33 * aclocal.in ($ac_defun_rx): Match AU_ALIAS.
34 * tests/aclocal5.test (MORE_DEFS): Rename as...
35 (AM_TEST): this so that undefined macros are caught.
36 And make it an alias of AC_SUBST.
38 Reported by Martin Bravenboer.

164 * doc/automake.texi: Correct several misuses of @xref and @pxref.
166 2004-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
168 * install-sh: Use `(exit N); exit N', not `(exit N); exit'.
169 Otherwise, install-sh could exit with improper exit status when
170 exiting via a trapped interrupt. Thanks to a report from Bob Proulx.
172 2004-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
174 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Englishoes.

218 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (dir_has_case_matching_file,
219 reset_dir_cache): New functions.
220 * automake.in (handle_dist, require_file_internal): Use them, so
221 that CHANGELOG is not confused with ChangeLog on case-insensitive
222 case-preserving file systems.
223 * tests/hfs.test: New file.
224 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hfs.test.
226 2004-12-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
228 * lib/mdate-sh: Don't use "set - x`$ls_command /`", as zsh mishandles
229 the spaces inside $ls_command. Problem reported by Loulou Pouchet in
230 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-12/msg00074.html>.
231 Don't use "set - x"; plain "set x" is enough, and simplifies debugging.
233 2004-12-05 Toshio Kuratomi <toshio@tiki-lounge.com>
235 * lib/py-compile: Add --destdir switch to py-compile that takes a
236 path argument that is not compiled into the file when byte compiling.
237 * lib/am/python.am: Use the new py-compile arguments to not include
238 DESTDIR in the byte compiled files.
239 * tests/python12.test: Test that DESTDIR won't be byte compiled into
242 2004-12-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
244 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Typo.
246 * doc/automake.texi: Use @acindex for Autoconf macros, and @vindex
247 for variables (@cvindex was previously used for both). Separate
248 these two indices in the output. Use @code, @file, and @command
249 in @cindex lines wherever appropriate so they render nicely.
251 2004-12-05 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
253 * doc/automake.texi (renamed objects, CVS): Typos.
255 2004-12-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
257 * doc/automake.texi (Flag Variables Ordering): New section.
258 (User Variables, Program and Library Variables): @xref it.

262 * doc/automake.texi (Conditional Subdirectories): More comments
263 about non-distributed subdirectories.

286 * tests/automake.test: New file.
287 * tests/postprog.test: Use `--' for fun.
288 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add automake.test.
289 Report from Eric Blake.
291 * lib/am/progs.am (installcheck-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Run programs with
292 /dev/null as input, so we do not hang on programs that read their
293 input without supporting --help and --version.
294 * lib/am/scripts.am (installcheck-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Likewise for scripts.
295 * tests/gnits2.test: Change scriptnok.sh to cat its input.
296 Report and fix from James Youngman.
298 2004-11-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
300 * aclocal.in (%file_seen): Rename as ...
301 (%file_added): ... this, and move it close to add_file(), the only
302 function that uses it.
304 * aclocal.in (version): Remove initial blank line and reproduce
305 the layout of automake --version. From Art Haas.
307 * aclocal.in (%file_type, FT_USER, FT_AUTOMAKE_SYSTEM): New variables.
308 (scan_m4_dirs): New function, extracted from ...

312 (write_aclocal): Do not m4_include files that are not of type FT_USER.
313 * tests/dirlist.test: Make sure m4_include is not used for --acdir
316 * tests/defs.in (testaclocaldir): New variable.
317 * tests/aclocal.test: Use it to fix the test. Report from
320 2004-11-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
322 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Fix the invocation of
323 AC_PATH_PROGS to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no interpreter
324 is found (this worked correctly only when a minimal version was
325 passed to AM_PATH_PYTHON). Report from Stepan Kasal.
326 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Define using m4_define_default,
327 so we can easily override the list from the test suite.
328 * tests/python11.test: New file.
329 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add python11.test.
331 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Make clearer that -module
332 should appear explicitly in _LDFLAGS.
334 2004-11-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
336 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correctly recognize --print-ac-dir.
337 * tests/aclocal.test: Check --print-ac-dir and a unknown option.
339 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Fix detection of unexisting default

347 ($default_acdir, $default_dirlist): Remove.
348 (parse_arguments): Populate @user_includes, @automake_includes, and
349 @system_includes instead of filling a unique @dirlist array.
350 ("MAIN"): Adjust to scan m4 files in @user_includes,
351 @automake_includes, and @system_includes.
353 2004-11-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
355 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correct comment. From Akim.
357 2004-11-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
359 * aclocal.in: Use Automake::ChannelDefs, and adjust all output
360 to be done via `fatal', `msg', `verb', or `prog_error'.
361 (version): New function.
362 (parse_arguments): Rewrite using Getopt::Long, call &version, and
363 honor -W and --warning.
365 (trace_used_macros): Do not trace the first arguments of macros
366 for which we do not need it. This caused failures because of
367 unexpected newlines in the output.
368 * doc/automake.texi (aclocal options): Document -W and --warning.
369 * tests/defs.in (ACLOCAL): Always use -Werror, to catch Perl
370 warnings about uninitialized variables.
372 2004-11-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
374 * tests/defs.in: Do not distinguish VERBOSE=x from
375 VERBOSE=anything_but_x, always turn on shell traces.
377 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Make sure $map_traced_defs{$m} exists
378 before using it. Suppress a warning observable in test/acloca16.test.
379 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
381 2004-11-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
383 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Make sure $ENV{'MAKEFLAGS'} exists
384 before inspecting it; this fixes "uninitialized value in
385 concatenation" diagnostics when flock fails.
386 Report from Gary V. Vaughan.
388 * aclocal.in: Use strict and -w. Declare local variables with `my',
389 and get rid of `local'.
390 (scan_m4_files, add_macro): Reindent these functions while we are
393 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
395 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Spelling and grammar corrections
396 from Ralf Wildenhues.
398 2004-10-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
400 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Augment with an example setup.
401 (LTLIBOBJ): Rename as ...
402 (LTLIBOBJS): ... this. Link to LIBOBJS, and mention LTALLOCA.
404 2004-10-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
406 * doc/automake.texi: Untabify, tabs in the examples are poorly
408 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Grep tabs in the manual.
410 * tests/comment8.test: Use $MAKE, not make.
412 2004-10-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
414 * tests/distcom3.test: Typo.
416 2004-10-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
418 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Convenience Libraries): Explain how
419 to force the linker selection.
421 * lib/install-sh: Fix the dirname emulation to ignore trailing
422 slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'. This
423 caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
424 * tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
425 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
427 2004-10-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
429 * automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
430 by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
431 target name. Simplify this function to simply conditionally
432 prepend $U to the given extension.
433 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Hard-code
434 the extension to use. This way Automake won't mistake a program
435 named `foo.la' as a libtool library.
436 * tests/primary3.test: New file.
437 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add primary3.test.
439 2004-10-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
441 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Link to node Extending for examples.
442 (Extending): More comments about install-data-hook vs
443 install-exec-hook, and link to Install.
445 * configure.ac: Export @am_AUTOCONF@.
446 * tests/defs.in (AUTOCONF): Define as @am_AUTOCONF@, not @AUTOCONF@,
447 so the test suite runs `autoconf' and not `missing --run autoconf'.
448 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing
449 to be used in front of autoconf even if the user has exported
450 AUTOCONF. This fixes two spurious failures reported by
453 * lib/compile: Handle output.obj in addition to output.o.
454 * tests/compile.test: Check for this.
456 2004-10-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
458 * doc/automake.texi (Sources): Typo, reported by Karl Berry.
460 2004-10-10 Kelley Cook <kcook@gcc.gnu.org> (tiny change)
461 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

469 * doc/automake.texi (Extending): Typo.
471 2004-10-10 Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> (tiny change)
473 * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): Check dependency tracking mode for CCAS.
474 * automake.in (cppasm): Use the dependency tracking more for CCAS.
475 * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Note that *.S are
476 preprocessed with CPPFLAGS.
478 2004-10-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
480 * automake.in (Languages): Split .s (asm) and .S (cppasm) into
481 separate languages. Make cppasm (Preprocessed Assembler) aware
482 of CPPFLAGS, AM_CPPFLAGS.
483 (handle_languages): Fix typo.
484 (lang_cppasm_rewrite): New function.
486 2004-09-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
488 * tests/subobj9.test: Adjust regexes after previous patch.
490 2004-09-28 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
492 * automake.in (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable): Output
493 Libtool's --tag= option before --mode=compile, because depcomp use
494 --mode=compile as end marker for libtool arguments.
495 (define_linker_variable): Likewise before --mode=link, for
497 * tests/pr307.test: Make sure dependency files are updated. That
498 was not the case because depcomp thought `--tag=CC' was the
499 compiler to get dependencies from.
500 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
502 2004-09-26 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
504 * configure.ac: Require Perl 5.6.
505 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Require Perl 5.6 (not done in
506 lib/Automake/General.pm because it is shared with Autoconf),
507 and use `our' instead of `use vars'.
508 * aclocal.in (rel2abs): Remove.
509 (scan_configure_dep): Use File::Spec->rel2abs instead.
511 * tests/compile.test, tests/instsh2.test, tests/instspc.test: Use
512 two consecutive spaces in filename instead of one, to catch mistake
513 like `echo $val | ...`.

577 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
579 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (_print_message): Handle uniq_part with
581 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Set uniq_part so that the

583 and only once for objects with per-target flags.
585 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Print files and locations
586 for AM_PROG_CC_C_O errors.

610 (handle_single_transform): Pass nonansi_obj to &$subr so
611 lang_c_rewrite can distinguish libtool objects.
612 * tests/libtool7.test: Use subdir-objects without using AM_PROG_CC_C_O.

643 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (new): Precompute 'string' and 'conds'
644 in place instead of as a side-effect of calling ->string and ->conds.
645 This saves method-lookup time, simplify ->string and ->conds, and
646 allows to create the object only when necessary.
647 (string, conds): Simplify, now that the result is precomputed.
649 * automake.in (%am_file_cache): New hash.
650 (make_paragraphs): Cache .am files with comments stripped to save

667 Speed up make_paragraphs.
668 * automake.in (handle_languages): Always define SUBDIROBJ,
669 DERIVED-EXT, and DIST_SOURCE, because the new transform() will
670 abort on unknown tokens.
671 (transform): Rewrite with different semantics.
672 (make_paragraphs): Make a single pass over the paragraph to
673 transform all template tokens instead of doing as much passes as

685 * automake.in (%required_aux_file): New hash.
686 (handle_single_transform, lang_c_rewrite): Do not explicitly
687 require 'compile', this is now an internal detail of
689 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE and fill
691 (scan_autoconf_files): Require all %required_aux_file instead

696 * configure.ac, m4/init.m4: Require Autoconf 2.59a.
697 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.

700 are used with C sources.
701 * m4/minuso.m4: Require `compile' using AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
702 * m4/missing.m4: Require `missing' similarly.

706 tests/specflg9.test, tests/subobj7.test, tests/target-cflags.test,
707 tests/yacc6.test: Fix to use AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
709 2004-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
711 * automake.in (yacc_lex_finish_helper): Fix definition of YLWRAP
712 when ylwrap is installed in a default aux dir found in a parent
714 * tests/subpkg.test: Augment to check that YLWRAP is installed

726 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): ... these.
727 (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan for the latter three macros instead of
729 (make_paragraphs): Adjust definitions of %BUILD%, %HOST%, and %TARGET%.
730 * tests/hosts.test: New file.
731 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hosts.test.
732 Report and test case from Norman Gray.
734 2004-08-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
736 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Update "#Extending%20aclocal" URL, makeinfo

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

769 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
771 2004-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
773 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Remove `.' from the mkdir_p
774 definition, it causes `make install' to fails for user with no
775 right to write in the source-tree.
776 * automake.in (handle_configure): Do not use mkdir_p in the
777 definition for $(mkdir_p).
778 Report from Harlan Stenn.
780 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Typo in comment.
782 2004-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
784 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Typo in example.
785 Report from Ulrich Eckhardt.

798 New upstream versions.
800 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
801 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Use $(X), not ${X}.
803 * tests/installdir.test: installdirs-local should appear three times,
804 since the change from 2004-07-11 will make it PHONY.
806 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Always use $(DIST_SUBDIRS) now
807 that it is always defined. This is less confusing for users
808 reading the generated Makefiles.
809 * automake.in (handle_dist): Do not substitute DIST_SUBDIR_NAME.
811 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
812 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Output .htp, and then rename to .html
813 on success. In case the target is a directory, this ensures its
814 time stamp is updated and the no files are left over inside.
815 * tests/txinfo21.test: Augment to test missing timestamp update
816 reported by Akim Demaille.
818 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Rename as ...

832 * automake.in (target_hook): Accept %transform as last argument.
833 (handle_single_transform): Pass %transform to target_hook.
834 (handle_source_transform): Define DIST_SOURCE to tell whether
835 a the source of a file is distributed or not.
836 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Check DIST_SOURCE, and do not distribute
837 the generated header if the .y source is not distributed.
838 * tests/pr204.test: Use AM_YFLAGS = -d and make sure generated
839 headers are not distributed.
841 2004-07-12 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com> (tiny change)

853 Support for conditionally defined -hook and -local rules.
854 * automake.in (user_phony_rule): New function.
855 (handle_dist, handle_install, handle_all, do_check_merge_target,
856 handle_factored_dependencies): Use user_phony_rule before
857 adding a user -hook or -local rule as a dependency to ensure
858 it is always defined an phony.
859 * tests/cond37.test, tests/condhook.test: New files.
860 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
861 Report from Simon Josefsson and Nik A. Melchior.
863 2004-07-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
865 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Warn that you should create
866 /tmp/staging before installing into it, to avoid security problems.
867 * lib/install-sh: Remove support for -b= and -t= options; this
868 has been moribund for a decade.
869 Add support for -t and -T options (new in coreutils install).
870 -c option now does nothing (the default is to copy), for
871 compatibility with BSD and coreutils 'install'.
872 Fix usage message; it referred to nonexistent variables.
873 Don't assume 'lasterr' is unset in environment.
874 * tests/instsh2.test: Don't assume that install-sh without -c
875 moves (it now copies). Add tests for new -t and -T options.
877 2004-06-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
879 For Debian Bug#254372:
880 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Rewrite the paragraph
881 explaining m4_include is used for relative files.
883 2004-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
885 For Debian Bug #251820:
886 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Keep track of the location where each
887 file is included, and display it when reporting a missing file.
888 Pass this location to scan_file as a second argument.
889 (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_file.
890 * tests/acloca14.test: Add a test for this diagnostic.
892 2004-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
894 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Split the definition of $_am_tools
895 so it works with Solaris and Tru64 /bin/sh.
896 Report from Nicolas Joly.
898 2004-06-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
900 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Introduce $_am_tools to work around a
901 bug in NetBSD /bin/sh.
902 Report from Nicolas Joly.
904 2004-06-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
906 * tests/defs.in (required=icc): Use `-V -help' instead of
907 `-V -dryrun'. icc 8.0 fails on the latter.
908 * tests/depcomp5.test: Require depmode=icc for icc 7.x, and
909 depmod=gcc otherwise.
910 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
912 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Do no
913 `rm -f $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' if `$(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' is empty.
914 Report from Nicolas Joly.
916 2004-05-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
918 * NEWS: Make clearer that we do not output partial Makefile.ins on
920 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
922 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Use $dir$base.o.d instead
923 of $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Libtool 1.5 causes both to be output,
924 and we will clean the second automatically during distclean.
925 Using the latter and leaving the former as we did before cause
926 "files left in build directory" failures during distcheck.
927 Suggested by Nicolas Joly.
929 * doc/automake.texi (Built sources example): Explain what
930 nodist_foo_SOURCES is (not) useful to, and use it in all the
932 (Tags): Mention nodist_noinst_HEADERS and nodist_prog_SOURCES.
933 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
935 2004-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
937 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8c.
939 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8b.
941 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR) <cpio>: Specify -o and -i option first,
942 by POSIX; and use option -d in am_untar.
944 * tests/defs.in (PATH): Export it.
946 * lib/am/multilib.am: Add $(MAKE) comments to multido and
947 multiclean lines, to enable parallel make. Based on a patch
948 by Alexandre Oliva applied to newlib on 2003-10-15.
950 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
952 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for LT_SUPPORTED_TAG
953 instead of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, since that how CVS Libtool has been
955 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not grep for --tag=CC, since CVS
956 Libtool (unlike Libtool 1.5) does not has any CC tag.
958 * tests/tar2.test: Skip the test if no pax archiver were found.
960 * NEWS: Sync with branch-1-8, and reorganize current entry.
962 * automake.in (handle_libraries): Make the diagnostic about
963 non standard libraries a warning in foreign packages. This
964 is already the case in handle_ltlibraries.
965 (handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Suggest a standard
966 library name in the diagnostic, to help newcomers.
967 * tests/stdlib.test, tests/stdlib2.test: Check for these
970 Check directory names for unportable names. Shaking the code
971 to check this also led to the removal of the no-"/"-in-SUBDIRS
972 restriction, and a fix to _do_recursive_traversal.
974 * automake.in (check_directory): New function extracted from
975 handle_subdirs, and augmented to check for reserved W32/DOS name.
976 (check_directories_in_var): New function.
977 (handle_subdirs): Call check_directories_in_var. Doing so also
978 suppress the restriction that SUBDIRS should not contain slashes.
979 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR>: Call check_directory
980 to ensure the argument exists and is safe.
981 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Do not say that src/subdir
982 cannot be put in SUBDIRS.
983 (Dist): Mention that distdir and top_distdir can be absolute.
984 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_do_recursive_traversal) Support
985 undefined $fun_collect, and fix two bugs introduced with
986 skip_ac_subst on 2004-03-07.
987 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Use absolute distdir and
988 top_distdir when recursing, because we can no longer prepend only
989 `..' in case of SUBDIRS with `/'.
990 * tests/auxdir4.test, tests/subdir9.test: New files.
991 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add auxdir4.test.
992 * tests/cond2.test, tests/subdir7.test: Augment to check location
995 2004-05-21 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> (tiny changes)
997 * tests/txinfo22.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Use aux1, not aux, for
998 cygwin compatibility.
999 * tests/yacc6.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Likewise.
1001 * tests/conflnk3.test: Isolate checking for working `test -e' into
1002 a subshell, to skip this test on broken /bin/sh of solaris.
1004 2004-05-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1006 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITIONAL): Double-quote diagnostic.
1007 * tests/condd.test: Define a macro with the same name as a
1009 * tests/pr220.test: Modernize, and make sure the diagnostics
1010 contains the macro name.
1011 Report from Volker Boerchers.
1013 2004-05-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1015 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
1017 2004-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1019 * automake.in (handle_dist): Always define DIST_SUBDIRS, even when
1020 the no-dist or cygnus options are used.
1021 * tests/clean2.test: New file.
1022 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add clean2.test.
1023 Report from Daniel Jacobowitz.
1025 * aclocal.in (add_macro): Do not error out on undefined required
1026 macros. We are not sure they are really used, and Autoconf
1027 already diagnoses them.
1028 (scan_configure_dep): Diagnose missing AM_ macros as warnings rather
1030 * tests/aclocal3.test, tests/ammissing.test: Adjust to expect a
1031 warning instead of an error.
1032 * tests/aclocal8.test: AC_REQUIRE an undefined macro in an unused
1033 macro, and ensure aclocal works anyway.
1034 * tests/acloca17.test: New file.
1035 * tests/error.test: Delete, superseded by tests/acloca17.test.
1036 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca17.test and remove error.test.
1037 Report from Jim Meyering.
1039 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?!GENERIC_INFO?%DEST_INFO_PREFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1040 Fold a few lines to reduce the output by 5 lines.
1041 Suggested by Karl Berry.

1050 * lib/am/libs.am (AR, ARFLAGS): Move these definition ...
1051 * automake.in (handle_libraries): ... here, so that they are
1052 output even for EXTRA_LIBRARIES.
1053 * tests/ar2.test: New file.
1054 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1055 Report from Kevin Ryde.

1066 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1068 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Remove
1069 doubled word in footnote.
1071 * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Also check for a

1074 * tests/ltlibsrc.test (noinst_LTLIBRARIES): Explicitly refer to
1075 $(srcdir)/zoo_d_old2_la.c. This fixes another failure with BSD Make.
1077 2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1079 * Makefile.am (fetch): Work even with FreeBSD "make", which
1080 uses sh -e and thus errors-out if a simple-command fails.

1087 * tests/lex3.test, tests/yacc6.test: Require GNU Make.
1088 Fixing these for BSD Make requires invasive changes (lexers and
1089 parsers must be built into $srcdir, and--most annoyingly--all
1090 references to parse.h must be changed to $(srcdir)/parse.h).

1540 Report from Ralf Corsepius.
1542 * automake.in (handle_configure): Skip AC_CONFIG_LINKS items which
1543 do not look like DEST:SRC.
1544 * tests/conflnk3.test: Check for AC_CONFIG_LINKS($computed).
1546 2004-01-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1548 Fix for PR automake/289:
1549 * automake.in (Automake::Struct::libtool_tag): New attribute. Define
1550 it for the language that have a Libtool tag.
1551 (%libtool_tags): New variable.
1552 (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable)
1553 (define_linker_variable): Pass --tag=XXX to libtool if supported.
1554 (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan for _LT_AC_TAGCONFIG and AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS.
1555 * tests/libtool3.test, tests/subobj9.test: Check that --tag=XXX is
1558 2003-01-07 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> (tiny change)
1560 * lib/am/configure.am (am__CONFIG_DISTCLEAN_FILES): Add
1561 config.status.lineno.
1563 2004-01-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> (tiny change)
1565 * doc/automake.texi (Rebuilding): Typo.
1567 2004-01-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1569 * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Really add inst-vars.am.
1571 2004-01-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1573 * THANKS: Add Bruce Korb.
1575 2004-01-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1577 Mimic Paul Eggert's changes to Autoconf.
1578 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Use `chmod a-w', not `chmod -w'.
1579 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (Config.pm): Likewise.
1580 * m4/Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/m4/amversion.m4): Likewise.
1582 * lib/am/inst-vars.am: New file, define am__vpath_adj_setup,
1583 am__vpath_adj, and am__strip_dir.
1584 * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Add inst-vars.am.
1585 * lib/am/data.am, lib/am/lisp.am, lib/am/python.am,
1586 lib/am/scripts.am: Include inst-vars.am, and use $(am__vpath_adj),
1587 $(am__vpath_adj_setup), and $(am__strip_dir) in install and
1588 uninstall rules. This fixes installation of nobase_ files in
1589 VPATH setups with Sun and OSF1/Tru64 Make.
1590 * lib/am/libs.am, lib/am/ltlib.am: Include inst-vars.am, and use

1592 * tests/nobase.test: Augment to check installation from VPATH builds.
1594 * automake.in (%transformed_files): New variable.

1602 2004-01-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1604 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
1606 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Do not use `-m 0755'. This overrides special bits
1607 and break setups where 775 directories are expected. Just obey
1608 umask as we did in the past.
1609 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1611 2004-01-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1613 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Do not compare $outfile to ''
1614 as $outfile might not be defined at all.
1616 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Rework the way we check
1617 Automake variable definition. Ensure consistent :=/+=/=
1618 definitions only for variables that have been and are defined by
1619 Automake, and make it an internal error. Ignore Automake
1620 attempts to touch a user variable, even with += assignments.
1621 * tests/txinfo29.test: New file.
1622 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo29.test.
1623 Reported by Bruce Korb.

1627 * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Don't generate dist
1628 variables when no-dist is set.
1629 (generate_makefile): Likewise.
1630 * tests/nodist3.test: Ensure that DIST_SOURCES is not created,
1631 and that dist target does not exist.
1632 Reported by Tom Fitzsimmons.
1634 2004-01-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1636 * tests/libtool5.test, tests/ltcond.test, tests/ltcond2.test,
1637 * tests/ltconv.test: Run automake with --add-missing, because
1638 the CVS version of libtoolize no longer install config.sub and
1639 config.guess by default.
1641 Fix for PR automake/319:
1642 * aclocal.in (scan_m4_files): Scan configure.ac.
1643 (trace_used_macros, write_aclocal): Remove configure.ac from the
1644 list of files to include.
1645 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca15.test.
1646 * tests/acloca15.test: New file.
1648 * aclocal.in (%file_includes): New variable.
1649 (scan_configure_dep): Compile $m4_include_rx and $ac_require_rx once.
1650 (scan_file): Scan for included files, and process these files
1651 recursively. Fill %file_includes and %file_contents. Return the
1652 list of included files, not the contents.
1653 (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_files.
1654 (strip_redundant_includes): New function.
1655 (trace_used_macros): Call it.
1656 (write_aclocal): Likewise. Also check the mtime of included files.
1657 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca14.test.
1658 * tests/acloca14.test: New file.
1659 Report from Phil Edwards.
1661 2004-01-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1663 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define DEP_FILES.
1664 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Extract included
1665 files with $(DEPDIR) in their name instead of DEP_FILES.
1666 * tests/depend.test, tests/depend4.test, tests/exsource.test:
1668 Suggested by Tom Tromey.
1670 Do not output .lo rules for programs and static libraries objects,
1671 and do not output .o/.obj rules for libtool libraries. This is
1672 about explicit rules only, not inference rules.
1673 * automake.in (handle_single_transform_list): Rename as ...
1674 (handle_single_transform): ... this. Take a single file
1675 to transform (it was only called this way) and accept a new
1676 %transform argument. Fill %lang_specific_files with list
1677 references instead of strings, and append %transform to each
1679 (define_objects_from_sources, handle_source_transform):
1680 Take a %transform argument, and forward it to &handle_single_transform.
1681 (handle_languages): Adjust to the new format of
1682 %lang_specific_files, and honor its %transform part.
1683 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Override
1684 %NONLIBTOOL% and %LIBTOOL% while calling handle_source_transform.
1685 (make_paragraphs): Define %NONLIBTOOL% by default. Make sure
1686 %transform settings override global settings.
1687 * lib/am/depend2.am (%OBJ%, %OBJOBJ%): Define only if %NONLIBTOOL%.
1688 * tests/libtool3.test: Augment to check Makefile.ins for unneeded
1690 Suggested by Thomas Fitzsimmons.
1692 * automake.in, aclocal.in: Bump copyright years.
