612 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
613 of test `vala2.test'.
615 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
617 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
618 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
619 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
621 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
622 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
623 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
625 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
626 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
627 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
628 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
629 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
631 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
633 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
635 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
636 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
637 (Introduction): Refer to it.
639 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
641 Add support for newer python versions.
642 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
643 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
644 line and fix indentation.
646 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
648 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
649 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
650 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
652 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
653 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
654 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
655 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
656 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
657 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
658 please maintainer-check.
659 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
661 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
662 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
664 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
665 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
666 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
667 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
668 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
669 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
670 * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
672 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
674 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
675 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
676 are expanded before rules.
677 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
678 get matched as a rule.
679 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
681 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
683 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
684 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
685 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

700 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
702 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
703 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
704 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
705 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
706 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
707 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
708 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
709 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
710 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
711 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
712 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
713 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
715 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

719 Testsuite: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when extending PATH.
720 * tests/compile2.test: Do no uselessly (implicitly) repeat the
721 computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again.
722 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when
723 extending/redefining PATH.

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

771 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
772 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
773 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
774 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
777 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
779 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
781 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
783 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
784 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
785 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
786 seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release

827 2010-09-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
829 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
830 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
831 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
832 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
834 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
835 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
837 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
839 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
840 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
841 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
843 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
844 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
845 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
846 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
848 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
849 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
850 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
851 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
852 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
853 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
854 (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
855 * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.

883 Fix bug in test missing6.test.
884 * tests/missing6.test: Fix the hack used to edit `configure.in',
885 to avoid producing a configure script that breaks with shells
886 that do not support $LINENO. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic
889 2010-08-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
891 Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.
892 * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure
893 $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.

898 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
900 2010-08-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

908 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
910 Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
911 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
912 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that
913 the package developer can disable it altogether. Add a reference
914 to the proper section for a more in-depth explanation.
916 Fix typo in manual (`Makefile.in' instead of `Makefile.am').
917 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.
919 2010-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>

935 * tests/aclocal18.test: Add trailing `:' command, and make
936 some grepping slightly stricter.
937 * tests/acloca14.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `diff' over
938 `cmp', and add some "cosmetic" blank lines.
940 2010-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
942 Tweak and extend tests `pr[!0-9]*.test'.
943 * tests/primary3.test: Add trailing `:' command.
944 * tests/primary.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
945 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.

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

987 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
988 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
989 and add a "FIXME" comment.
990 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
991 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
992 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
993 `configure.in'; also, use the `configure.in' stub created by
994 ./defs, rather than writing it from scratch. Enable `errexit'
995 shell flag, and related changes. Add trailing `:' command.

1112 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1113 Add a trailing `:' command.
1114 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1115 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1116 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1117 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1118 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1119 trailing `:' command.

1171 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1172 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1173 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1174 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1175 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1176 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1196 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1197 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1198 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1200 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
1201 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.

1263 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1264 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1297 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1298 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1328 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1329 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1330 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1331 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1332 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1333 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1334 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1336 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1337 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1338 writing one from scratch.

1372 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1373 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1374 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is

1392 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1393 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1394 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1396 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1398 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1399 `make dist' to fail.

1411 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1412 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1413 declaration, to please compilers.
1415 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1417 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1418 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1419 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1420 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1421 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1422 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1425 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1426 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.

1447 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1448 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1450 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1451 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1452 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1453 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1454 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.

1486 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1488 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1489 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1491 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1492 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1493 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1494 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1495 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1496 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1497 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1498 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1499 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1500 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1501 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1502 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1503 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1505 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1506 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1507 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1508 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1509 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1510 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1520 Modernize, improve and/or fix tests `pluseq*.test.
1521 * tests/pluseq5.test: Append to configure.in using cat with an
1522 here-doc, not using echo.
1523 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1524 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1525 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1526 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1528 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1529 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.
1530 * tests/pluseq2.test: Likewise. Also, append to configure.in
1531 using cat with an here-doc, not using echo.

1541 or grepping it. Be sure to send captured stderr to stderr, not to
1543 * tests/ansi3b.test: Likewise.
1544 * tests/cond39.test: Likewise.
1545 * tests/configure.test: Likewise.
1546 * tests/missing3.test: Likewise.

1555 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1556 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
1558 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1559 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1561 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.
1562 * tests/backsl.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

1574 related changes. Do some cosmetic improvements in the generated
1575 `configure.in' file.

1577 * tests/cond14.test: Likewise.
1578 * tests/condinc.test: Likewise.

1580 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am.
1581 * tests/ansi.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1582 changes. Extended, esp. by running autoconf, ./configure and
1583 make, and by looking into the distdir.
1585 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1586 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1588 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1589 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1590 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1591 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1593 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1595 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1596 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
1599 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
1600 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
1601 improvement to comments.
1602 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1603 Prepend it to all error messages.
1605 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1606 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1607 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1608 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1609 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1610 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1612 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1614 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1615 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1616 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1617 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1618 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1619 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1620 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1621 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1622 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1623 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1624 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1625 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1626 rather than in the middle.

1628 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1629 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.

1638 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
1639 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
1640 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1641 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1642 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1643 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1644 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1645 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1646 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1648 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1649 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1667 command substitution.
1668 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1669 command substitution.

1673 in the generated `configure.in'.
1675 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1677 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
1678 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
1679 the verbose log contains all output.
1680 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1681 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1683 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1685 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

1697 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1698 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1699 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1700 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1701 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1702 known extension EXT.
1704 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1774 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1776 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1777 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1778 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1779 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1780 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
1781 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
1782 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1784 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1788 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1790 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1791 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1792 output produced by `make'.
1793 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1795 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1796 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

1799 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1800 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1801 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1802 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1804 Improved test silent5.test.
1805 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1806 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1807 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1808 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1809 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1810 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1812 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1813 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1814 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1815 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1817 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).

1819 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1821 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1822 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1823 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1825 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1826 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1827 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1829 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1830 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1831 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1832 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
1833 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

1839 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1841 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1842 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1843 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1844 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1846 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1847 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1848 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1849 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1850 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1851 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1852 dependencies are enabled.
1853 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1854 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1855 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1856 dependency tracking.
1857 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1858 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1859 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1861 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1863 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1864 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1865 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1866 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1867 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1869 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1871 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1872 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1873 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1874 double-quotes and backquotes.
1876 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1878 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1880 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1881 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1882 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1883 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1884 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1885 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1886 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1889 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1891 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1892 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1893 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1895 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1896 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1897 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1900 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1902 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1903 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1904 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1906 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1907 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1908 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1910 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1911 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1912 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1913 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1914 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1916 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1919 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1920 missing closing parenthesis.
1922 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1923 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1924 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1926 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1928 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1929 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1932 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1934 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1935 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1936 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1937 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1940 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1942 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1943 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1944 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1945 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1946 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1948 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1949 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1950 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1952 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1953 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1954 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1955 Also, bumped copyright years.
1957 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1959 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1960 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1961 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1963 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1964 * tests/configure.test: New test.

1966 Report by Stefano Lattarini.

1970 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1971 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1972 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1973 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1974 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1975 cause the whole test to fail.
1977 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1979 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1980 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1981 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.

1999 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2001 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2002 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2003 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2004 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2005 and unstable exit status values.
2006 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2007 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2008 $warnings_are_errors.
2009 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2010 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2013 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2015 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2016 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2017 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2018 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2020 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2021 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2022 succeds unexpectedly.
2024 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2025 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2026 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2027 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.

2032 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2033 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2034 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2036 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2038 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2039 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2040 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2043 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2044 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2045 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2046 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2049 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2051 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2052 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):

2058 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2059 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2062 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2064 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
