 956         AC_PATH_PROGS to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no interpreter
 957         is found (this worked correctly only when a minimal version was
 958         passed to AM_PATH_PYTHON).  Report from Stepan Kasal.
 959         (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Define using m4_define_default,
 960         so we can easily override the list from the test suite.

 976
 977         * aclocal.in ($acdir): Rename as ...
 978         (@system_includes): ... this.
 979         (@user_includes, @automake_includes): New variables.

 981         (parse_arguments): Populate @user_includes, @automake_includes, and
 982         @system_includes instead of filling a unique @dirlist array.
 983         ("MAIN"): Adjust to scan m4 files in @user_includes,
 984         @automake_includes, and @system_includes.

 987
 988         * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correct comment.  From Akim.
 989
 990 2004-11-04  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
 991
 992         * aclocal.in: Use Automake::ChannelDefs, and adjust all output
 993         to be done via `fatal', `msg', `verb', or `prog_error'.
 994         (version): New function.
 995         (parse_arguments): Rewrite using Getopt::Long, call &version, and
 996         honor -W and --warning.

 998         (trace_used_macros): Do not trace the first arguments of macros
 999         for which we do not need it.  This caused failures because of
1000         unexpected newlines in the output.
1001         * doc/automake.texi (aclocal options): Document -W and --warning.
1002         * tests/defs.in (ACLOCAL): Always use -Werror, to catch Perl

1015
1016         * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Make sure $ENV{'MAKEFLAGS'} exists
1017         before inspecting it; this fixes "uninitialized value in
1018         concatenation" diagnostics when flock fails.
1019         Report from Gary V. Vaughan.
1020
1021         * aclocal.in: Use strict and -w.  Declare local variables with `my',
1022         and get rid of `local'.

1036
1037 2004-10-25  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
1038
1039         * doc/automake.texi: Untabify, tabs in the examples are poorly

1041         * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Grep tabs in the manual.
1042

1048
1049 2004-10-22  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
1050
1051         * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Convenience Libraries): Explain how
1052         to force the linker selection.
1053
1054         * lib/install-sh: Fix the dirname emulation to ignore trailing
1055         slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'.  This
1056         caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
1057         * tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
1058         Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
1059
1060 2004-10-21  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
1061
1062         * automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
1063         by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
1064         target name.  Simplify this function to simply conditionally
1065         prepend $U to the given extension.
1066         (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Hard-code
1067         the extension to use.  This way Automake won't mistake a program

1069         * tests/primary3.test: New file.
1070         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add primary3.test.

1077
1078         * configure.ac: Export @am_AUTOCONF@.
1079         * tests/defs.in (AUTOCONF): Define as @am_AUTOCONF@, not @AUTOCONF@,
1080         so the test suite runs `autoconf' and not `missing --run autoconf'.
1081         * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing
1082         to be used in front of autoconf even if the user has exported
1083         AUTOCONF.  This fixes two spurious failures reported by
1084         Mark D. Baushke.
1085
1086         * lib/compile: Handle output.obj in addition to output.o.

1112
1113         * automake.in (Languages): Split .s (asm) and .S (cppasm) into

1115         of CPPFLAGS, AM_CPPFLAGS.
1116         (handle_languages): Fix typo.
1117         (lang_cppasm_rewrite): New function.

1122
1123 2004-09-28  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
1124
1125         * automake.in (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable): Output
1126         Libtool's --tag= option before --mode=compile, because depcomp use
1127         --mode=compile as end marker for libtool arguments.
1128         (define_linker_variable): Likewise before --mode=link, for
1129         uniformity.
1130         * tests/pr307.test: Make sure dependency files are updated.  That
1131         was not the case because depcomp thought `--tag=CC' was the
1132         compiler to get dependencies from.
1133         Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
1134
1135 2004-09-26  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
1136
1137         * configure.ac: Require Perl 5.6.
1138         * lib/Automake/Config.in: Require Perl 5.6 (not done in
1139         lib/Automake/General.pm because it is shared with Autoconf),
1140         and use `our' instead of `use vars'.

1148         Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.

1277         in place instead of as a side-effect of calling ->string and ->conds.

1301         * automake.in (handle_languages): Always define SUBDIROBJ,

1594
1595         * automake.in (handle_libraries): Make the diagnostic about

2297         * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Extract included
2298         files with $(DEPDIR) in their name instead of DEP_FILES.
2299         * tests/depend.test, tests/depend4.test, tests/exsource.test:
2300         Adjust.
2301         Suggested by Tom Tromey.
2302
2303         Do not output .lo rules for programs and static libraries objects,
2304         and do not output .o/.obj rules for libtool libraries.  This is
2305         about explicit rules only, not inference rules.
2306         * automake.in (handle_single_transform_list): Rename as ...
2307         (handle_single_transform): ... this.  Take a single file
2308         to transform (it was only called this way) and accept a new
2309         %transform argument.  Fill %lang_specific_files with list
2310         references instead of strings, and append %transform to each
2311         of these lists.
2312         (define_objects_from_sources, handle_source_transform):
2313         Take a %transform argument, and forward it to &handle_single_transform.
2314         (handle_languages): Adjust to the new format of
2315         %lang_specific_files, and honor its %transform part.
2316         (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Override
2317         %NONLIBTOOL% and %LIBTOOL% while calling handle_source_transform.
2318         (make_paragraphs): Define %NONLIBTOOL% by default.  Make sure
2319         %transform settings override global settings.
2320         * lib/am/depend2.am (%OBJ%, %OBJOBJ%): Define only if %NONLIBTOOL%.
2321         * tests/libtool3.test: Augment to check Makefile.ins for unneeded
2322         rules.
2323         Suggested by Thomas Fitzsimmons.
2324
2325         * automake.in, aclocal.in: Bump copyright years.
