274 2004-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
276 * install-sh: Use `(exit N); exit N', not `(exit N); exit'.
277 Otherwise, install-sh could exit with improper exit status when

334 2004-12-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
336 * lib/mdate-sh: Don't use "set - x`$ls_command /`", as zsh mishandles
337 the spaces inside $ls_command. Problem reported by Loulou Pouchet in
338 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-12/msg00074.html>.
339 Don't use "set - x"; plain "set x" is enough, and simplifies debugging.
341 2004-12-05 Toshio Kuratomi <toshio@tiki-lounge.com>

402 * lib/am/scripts.am (installcheck-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Likewise for scripts.
403 * tests/gnits2.test: Change scriptnok.sh to cat its input.

433 passed to AM_PATH_PYTHON). Report from Stepan Kasal.

465 2004-11-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
467 * aclocal.in: Use Automake::ChannelDefs, and adjust all output
468 to be done via `fatal', `msg', `verb', or `prog_error'.
469 (version): New function.
470 (parse_arguments): Rewrite using Getopt::Long, call &version, and
471 honor -W and --warning.
473 (trace_used_macros): Do not trace the first arguments of macros

486 before using it. Suppress a warning observable in test/acloca16.test.
487 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
489 2004-11-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
491 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Make sure $ENV{'MAKEFLAGS'} exists
492 before inspecting it; this fixes "uninitialized value in
493 concatenation" diagnostics when flock fails.
494 Report from Gary V. Vaughan.

530 slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'. This
531 caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
532 * tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
533 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
535 2004-10-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
537 * automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
538 by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
539 target name. Simplify this function to simply conditionally
540 prepend $U to the given extension.
541 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Hard-code
542 the extension to use. This way Automake won't mistake a program
543 named `foo.la' as a libtool library.
544 * tests/primary3.test: New file.
545 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add primary3.test.
547 2004-10-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
549 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Link to node Extending for examples.
550 (Extending): More comments about install-data-hook vs
551 install-exec-hook, and link to Install.
553 * configure.ac: Export @am_AUTOCONF@.
554 * tests/defs.in (AUTOCONF): Define as @am_AUTOCONF@, not @AUTOCONF@,
555 so the test suite runs `autoconf' and not `missing --run autoconf'.
556 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing
557 to be used in front of autoconf even if the user has exported
558 AUTOCONF. This fixes two spurious failures reported by
561 * lib/compile: Handle output.obj in addition to output.o.
562 * tests/compile.test: Check for this.
564 2004-10-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
566 * doc/automake.texi (Sources): Typo, reported by Karl Berry.
568 2004-10-10 Kelley Cook <kcook@gcc.gnu.org> (tiny change)

577 * doc/automake.texi (Extending): Typo.
579 2004-10-10 Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> (tiny change)
581 * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): Check dependency tracking mode for CCAS.
582 * automake.in (cppasm): Use the dependency tracking more for CCAS.
583 * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Note that *.S are
584 preprocessed with CPPFLAGS.
586 2004-10-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
588 * automake.in (Languages): Split .s (asm) and .S (cppasm) into
589 separate languages. Make cppasm (Preprocessed Assembler) aware
590 of CPPFLAGS, AM_CPPFLAGS.
591 (handle_languages): Fix typo.
592 (lang_cppasm_rewrite): New function.
594 2004-09-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
596 * tests/subobj9.test: Adjust regexes after previous patch.
598 2004-09-28 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
600 * automake.in (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable): Output
601 Libtool's --tag= option before --mode=compile, because depcomp use
602 --mode=compile as end marker for libtool arguments.
603 (define_linker_variable): Likewise before --mode=link, for
605 * tests/pr307.test: Make sure dependency files are updated. That
606 was not the case because depcomp thought `--tag=CC' was the
607 compiler to get dependencies from.
608 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
610 2004-09-26 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
612 * configure.ac: Require Perl 5.6.
613 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Require Perl 5.6 (not done in
614 lib/Automake/General.pm because it is shared with Autoconf),
615 and use `our' instead of `use vars'.
616 * aclocal.in (rel2abs): Remove.
617 (scan_configure_dep): Use File::Spec->rel2abs instead.
619 * tests/compile.test, tests/instsh2.test, tests/instspc.test: Use
620 two consecutive spaces in filename instead of one, to catch mistake
621 like `echo $val | ...`.
622 * tests/README: Suggest this.
623 Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
625 2004-09-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
627 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Document -local targets.

670 inline dependency tracking with gcc3.
672 * doc/automake.texi (History): New node.
673 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): New node, filled with a Texinfo
674 version of Tom Tromey's ``Dependency Tracking in Automake''
675 document, initially published on the Automake homepage on
678 2004-09-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
680 * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Make sure AC_PROG_CC is never
681 called after this macro.
682 * tests/distname.test, tests/subdir5.test, tests/subdir8.test,
683 tests/subobj.test, tests/subobj4.test, tests/subobj5.test,
684 tests/subobj6.test: Adjust.
685 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
687 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (_print_message): Handle uniq_part with
689 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Set uniq_part so that the
690 AM_PROG_CC_C_O diagnostic is output only once for subdir objects
691 and only once for objects with per-target flags.
693 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Print files and locations
694 for AM_PROG_CC_C_O errors.
695 (handle_single_transform): Pass $var to &$subr so it can
698 * lib/compile, lib/elisp-comp, lib/install-sh, lib/ylwrap: Use $ret
699 instead of $status which is read-only in Zsh.
701 2004-09-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
702 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
704 * lib/compile: Preserve spaces in arguments (for example

713 maintainer-clean-generic.
714 Report from Bob Friesenhahn.
716 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Do not require AM_PROG_CC_C_O for
718 (handle_single_transform): Pass nonansi_obj to &$subr so
719 lang_c_rewrite can distinguish libtool objects.
720 * tests/libtool7.test: Use subdir-objects without using AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
721 Report from Gary V. Vaughan and Patrick Welche.
723 2004-09-07 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
725 * automake.in ($PATH_PATTERN): Add `+'.
727 2004-09-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
729 * tests/missing3.test: New file (check for Paolo's change below).
730 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add missing3.test.
732 2004-09-07 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
734 * missing: Handle all command line options together. Add a
735 separate case statement to detect failed runs, and fail
736 silently there if --help or --version is passed to the program.
738 2004-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
740 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.

746 * lib/am/yacc.am [!%?MORE-THAN-ONE%]: Replace `#line's in y.tab.h too.
747 * tests/yacc7.test: Check this.
749 2004-08-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
751 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (new): Precompute 'string' and 'conds'
752 in place instead of as a side-effect of calling ->string and ->conds.
753 This saves method-lookup time, simplify ->string and ->conds, and
754 allows to create the object only when necessary.
755 (string, conds): Simplify, now that the result is precomputed.
757 * automake.in (%am_file_cache): New hash.
758 (make_paragraphs): Cache .am files with comments stripped to save
759 some useless input and substitutions.

773 2004-08-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
775 Speed up make_paragraphs.
776 * automake.in (handle_languages): Always define SUBDIROBJ,
777 DERIVED-EXT, and DIST_SOURCE, because the new transform() will
778 abort on unknown tokens.
779 (transform): Rewrite with different semantics.
780 (make_paragraphs): Make a single pass over the paragraph to
781 transform all template tokens instead of doing as much passes as
784 * automake.in ($libtool_new_api): New variable.
785 (handle_libtool): Do not libtool's aux files if $libtool_new_api.
786 (scan_autoconf_traces) <LT_SUPPORTED_TAG>: Set $libtool_new_api.
787 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE>: Remember only the
788 first location for required files.
790 2004-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
792 Support AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE, and fix requirement of AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
793 * automake.in (%required_aux_file): New hash.
794 (handle_single_transform, lang_c_rewrite): Do not explicitly
795 require 'compile', this is now an internal detail of
797 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE and fill
799 (scan_autoconf_files): Require all %required_aux_file instead
800 of explicitly requiring install-sh and missing.

802 (handle_single_transform): Pass $have_per_exec_flags to
804 * configure.ac, m4/init.m4: Require Autoconf 2.59a.
805 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
806 (Program and Library Variables, Options, Public macros):

808 are used with C sources.
809 * m4/minuso.m4: Require `compile' using AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
810 * m4/missing.m4: Require `missing' similarly.
811 * tests/acsubst2.test, tests/distcom2.test, tests/distcom6.test,
812 tests/specflg.test, tests/specflg2.test, tests/specflg3.test,
813 tests/specflg6.test, tests/specflg7.test, tests/specflg8.test,
814 tests/specflg9.test, tests/subobj7.test, tests/target-cflags.test,
815 tests/yacc6.test: Fix to use AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
817 2004-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
819 * automake.in (yacc_lex_finish_helper): Fix definition of YLWRAP
820 when ylwrap is installed in a default aux dir found in a parent
822 * tests/subpkg.test: Augment to check that YLWRAP is installed
824 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): ylwrap is not sought is the
826 Report from Norman Gray.
828 2004-08-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
830 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Update documentation for
831 AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET.
833 * automake.in (AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): Replace by ...
834 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): ... these.
835 (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan for the latter three macros instead of
837 (make_paragraphs): Adjust definitions of %BUILD%, %HOST%, and %TARGET%.
838 * tests/hosts.test: New file.
839 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hosts.test.
840 Report and test case from Norman Gray.
842 2004-08-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
844 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Update "#Extending%20aclocal" URL, makeinfo

850 Disable Lex and Yacc rules whenever possible if AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
851 is used and maintainer-mode disabled.
852 * automake.in (Automake::struct): Define nodist_specific.
853 Set it in languages yacc, yaccxx, lex, and lexxx.
854 (register_language): Default nodist_specific to 0.
855 (handle_single_transform): Honor nodist_specific.
856 * lib/am/yacc.am (am__skipyacc): Define this in maintainer mode.
857 (%EXT%%DERIVED-EXT%, %OBJ%): Use $(am__skipyacc) to disable these

865 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): ADd mmodely.test.
866 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Note dependence on maintainer mode.

874 * automake.in (generate_makefile): Update misleading comment about
877 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
879 2004-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
881 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Remove `.' from the mkdir_p
882 definition, it causes `make install' to fails for user with no
883 right to write in the source-tree.
884 * automake.in (handle_configure): Do not use mkdir_p in the
885 definition for $(mkdir_p).
886 Report from Harlan Stenn.
888 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Typo in comment.
890 2004-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
892 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Typo in example.
893 Report from Ulrich Eckhardt.
895 2004-07-21 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de> (tiny change)
897 * automake.in (check_directory): Quote $dir in regexp.
899 2004-07-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
901 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8e.

905 * lib/config-ml.in, lib/config.sub, lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex:
906 New upstream versions.
908 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
909 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Use $(X), not ${X}.
911 * tests/installdir.test: installdirs-local should appear three times,
912 since the change from 2004-07-11 will make it PHONY.
914 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Always use $(DIST_SUBDIRS) now
915 that it is always defined. This is less confusing for users
916 reading the generated Makefiles.
917 * automake.in (handle_dist): Do not substitute DIST_SUBDIR_NAME.
919 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
920 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Output .htp, and then rename to .html
921 on success. In case the target is a directory, this ensures its
922 time stamp is updated and the no files are left over inside.
923 * tests/txinfo21.test: Augment to test missing timestamp update
924 reported by Akim Demaille.
926 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Rename as ...
927 (Directories): ... this, and split into ...
928 (Subdirectories, Conditional Subdirectories): ... these.
929 (Subdirectories): Illustrate the use of `.'.

940 * automake.in (target_hook): Accept %transform as last argument.
941 (handle_single_transform): Pass %transform to target_hook.
942 (handle_source_transform): Define DIST_SOURCE to tell whether
943 a the source of a file is distributed or not.
944 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Check DIST_SOURCE, and do not distribute
945 the generated header if the .y source is not distributed.
946 * tests/pr204.test: Use AM_YFLAGS = -d and make sure generated
947 headers are not distributed.
949 2004-07-12 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com> (tiny change)

963 (handle_dist, handle_install, handle_all, do_check_merge_target,
964 handle_factored_dependencies): Use user_phony_rule before
965 adding a user -hook or -local rule as a dependency to ensure
966 it is always defined an phony.
967 * tests/cond37.test, tests/condhook.test: New files.
968 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
969 Report from Simon Josefsson and Nik A. Melchior.
971 2004-07-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
973 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Warn that you should create
974 /tmp/staging before installing into it, to avoid security problems.
975 * lib/install-sh: Remove support for -b= and -t= options; this
976 has been moribund for a decade.
977 Add support for -t and -T options (new in coreutils install).
978 -c option now does nothing (the default is to copy), for
979 compatibility with BSD and coreutils 'install'.
980 Fix usage message; it referred to nonexistent variables.
981 Don't assume 'lasterr' is unset in environment.
982 * tests/instsh2.test: Don't assume that install-sh without -c
983 moves (it now copies). Add tests for new -t and -T options.
985 2004-06-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
987 For Debian Bug#254372:
988 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Rewrite the paragraph
989 explaining m4_include is used for relative files.
991 2004-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
993 For Debian Bug #251820:
994 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Keep track of the location where each
995 file is included, and display it when reporting a missing file.
996 Pass this location to scan_file as a second argument.
997 (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_file.
998 * tests/acloca14.test: Add a test for this diagnostic.
1000 2004-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1002 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Split the definition of $_am_tools
1003 so it works with Solaris and Tru64 /bin/sh.
1004 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1006 2004-06-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1008 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Introduce $_am_tools to work around a
1009 bug in NetBSD /bin/sh.
1010 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1012 2004-06-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1014 * tests/defs.in (required=icc): Use `-V -help' instead of
1015 `-V -dryrun'. icc 8.0 fails on the latter.
1016 * tests/depcomp5.test: Require depmode=icc for icc 7.x, and
1017 depmod=gcc otherwise.
1018 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1020 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Do no
1021 `rm -f $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' if `$(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' is empty.
1022 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1024 2004-05-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1026 * NEWS: Make clearer that we do not output partial Makefile.ins on
1028 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1030 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Use $dir$base.o.d instead
1031 of $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Libtool 1.5 causes both to be output,
1032 and we will clean the second automatically during distclean.
1033 Using the latter and leaving the former as we did before cause
1034 "files left in build directory" failures during distcheck.
1035 Suggested by Nicolas Joly.
1037 * doc/automake.texi (Built sources example): Explain what
1038 nodist_foo_SOURCES is (not) useful to, and use it in all the
1040 (Tags): Mention nodist_noinst_HEADERS and nodist_prog_SOURCES.
1041 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1043 2004-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1045 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8c.
1047 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8b.
1049 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR) <cpio>: Specify -o and -i option first,
1050 by POSIX; and use option -d in am_untar.
1052 * tests/defs.in (PATH): Export it.
1054 * lib/am/multilib.am: Add $(MAKE) comments to multido and
1055 multiclean lines, to enable parallel make. Based on a patch
1056 by Alexandre Oliva applied to newlib on 2003-10-15.
1058 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1060 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for LT_SUPPORTED_TAG
1061 instead of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, since that how CVS Libtool has been
1063 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not grep for --tag=CC, since CVS
1064 Libtool (unlike Libtool 1.5) does not has any CC tag.
1066 * tests/tar2.test: Skip the test if no pax archiver were found.
1068 * NEWS: Sync with branch-1-8, and reorganize current entry.
1070 * automake.in (handle_libraries): Make the diagnostic about
1071 non standard libraries a warning in foreign packages. This
1072 is already the case in handle_ltlibraries.
1073 (handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Suggest a standard
1074 library name in the diagnostic, to help newcomers.
1075 * tests/stdlib.test, tests/stdlib2.test: Check for these
1078 Check directory names for unportable names. Shaking the code
1079 to check this also led to the removal of the no-"/"-in-SUBDIRS
1080 restriction, and a fix to _do_recursive_traversal.
1082 * automake.in (check_directory): New function extracted from
1083 handle_subdirs, and augmented to check for reserved W32/DOS name.
1084 (check_directories_in_var): New function.
1085 (handle_subdirs): Call check_directories_in_var. Doing so also
1086 suppress the restriction that SUBDIRS should not contain slashes.
1087 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR>: Call check_directory
1088 to ensure the argument exists and is safe.
1089 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Do not say that src/subdir
1090 cannot be put in SUBDIRS.
1091 (Dist): Mention that distdir and top_distdir can be absolute.
1092 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_do_recursive_traversal) Support
1093 undefined $fun_collect, and fix two bugs introduced with
1094 skip_ac_subst on 2004-03-07.
1095 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Use absolute distdir and
1096 top_distdir when recursing, because we can no longer prepend only
1097 `..' in case of SUBDIRS with `/'.
1098 * tests/auxdir4.test, tests/subdir9.test: New files.
1099 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add auxdir4.test.
1100 * tests/cond2.test, tests/subdir7.test: Augment to check location
1103 2004-05-21 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> (tiny changes)
1105 * tests/txinfo22.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Use aux1, not aux, for
1106 cygwin compatibility.
1107 * tests/yacc6.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Likewise.
1109 * tests/conflnk3.test: Isolate checking for working `test -e' into
1110 a subshell, to skip this test on broken /bin/sh of solaris.
1112 2004-05-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1114 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITIONAL): Double-quote diagnostic.
1115 * tests/condd.test: Define a macro with the same name as a
1117 * tests/pr220.test: Modernize, and make sure the diagnostics
1118 contains the macro name.
1119 Report from Volker Boerchers.
1121 2004-05-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1123 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
1125 2004-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1127 * automake.in (handle_dist): Always define DIST_SUBDIRS, even when
1128 the no-dist or cygnus options are used.
1129 * tests/clean2.test: New file.
1130 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add clean2.test.
1131 Report from Daniel Jacobowitz.
1133 * aclocal.in (add_macro): Do not error out on undefined required
1134 macros. We are not sure they are really used, and Autoconf
1135 already diagnoses them.
1136 (scan_configure_dep): Diagnose missing AM_ macros as warnings rather
1138 * tests/aclocal3.test, tests/ammissing.test: Adjust to expect a
1139 warning instead of an error.
1140 * tests/aclocal8.test: AC_REQUIRE an undefined macro in an unused
1141 macro, and ensure aclocal works anyway.
1142 * tests/acloca17.test: New file.
1143 * tests/error.test: Delete, superseded by tests/acloca17.test.
1144 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca17.test and remove error.test.
1145 Report from Jim Meyering.
1147 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?!GENERIC_INFO?%DEST_INFO_PREFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1148 Fold a few lines to reduce the output by 5 lines.
1149 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1151 * automake.in (parse_arguments, MAIN): Give more precise
1152 diagnostics when no input file is found.
1153 * tests/output5.test: Adjust.
1154 Suggested by Jens Petersen.
1156 2004-05-14 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1158 * lib/am/libs.am (AR, ARFLAGS): Move these definition ...
1159 * automake.in (handle_libraries): ... here, so that they are
1160 output even for EXTRA_LIBRARIES.
1161 * tests/ar2.test: New file.
1162 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1163 Report from Kevin Ryde.
1165 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1170 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add werror2.test.
1171 * tests/substtarg.test, tests/cond36.test, tests/backsl4.test:
1172 Adjust to run automake with -Wno-error when the output is expected
1173 in spite of the error.
1174 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1176 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Remove
1177 doubled word in footnote.
1179 * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Also check for a
1180 $(srcdir)/old_source rule when computing the default source name.
1181 Propagate this $(srcdir) prefix in Automake variables.
1182 * tests/ltlibsrc.test (noinst_LTLIBRARIES): Explicitly refer to
1183 $(srcdir)/zoo_d_old2_la.c. This fixes another failure with BSD Make.
1185 2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1187 * Makefile.am (fetch): Work even with FreeBSD "make", which
1188 uses sh -e and thus errors-out if a simple-command fails.
1189 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Likewise.
1190 * lib/am/ltlib.am (clean-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Likewise.
1191 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Likewise.
1193 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1195 * tests/lex3.test, tests/yacc6.test: Require GNU Make.
1196 Fixing these for BSD Make requires invasive changes (lexers and
1197 parsers must be built into $srcdir, and--most annoyingly--all
1198 references to parse.h must be changed to $(srcdir)/parse.h).
1199 Report from Mark D. Baushke.
1201 2004-05-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1203 * tests/defs.in (GNUmake): Grep for GNU to parry FreeBSD make.
1204 Report from Mark D. Baushke.
1206 2004-04-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1208 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.

1214 2004-04-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1216 * automake.in (check_typos): Clarify the diagnostic.
1217 * tests/warnopts.test: Adjust.
1219 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Turn VAR_ASIS variables into
1220 VAR_PRETTY variables to work around make implementation with
1221 limited line length, such as OSF1/Tru64 make.
1222 * tests/longline.test: New file.
1223 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1224 * tests/pluseq3.test, tests/pluseq8.test: Adjust.
1225 Report from Simon Josefsson.
1227 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Pass `.' to Exuberant Ctags if
1228 --etags-include is used but no other files are supplied, so it
1229 creates the TAGS file anyway.
1230 Report from Akim Demaille.
1232 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Nicolas Joly reported on
1233 2002-06-12 that dependencies were output in $dir.libs/$base.lo.d.
1234 Teun Burgers reported on 2004-03-30 they were in
1235 $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Try both.

1302 ($automake_will_process_aux_dir): New variable.
1303 (scan_autoconf_traces): Reorder @input_files so that the Makefile
1304 that distributes aux files is processed last. This way we do not
1305 have to process all files twice using

1368 not work. This improves performance in the usual case where

1714 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Do not use `-m 0755'. This overrides special bits
1715 and break setups where 775 directories are expected. Just obey
1716 umask as we did in the past.
1717 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1719 2004-01-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1721 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Do not compare $outfile to ''
1722 as $outfile might not be defined at all.

1725 Automake variable definition. Ensure consistent :=/+=/=
1726 definitions only for variables that have been and are defined by

1744 * tests/libtool5.test, tests/ltcond.test, tests/ltcond2.test,
1745 * tests/ltconv.test: Run automake with --add-missing, because
1746 the CVS version of libtoolize no longer install config.sub and
1747 config.guess by default.
1749 Fix for PR automake/319:
1750 * aclocal.in (scan_m4_files): Scan configure.ac.
1751 (trace_used_macros, write_aclocal): Remove configure.ac from the

1774 * tests/depend.test, tests/depend4.test, tests/exsource.test:
1776 Suggested by Tom Tromey.
1778 Do not output .lo rules for programs and static libraries objects,
1779 and do not output .o/.obj rules for libtool libraries. This is
1780 about explicit rules only, not inference rules.
1781 * automake.in (handle_single_transform_list): Rename as ...
1782 (handle_single_transform): ... this. Take a single file
1783 to transform (it was only called this way) and accept a new
1784 %transform argument. Fill %lang_specific_files with list
1785 references instead of strings, and append %transform to each

1795 * lib/am/depend2.am (%OBJ%, %OBJOBJ%): Define only if %NONLIBTOOL%.
1796 * tests/libtool3.test: Augment to check Makefile.ins for unneeded
1798 Suggested by Thomas Fitzsimmons.
1800 * automake.in, aclocal.in: Bump copyright years.
