534 Don't use "set - x"; plain "set x" is enough, and simplifies debugging.
536 2004-12-05 Toshio Kuratomi <toshio@tiki-lounge.com>
538 * lib/py-compile: Add --destdir switch to py-compile that takes a
539 path argument that is not compiled into the file when byte compiling.
540 * lib/am/python.am: Use the new py-compile arguments to not include
541 DESTDIR in the byte compiled files.
542 * tests/python12.test: Test that DESTDIR won't be byte compiled into
545 2004-12-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
547 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Typo.
549 * doc/automake.texi: Use @acindex for Autoconf macros, and @vindex
550 for variables (@cvindex was previously used for both). Separate
551 these two indices in the output. Use @code, @file, and @command
552 in @cindex lines wherever appropriate so they render nicely.
554 2004-12-05 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
556 * doc/automake.texi (renamed objects, CVS): Typos.
558 2004-12-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
560 * doc/automake.texi (Flag Variables Ordering): New section.

588 * tests/aclocal.test: More checks.
589 * tests/automake.test: New file.
590 * tests/postprog.test: Use `--' for fun.
591 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add automake.test.
592 Report from Eric Blake.
594 * lib/am/progs.am (installcheck-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Run programs with
595 /dev/null as input, so we do not hang on programs that read their
596 input without supporting --help and --version.
597 * lib/am/scripts.am (installcheck-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Likewise for scripts.
598 * tests/gnits2.test: Change scriptnok.sh to cat its input.
599 Report and fix from James Youngman.
601 2004-11-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
603 * aclocal.in (%file_seen): Rename as ...
604 (%file_added): ... this, and move it close to add_file(), the only
605 function that uses it.
607 * aclocal.in (version): Remove initial blank line and reproduce
608 the layout of automake --version. From Art Haas.
610 * aclocal.in (%file_type, FT_USER, FT_AUTOMAKE_SYSTEM): New variables.
611 (scan_m4_dirs): New function, extracted from ...
612 (scan_m4_files): ... here. Call scan_m4_files three times, for each

616 * tests/dirlist.test: Make sure m4_include is not used for --acdir
619 * tests/defs.in (testaclocaldir): New variable.
620 * tests/aclocal.test: Use it to fix the test. Report from
623 2004-11-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
625 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Fix the invocation of
626 AC_PATH_PROGS to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no interpreter
627 is found (this worked correctly only when a minimal version was
628 passed to AM_PATH_PYTHON). Report from Stepan Kasal.
629 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Define using m4_define_default,
630 so we can easily override the list from the test suite.
631 * tests/python11.test: New file.
632 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add python11.test.
634 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Make clearer that -module
635 should appear explicitly in _LDFLAGS.
637 2004-11-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
639 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correctly recognize --print-ac-dir.
640 * tests/aclocal.test: Check --print-ac-dir and a unknown option.
642 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Fix detection of unexisting default
643 $(datadir)/aclocal. Report from Akim.
645 2004-11-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

650 ($default_acdir, $default_dirlist): Remove.
651 (parse_arguments): Populate @user_includes, @automake_includes, and
652 @system_includes instead of filling a unique @dirlist array.
653 ("MAIN"): Adjust to scan m4 files in @user_includes,
654 @automake_includes, and @system_includes.
656 2004-11-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
658 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correct comment. From Akim.
660 2004-11-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
662 * aclocal.in: Use Automake::ChannelDefs, and adjust all output
663 to be done via `fatal', `msg', `verb', or `prog_error'.
664 (version): New function.
665 (parse_arguments): Rewrite using Getopt::Long, call &version, and
666 honor -W and --warning.
668 (trace_used_macros): Do not trace the first arguments of macros
669 for which we do not need it. This caused failures because of
670 unexpected newlines in the output.
671 * doc/automake.texi (aclocal options): Document -W and --warning.
672 * tests/defs.in (ACLOCAL): Always use -Werror, to catch Perl
673 warnings about uninitialized variables.
675 2004-11-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
677 * tests/defs.in: Do not distinguish VERBOSE=x from
678 VERBOSE=anything_but_x, always turn on shell traces.
680 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Make sure $map_traced_defs{$m} exists
681 before using it. Suppress a warning observable in test/acloca16.test.
682 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
684 2004-11-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
686 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Make sure $ENV{'MAKEFLAGS'} exists
687 before inspecting it; this fixes "uninitialized value in
688 concatenation" diagnostics when flock fails.
689 Report from Gary V. Vaughan.
691 * aclocal.in: Use strict and -w. Declare local variables with `my',
692 and get rid of `local'.
693 (scan_m4_files, add_macro): Reindent these functions while we are
696 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
698 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Spelling and grammar corrections
699 from Ralf Wildenhues.

704 (LTLIBOBJ): Rename as ...
705 (LTLIBOBJS): ... this. Link to LIBOBJS, and mention LTALLOCA.
707 2004-10-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
709 * doc/automake.texi: Untabify, tabs in the examples are poorly
711 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Grep tabs in the manual.
713 * tests/comment8.test: Use $MAKE, not make.
715 2004-10-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
717 * tests/distcom3.test: Typo.
719 2004-10-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
721 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Convenience Libraries): Explain how
722 to force the linker selection.
724 * lib/install-sh: Fix the dirname emulation to ignore trailing
725 slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'. This
726 caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
727 * tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
728 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
730 2004-10-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
732 * automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
733 by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
734 target name. Simplify this function to simply conditionally
735 prepend $U to the given extension.
736 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Hard-code
737 the extension to use. This way Automake won't mistake a program
738 named `foo.la' as a libtool library.
739 * tests/primary3.test: New file.
740 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add primary3.test.
742 2004-10-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
744 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Link to node Extending for examples.
745 (Extending): More comments about install-data-hook vs
746 install-exec-hook, and link to Install.
748 * configure.ac: Export @am_AUTOCONF@.
749 * tests/defs.in (AUTOCONF): Define as @am_AUTOCONF@, not @AUTOCONF@,
750 so the test suite runs `autoconf' and not `missing --run autoconf'.
751 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing
752 to be used in front of autoconf even if the user has exported
753 AUTOCONF. This fixes two spurious failures reported by
756 * lib/compile: Handle output.obj in addition to output.o.
757 * tests/compile.test: Check for this.
759 2004-10-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
761 * doc/automake.texi (Sources): Typo, reported by Karl Berry.
763 2004-10-10 Kelley Cook <kcook@gcc.gnu.org> (tiny change)

774 2004-10-10 Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> (tiny change)
776 * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): Check dependency tracking mode for CCAS.
777 * automake.in (cppasm): Use the dependency tracking more for CCAS.
778 * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Note that *.S are
779 preprocessed with CPPFLAGS.
781 2004-10-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
783 * automake.in (Languages): Split .s (asm) and .S (cppasm) into
784 separate languages. Make cppasm (Preprocessed Assembler) aware
785 of CPPFLAGS, AM_CPPFLAGS.
786 (handle_languages): Fix typo.
787 (lang_cppasm_rewrite): New function.
789 2004-09-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
791 * tests/subobj9.test: Adjust regexes after previous patch.
793 2004-09-28 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
795 * automake.in (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable): Output
796 Libtool's --tag= option before --mode=compile, because depcomp use
797 --mode=compile as end marker for libtool arguments.
798 (define_linker_variable): Likewise before --mode=link, for
800 * tests/pr307.test: Make sure dependency files are updated. That
801 was not the case because depcomp thought `--tag=CC' was the
802 compiler to get dependencies from.
803 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
805 2004-09-26 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
807 * configure.ac: Require Perl 5.6.
808 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Require Perl 5.6 (not done in
809 lib/Automake/General.pm because it is shared with Autoconf),
810 and use `our' instead of `use vars'.
811 * aclocal.in (rel2abs): Remove.
812 (scan_configure_dep): Use File::Spec->rel2abs instead.
814 * tests/compile.test, tests/instsh2.test, tests/instspc.test: Use
815 two consecutive spaces in filename instead of one, to catch mistake
816 like `echo $val | ...`.
817 * tests/README: Suggest this.
818 Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
820 2004-09-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
822 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Document -local targets.

865 inline dependency tracking with gcc3.
867 * doc/automake.texi (History): New node.
868 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): New node, filled with a Texinfo
869 version of Tom Tromey's ``Dependency Tracking in Automake''
870 document, initially published on the Automake homepage on
873 2004-09-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
875 * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Make sure AC_PROG_CC is never
876 called after this macro.

880 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
882 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (_print_message): Handle uniq_part with
884 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Set uniq_part so that the
885 AM_PROG_CC_C_O diagnostic is output only once for subdir objects
886 and only once for objects with per-target flags.
888 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Print files and locations
889 for AM_PROG_CC_C_O errors.
890 (handle_single_transform): Pass $var to &$subr so it can
893 * lib/compile, lib/elisp-comp, lib/install-sh, lib/ylwrap: Use $ret
894 instead of $status which is read-only in Zsh.

914 lang_c_rewrite can distinguish libtool objects.
915 * tests/libtool7.test: Use subdir-objects without using AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
916 Report from Gary V. Vaughan and Patrick Welche.
918 2004-09-07 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
920 * automake.in ($PATH_PATTERN): Add `+'.

946 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (new): Precompute 'string' and 'conds'
947 in place instead of as a side-effect of calling ->string and ->conds.

950 (string, conds): Simplify, now that the result is precomputed.
952 * automake.in (%am_file_cache): New hash.
953 (make_paragraphs): Cache .am files with comments stripped to save

973 abort on unknown tokens.
974 (transform): Rewrite with different semantics.
975 (make_paragraphs): Make a single pass over the paragraph to
976 transform all template tokens instead of doing as much passes as

988 * automake.in (%required_aux_file): New hash.
989 (handle_single_transform, lang_c_rewrite): Do not explicitly
990 require 'compile', this is now an internal detail of
992 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE and fill
994 (scan_autoconf_files): Require all %required_aux_file instead
995 of explicitly requiring install-sh and missing.

997 (handle_single_transform): Pass $have_per_exec_flags to
999 * configure.ac, m4/init.m4: Require Autoconf 2.59a.
1000 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.

1003 are used with C sources.
1004 * m4/minuso.m4: Require `compile' using AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
1005 * m4/missing.m4: Require `missing' similarly.
1006 * tests/acsubst2.test, tests/distcom2.test, tests/distcom6.test,

1021 Report from Norman Gray.
1023 2004-08-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1025 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Update documentation for
1026 AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET.
1028 * automake.in (AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): Replace by ...

1045 Disable Lex and Yacc rules whenever possible if AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1046 is used and maintainer-mode disabled.
1047 * automake.in (Automake::struct): Define nodist_specific.
1048 Set it in languages yacc, yaccxx, lex, and lexxx.

1065 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.9a.
1067 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.9.

1072 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
1074 2004-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1076 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Remove `.' from the mkdir_p
1077 definition, it causes `make install' to fails for user with no
1078 right to write in the source-tree.
1079 * automake.in (handle_configure): Do not use mkdir_p in the
1080 definition for $(mkdir_p).
1081 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1083 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Typo in comment.
1085 2004-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1092 * automake.in (check_directory): Quote $dir in regexp.
1094 2004-07-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1096 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8e.
1098 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8d.
1100 * lib/config-ml.in, lib/config.sub, lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex:
1101 New upstream versions.
1103 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
1104 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Use $(X), not ${X}.
1106 * tests/installdir.test: installdirs-local should appear three times,
1107 since the change from 2004-07-11 will make it PHONY.
1109 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Always use $(DIST_SUBDIRS) now
1110 that it is always defined. This is less confusing for users
1111 reading the generated Makefiles.
1112 * automake.in (handle_dist): Do not substitute DIST_SUBDIR_NAME.
1114 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
1115 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Output .htp, and then rename to .html
1116 on success. In case the target is a directory, this ensures its
1117 time stamp is updated and the no files are left over inside.
1118 * tests/txinfo21.test: Augment to test missing timestamp update
1119 reported by Akim Demaille.
1121 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Rename as ...
1122 (Directories): ... this, and split into ...
1123 (Subdirectories, Conditional Subdirectories): ... these.
1124 (Subdirectories): Illustrate the use of `.'.
1125 (Conditional Subdirectories): Describe SUBDIRS and DIST_SUBDIRS
1126 before the example. Append a discussion about non-configured
1127 conditional directories.

1136 (handle_single_transform): Pass %transform to target_hook.
1137 (handle_source_transform): Define DIST_SOURCE to tell whether
1138 a the source of a file is distributed or not.
1139 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Check DIST_SOURCE, and do not distribute
1140 the generated header if the .y source is not distributed.
1141 * tests/pr204.test: Use AM_YFLAGS = -d and make sure generated
1142 headers are not distributed.
1144 2004-07-12 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com> (tiny change)
1146 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Improve ustar file name length
1147 discussion. Reference tar manual.

1151 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Fix precondition check.
1153 2004-07-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1155 For PR automake/428:
1156 Support for conditionally defined -hook and -local rules.
1157 * automake.in (user_phony_rule): New function.
1158 (handle_dist, handle_install, handle_all, do_check_merge_target,
1159 handle_factored_dependencies): Use user_phony_rule before
1160 adding a user -hook or -local rule as a dependency to ensure
1161 it is always defined an phony.
1162 * tests/cond37.test, tests/condhook.test: New files.
1163 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
1164 Report from Simon Josefsson and Nik A. Melchior.
1166 2004-07-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1168 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Warn that you should create
1169 /tmp/staging before installing into it, to avoid security problems.
1170 * lib/install-sh: Remove support for -b= and -t= options; this
1171 has been moribund for a decade.
1172 Add support for -t and -T options (new in coreutils install).
1173 -c option now does nothing (the default is to copy), for
1174 compatibility with BSD and coreutils 'install'.
1175 Fix usage message; it referred to nonexistent variables.
1176 Don't assume 'lasterr' is unset in environment.
1177 * tests/instsh2.test: Don't assume that install-sh without -c
1178 moves (it now copies). Add tests for new -t and -T options.
1180 2004-06-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1182 For Debian Bug#254372:
1183 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Rewrite the paragraph
1184 explaining m4_include is used for relative files.
1186 2004-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1188 For Debian Bug #251820:
1189 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Keep track of the location where each
1190 file is included, and display it when reporting a missing file.
1191 Pass this location to scan_file as a second argument.
1192 (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_file.
1193 * tests/acloca14.test: Add a test for this diagnostic.
1195 2004-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1197 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Split the definition of $_am_tools
1198 so it works with Solaris and Tru64 /bin/sh.
1199 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1201 2004-06-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1203 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Introduce $_am_tools to work around a
1204 bug in NetBSD /bin/sh.
1205 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1207 2004-06-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1209 * tests/defs.in (required=icc): Use `-V -help' instead of
1210 `-V -dryrun'. icc 8.0 fails on the latter.
1211 * tests/depcomp5.test: Require depmode=icc for icc 7.x, and
1212 depmod=gcc otherwise.
1213 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1215 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Do no
1216 `rm -f $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' if `$(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' is empty.
1217 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1219 2004-05-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1221 * NEWS: Make clearer that we do not output partial Makefile.ins on
1223 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1225 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Use $dir$base.o.d instead
1226 of $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Libtool 1.5 causes both to be output,
1227 and we will clean the second automatically during distclean.
1228 Using the latter and leaving the former as we did before cause
1229 "files left in build directory" failures during distcheck.
1230 Suggested by Nicolas Joly.
1232 * doc/automake.texi (Built sources example): Explain what
1233 nodist_foo_SOURCES is (not) useful to, and use it in all the
1235 (Tags): Mention nodist_noinst_HEADERS and nodist_prog_SOURCES.
1236 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1238 2004-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1240 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8c.
1242 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8b.
1244 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR) <cpio>: Specify -o and -i option first,
1245 by POSIX; and use option -d in am_untar.
1247 * tests/defs.in (PATH): Export it.
1249 * lib/am/multilib.am: Add $(MAKE) comments to multido and
1250 multiclean lines, to enable parallel make. Based on a patch
1251 by Alexandre Oliva applied to newlib on 2003-10-15.
1253 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1255 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for LT_SUPPORTED_TAG
1256 instead of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, since that how CVS Libtool has been
1258 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not grep for --tag=CC, since CVS
1259 Libtool (unlike Libtool 1.5) does not has any CC tag.
1261 * tests/tar2.test: Skip the test if no pax archiver were found.
1263 * NEWS: Sync with branch-1-8, and reorganize current entry.
1265 * automake.in (handle_libraries): Make the diagnostic about
1266 non standard libraries a warning in foreign packages. This
1267 is already the case in handle_ltlibraries.
1268 (handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Suggest a standard
1269 library name in the diagnostic, to help newcomers.
1270 * tests/stdlib.test, tests/stdlib2.test: Check for these
1273 Check directory names for unportable names. Shaking the code
1274 to check this also led to the removal of the no-"/"-in-SUBDIRS
1275 restriction, and a fix to _do_recursive_traversal.
1277 * automake.in (check_directory): New function extracted from
1278 handle_subdirs, and augmented to check for reserved W32/DOS name.
1279 (check_directories_in_var): New function.
1280 (handle_subdirs): Call check_directories_in_var. Doing so also
1281 suppress the restriction that SUBDIRS should not contain slashes.
1282 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR>: Call check_directory
1283 to ensure the argument exists and is safe.
1284 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Do not say that src/subdir
1285 cannot be put in SUBDIRS.
1286 (Dist): Mention that distdir and top_distdir can be absolute.
1287 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_do_recursive_traversal) Support
1288 undefined $fun_collect, and fix two bugs introduced with
1289 skip_ac_subst on 2004-03-07.
1290 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Use absolute distdir and
1291 top_distdir when recursing, because we can no longer prepend only
1292 `..' in case of SUBDIRS with `/'.
1293 * tests/auxdir4.test, tests/subdir9.test: New files.
1294 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add auxdir4.test.
1295 * tests/cond2.test, tests/subdir7.test: Augment to check location
1298 2004-05-21 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> (tiny changes)
1300 * tests/txinfo22.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Use aux1, not aux, for
1301 cygwin compatibility.
1302 * tests/yacc6.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Likewise.
1304 * tests/conflnk3.test: Isolate checking for working `test -e' into
1305 a subshell, to skip this test on broken /bin/sh of solaris.
1307 2004-05-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1309 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITIONAL): Double-quote diagnostic.
1310 * tests/condd.test: Define a macro with the same name as a
1312 * tests/pr220.test: Modernize, and make sure the diagnostics
1313 contains the macro name.
1314 Report from Volker Boerchers.
1316 2004-05-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1318 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
1320 2004-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1322 * automake.in (handle_dist): Always define DIST_SUBDIRS, even when
1323 the no-dist or cygnus options are used.
1324 * tests/clean2.test: New file.
1325 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add clean2.test.
1326 Report from Daniel Jacobowitz.
1328 * aclocal.in (add_macro): Do not error out on undefined required
1329 macros. We are not sure they are really used, and Autoconf
1330 already diagnoses them.
1331 (scan_configure_dep): Diagnose missing AM_ macros as warnings rather
1333 * tests/aclocal3.test, tests/ammissing.test: Adjust to expect a
1334 warning instead of an error.
1335 * tests/aclocal8.test: AC_REQUIRE an undefined macro in an unused
1336 macro, and ensure aclocal works anyway.
1337 * tests/acloca17.test: New file.
1338 * tests/error.test: Delete, superseded by tests/acloca17.test.
1339 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca17.test and remove error.test.
1340 Report from Jim Meyering.
1342 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?!GENERIC_INFO?%DEST_INFO_PREFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1343 Fold a few lines to reduce the output by 5 lines.
1344 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1346 * automake.in (parse_arguments, MAIN): Give more precise
1347 diagnostics when no input file is found.
1348 * tests/output5.test: Adjust.
1349 Suggested by Jens Petersen.
1351 2004-05-14 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1353 * lib/am/libs.am (AR, ARFLAGS): Move these definition ...
1354 * automake.in (handle_libraries): ... here, so that they are
1355 output even for EXTRA_LIBRARIES.
1356 * tests/ar2.test: New file.
1357 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1358 Report from Kevin Ryde.

1365 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add werror2.test.
1366 * tests/substtarg.test, tests/cond36.test, tests/backsl4.test:
1367 Adjust to run automake with -Wno-error when the output is expected
1368 in spite of the error.
1369 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1371 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Remove
1372 doubled word in footnote.
1374 * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Also check for a
1375 $(srcdir)/old_source rule when computing the default source name.
1376 Propagate this $(srcdir) prefix in Automake variables.
1377 * tests/ltlibsrc.test (noinst_LTLIBRARIES): Explicitly refer to
1378 $(srcdir)/zoo_d_old2_la.c. This fixes another failure with BSD Make.
1380 2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1382 * Makefile.am (fetch): Work even with FreeBSD "make", which
1383 uses sh -e and thus errors-out if a simple-command fails.
1384 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Likewise.
1385 * lib/am/ltlib.am (clean-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Likewise.
1386 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Likewise.
1388 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1390 * tests/lex3.test, tests/yacc6.test: Require GNU Make.
1391 Fixing these for BSD Make requires invasive changes (lexers and
1392 parsers must be built into $srcdir, and--most annoyingly--all
1393 references to parse.h must be changed to $(srcdir)/parse.h).
1394 Report from Mark D. Baushke.
1396 2004-05-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1398 * tests/defs.in (GNUmake): Grep for GNU to parry FreeBSD make.
1399 Report from Mark D. Baushke.

1414 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Turn VAR_ASIS variables into

1416 limited line length, such as OSF1/Tru64 make.
1417 * tests/longline.test: New file.
1418 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1419 * tests/pluseq3.test, tests/pluseq8.test: Adjust.
1420 Report from Simon Josefsson.
1422 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Pass `.' to Exuberant Ctags if
1423 --etags-include is used but no other files are supplied, so it
1424 creates the TAGS file anyway.
1425 Report from Akim Demaille.
1427 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Nicolas Joly reported on
1428 2002-06-12 that dependencies were output in $dir.libs/$base.lo.d.
1429 Teun Burgers reported on 2004-03-30 they were in
1430 $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Try both.

1497 ($automake_will_process_aux_dir): New variable.
1498 (scan_autoconf_traces): Reorder @input_files so that the Makefile

1500 have to process all files twice using

1559 2004-04-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1561 * lib/install-sh: If "mv -f" works, use it, and fall back to
1562 the old "test -f" + "rm -f" + "mv" method only if "mv -f" does
1563 not work. This improves performance in the usual case where
1564 "mv -f" works. It also lets us install the "mv" command
1565 without worrying about a small window where "mv" does not
1566 exist (this problem was reported by Raul Nunez de Arenas

1596 Fix for PR automake/285:
1597 * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): Keep track of installation

1622 Reported by Mark Phillips.
1624 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use Automake::Rule::define

1644 2004-02-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1650 Report from Nathanael Nerode.

1715 to create "" directories.
1716 * test/instspc.test: New file.

1721 (Extending): Make it a subsection of Not Enough.
1723 * lib/gnupload (GPG): Use an absolute path. Suggestion from Gary
1725 (passphrase): Unset it this variable before using it, in case it
1726 was exported. Report from Scott James Remnant.

1745 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Use `s/xx//p'
1746 instead of `/xx/ s///p'; the latter fails when GNU sed is run with
1747 POSIXLY_CORRECT. Also strip superfluous -e.
1748 Report from Miloslav Trmac.
1750 2004-01-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1752 * tests/lex5.test: Sleep before calling AUTOMAKE the second time,
1753 this fixes a spurious failure reported by Andreas Schwab. Also
1754 make sure ylwrap is not installed unless needed, and exercise
1757 2004-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> (tiny change)

1971 Suggested by Tom Tromey.
1973 Do not output .lo rules for programs and static libraries objects,

1975 about explicit rules only, not inference rules.
1976 * automake.in (handle_single_transform_list): Rename as ...
1977 (handle_single_transform): ... this. Take a single file
