3 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
4 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
5 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
6 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.

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

21 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
23 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
24 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
25 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
27 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
29 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
30 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
31 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
32 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
33 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
34 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

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

60 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
61 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
62 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
63 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
65 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
67 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test

72 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
74 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
75 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
76 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
77 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
78 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
79 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
82 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
84 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
86 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
87 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
88 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
90 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
92 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
93 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
94 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
95 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
96 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.

106 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
107 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
108 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
109 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)

113 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
115 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
116 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
117 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
118 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.

120 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
121 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

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

150 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
151 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
152 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
153 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.

158 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
160 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
162 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
163 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
164 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
165 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
166 uselessly run it in a subshell.
167 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
168 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
169 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
171 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
173 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
174 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
175 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
176 Makefile.in stricter.
177 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
178 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
180 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
181 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
182 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
183 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
184 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
185 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
186 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
187 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
188 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
189 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
190 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
191 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
192 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
193 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
194 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
195 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
196 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
197 so they have been moved ...
198 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
199 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
200 trailing `:' command.
201 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
202 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
203 append to configure.in.
204 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
205 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
206 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
207 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
208 minor cosmetic improvements.
209 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
210 trailing `:' command.
211 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.

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

239 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
240 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.

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

381 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
382 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
383 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
384 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
385 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
386 tests that force gcc depmode.
387 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
388 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
389 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
390 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

511 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
513 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
514 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
515 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
516 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
517 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
518 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
519 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
520 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
522 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
524 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
525 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
526 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
527 are not part of the Automake API.
529 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
531 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
532 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
533 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
535 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
537 Rebuild menus in the manual.
538 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
539 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
541 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.

552 Found by NixOS Hydra.
554 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
556 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
557 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
558 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
559 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
560 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
561 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
562 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
563 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
564 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
565 Reported by Andy Wingo.

570 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
571 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
572 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
573 of test `vala2.test'.
575 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
577 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
578 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
579 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
581 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
582 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
583 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
585 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
586 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
587 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
588 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.

615 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
616 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."

622 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
624 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
625 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
626 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',

636 are expanded before rules.
637 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
638 get matched as a rule.

641 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
643 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
644 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,

662 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
663 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
664 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
665 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
666 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
667 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
668 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
669 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
670 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
671 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
672 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the

706 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
707 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
708 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion

731 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
732 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
733 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
734 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
737 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
739 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
741 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
743 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
744 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site

789 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
790 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'

797 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
799 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
800 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
801 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
803 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".

805 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
806 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
808 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
809 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
810 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
811 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
812 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'

933 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
934 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
935 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
936 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

948 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
949 and add a "FIXME" comment.
950 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
951 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
952 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
953 `configure.in'; also, use the `configure.in' stub created by

983 * tests/condhook.test: Make sure target `install-data-hook' is
984 not called by `make install', but that data files are installed.
985 Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in. Add trailing `:' command.
986 * tests/condhook2.test: New test, sister test of condhook, with
988 * tests/condinc2.test: Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in.

991 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
992 * tests/condman.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless
993 dummy manpages, and use proper m4 quoting in configure.in.

1044 stub preset be ./defs.
1045 * tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
1046 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.

1072 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1073 Add a trailing `:' command.
1074 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1075 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1076 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1077 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1078 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1079 trailing `:' command.
1080 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in

1099 Separate failing part of test `all.test'.
1100 * tests/all.test: Keep only (x)failing part of the test. Working

1124 `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion
1125 of ./defs). Do not create useless dummy ac-init file `f'.
1126 * tests/subobj7.test: Do not create useless dummy ac-init file
1128 (configure.in): Use the stub created by `./defs', rather than
1129 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.
1130 * tests/subobj9.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1131 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1132 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1133 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1134 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1135 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1136 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1153 `eval' builtin. Fixed a botched error message. Removed an
1156 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1157 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1158 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1160 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
1161 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.

1220 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
1223 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1224 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1243 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1244 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.

1246 `subdir5.test' here).
1247 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1251 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1252 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
1253 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
1254 autoconf/automake macros.
1256 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1257 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1258 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1259 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the

1286 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1288 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1289 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1290 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1291 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1292 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1293 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1294 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1296 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1297 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1298 writing one from scratch.

1310 home page and GNU general help page.
1311 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.

1332 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1333 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1334 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1335 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1336 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1337 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1338 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1352 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1353 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1354 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1356 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1358 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause

1371 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1372 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1373 declaration, to please compilers.
1375 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1377 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1378 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1379 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1380 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1381 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1382 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1385 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1386 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1387 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1388 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still

1407 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1408 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1410 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1411 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1412 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1413 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1414 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1415 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1416 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.

1456 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1457 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1458 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1459 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1460 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1461 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1462 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1463 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1465 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1466 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1467 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1468 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1469 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1470 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
1471 * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
1472 make's output, and make its grepping slightly stricter.

1480 Modernize, improve and/or fix tests `pluseq*.test.
1481 * tests/pluseq5.test: Append to configure.in using cat with an
1482 here-doc, not using echo.
1483 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1484 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1485 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1486 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1488 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1489 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.
1490 * tests/pluseq2.test: Likewise. Also, append to configure.in
1491 using cat with an here-doc, not using echo.

1499 Testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured stderr.
1500 * tests/acloca18.test: Print captured stderr before either failing
1501 or grepping it. Be sure to send captured stderr to stderr, not to

1515 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1516 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
1518 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1519 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1521 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.
1522 * tests/backsl.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

1531 * tests/canon3.test: Likewise. Also, avoid to create an useless
1533 * tests/acoutpt2.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and some
1534 related changes. Do some cosmetic improvements in the generated
1535 `configure.in' file.

1537 * tests/cond14.test: Likewise.
1538 * tests/condinc.test: Likewise.
1539 * tests/cond7.test: Likewise. Also, remove useless setting of
1540 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am.
1541 * tests/ansi.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1542 changes. Extended, esp. by running autoconf, ./configure and
1543 make, and by looking into the distdir.

1546 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1548 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1549 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1550 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1551 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1553 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1555 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1556 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
1559 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
1560 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
1561 improvement to comments.
1562 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1563 Prepend it to all error messages.
1565 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1566 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1567 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1568 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1569 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1570 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1572 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1574 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1575 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1576 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1577 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1578 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1579 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1580 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1581 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1582 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1583 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1584 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1585 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1586 rather than in the middle.
1587 * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
1588 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1589 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.

1591 plain `mv', just to be sure.
1592 * tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1593 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
1594 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'

1598 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
1599 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
1600 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1601 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1602 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1603 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1604 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1605 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1606 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1608 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1609 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1627 command substitution.
1628 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1629 command substitution.
1630 * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1631 in the generated `configure.in'.
1632 * tests/version2.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1633 in the generated `configure.in'.
1635 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1637 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
1638 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
1639 the verbose log contains all output.
1640 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1641 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1643 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1645 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

1655 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1657 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1658 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1659 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1660 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1661 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1662 known extension EXT.
1664 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1734 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1736 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1737 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1738 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1739 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1740 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
1741 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
1742 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1744 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1748 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1750 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1751 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1752 output produced by `make'.
1753 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1755 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1756 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1757 output produced by `make'.
1758 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1759 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1760 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1761 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1762 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1764 Improved test silent5.test.
1765 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1766 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1767 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1768 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1769 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1770 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1772 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1773 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1774 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1775 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1777 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
1778 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
1779 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1781 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1782 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1783 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1785 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1786 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1787 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1789 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1790 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1791 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1792 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
1793 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

1799 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1801 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1802 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1803 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1804 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1806 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1807 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1808 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1809 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1810 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1811 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1812 dependencies are enabled.
1813 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1814 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1815 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1816 dependency tracking.
1817 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1818 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1819 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1821 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1823 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1824 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1825 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1826 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1827 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1829 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1831 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1832 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1833 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1834 double-quotes and backquotes.
1836 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1838 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1840 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1841 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1842 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1843 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1844 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1845 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1846 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1849 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1851 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1852 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1853 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1855 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1856 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1857 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1860 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1862 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1863 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1864 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1866 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1867 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1868 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1870 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1871 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1872 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1873 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1874 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1876 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1879 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1880 missing closing parenthesis.
1882 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1883 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1884 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1886 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1888 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1889 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1892 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1894 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1895 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1896 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1897 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1900 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1902 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1903 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1904 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1905 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1906 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1908 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1909 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1910 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1912 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1913 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1914 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1915 Also, bumped copyright years.
1917 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1919 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1920 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1921 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1923 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1924 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1925 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1926 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1928 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1930 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1931 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1932 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1933 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1934 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1935 cause the whole test to fail.
1937 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1939 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1940 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1941 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1943 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1945 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1946 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1947 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1948 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1950 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1952 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1953 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1955 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1956 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1959 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1961 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1962 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1963 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1964 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1965 and unstable exit status values.
1966 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1967 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of

2004 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2005 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2006 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
