885 * tests/aclocal.test: Use it to fix the test. Report from
888 2004-11-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
890 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Fix the invocation of
891 AC_PATH_PROGS to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no interpreter
892 is found (this worked correctly only when a minimal version was
893 passed to AM_PATH_PYTHON). Report from Stepan Kasal.
894 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Define using m4_define_default,
895 so we can easily override the list from the test suite.
896 * tests/python11.test: New file.
897 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add python11.test.
899 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Make clearer that -module
900 should appear explicitly in _LDFLAGS.
902 2004-11-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
904 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correctly recognize --print-ac-dir.
905 * tests/aclocal.test: Check --print-ac-dir and a unknown option.
907 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Fix detection of unexisting default
908 $(datadir)/aclocal. Report from Akim.

918 ("MAIN"): Adjust to scan m4 files in @user_includes,
919 @automake_includes, and @system_includes.
921 2004-11-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
923 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correct comment. From Akim.
925 2004-11-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
927 * aclocal.in: Use Automake::ChannelDefs, and adjust all output
928 to be done via `fatal', `msg', `verb', or `prog_error'.
929 (version): New function.
930 (parse_arguments): Rewrite using Getopt::Long, call &version, and
931 honor -W and --warning.
933 (trace_used_macros): Do not trace the first arguments of macros
934 for which we do not need it. This caused failures because of
935 unexpected newlines in the output.
936 * doc/automake.texi (aclocal options): Document -W and --warning.
937 * tests/defs.in (ACLOCAL): Always use -Werror, to catch Perl
938 warnings about uninitialized variables.
940 2004-11-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
942 * tests/defs.in: Do not distinguish VERBOSE=x from
943 VERBOSE=anything_but_x, always turn on shell traces.

946 before using it. Suppress a warning observable in test/acloca16.test.
947 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
949 2004-11-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
951 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Make sure $ENV{'MAKEFLAGS'} exists
952 before inspecting it; this fixes "uninitialized value in
953 concatenation" diagnostics when flock fails.
954 Report from Gary V. Vaughan.
956 * aclocal.in: Use strict and -w. Declare local variables with `my',
957 and get rid of `local'.
958 (scan_m4_files, add_macro): Reindent these functions while we are
961 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
963 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Spelling and grammar corrections
964 from Ralf Wildenhues.

972 2004-10-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
974 * doc/automake.texi: Untabify, tabs in the examples are poorly
976 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Grep tabs in the manual.
978 * tests/comment8.test: Use $MAKE, not make.
980 2004-10-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
982 * tests/distcom3.test: Typo.
984 2004-10-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
986 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Convenience Libraries): Explain how
987 to force the linker selection.
989 * lib/install-sh: Fix the dirname emulation to ignore trailing
990 slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'. This
991 caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
992 * tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
993 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
995 2004-10-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
997 * automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
998 by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
999 target name. Simplify this function to simply conditionally
1000 prepend $U to the given extension.
1001 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Hard-code
1002 the extension to use. This way Automake won't mistake a program
1003 named `foo.la' as a libtool library.
1004 * tests/primary3.test: New file.
1005 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add primary3.test.
1007 2004-10-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1010 (Extending): More comments about install-data-hook vs
1011 install-exec-hook, and link to Install.
1013 * configure.ac: Export @am_AUTOCONF@.
1014 * tests/defs.in (AUTOCONF): Define as @am_AUTOCONF@, not @AUTOCONF@,
1015 so the test suite runs `autoconf' and not `missing --run autoconf'.
1016 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing
1017 to be used in front of autoconf even if the user has exported
1018 AUTOCONF. This fixes two spurious failures reported by
1021 * lib/compile: Handle output.obj in addition to output.o.
1022 * tests/compile.test: Check for this.
1024 2004-10-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1026 * doc/automake.texi (Sources): Typo, reported by Karl Berry.
1028 2004-10-10 Kelley Cook <kcook@gcc.gnu.org> (tiny change)

1039 2004-10-10 Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> (tiny change)
1041 * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): Check dependency tracking mode for CCAS.
1042 * automake.in (cppasm): Use the dependency tracking more for CCAS.
1043 * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Note that *.S are
1044 preprocessed with CPPFLAGS.
1046 2004-10-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
1048 * automake.in (Languages): Split .s (asm) and .S (cppasm) into
1049 separate languages. Make cppasm (Preprocessed Assembler) aware
1050 of CPPFLAGS, AM_CPPFLAGS.
1051 (handle_languages): Fix typo.
1052 (lang_cppasm_rewrite): New function.
1054 2004-09-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1056 * tests/subobj9.test: Adjust regexes after previous patch.
1058 2004-09-28 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1060 * automake.in (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable): Output
1061 Libtool's --tag= option before --mode=compile, because depcomp use
1062 --mode=compile as end marker for libtool arguments.
1063 (define_linker_variable): Likewise before --mode=link, for
1065 * tests/pr307.test: Make sure dependency files are updated. That
1066 was not the case because depcomp thought `--tag=CC' was the
1067 compiler to get dependencies from.
1068 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
1070 2004-09-26 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1072 * configure.ac: Require Perl 5.6.
1073 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Require Perl 5.6 (not done in
1074 lib/Automake/General.pm because it is shared with Autoconf),
1075 and use `our' instead of `use vars'.
1076 * aclocal.in (rel2abs): Remove.
1077 (scan_configure_dep): Use File::Spec->rel2abs instead.
1079 * tests/compile.test, tests/instsh2.test, tests/instspc.test: Use
1080 two consecutive spaces in filename instead of one, to catch mistake
1081 like `echo $val | ...`.
1082 * tests/README: Suggest this.
1083 Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
1085 2004-09-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1126 * doc/automake.texi (Dependencies): Link to Dependency Tracking
1128 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Link to GNU make, Sources (for
1129 BUILT_SOURCES), and update the paragraph about the "plan" to
1130 inline dependency tracking with gcc3.
1132 * doc/automake.texi (History): New node.
1133 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): New node, filled with a Texinfo

1145 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1147 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (_print_message): Handle uniq_part with
1149 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Set uniq_part so that the
1150 AM_PROG_CC_C_O diagnostic is output only once for subdir objects
1151 and only once for objects with per-target flags.
1153 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Print files and locations
1154 for AM_PROG_CC_C_O errors.
1155 (handle_single_transform): Pass $var to &$subr so it can

1192 2004-09-07 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1194 * missing: Handle all command line options together. Add a
1195 separate case statement to detect failed runs, and fail
1196 silently there if --help or --version is passed to the program.
1198 2004-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1200 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.

1211 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (new): Precompute 'string' and 'conds'
1212 in place instead of as a side-effect of calling ->string and ->conds.
1213 This saves method-lookup time, simplify ->string and ->conds, and
1214 allows to create the object only when necessary.
1215 (string, conds): Simplify, now that the result is precomputed.
1217 * automake.in (%am_file_cache): New hash.
1218 (make_paragraphs): Cache .am files with comments stripped to save

1237 DERIVED-EXT, and DIST_SOURCE, because the new transform() will
1238 abort on unknown tokens.
1239 (transform): Rewrite with different semantics.
1240 (make_paragraphs): Make a single pass over the paragraph to
1241 transform all template tokens instead of doing as much passes as

1267 AM_PROG_CC_C_O is required when per-target flags or subdir-objects
1268 are used with C sources.
1269 * m4/minuso.m4: Require `compile' using AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
1270 * m4/missing.m4: Require `missing' similarly.
1271 * tests/acsubst2.test, tests/distcom2.test, tests/distcom6.test,
1272 tests/specflg.test, tests/specflg2.test, tests/specflg3.test,
1273 tests/specflg6.test, tests/specflg7.test, tests/specflg8.test,
1274 tests/specflg9.test, tests/subobj7.test, tests/target-cflags.test,

1337 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
1339 2004-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1341 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Remove `.' from the mkdir_p
1342 definition, it causes `make install' to fails for user with no
1343 right to write in the source-tree.
1344 * automake.in (handle_configure): Do not use mkdir_p in the
1345 definition for $(mkdir_p).
1346 Report from Harlan Stenn.

1369 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Use $(X), not ${X}.
1371 * tests/installdir.test: installdirs-local should appear three times,
1372 since the change from 2004-07-11 will make it PHONY.
1374 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Always use $(DIST_SUBDIRS) now
1375 that it is always defined. This is less confusing for users
1376 reading the generated Makefiles.

1379 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
1380 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Output .htp, and then rename to .html
1381 on success. In case the target is a directory, this ensures its

1384 reported by Akim Demaille.
1386 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Rename as ...

1403 a the source of a file is distributed or not.
1404 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Check DIST_SOURCE, and do not distribute
1405 the generated header if the .y source is not distributed.
1406 * tests/pr204.test: Use AM_YFLAGS = -d and make sure generated
1407 headers are not distributed.
1409 2004-07-12 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com> (tiny change)

1420 For PR automake/428:
1421 Support for conditionally defined -hook and -local rules.
1422 * automake.in (user_phony_rule): New function.
1423 (handle_dist, handle_install, handle_all, do_check_merge_target,
1424 handle_factored_dependencies): Use user_phony_rule before
1425 adding a user -hook or -local rule as a dependency to ensure
1426 it is always defined an phony.
1427 * tests/cond37.test, tests/condhook.test: New files.

1429 Report from Simon Josefsson and Nik A. Melchior.
1431 2004-07-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1433 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Warn that you should create
1434 /tmp/staging before installing into it, to avoid security problems.
1435 * lib/install-sh: Remove support for -b= and -t= options; this
1436 has been moribund for a decade.
1437 Add support for -t and -T options (new in coreutils install).
1438 -c option now does nothing (the default is to copy), for
1439 compatibility with BSD and coreutils 'install'.
1440 Fix usage message; it referred to nonexistent variables.
1441 Don't assume 'lasterr' is unset in environment.
1442 * tests/instsh2.test: Don't assume that install-sh without -c
1443 moves (it now copies). Add tests for new -t and -T options.

1453 For Debian Bug #251820:
1454 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Keep track of the location where each
1455 file is included, and display it when reporting a missing file.
1456 Pass this location to scan_file as a second argument.
1457 (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_file.
1458 * tests/acloca14.test: Add a test for this diagnostic.
1460 2004-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1463 so it works with Solaris and Tru64 /bin/sh.
1464 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1466 2004-06-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1468 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Introduce $_am_tools to work around a
1469 bug in NetBSD /bin/sh.
1470 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1472 2004-06-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1474 * tests/defs.in (required=icc): Use `-V -help' instead of
1475 `-V -dryrun'. icc 8.0 fails on the latter.
1476 * tests/depcomp5.test: Require depmode=icc for icc 7.x, and
1477 depmod=gcc otherwise.
1478 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.

1481 `rm -f $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' if `$(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' is empty.
1482 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1484 2004-05-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1486 * NEWS: Make clearer that we do not output partial Makefile.ins on
1488 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1490 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Use $dir$base.o.d instead
1491 of $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Libtool 1.5 causes both to be output,
1492 and we will clean the second automatically during distclean.
1493 Using the latter and leaving the former as we did before cause
1494 "files left in build directory" failures during distcheck.
1495 Suggested by Nicolas Joly.
1497 * doc/automake.texi (Built sources example): Explain what
1498 nodist_foo_SOURCES is (not) useful to, and use it in all the
1500 (Tags): Mention nodist_noinst_HEADERS and nodist_prog_SOURCES.
1501 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1503 2004-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1505 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8c.
1507 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8b.
1509 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR) <cpio>: Specify -o and -i option first,
1510 by POSIX; and use option -d in am_untar.
1512 * tests/defs.in (PATH): Export it.
1514 * lib/am/multilib.am: Add $(MAKE) comments to multido and
1515 multiclean lines, to enable parallel make. Based on a patch
1516 by Alexandre Oliva applied to newlib on 2003-10-15.
1518 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1520 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for LT_SUPPORTED_TAG
1521 instead of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, since that how CVS Libtool has been
1523 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not grep for --tag=CC, since CVS
1524 Libtool (unlike Libtool 1.5) does not has any CC tag.
1526 * tests/tar2.test: Skip the test if no pax archiver were found.
1528 * NEWS: Sync with branch-1-8, and reorganize current entry.
1530 * automake.in (handle_libraries): Make the diagnostic about
1531 non standard libraries a warning in foreign packages. This
1532 is already the case in handle_ltlibraries.
1533 (handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Suggest a standard
1534 library name in the diagnostic, to help newcomers.
1535 * tests/stdlib.test, tests/stdlib2.test: Check for these
1538 Check directory names for unportable names. Shaking the code
1539 to check this also led to the removal of the no-"/"-in-SUBDIRS
1540 restriction, and a fix to _do_recursive_traversal.
1542 * automake.in (check_directory): New function extracted from
1543 handle_subdirs, and augmented to check for reserved W32/DOS name.
1544 (check_directories_in_var): New function.
1545 (handle_subdirs): Call check_directories_in_var. Doing so also
1546 suppress the restriction that SUBDIRS should not contain slashes.
1547 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR>: Call check_directory
1548 to ensure the argument exists and is safe.
1549 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Do not say that src/subdir
1550 cannot be put in SUBDIRS.
1551 (Dist): Mention that distdir and top_distdir can be absolute.
1552 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_do_recursive_traversal) Support
1553 undefined $fun_collect, and fix two bugs introduced with
1554 skip_ac_subst on 2004-03-07.
1555 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Use absolute distdir and
1556 top_distdir when recursing, because we can no longer prepend only
1557 `..' in case of SUBDIRS with `/'.
1558 * tests/auxdir4.test, tests/subdir9.test: New files.
1559 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add auxdir4.test.
1560 * tests/cond2.test, tests/subdir7.test: Augment to check location
1563 2004-05-21 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> (tiny changes)
1565 * tests/txinfo22.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Use aux1, not aux, for
1566 cygwin compatibility.
1567 * tests/yacc6.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Likewise.
1569 * tests/conflnk3.test: Isolate checking for working `test -e' into
1570 a subshell, to skip this test on broken /bin/sh of solaris.
1572 2004-05-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1574 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITIONAL): Double-quote diagnostic.
1575 * tests/condd.test: Define a macro with the same name as a

1578 contains the macro name.
1579 Report from Volker Boerchers.
1581 2004-05-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1583 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
1585 2004-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1587 * automake.in (handle_dist): Always define DIST_SUBDIRS, even when
1588 the no-dist or cygnus options are used.
1589 * tests/clean2.test: New file.
1590 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add clean2.test.
1591 Report from Daniel Jacobowitz.
1593 * aclocal.in (add_macro): Do not error out on undefined required
1594 macros. We are not sure they are really used, and Autoconf
1595 already diagnoses them.
1596 (scan_configure_dep): Diagnose missing AM_ macros as warnings rather
1598 * tests/aclocal3.test, tests/ammissing.test: Adjust to expect a
1599 warning instead of an error.
1600 * tests/aclocal8.test: AC_REQUIRE an undefined macro in an unused
1601 macro, and ensure aclocal works anyway.
1602 * tests/acloca17.test: New file.
1603 * tests/error.test: Delete, superseded by tests/acloca17.test.
1604 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca17.test and remove error.test.
1605 Report from Jim Meyering.
1607 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?!GENERIC_INFO?%DEST_INFO_PREFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1608 Fold a few lines to reduce the output by 5 lines.
1609 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1611 * automake.in (parse_arguments, MAIN): Give more precise
1612 diagnostics when no input file is found.
1613 * tests/output5.test: Adjust.
1614 Suggested by Jens Petersen.
1616 2004-05-14 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1618 * lib/am/libs.am (AR, ARFLAGS): Move these definition ...
1619 * automake.in (handle_libraries): ... here, so that they are
1620 output even for EXTRA_LIBRARIES.
1621 * tests/ar2.test: New file.
1622 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1623 Report from Kevin Ryde.

1631 * tests/substtarg.test, tests/cond36.test, tests/backsl4.test:
1632 Adjust to run automake with -Wno-error when the output is expected
1633 in spite of the error.
1634 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1636 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Remove
1637 doubled word in footnote.
1639 * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Also check for a
1640 $(srcdir)/old_source rule when computing the default source name.
1641 Propagate this $(srcdir) prefix in Automake variables.
1642 * tests/ltlibsrc.test (noinst_LTLIBRARIES): Explicitly refer to
1643 $(srcdir)/zoo_d_old2_la.c. This fixes another failure with BSD Make.
1645 2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1647 * Makefile.am (fetch): Work even with FreeBSD "make", which
1648 uses sh -e and thus errors-out if a simple-command fails.
1649 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Likewise.
1650 * lib/am/ltlib.am (clean-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Likewise.
1651 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Likewise.
1653 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1655 * tests/lex3.test, tests/yacc6.test: Require GNU Make.
1656 Fixing these for BSD Make requires invasive changes (lexers and
1657 parsers must be built into $srcdir, and--most annoyingly--all
1658 references to parse.h must be changed to $(srcdir)/parse.h).
1659 Report from Mark D. Baushke.

1685 Report from Simon Josefsson.
1687 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Pass `.' to Exuberant Ctags if
1688 --etags-include is used but no other files are supplied, so it
1689 creates the TAGS file anyway.
1690 Report from Akim Demaille.
1692 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Nicolas Joly reported on
1693 2002-06-12 that dependencies were output in $dir.libs/$base.lo.d.

1976 installation paths in install, uninstall, and installcheck rules,
1977 as well as in am__installdirs variables. This is for the sake
1978 of paths containing spaces.

1980 to create "" directories.
1981 * test/instspc.test: New file.

1986 (Extending): Make it a subsection of Not Enough.
1988 * lib/gnupload (GPG): Use an absolute path. Suggestion from Gary
1990 (passphrase): Unset it this variable before using it, in case it
1991 was exported. Report from Scott James Remnant.
1993 2004-01-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1995 * lib/gnupload (usage): Fix example.

2015 2004-01-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2017 * tests/lex5.test: Sleep before calling AUTOMAKE the second time,
2018 this fixes a spurious failure reported by Andreas Schwab. Also
2019 make sure ylwrap is not installed unless needed, and exercise

2155 $(am__vpath_adj_setup), and $(am__strip_dir) in install and
2156 uninstall rules. This fixes installation of nobase_ files in
2157 VPATH setups with Sun and OSF1/Tru64 Make.

2177 Report from Harlan Stenn.
2179 2004-01-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2181 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Do not compare $outfile to ''
2182 as $outfile might not be defined at all.

2204 * tests/libtool5.test, tests/ltcond.test, tests/ltcond2.test,
2205 * tests/ltconv.test: Run automake with --add-missing, because
2206 the CVS version of libtoolize no longer install config.sub and
2207 config.guess by default.

2236 Suggested by Tom Tromey.
2238 Do not output .lo rules for programs and static libraries objects,
2239 and do not output .o/.obj rules for libtool libraries. This is
2240 about explicit rules only, not inference rules.
2241 * automake.in (handle_single_transform_list): Rename as ...
2242 (handle_single_transform): ... this. Take a single file
2243 to transform (it was only called this way) and accept a new
