5 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
7 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
9 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
10 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
11 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
12 if the usual candidates show up.
14 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
16 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
18 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
20 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream
23 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
25 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
26 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
28 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
30 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
31 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
33 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
35 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
36 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
39 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
41 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
43 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
44 New upstream versions.
46 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
48 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
50 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
52 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
53 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
54 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
55 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
56 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
58 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
60 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
61 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
62 Report from Harald Dunkel.
64 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
66 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
67 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
68 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
69 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
71 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
73 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
74 `mkdir -p' does not work.
75 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
76 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
77 Report from Noah Friedman.
79 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
80 Report from Karl Berry.
82 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
83 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
85 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
86 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
87 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
89 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
91 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
92 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
93 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
94 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
95 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
96 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
97 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
98 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
99 Report from Ed Hartnett.
101 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
103 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
105 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
106 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
107 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
108 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
109 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
111 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
113 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
114 Fix redirections in previous patch.
116 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
118 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
119 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
120 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
121 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
122 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
123 Report from Bob Proulx.
125 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
127 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
129 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
131 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
134 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
135 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
136 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
137 Report from Tom Tromey.

877 2004-12-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
879 * doc/automake.texi (Per-Object Flags): New node.
881 2004-12-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
884 * lib/am/java.am (install-%DIR%JAVA, uninstall-%DIR%JAVA): Do
885 not install *.class if "$(%DIR%_JAVA)" is empty.
886 * tests/java3.test: New file.
887 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
888 Report from Johannes Nicolai.
890 * doc/automake.texi (Java): Mention dist_ and add an example.

897 reset_dir_cache): New functions.
898 * automake.in (handle_dist, require_file_internal): Use them, so
899 that CHANGELOG is not confused with ChangeLog on case-insensitive
900 case-preserving file systems.
901 * tests/hfs.test: New file.
902 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hfs.test.
904 2004-12-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
906 * lib/mdate-sh: Don't use "set - x`$ls_command /`", as zsh mishandles
907 the spaces inside $ls_command. Problem reported by Loulou Pouchet in
908 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-12/msg00074.html>.
909 Don't use "set - x"; plain "set x" is enough, and simplifies debugging.
911 2004-12-05 Toshio Kuratomi <toshio@tiki-lounge.com>
913 * lib/py-compile: Add --destdir switch to py-compile that takes a
914 path argument that is not compiled into the file when byte compiling.
915 * lib/am/python.am: Use the new py-compile arguments to not include
916 DESTDIR in the byte compiled files.
917 * tests/python12.test: Test that DESTDIR won't be byte compiled into
920 2004-12-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
922 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Typo.
924 * doc/automake.texi: Use @acindex for Autoconf macros, and @vindex
925 for variables (@cvindex was previously used for both). Separate
926 these two indices in the output. Use @code, @file, and @command
927 in @cindex lines wherever appropriate so they render nicely.
929 2004-12-05 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
931 * doc/automake.texi (renamed objects, CVS): Typos.
933 2004-12-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
935 * doc/automake.texi (Flag Variables Ordering): New section.
936 (User Variables, Program and Library Variables): @xref it.
938 2004-11-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
940 * doc/automake.texi (Conditional Subdirectories): More comments
941 about non-distributed subdirectories.

965 * tests/postprog.test: Use `--' for fun.
966 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add automake.test.
967 Report from Eric Blake.
969 * lib/am/progs.am (installcheck-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Run programs with
970 /dev/null as input, so we do not hang on programs that read their
971 input without supporting --help and --version.
972 * lib/am/scripts.am (installcheck-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Likewise for scripts.
973 * tests/gnits2.test: Change scriptnok.sh to cat its input.
974 Report and fix from James Youngman.
976 2004-11-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
978 * aclocal.in (%file_seen): Rename as ...
979 (%file_added): ... this, and move it close to add_file(), the only
980 function that uses it.
982 * aclocal.in (version): Remove initial blank line and reproduce
983 the layout of automake --version. From Art Haas.
985 * aclocal.in (%file_type, FT_USER, FT_AUTOMAKE_SYSTEM): New variables.
986 (scan_m4_dirs): New function, extracted from ...
987 (scan_m4_files): ... here. Call scan_m4_files three times, for each
989 (scan_file): Take a file type argument to update %file_type.
990 (write_aclocal): Do not m4_include files that are not of type FT_USER.
991 * tests/dirlist.test: Make sure m4_include is not used for --acdir
994 * tests/defs.in (testaclocaldir): New variable.
995 * tests/aclocal.test: Use it to fix the test. Report from
998 2004-11-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1000 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Fix the invocation of
1001 AC_PATH_PROGS to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no interpreter
1002 is found (this worked correctly only when a minimal version was
1003 passed to AM_PATH_PYTHON). Report from Stepan Kasal.
1004 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Define using m4_define_default,
1005 so we can easily override the list from the test suite.
1006 * tests/python11.test: New file.
1007 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add python11.test.
1009 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Make clearer that -module
1010 should appear explicitly in _LDFLAGS.
1012 2004-11-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1014 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correctly recognize --print-ac-dir.
1015 * tests/aclocal.test: Check --print-ac-dir and a unknown option.
1017 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Fix detection of unexisting default
1018 $(datadir)/aclocal. Report from Akim.
1020 2004-11-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1022 * aclocal.in ($acdir): Rename as ...
1023 (@system_includes): ... this.

1025 ($default_acdir, $default_dirlist): Remove.
1026 (parse_arguments): Populate @user_includes, @automake_includes, and
1027 @system_includes instead of filling a unique @dirlist array.
1028 ("MAIN"): Adjust to scan m4 files in @user_includes,
1029 @automake_includes, and @system_includes.
1031 2004-11-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1033 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correct comment. From Akim.
1035 2004-11-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1037 * aclocal.in: Use Automake::ChannelDefs, and adjust all output
1038 to be done via `fatal', `msg', `verb', or `prog_error'.
1039 (version): New function.
1040 (parse_arguments): Rewrite using Getopt::Long, call &version, and
1041 honor -W and --warning.
1043 (trace_used_macros): Do not trace the first arguments of macros
1044 for which we do not need it. This caused failures because of
1045 unexpected newlines in the output.
1046 * doc/automake.texi (aclocal options): Document -W and --warning.
1047 * tests/defs.in (ACLOCAL): Always use -Werror, to catch Perl
1048 warnings about uninitialized variables.
1050 2004-11-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1052 * tests/defs.in: Do not distinguish VERBOSE=x from
1053 VERBOSE=anything_but_x, always turn on shell traces.
1055 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Make sure $map_traced_defs{$m} exists
1056 before using it. Suppress a warning observable in test/acloca16.test.
1057 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1059 2004-11-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1061 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Make sure $ENV{'MAKEFLAGS'} exists
1062 before inspecting it; this fixes "uninitialized value in
1063 concatenation" diagnostics when flock fails.
1064 Report from Gary V. Vaughan.
1066 * aclocal.in: Use strict and -w. Declare local variables with `my',
1067 and get rid of `local'.
1068 (scan_m4_files, add_macro): Reindent these functions while we are
1071 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
1073 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Spelling and grammar corrections
1074 from Ralf Wildenhues.
1076 2004-10-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1078 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Augment with an example setup.
1079 (LTLIBOBJ): Rename as ...
1080 (LTLIBOBJS): ... this. Link to LIBOBJS, and mention LTALLOCA.
1082 2004-10-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1084 * doc/automake.texi: Untabify, tabs in the examples are poorly
1086 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Grep tabs in the manual.
1088 * tests/comment8.test: Use $MAKE, not make.
1090 2004-10-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1092 * tests/distcom3.test: Typo.
1094 2004-10-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1096 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Convenience Libraries): Explain how
1097 to force the linker selection.
1099 * lib/install-sh: Fix the dirname emulation to ignore trailing
1100 slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'. This
1101 caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
1102 * tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
1103 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
1105 2004-10-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1107 * automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
1108 by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
1109 target name. Simplify this function to simply conditionally
1110 prepend $U to the given extension.
1111 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Hard-code
1112 the extension to use. This way Automake won't mistake a program
1113 named `foo.la' as a libtool library.
1114 * tests/primary3.test: New file.
1115 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add primary3.test.
1117 2004-10-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1119 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Link to node Extending for examples.
1120 (Extending): More comments about install-data-hook vs
1121 install-exec-hook, and link to Install.
1123 * configure.ac: Export @am_AUTOCONF@.
1124 * tests/defs.in (AUTOCONF): Define as @am_AUTOCONF@, not @AUTOCONF@,
1125 so the test suite runs `autoconf' and not `missing --run autoconf'.
1126 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing
1127 to be used in front of autoconf even if the user has exported
1128 AUTOCONF. This fixes two spurious failures reported by
1131 * lib/compile: Handle output.obj in addition to output.o.
1132 * tests/compile.test: Check for this.
1134 2004-10-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1136 * doc/automake.texi (Sources): Typo, reported by Karl Berry.
1138 2004-10-10 Kelley Cook <kcook@gcc.gnu.org> (tiny change)

1149 2004-10-10 Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> (tiny change)
1151 * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): Check dependency tracking mode for CCAS.
1152 * automake.in (cppasm): Use the dependency tracking more for CCAS.
1153 * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Note that *.S are
1154 preprocessed with CPPFLAGS.
1156 2004-10-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
1158 * automake.in (Languages): Split .s (asm) and .S (cppasm) into
1159 separate languages. Make cppasm (Preprocessed Assembler) aware
1160 of CPPFLAGS, AM_CPPFLAGS.
1161 (handle_languages): Fix typo.
1162 (lang_cppasm_rewrite): New function.
1164 2004-09-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1166 * tests/subobj9.test: Adjust regexes after previous patch.
1168 2004-09-28 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1170 * automake.in (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable): Output
1171 Libtool's --tag= option before --mode=compile, because depcomp use
1172 --mode=compile as end marker for libtool arguments.
1173 (define_linker_variable): Likewise before --mode=link, for
1175 * tests/pr307.test: Make sure dependency files are updated. That
1176 was not the case because depcomp thought `--tag=CC' was the
1177 compiler to get dependencies from.
1178 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
1180 2004-09-26 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1182 * configure.ac: Require Perl 5.6.
1183 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Require Perl 5.6 (not done in
1184 lib/Automake/General.pm because it is shared with Autoconf),
1185 and use `our' instead of `use vars'.
1186 * aclocal.in (rel2abs): Remove.
1187 (scan_configure_dep): Use File::Spec->rel2abs instead.
1189 * tests/compile.test, tests/instsh2.test, tests/instspc.test: Use
1190 two consecutive spaces in filename instead of one, to catch mistake
1191 like `echo $val | ...`.
1192 * tests/README: Suggest this.
1193 Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
1195 2004-09-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1197 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Document -local targets.

1236 * doc/automake.texi (Dependencies): Link to Dependency Tracking
1238 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Link to GNU make, Sources (for
1239 BUILT_SOURCES), and update the paragraph about the "plan" to
1240 inline dependency tracking with gcc3.
1242 * doc/automake.texi (History): New node.
1243 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): New node, filled with a Texinfo
1244 version of Tom Tromey's ``Dependency Tracking in Automake''
1245 document, initially published on the Automake homepage on

1255 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1257 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (_print_message): Handle uniq_part with
1259 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Set uniq_part so that the
1260 AM_PROG_CC_C_O diagnostic is output only once for subdir objects
1261 and only once for objects with per-target flags.
1263 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Print files and locations
1264 for AM_PROG_CC_C_O errors.
1265 (handle_single_transform): Pass $var to &$subr so it can
1268 * lib/compile, lib/elisp-comp, lib/install-sh, lib/ylwrap: Use $ret
1269 instead of $status which is read-only in Zsh.

1275 -DPACKAGE_STRING="foo 0.1").
1276 * tests/compile.test: New file.
1277 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add compile.test.
1279 2004-09-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1283 maintainer-clean-generic.
1284 Report from Bob Friesenhahn.
1286 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Do not require AM_PROG_CC_C_O for
1288 (handle_single_transform): Pass nonansi_obj to &$subr so
1289 lang_c_rewrite can distinguish libtool objects.
1290 * tests/libtool7.test: Use subdir-objects without using AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
1291 Report from Gary V. Vaughan and Patrick Welche.
1293 2004-09-07 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
1295 * automake.in ($PATH_PATTERN): Add `+'.
1297 2004-09-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1300 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add missing3.test.
1302 2004-09-07 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1304 * missing: Handle all command line options together. Add a
1305 separate case statement to detect failed runs, and fail
1306 silently there if --help or --version is passed to the program.
1308 2004-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1310 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
1312 For PR automake/433:

1319 2004-08-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1321 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (new): Precompute 'string' and 'conds'
1322 in place instead of as a side-effect of calling ->string and ->conds.
1323 This saves method-lookup time, simplify ->string and ->conds, and
1324 allows to create the object only when necessary.
1325 (string, conds): Simplify, now that the result is precomputed.
1327 * automake.in (%am_file_cache): New hash.
1328 (make_paragraphs): Cache .am files with comments stripped to save
1329 some useless input and substitutions.

1343 2004-08-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1345 Speed up make_paragraphs.
1346 * automake.in (handle_languages): Always define SUBDIROBJ,
1347 DERIVED-EXT, and DIST_SOURCE, because the new transform() will
1348 abort on unknown tokens.
1349 (transform): Rewrite with different semantics.
1350 (make_paragraphs): Make a single pass over the paragraph to
1351 transform all template tokens instead of doing as much passes as
1354 * automake.in ($libtool_new_api): New variable.
1355 (handle_libtool): Do not libtool's aux files if $libtool_new_api.
1356 (scan_autoconf_traces) <LT_SUPPORTED_TAG>: Set $libtool_new_api.
1357 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE>: Remember only the
1358 first location for required files.

1362 Support AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE, and fix requirement of AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
1363 * automake.in (%required_aux_file): New hash.
1364 (handle_single_transform, lang_c_rewrite): Do not explicitly
1365 require 'compile', this is now an internal detail of
1367 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE and fill

1370 of explicitly requiring install-sh and missing.
1371 (generate_makefile): Do not require config.sub and config.guess.
1372 (handle_single_transform): Pass $have_per_exec_flags to
1374 * configure.ac, m4/init.m4: Require Autoconf 2.59a.
1375 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
1376 (Program and Library Variables, Options, Public macros):
1377 AM_PROG_CC_C_O is required when per-target flags or subdir-objects
1378 are used with C sources.
1379 * m4/minuso.m4: Require `compile' using AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
1380 * m4/missing.m4: Require `missing' similarly.
1381 * tests/acsubst2.test, tests/distcom2.test, tests/distcom6.test,
1382 tests/specflg.test, tests/specflg2.test, tests/specflg3.test,
1383 tests/specflg6.test, tests/specflg7.test, tests/specflg8.test,
1384 tests/specflg9.test, tests/subobj7.test, tests/target-cflags.test,

1389 * automake.in (yacc_lex_finish_helper): Fix definition of YLWRAP
1390 when ylwrap is installed in a default aux dir found in a parent
1392 * tests/subpkg.test: Augment to check that YLWRAP is installed
1394 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): ylwrap is not sought is the
1396 Report from Norman Gray.
1398 2004-08-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1400 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Update documentation for
1401 AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET.
1403 * automake.in (AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): Replace by ...
1404 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): ... these.
1405 (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan for the latter three macros instead of

1410 Report and test case from Norman Gray.
1412 2004-08-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1414 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Update "#Extending%20aclocal" URL, makeinfo
1415 4.7 now outputs "#Extending-aclocal".
1417 2004-08-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1418 Derek R. Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1420 Disable Lex and Yacc rules whenever possible if AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1421 is used and maintainer-mode disabled.
1422 * automake.in (Automake::struct): Define nodist_specific.
1423 Set it in languages yacc, yaccxx, lex, and lexxx.
1424 (register_language): Default nodist_specific to 0.
1425 (handle_single_transform): Honor nodist_specific.

1449 2004-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1451 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Remove `.' from the mkdir_p
1452 definition, it causes `make install' to fails for user with no
1453 right to write in the source-tree.
1454 * automake.in (handle_configure): Do not use mkdir_p in the
1455 definition for $(mkdir_p).
1456 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1458 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Typo in comment.
1460 2004-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1467 * automake.in (check_directory): Quote $dir in regexp.
1469 2004-07-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1471 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8e.
1473 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8d.
1475 * lib/config-ml.in, lib/config.sub, lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex:
1476 New upstream versions.
1478 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
1479 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Use $(X), not ${X}.
1481 * tests/installdir.test: installdirs-local should appear three times,
1482 since the change from 2004-07-11 will make it PHONY.
1484 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Always use $(DIST_SUBDIRS) now
1485 that it is always defined. This is less confusing for users
1486 reading the generated Makefiles.
1487 * automake.in (handle_dist): Do not substitute DIST_SUBDIR_NAME.
1489 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
1490 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Output .htp, and then rename to .html
1491 on success. In case the target is a directory, this ensures its
1492 time stamp is updated and the no files are left over inside.
1493 * tests/txinfo21.test: Augment to test missing timestamp update
1494 reported by Akim Demaille.
1496 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Rename as ...
1497 (Directories): ... this, and split into ...
1498 (Subdirectories, Conditional Subdirectories): ... these.
1499 (Subdirectories): Illustrate the use of `.'.
1500 (Conditional Subdirectories): Describe SUBDIRS and DIST_SUBDIRS

1511 (handle_single_transform): Pass %transform to target_hook.
1512 (handle_source_transform): Define DIST_SOURCE to tell whether
1513 a the source of a file is distributed or not.
1514 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Check DIST_SOURCE, and do not distribute
1515 the generated header if the .y source is not distributed.
1516 * tests/pr204.test: Use AM_YFLAGS = -d and make sure generated
1517 headers are not distributed.
1519 2004-07-12 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com> (tiny change)
1521 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Improve ustar file name length
1522 discussion. Reference tar manual.
1524 2004-07-12 Ray Simard <rhs.techlists@sylvan-glade.com> (tiny change)
1526 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Fix precondition check.
1528 2004-07-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1530 For PR automake/428:
1531 Support for conditionally defined -hook and -local rules.
1532 * automake.in (user_phony_rule): New function.
1533 (handle_dist, handle_install, handle_all, do_check_merge_target,
1534 handle_factored_dependencies): Use user_phony_rule before
1535 adding a user -hook or -local rule as a dependency to ensure
1536 it is always defined an phony.
1537 * tests/cond37.test, tests/condhook.test: New files.
1538 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
1539 Report from Simon Josefsson and Nik A. Melchior.
1541 2004-07-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1543 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Warn that you should create
1544 /tmp/staging before installing into it, to avoid security problems.
1545 * lib/install-sh: Remove support for -b= and -t= options; this
1546 has been moribund for a decade.
1547 Add support for -t and -T options (new in coreutils install).
1548 -c option now does nothing (the default is to copy), for
1549 compatibility with BSD and coreutils 'install'.
1550 Fix usage message; it referred to nonexistent variables.
1551 Don't assume 'lasterr' is unset in environment.
1552 * tests/instsh2.test: Don't assume that install-sh without -c
1553 moves (it now copies). Add tests for new -t and -T options.
1555 2004-06-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1557 For Debian Bug#254372:
1558 * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Rewrite the paragraph
1559 explaining m4_include is used for relative files.
1561 2004-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1563 For Debian Bug #251820:
1564 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Keep track of the location where each
1565 file is included, and display it when reporting a missing file.
1566 Pass this location to scan_file as a second argument.
1567 (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_file.
1568 * tests/acloca14.test: Add a test for this diagnostic.
1570 2004-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1572 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Split the definition of $_am_tools
1573 so it works with Solaris and Tru64 /bin/sh.
1574 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1576 2004-06-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1578 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Introduce $_am_tools to work around a
1579 bug in NetBSD /bin/sh.
1580 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1582 2004-06-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1584 * tests/defs.in (required=icc): Use `-V -help' instead of
1585 `-V -dryrun'. icc 8.0 fails on the latter.
1586 * tests/depcomp5.test: Require depmode=icc for icc 7.x, and
1587 depmod=gcc otherwise.
1588 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1590 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Do no
1591 `rm -f $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' if `$(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' is empty.
1592 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1594 2004-05-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1596 * NEWS: Make clearer that we do not output partial Makefile.ins on
1598 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1600 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Use $dir$base.o.d instead
1601 of $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Libtool 1.5 causes both to be output,
1602 and we will clean the second automatically during distclean.
1603 Using the latter and leaving the former as we did before cause
1604 "files left in build directory" failures during distcheck.
1605 Suggested by Nicolas Joly.
1607 * doc/automake.texi (Built sources example): Explain what
1608 nodist_foo_SOURCES is (not) useful to, and use it in all the
1610 (Tags): Mention nodist_noinst_HEADERS and nodist_prog_SOURCES.
1611 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1613 2004-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1615 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8c.
1617 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8b.
1619 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR) <cpio>: Specify -o and -i option first,
1620 by POSIX; and use option -d in am_untar.
1622 * tests/defs.in (PATH): Export it.
1624 * lib/am/multilib.am: Add $(MAKE) comments to multido and
1625 multiclean lines, to enable parallel make. Based on a patch
1626 by Alexandre Oliva applied to newlib on 2003-10-15.
1628 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1630 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for LT_SUPPORTED_TAG
1631 instead of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, since that how CVS Libtool has been
1633 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not grep for --tag=CC, since CVS
1634 Libtool (unlike Libtool 1.5) does not has any CC tag.
1636 * tests/tar2.test: Skip the test if no pax archiver were found.
1638 * NEWS: Sync with branch-1-8, and reorganize current entry.
1640 * automake.in (handle_libraries): Make the diagnostic about
1641 non standard libraries a warning in foreign packages. This
1642 is already the case in handle_ltlibraries.
1643 (handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Suggest a standard
1644 library name in the diagnostic, to help newcomers.
1645 * tests/stdlib.test, tests/stdlib2.test: Check for these
1648 Check directory names for unportable names. Shaking the code
1649 to check this also led to the removal of the no-"/"-in-SUBDIRS
1650 restriction, and a fix to _do_recursive_traversal.
1652 * automake.in (check_directory): New function extracted from
1653 handle_subdirs, and augmented to check for reserved W32/DOS name.
1654 (check_directories_in_var): New function.
1655 (handle_subdirs): Call check_directories_in_var. Doing so also
1656 suppress the restriction that SUBDIRS should not contain slashes.
1657 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR>: Call check_directory
1658 to ensure the argument exists and is safe.
1659 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Do not say that src/subdir
1660 cannot be put in SUBDIRS.
1661 (Dist): Mention that distdir and top_distdir can be absolute.
1662 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_do_recursive_traversal) Support
1663 undefined $fun_collect, and fix two bugs introduced with
1664 skip_ac_subst on 2004-03-07.
1665 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Use absolute distdir and
1666 top_distdir when recursing, because we can no longer prepend only
1667 `..' in case of SUBDIRS with `/'.
1668 * tests/auxdir4.test, tests/subdir9.test: New files.
1669 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add auxdir4.test.
1670 * tests/cond2.test, tests/subdir7.test: Augment to check location
1673 2004-05-21 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> (tiny changes)
1675 * tests/txinfo22.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Use aux1, not aux, for
1676 cygwin compatibility.
1677 * tests/yacc6.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Likewise.
1679 * tests/conflnk3.test: Isolate checking for working `test -e' into
1680 a subshell, to skip this test on broken /bin/sh of solaris.
1682 2004-05-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1684 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITIONAL): Double-quote diagnostic.
1685 * tests/condd.test: Define a macro with the same name as a
1687 * tests/pr220.test: Modernize, and make sure the diagnostics
1688 contains the macro name.
1689 Report from Volker Boerchers.
1691 2004-05-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1693 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
1695 2004-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1697 * automake.in (handle_dist): Always define DIST_SUBDIRS, even when
1698 the no-dist or cygnus options are used.
1699 * tests/clean2.test: New file.
1700 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add clean2.test.
1701 Report from Daniel Jacobowitz.
1703 * aclocal.in (add_macro): Do not error out on undefined required
1704 macros. We are not sure they are really used, and Autoconf
1705 already diagnoses them.
1706 (scan_configure_dep): Diagnose missing AM_ macros as warnings rather
1708 * tests/aclocal3.test, tests/ammissing.test: Adjust to expect a
1709 warning instead of an error.
1710 * tests/aclocal8.test: AC_REQUIRE an undefined macro in an unused
1711 macro, and ensure aclocal works anyway.
1712 * tests/acloca17.test: New file.
1713 * tests/error.test: Delete, superseded by tests/acloca17.test.
1714 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca17.test and remove error.test.
1715 Report from Jim Meyering.
1717 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?!GENERIC_INFO?%DEST_INFO_PREFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1718 Fold a few lines to reduce the output by 5 lines.
1719 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1721 * automake.in (parse_arguments, MAIN): Give more precise
1722 diagnostics when no input file is found.
1723 * tests/output5.test: Adjust.
1724 Suggested by Jens Petersen.
1726 2004-05-14 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1728 * lib/am/libs.am (AR, ARFLAGS): Move these definition ...
1729 * automake.in (handle_libraries): ... here, so that they are
1730 output even for EXTRA_LIBRARIES.
1731 * tests/ar2.test: New file.
1732 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1733 Report from Kevin Ryde.
1735 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1739 * tests/werror2.test: New file.
1740 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add werror2.test.
1741 * tests/substtarg.test, tests/cond36.test, tests/backsl4.test:
1742 Adjust to run automake with -Wno-error when the output is expected
1743 in spite of the error.
1744 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1746 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Remove
1747 doubled word in footnote.
1749 * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Also check for a
1750 $(srcdir)/old_source rule when computing the default source name.
1751 Propagate this $(srcdir) prefix in Automake variables.
1752 * tests/ltlibsrc.test (noinst_LTLIBRARIES): Explicitly refer to
1753 $(srcdir)/zoo_d_old2_la.c. This fixes another failure with BSD Make.
1755 2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1757 * Makefile.am (fetch): Work even with FreeBSD "make", which
1758 uses sh -e and thus errors-out if a simple-command fails.
1759 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Likewise.
1760 * lib/am/ltlib.am (clean-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Likewise.
1761 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Likewise.
1763 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1765 * tests/lex3.test, tests/yacc6.test: Require GNU Make.
1766 Fixing these for BSD Make requires invasive changes (lexers and
1767 parsers must be built into $srcdir, and--most annoyingly--all
1768 references to parse.h must be changed to $(srcdir)/parse.h).
1769 Report from Mark D. Baushke.
1771 2004-05-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1773 * tests/defs.in (GNUmake): Grep for GNU to parry FreeBSD make.
1774 Report from Mark D. Baushke.

1786 * automake.in (check_typos): Clarify the diagnostic.
1787 * tests/warnopts.test: Adjust.
1789 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Turn VAR_ASIS variables into
1790 VAR_PRETTY variables to work around make implementation with
1791 limited line length, such as OSF1/Tru64 make.
1792 * tests/longline.test: New file.
1793 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1794 * tests/pluseq3.test, tests/pluseq8.test: Adjust.
1795 Report from Simon Josefsson.
1797 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Pass `.' to Exuberant Ctags if
1798 --etags-include is used but no other files are supplied, so it
1799 creates the TAGS file anyway.
1800 Report from Akim Demaille.
1802 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Nicolas Joly reported on
1803 2002-06-12 that dependencies were output in $dir.libs/$base.lo.d.
1804 Teun Burgers reported on 2004-03-30 they were in
1805 $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Try both.

1853 before AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
1854 * tests/auxdir3.test: New file (exercise this diagnostic).

1871 * automake.in ($automake_needs_to_reprocess_all_files): Remove.
1872 ($automake_will_process_aux_dir): New variable.
1873 (scan_autoconf_traces): Reorder @input_files so that the Makefile
1874 that distributes aux files is processed last. This way we do not
1875 have to process all files twice using
1876 $automake_will_process_aux_dir.

1937 the old "test -f" + "rm -f" + "mv" method only if "mv -f" does
1938 not work. This improves performance in the usual case where
