3 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
4 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
5 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This checs worked by setting
6 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
7 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
8 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
9 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
10 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
12 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
14 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
15 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
16 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
17 are not part of the Automake API.
19 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
21 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
22 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
23 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
25 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
27 Rebuild menus in the manual.
28 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
29 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
31 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
32 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use

44 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
46 Fix a bug in variable concatanation with `+='.
47 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
48 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
49 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
50 character, instead of trying to be uselesssly smarter by using
51 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
52 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
53 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
54 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
55 Reported by Andy Wingo.

61 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
62 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
65 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
67 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
68 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
69 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
71 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
72 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
73 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
75 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
76 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
77 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
78 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.

112 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
114 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
115 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
116 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
117 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.

131 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
133 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
134 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,

152 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
153 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
154 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
155 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
156 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
157 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.

159 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
160 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
161 `--version' take precedence on the other options.

223 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
224 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
227 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
229 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
231 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
233 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
234 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
235 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which

284 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
285 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
287 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
289 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
290 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
291 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
293 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
294 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.

296 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.

300 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
301 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.

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

440 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
441 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
442 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obolescent constructs in the generated
443 `configure.in'; also, use the `configure.in' stub created by

474 not called by `make install', but that data files are installed.
475 Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in. Add trailing `:' command.
476 * tests/condhook2.test: New test, sister test of condhook, with

779 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
780 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
781 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
782 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
783 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
784 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
786 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
787 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than

822 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
823 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of

867 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
869 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",

951 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
952 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure

1005 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1006 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
1008 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1009 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1011 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.
1012 * tests/backsl.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

1020 * tests/cond15.test: Likewise, and prefer $FGREP over grep.
1021 * tests/canon3.test: Likewise. Also, avoid to create an useless
1023 * tests/acoutpt2.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and some
1024 related changes. Do some cosmetic improvements in the generated
1025 `configure.in' file.

1027 * tests/cond14.test: Likewise.
1028 * tests/condinc.test: Likewise.
1029 * tests/cond7.test: Likewise. Also, remove useless setting of
1030 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am.
1031 * tests/ansi.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1032 changes. Extended, esp. by running autoconf, ./configure and
1033 make, and by looking into the distdir.

1036 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1038 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1039 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1040 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1041 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1043 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1045 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1046 * bootstrap: Detemine what the PATH separator is the same way
1049 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
1050 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
1051 improvement to comments.
1052 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1053 Prepend it to all error messages.
1055 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1056 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1057 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1058 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1059 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1060 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1062 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1064 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1065 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1066 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1067 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1068 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1069 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1070 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1071 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1072 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1073 These changes make some checks slighty stricter.
1074 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1075 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1076 rather than in the middle.
1077 * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
1078 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1079 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.
1080 * tests/confdeps.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `mv -f' over
1081 plain `mv', just to be sure.
1082 * tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1083 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
1084 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'

1088 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
1089 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
1090 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1091 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1092 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1093 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1094 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1095 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1096 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1098 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1099 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeds unexpectedly.

1117 command substitution.
1118 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1119 command substitution.
1120 * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1121 in the generated `configure.in'.
1122 * tests/version2.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1123 in the generated `configure.in'.
1125 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1127 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
1128 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
1129 the verbose log contains all output.
1130 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1131 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1133 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1135 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

1145 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1147 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1148 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1149 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1150 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1151 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1152 known extension EXT.
1154 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1221 an excerpt from the original bug report which motivated the
1222 creation of this test, to make its purpose clearer.
1224 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1226 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1227 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1228 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1229 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1230 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
1231 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
1232 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1234 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1238 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1240 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1241 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1242 output produced by `make'.
1243 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1245 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1246 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1247 output produced by `make'.
1248 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1249 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1250 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1251 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1252 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1254 Improved test silent5.test.
1255 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1256 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1257 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1258 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1259 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1260 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1262 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1263 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1264 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1265 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1267 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
1268 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
1269 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1271 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1272 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1273 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1275 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1276 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1277 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1279 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1280 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1281 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1282 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
1283 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

1289 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1291 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1292 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1293 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1294 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1296 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1297 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1298 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1299 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1300 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1301 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1302 dependencies are enabled.
1303 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1304 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1305 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1306 dependency tracking.
1307 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1308 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1309 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1311 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1313 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1314 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1315 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1316 Makefile.in slighty stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1317 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1319 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1321 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1322 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1323 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1324 double-quotes and backquotes.
1326 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1328 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1330 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1331 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1332 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1333 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1334 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1335 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1336 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1339 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1341 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1342 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1343 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1345 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1346 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1347 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1350 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1352 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1353 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1354 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1356 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1357 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1358 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1360 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1361 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1362 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1363 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1364 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1366 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1369 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1370 missing closing parenthesis.
1372 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1373 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1374 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1376 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1378 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1379 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1382 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1384 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1385 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1386 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1387 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1390 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1392 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1393 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1394 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1395 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1396 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1398 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1399 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1400 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1402 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1403 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1404 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1405 Also, bumped copyright years.
1407 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1409 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1410 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1411 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1413 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1414 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1415 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1416 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1418 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1420 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1421 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1422 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1423 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1424 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1425 cause the whole test to fail.
1427 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1429 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1430 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1431 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1433 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1435 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1436 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1437 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1438 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1440 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1442 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1443 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1445 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1446 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1449 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1451 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1452 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1453 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1454 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1455 and unstable exit status values.
1456 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1457 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
1458 $warnings_are_errors.
1459 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
1460 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1463 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1465 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1466 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
1467 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
1468 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1470 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
1471 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
1472 succeds unexpectedly.
1474 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
1475 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
1476 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1477 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
1479 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1481 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
1482 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
1483 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1484 Report by Pavel Sanda.
1486 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1488 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
1489 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
1490 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
1493 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
1494 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
