247 * doc/automake.texi: Correct several misuses of @xref and @pxref.
249 2004-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
251 * install-sh: Use `(exit N); exit N', not `(exit N); exit'.
252 Otherwise, install-sh could exit with improper exit status when
253 exiting via a trapped interrupt. Thanks to a report from Bob Proulx.
255 2004-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
257 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Englishoes.

306 * tests/hfs.test: New file.
307 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hfs.test.
309 2004-12-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
311 * lib/mdate-sh: Don't use "set - x`$ls_command /`", as zsh mishandles
312 the spaces inside $ls_command. Problem reported by Loulou Pouchet in
313 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-12/msg00074.html>.
314 Don't use "set - x"; plain "set x" is enough, and simplifies debugging.
316 2004-12-05 Toshio Kuratomi <toshio@tiki-lounge.com>
318 * lib/py-compile: Add --destdir switch to py-compile that takes a
319 path argument that is not compiled into the file when byte compiling.
320 * lib/am/python.am: Use the new py-compile arguments to not include
321 DESTDIR in the byte compiled files.
322 * tests/python12.test: Test that DESTDIR won't be byte compiled into
325 2004-12-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
327 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Typo.
329 * doc/automake.texi: Use @acindex for Autoconf macros, and @vindex
330 for variables (@cvindex was previously used for both). Separate
331 these two indices in the output. Use @code, @file, and @command
332 in @cindex lines wherever appropriate so they render nicely.
334 2004-12-05 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
336 * doc/automake.texi (renamed objects, CVS): Typos.

372 Report from Eric Blake.
374 * lib/am/progs.am (installcheck-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Run programs with
375 /dev/null as input, so we do not hang on programs that read their
376 input without supporting --help and --version.
377 * lib/am/scripts.am (installcheck-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Likewise for scripts.
378 * tests/gnits2.test: Change scriptnok.sh to cat its input.
379 Report and fix from James Youngman.
381 2004-11-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
383 * aclocal.in (%file_seen): Rename as ...
384 (%file_added): ... this, and move it close to add_file(), the only

405 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Fix the invocation of
406 AC_PATH_PROGS to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no interpreter
407 is found (this worked correctly only when a minimal version was
408 passed to AM_PATH_PYTHON). Report from Stepan Kasal.
409 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Define using m4_define_default,
410 so we can easily override the list from the test suite.
411 * tests/python11.test: New file.
412 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add python11.test.
414 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Make clearer that -module

440 2004-11-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
442 * aclocal.in: Use Automake::ChannelDefs, and adjust all output
443 to be done via `fatal', `msg', `verb', or `prog_error'.
444 (version): New function.
445 (parse_arguments): Rewrite using Getopt::Long, call &version, and
446 honor -W and --warning.
448 (trace_used_macros): Do not trace the first arguments of macros
449 for which we do not need it. This caused failures because of
450 unexpected newlines in the output.
451 * doc/automake.texi (aclocal options): Document -W and --warning.
452 * tests/defs.in (ACLOCAL): Always use -Werror, to catch Perl

457 * tests/defs.in: Do not distinguish VERBOSE=x from
458 VERBOSE=anything_but_x, always turn on shell traces.

461 before using it. Suppress a warning observable in test/acloca16.test.
462 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
464 2004-11-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
466 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Make sure $ENV{'MAKEFLAGS'} exists
467 before inspecting it; this fixes "uninitialized value in
468 concatenation" diagnostics when flock fails.
469 Report from Gary V. Vaughan.
471 * aclocal.in: Use strict and -w. Declare local variables with `my',
472 and get rid of `local'.
473 (scan_m4_files, add_macro): Reindent these functions while we are
476 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
478 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Spelling and grammar corrections
479 from Ralf Wildenhues.

485 (LTLIBOBJS): ... this. Link to LIBOBJS, and mention LTALLOCA.
487 2004-10-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
489 * doc/automake.texi: Untabify, tabs in the examples are poorly
491 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Grep tabs in the manual.
493 * tests/comment8.test: Use $MAKE, not make.
495 2004-10-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

501 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Convenience Libraries): Explain how
502 to force the linker selection.
504 * lib/install-sh: Fix the dirname emulation to ignore trailing
505 slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'. This
506 caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
507 * tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
508 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
510 2004-10-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
512 * automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
513 by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
514 target name. Simplify this function to simply conditionally
515 prepend $U to the given extension.
516 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Hard-code
517 the extension to use. This way Automake won't mistake a program
518 named `foo.la' as a libtool library.
519 * tests/primary3.test: New file.
520 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add primary3.test.
522 2004-10-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

528 * configure.ac: Export @am_AUTOCONF@.
529 * tests/defs.in (AUTOCONF): Define as @am_AUTOCONF@, not @AUTOCONF@,
530 so the test suite runs `autoconf' and not `missing --run autoconf'.
531 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing
532 to be used in front of autoconf even if the user has exported
533 AUTOCONF. This fixes two spurious failures reported by
536 * lib/compile: Handle output.obj in addition to output.o.
537 * tests/compile.test: Check for this.
539 2004-10-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
541 * doc/automake.texi (Sources): Typo, reported by Karl Berry.
543 2004-10-10 Kelley Cook <kcook@gcc.gnu.org> (tiny change)

552 * doc/automake.texi (Extending): Typo.
554 2004-10-10 Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> (tiny change)
556 * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): Check dependency tracking mode for CCAS.
557 * automake.in (cppasm): Use the dependency tracking more for CCAS.
558 * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Note that *.S are
559 preprocessed with CPPFLAGS.
561 2004-10-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
563 * automake.in (Languages): Split .s (asm) and .S (cppasm) into

573 2004-09-28 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
575 * automake.in (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable): Output
576 Libtool's --tag= option before --mode=compile, because depcomp use
577 --mode=compile as end marker for libtool arguments.
578 (define_linker_variable): Likewise before --mode=link, for
580 * tests/pr307.test: Make sure dependency files are updated. That
581 was not the case because depcomp thought `--tag=CC' was the
582 compiler to get dependencies from.
583 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
585 2004-09-26 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
587 * configure.ac: Require Perl 5.6.
588 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Require Perl 5.6 (not done in
589 lib/Automake/General.pm because it is shared with Autoconf),
590 and use `our' instead of `use vars'.
591 * aclocal.in (rel2abs): Remove.
592 (scan_configure_dep): Use File::Spec->rel2abs instead.
594 * tests/compile.test, tests/instsh2.test, tests/instspc.test: Use
595 two consecutive spaces in filename instead of one, to catch mistake
596 like `echo $val | ...`.
597 * tests/README: Suggest this.
598 Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
600 2004-09-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

645 inline dependency tracking with gcc3.
647 * doc/automake.texi (History): New node.
648 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): New node, filled with a Texinfo
649 version of Tom Tromey's ``Dependency Tracking in Automake''
650 document, initially published on the Automake homepage on
653 2004-09-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
655 * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Make sure AC_PROG_CC is never
656 called after this macro.

659 tests/subobj6.test: Adjust.
660 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
662 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (_print_message): Handle uniq_part with
664 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Set uniq_part so that the
665 AM_PROG_CC_C_O diagnostic is output only once for subdir objects
666 and only once for objects with per-target flags.
668 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Print files and locations
669 for AM_PROG_CC_C_O errors.
670 (handle_single_transform): Pass $var to &$subr so it can
673 * lib/compile, lib/elisp-comp, lib/install-sh, lib/ylwrap: Use $ret
674 instead of $status which is read-only in Zsh.
676 2004-09-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
677 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
679 * lib/compile: Preserve spaces in arguments (for example

689 Report from Bob Friesenhahn.
691 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Do not require AM_PROG_CC_C_O for
693 (handle_single_transform): Pass nonansi_obj to &$subr so
694 lang_c_rewrite can distinguish libtool objects.
695 * tests/libtool7.test: Use subdir-objects without using AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
696 Report from Gary V. Vaughan and Patrick Welche.
698 2004-09-07 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
700 * automake.in ($PATH_PATTERN): Add `+'.
702 2004-09-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

705 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add missing3.test.
707 2004-09-07 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
709 * missing: Handle all command line options together. Add a
710 separate case statement to detect failed runs, and fail
711 silently there if --help or --version is passed to the program.
713 2004-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
715 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.

721 * lib/am/yacc.am [!%?MORE-THAN-ONE%]: Replace `#line's in y.tab.h too.
722 * tests/yacc7.test: Check this.
724 2004-08-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
726 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (new): Precompute 'string' and 'conds'
727 in place instead of as a side-effect of calling ->string and ->conds.
728 This saves method-lookup time, simplify ->string and ->conds, and
729 allows to create the object only when necessary.
730 (string, conds): Simplify, now that the result is precomputed.
732 * automake.in (%am_file_cache): New hash.
733 (make_paragraphs): Cache .am files with comments stripped to save
734 some useless input and substitutions.

748 2004-08-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
750 Speed up make_paragraphs.
751 * automake.in (handle_languages): Always define SUBDIROBJ,
752 DERIVED-EXT, and DIST_SOURCE, because the new transform() will
753 abort on unknown tokens.
754 (transform): Rewrite with different semantics.
755 (make_paragraphs): Make a single pass over the paragraph to
756 transform all template tokens instead of doing as much passes as
759 * automake.in ($libtool_new_api): New variable.
760 (handle_libtool): Do not libtool's aux files if $libtool_new_api.
761 (scan_autoconf_traces) <LT_SUPPORTED_TAG>: Set $libtool_new_api.
762 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE>: Remember only the
763 first location for required files.
765 2004-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
767 Support AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE, and fix requirement of AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
768 * automake.in (%required_aux_file): New hash.
769 (handle_single_transform, lang_c_rewrite): Do not explicitly
770 require 'compile', this is now an internal detail of
772 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE and fill
774 (scan_autoconf_files): Require all %required_aux_file instead
775 of explicitly requiring install-sh and missing.
776 (generate_makefile): Do not require config.sub and config.guess.
777 (handle_single_transform): Pass $have_per_exec_flags to
779 * configure.ac, m4/init.m4: Require Autoconf 2.59a.
780 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
781 (Program and Library Variables, Options, Public macros):
782 AM_PROG_CC_C_O is required when per-target flags or subdir-objects
783 are used with C sources.
784 * m4/minuso.m4: Require `compile' using AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
785 * m4/missing.m4: Require `missing' similarly.
786 * tests/acsubst2.test, tests/distcom2.test, tests/distcom6.test,
787 tests/specflg.test, tests/specflg2.test, tests/specflg3.test,
788 tests/specflg6.test, tests/specflg7.test, tests/specflg8.test,
789 tests/specflg9.test, tests/subobj7.test, tests/target-cflags.test,
790 tests/yacc6.test: Fix to use AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
792 2004-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
794 * automake.in (yacc_lex_finish_helper): Fix definition of YLWRAP
795 when ylwrap is installed in a default aux dir found in a parent
797 * tests/subpkg.test: Augment to check that YLWRAP is installed
799 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): ylwrap is not sought is the
801 Report from Norman Gray.
803 2004-08-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
805 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Update documentation for
806 AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET.
808 * automake.in (AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): Replace by ...
809 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): ... these.
810 (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan for the latter three macros instead of
812 (make_paragraphs): Adjust definitions of %BUILD%, %HOST%, and %TARGET%.
813 * tests/hosts.test: New file.
814 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hosts.test.
815 Report and test case from Norman Gray.
817 2004-08-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
819 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Update "#Extending%20aclocal" URL, makeinfo
820 4.7 now outputs "#Extending-aclocal".
822 2004-08-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
823 Derek R. Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
825 Disable Lex and Yacc rules whenever possible if AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
826 is used and maintainer-mode disabled.
827 * automake.in (Automake::struct): Define nodist_specific.
828 Set it in languages yacc, yaccxx, lex, and lexxx.
829 (register_language): Default nodist_specific to 0.
830 (handle_single_transform): Honor nodist_specific.
831 * lib/am/yacc.am (am__skipyacc): Define this in maintainer mode.

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

847 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.9.
849 * automake.in (generate_makefile): Update misleading comment about
852 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
854 2004-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
856 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Remove `.' from the mkdir_p
857 definition, it causes `make install' to fails for user with no
858 right to write in the source-tree.
859 * automake.in (handle_configure): Do not use mkdir_p in the
860 definition for $(mkdir_p).
861 Report from Harlan Stenn.
863 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Typo in comment.
865 2004-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
867 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Typo in example.
868 Report from Ulrich Eckhardt.
870 2004-07-21 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de> (tiny change)
872 * automake.in (check_directory): Quote $dir in regexp.
874 2004-07-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
876 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8e.

880 * lib/config-ml.in, lib/config.sub, lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex:
881 New upstream versions.
883 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
884 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Use $(X), not ${X}.
886 * tests/installdir.test: installdirs-local should appear three times,
887 since the change from 2004-07-11 will make it PHONY.
889 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Always use $(DIST_SUBDIRS) now
890 that it is always defined. This is less confusing for users
891 reading the generated Makefiles.
892 * automake.in (handle_dist): Do not substitute DIST_SUBDIR_NAME.
894 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
895 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Output .htp, and then rename to .html
896 on success. In case the target is a directory, this ensures its
897 time stamp is updated and the no files are left over inside.
898 * tests/txinfo21.test: Augment to test missing timestamp update
899 reported by Akim Demaille.
901 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Rename as ...
902 (Directories): ... this, and split into ...
903 (Subdirectories, Conditional Subdirectories): ... these.
904 (Subdirectories): Illustrate the use of `.'.

915 * automake.in (target_hook): Accept %transform as last argument.
916 (handle_single_transform): Pass %transform to target_hook.
917 (handle_source_transform): Define DIST_SOURCE to tell whether
918 a the source of a file is distributed or not.
919 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Check DIST_SOURCE, and do not distribute
920 the generated header if the .y source is not distributed.
921 * tests/pr204.test: Use AM_YFLAGS = -d and make sure generated
922 headers are not distributed.
924 2004-07-12 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com> (tiny change)

940 adding a user -hook or -local rule as a dependency to ensure
941 it is always defined an phony.

943 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
944 Report from Simon Josefsson and Nik A. Melchior.
946 2004-07-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
948 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Warn that you should create
949 /tmp/staging before installing into it, to avoid security problems.
950 * lib/install-sh: Remove support for -b= and -t= options; this
951 has been moribund for a decade.
952 Add support for -t and -T options (new in coreutils install).
953 -c option now does nothing (the default is to copy), for
954 compatibility with BSD and coreutils 'install'.
955 Fix usage message; it referred to nonexistent variables.
956 Don't assume 'lasterr' is unset in environment.
957 * tests/instsh2.test: Don't assume that install-sh without -c
958 moves (it now copies). Add tests for new -t and -T options.
960 2004-06-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
962 For Debian Bug#254372:
963 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Rewrite the paragraph
964 explaining m4_include is used for relative files.
966 2004-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
968 For Debian Bug #251820:
969 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Keep track of the location where each
970 file is included, and display it when reporting a missing file.
971 Pass this location to scan_file as a second argument.
972 (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_file.
973 * tests/acloca14.test: Add a test for this diagnostic.
975 2004-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
977 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Split the definition of $_am_tools
978 so it works with Solaris and Tru64 /bin/sh.
979 Report from Nicolas Joly.
981 2004-06-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
983 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Introduce $_am_tools to work around a
984 bug in NetBSD /bin/sh.
985 Report from Nicolas Joly.
987 2004-06-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
989 * tests/defs.in (required=icc): Use `-V -help' instead of
990 `-V -dryrun'. icc 8.0 fails on the latter.
991 * tests/depcomp5.test: Require depmode=icc for icc 7.x, and
992 depmod=gcc otherwise.
993 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
995 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Do no
996 `rm -f $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' if `$(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' is empty.
997 Report from Nicolas Joly.
999 2004-05-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1001 * NEWS: Make clearer that we do not output partial Makefile.ins on
1003 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1005 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Use $dir$base.o.d instead
1006 of $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Libtool 1.5 causes both to be output,
1007 and we will clean the second automatically during distclean.
1008 Using the latter and leaving the former as we did before cause
1009 "files left in build directory" failures during distcheck.
1010 Suggested by Nicolas Joly.
1012 * doc/automake.texi (Built sources example): Explain what
1013 nodist_foo_SOURCES is (not) useful to, and use it in all the
1015 (Tags): Mention nodist_noinst_HEADERS and nodist_prog_SOURCES.
1016 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1018 2004-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1020 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8c.
1022 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8b.
1024 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR) <cpio>: Specify -o and -i option first,
1025 by POSIX; and use option -d in am_untar.
1027 * tests/defs.in (PATH): Export it.
1029 * lib/am/multilib.am: Add $(MAKE) comments to multido and
1030 multiclean lines, to enable parallel make. Based on a patch
1031 by Alexandre Oliva applied to newlib on 2003-10-15.
1033 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1035 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for LT_SUPPORTED_TAG
1036 instead of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, since that how CVS Libtool has been
1038 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not grep for --tag=CC, since CVS
1039 Libtool (unlike Libtool 1.5) does not has any CC tag.
1041 * tests/tar2.test: Skip the test if no pax archiver were found.
1043 * NEWS: Sync with branch-1-8, and reorganize current entry.
1045 * automake.in (handle_libraries): Make the diagnostic about
1046 non standard libraries a warning in foreign packages. This
1047 is already the case in handle_ltlibraries.
1048 (handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Suggest a standard
1049 library name in the diagnostic, to help newcomers.
1050 * tests/stdlib.test, tests/stdlib2.test: Check for these
1053 Check directory names for unportable names. Shaking the code
1054 to check this also led to the removal of the no-"/"-in-SUBDIRS
1055 restriction, and a fix to _do_recursive_traversal.
1057 * automake.in (check_directory): New function extracted from
1058 handle_subdirs, and augmented to check for reserved W32/DOS name.
1059 (check_directories_in_var): New function.
1060 (handle_subdirs): Call check_directories_in_var. Doing so also
1061 suppress the restriction that SUBDIRS should not contain slashes.
1062 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR>: Call check_directory
1063 to ensure the argument exists and is safe.
1064 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Do not say that src/subdir
1065 cannot be put in SUBDIRS.
1066 (Dist): Mention that distdir and top_distdir can be absolute.
1067 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_do_recursive_traversal) Support
1068 undefined $fun_collect, and fix two bugs introduced with
1069 skip_ac_subst on 2004-03-07.
1070 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Use absolute distdir and
1071 top_distdir when recursing, because we can no longer prepend only
1072 `..' in case of SUBDIRS with `/'.
1073 * tests/auxdir4.test, tests/subdir9.test: New files.
1074 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add auxdir4.test.
1075 * tests/cond2.test, tests/subdir7.test: Augment to check location
1078 2004-05-21 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> (tiny changes)
1080 * tests/txinfo22.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Use aux1, not aux, for
1081 cygwin compatibility.
1082 * tests/yacc6.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Likewise.
1084 * tests/conflnk3.test: Isolate checking for working `test -e' into
1085 a subshell, to skip this test on broken /bin/sh of solaris.
1087 2004-05-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1089 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITIONAL): Double-quote diagnostic.

1092 * tests/pr220.test: Modernize, and make sure the diagnostics
1093 contains the macro name.
1094 Report from Volker Boerchers.
1096 2004-05-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1098 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
1100 2004-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1103 the no-dist or cygnus options are used.

1106 Report from Daniel Jacobowitz.
1108 * aclocal.in (add_macro): Do not error out on undefined required
1109 macros. We are not sure they are really used, and Autoconf
1110 already diagnoses them.
1111 (scan_configure_dep): Diagnose missing AM_ macros as warnings rather
1113 * tests/aclocal3.test, tests/ammissing.test: Adjust to expect a
1114 warning instead of an error.
1115 * tests/aclocal8.test: AC_REQUIRE an undefined macro in an unused
1116 macro, and ensure aclocal works anyway.
1117 * tests/acloca17.test: New file.
1118 * tests/error.test: Delete, superseded by tests/acloca17.test.
1119 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca17.test and remove error.test.
1120 Report from Jim Meyering.
1122 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?!GENERIC_INFO?%DEST_INFO_PREFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1123 Fold a few lines to reduce the output by 5 lines.
1124 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1126 * automake.in (parse_arguments, MAIN): Give more precise
1127 diagnostics when no input file is found.
1128 * tests/output5.test: Adjust.
1129 Suggested by Jens Petersen.
1131 2004-05-14 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1133 * lib/am/libs.am (AR, ARFLAGS): Move these definition ...
1134 * automake.in (handle_libraries): ... here, so that they are
1135 output even for EXTRA_LIBRARIES.
1136 * tests/ar2.test: New file.
1137 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1138 Report from Kevin Ryde.

1145 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add werror2.test.
1146 * tests/substtarg.test, tests/cond36.test, tests/backsl4.test:
1147 Adjust to run automake with -Wno-error when the output is expected
1148 in spite of the error.
1149 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1151 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Remove
1152 doubled word in footnote.
1154 * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Also check for a
1155 $(srcdir)/old_source rule when computing the default source name.
1156 Propagate this $(srcdir) prefix in Automake variables.
1157 * tests/ltlibsrc.test (noinst_LTLIBRARIES): Explicitly refer to
1158 $(srcdir)/zoo_d_old2_la.c. This fixes another failure with BSD Make.
1160 2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1162 * Makefile.am (fetch): Work even with FreeBSD "make", which
1163 uses sh -e and thus errors-out if a simple-command fails.
1164 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Likewise.
1165 * lib/am/ltlib.am (clean-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Likewise.
1166 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Likewise.
1168 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1170 * tests/lex3.test, tests/yacc6.test: Require GNU Make.
1171 Fixing these for BSD Make requires invasive changes (lexers and
1172 parsers must be built into $srcdir, and--most annoyingly--all
1173 references to parse.h must be changed to $(srcdir)/parse.h).
1174 Report from Mark D. Baushke.
1176 2004-05-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1178 * tests/defs.in (GNUmake): Grep for GNU to parry FreeBSD make.
1179 Report from Mark D. Baushke.

1189 2004-04-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1191 * automake.in (check_typos): Clarify the diagnostic.
1192 * tests/warnopts.test: Adjust.
1194 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Turn VAR_ASIS variables into
1195 VAR_PRETTY variables to work around make implementation with
1196 limited line length, such as OSF1/Tru64 make.
1197 * tests/longline.test: New file.
1198 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1199 * tests/pluseq3.test, tests/pluseq8.test: Adjust.
1200 Report from Simon Josefsson.
1202 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Pass `.' to Exuberant Ctags if
1203 --etags-include is used but no other files are supplied, so it
1204 creates the TAGS file anyway.
1205 Report from Akim Demaille.
1207 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Nicolas Joly reported on
1208 2002-06-12 that dependencies were output in $dir.libs/$base.lo.d.
1209 Teun Burgers reported on 2004-03-30 they were in
1210 $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Try both.

1277 ($automake_will_process_aux_dir): New variable.
1278 (scan_autoconf_traces): Reorder @input_files so that the Makefile
1279 that distributes aux files is processed last. This way we do not
1280 have to process all files twice using
1281 $automake_will_process_aux_dir.
1282 (require_file_internal): Suggest a full run of automake when

1342 the old "test -f" + "rm -f" + "mv" method only if "mv -f" does
1343 not work. This improves performance in the usual case where
1344 "mv -f" works. It also lets us install the "mv" command

1670 $(am__vpath_adj_setup), and $(am__strip_dir) in install and
1671 uninstall rules. This fixes installation of nobase_ files in
1672 VPATH setups with Sun and OSF1/Tru64 Make.

1689 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Do not use `-m 0755'. This overrides special bits
1690 and break setups where 775 directories are expected. Just obey
1691 umask as we did in the past.
1692 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1694 2004-01-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1696 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Do not compare $outfile to ''
1697 as $outfile might not be defined at all.

1700 Automake variable definition. Ensure consistent :=/+=/=
1701 definitions only for variables that have been and are defined by

1719 * tests/libtool5.test, tests/ltcond.test, tests/ltcond2.test,
1720 * tests/ltconv.test: Run automake with --add-missing, because
1721 the CVS version of libtoolize no longer install config.sub and
1722 config.guess by default.
1724 Fix for PR automake/319:
1725 * aclocal.in (scan_m4_files): Scan configure.ac.
1726 (trace_used_macros, write_aclocal): Remove configure.ac from the

1737 (strip_redundant_includes): New function.
1738 (trace_used_macros): Call it.

1746 * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define DEP_FILES.
1747 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Extract included

1749 * tests/depend.test, tests/depend4.test, tests/exsource.test:
1751 Suggested by Tom Tromey.
1753 Do not output .lo rules for programs and static libraries objects,
1754 and do not output .o/.obj rules for libtool libraries. This is
1755 about explicit rules only, not inference rules.
1756 * automake.in (handle_single_transform_list): Rename as ...
1757 (handle_single_transform): ... this. Take a single file
1758 to transform (it was only called this way) and accept a new
1759 %transform argument. Fill %lang_specific_files with list
1760 references instead of strings, and append %transform to each

1765 %lang_specific_files, and honor its %transform part.
1766 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Override
1767 %NONLIBTOOL% and %LIBTOOL% while calling handle_source_transform.

1770 * lib/am/depend2.am (%OBJ%, %OBJOBJ%): Define only if %NONLIBTOOL%.
1771 * tests/libtool3.test: Augment to check Makefile.ins for unneeded
1773 Suggested by Thomas Fitzsimmons.
1775 * automake.in, aclocal.in: Bump copyright years.
