534 * tests/defs.in (testaclocaldir): New variable.
535 * tests/aclocal.test: Use it to fix the test. Report from
538 2004-11-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
540 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Fix the invocation of
541 AC_PATH_PROGS to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no interpreter
542 is found (this worked correctly only when a minimal version was
543 passed to AM_PATH_PYTHON). Report from Stepan Kasal.
544 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Define using m4_define_default,
545 so we can easily override the list from the test suite.
546 * tests/python11.test: New file.
547 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add python11.test.
549 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Make clearer that -module
550 should appear explicitly in _LDFLAGS.
552 2004-11-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
554 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correctly recognize --print-ac-dir.
555 * tests/aclocal.test: Check --print-ac-dir and a unknown option.
557 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Fix detection of unexisting default
558 $(datadir)/aclocal. Report from Akim.
560 2004-11-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
562 * aclocal.in ($acdir): Rename as ...
563 (@system_includes): ... this.
564 (@user_includes, @automake_includes): New variables.
565 ($default_acdir, $default_dirlist): Remove.
566 (parse_arguments): Populate @user_includes, @automake_includes, and
567 @system_includes instead of filling a unique @dirlist array.
568 ("MAIN"): Adjust to scan m4 files in @user_includes,
569 @automake_includes, and @system_includes.
571 2004-11-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
573 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Correct comment. From Akim.
575 2004-11-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
577 * aclocal.in: Use Automake::ChannelDefs, and adjust all output
578 to be done via `fatal', `msg', `verb', or `prog_error'.
579 (version): New function.
580 (parse_arguments): Rewrite using Getopt::Long, call &version, and
581 honor -W and --warning.
583 (trace_used_macros): Do not trace the first arguments of macros
584 for which we do not need it. This caused failures because of
585 unexpected newlines in the output.
586 * doc/automake.texi (aclocal options): Document -W and --warning.
587 * tests/defs.in (ACLOCAL): Always use -Werror, to catch Perl
588 warnings about uninitialized variables.
590 2004-11-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
592 * tests/defs.in: Do not distinguish VERBOSE=x from
593 VERBOSE=anything_but_x, always turn on shell traces.
595 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Make sure $map_traced_defs{$m} exists
596 before using it. Suppress a warning observable in test/acloca16.test.
597 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
599 2004-11-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
601 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Make sure $ENV{'MAKEFLAGS'} exists
602 before inspecting it; this fixes "uninitialized value in
603 concatenation" diagnostics when flock fails.
604 Report from Gary V. Vaughan.
606 * aclocal.in: Use strict and -w. Declare local variables with `my',
607 and get rid of `local'.
608 (scan_m4_files, add_macro): Reindent these functions while we are
611 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.
613 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Spelling and grammar corrections
614 from Ralf Wildenhues.

618 * doc/automake.texi (LIBOBJS): Augment with an example setup.
619 (LTLIBOBJ): Rename as ...
620 (LTLIBOBJS): ... this. Link to LIBOBJS, and mention LTALLOCA.
622 2004-10-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
624 * doc/automake.texi: Untabify, tabs in the examples are poorly
626 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Grep tabs in the manual.
628 * tests/comment8.test: Use $MAKE, not make.
630 2004-10-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
632 * tests/distcom3.test: Typo.
634 2004-10-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
636 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Convenience Libraries): Explain how
637 to force the linker selection.
639 * lib/install-sh: Fix the dirname emulation to ignore trailing
640 slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'. This
641 caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
642 * tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
643 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
645 2004-10-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
647 * automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
648 by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
649 target name. Simplify this function to simply conditionally
650 prepend $U to the given extension.
651 (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Hard-code
652 the extension to use. This way Automake won't mistake a program
653 named `foo.la' as a libtool library.
654 * tests/primary3.test: New file.
655 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add primary3.test.
657 2004-10-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
659 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Link to node Extending for examples.
660 (Extending): More comments about install-data-hook vs
661 install-exec-hook, and link to Install.
663 * configure.ac: Export @am_AUTOCONF@.
664 * tests/defs.in (AUTOCONF): Define as @am_AUTOCONF@, not @AUTOCONF@,
665 so the test suite runs `autoconf' and not `missing --run autoconf'.
666 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing
667 to be used in front of autoconf even if the user has exported
668 AUTOCONF. This fixes two spurious failures reported by
671 * lib/compile: Handle output.obj in addition to output.o.
672 * tests/compile.test: Check for this.
674 2004-10-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
676 * doc/automake.texi (Sources): Typo, reported by Karl Berry.
678 2004-10-10 Kelley Cook <kcook@gcc.gnu.org> (tiny change)

689 2004-10-10 Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> (tiny change)
691 * m4/as.m4 (AM_PROG_AS): Check dependency tracking mode for CCAS.
692 * automake.in (cppasm): Use the dependency tracking more for CCAS.
693 * doc/automake.texi (Assembly Support): Note that *.S are
694 preprocessed with CPPFLAGS.
696 2004-10-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
698 * automake.in (Languages): Split .s (asm) and .S (cppasm) into
699 separate languages. Make cppasm (Preprocessed Assembler) aware
700 of CPPFLAGS, AM_CPPFLAGS.
701 (handle_languages): Fix typo.
702 (lang_cppasm_rewrite): New function.
704 2004-09-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
706 * tests/subobj9.test: Adjust regexes after previous patch.
708 2004-09-28 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
710 * automake.in (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable): Output
711 Libtool's --tag= option before --mode=compile, because depcomp use
712 --mode=compile as end marker for libtool arguments.
713 (define_linker_variable): Likewise before --mode=link, for
715 * tests/pr307.test: Make sure dependency files are updated. That
716 was not the case because depcomp thought `--tag=CC' was the
717 compiler to get dependencies from.
718 Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
720 2004-09-26 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
722 * configure.ac: Require Perl 5.6.
723 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Require Perl 5.6 (not done in
724 lib/Automake/General.pm because it is shared with Autoconf),
725 and use `our' instead of `use vars'.
726 * aclocal.in (rel2abs): Remove.
727 (scan_configure_dep): Use File::Spec->rel2abs instead.
729 * tests/compile.test, tests/instsh2.test, tests/instspc.test: Use
730 two consecutive spaces in filename instead of one, to catch mistake
731 like `echo $val | ...`.
732 * tests/README: Suggest this.
733 Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
735 2004-09-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
737 * doc/automake.texi (Clean): Document -local targets.
739 2004-09-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

780 inline dependency tracking with gcc3.
782 * doc/automake.texi (History): New node.
783 (Dependency Tracking Evolution): New node, filled with a Texinfo
784 version of Tom Tromey's ``Dependency Tracking in Automake''
785 document, initially published on the Automake homepage on
788 2004-09-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
790 * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Make sure AC_PROG_CC is never
791 called after this macro.

795 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
797 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (_print_message): Handle uniq_part with
799 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Set uniq_part so that the
800 AM_PROG_CC_C_O diagnostic is output only once for subdir objects
801 and only once for objects with per-target flags.
803 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Print files and locations
804 for AM_PROG_CC_C_O errors.
805 (handle_single_transform): Pass $var to &$subr so it can
808 * lib/compile, lib/elisp-comp, lib/install-sh, lib/ylwrap: Use $ret
809 instead of $status which is read-only in Zsh.
811 2004-09-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
812 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
814 * lib/compile: Preserve spaces in arguments (for example

824 Report from Bob Friesenhahn.
826 * automake.in (lang_c_rewrite): Do not require AM_PROG_CC_C_O for
828 (handle_single_transform): Pass nonansi_obj to &$subr so
829 lang_c_rewrite can distinguish libtool objects.
830 * tests/libtool7.test: Use subdir-objects without using AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
831 Report from Gary V. Vaughan and Patrick Welche.
833 2004-09-07 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
835 * automake.in ($PATH_PATTERN): Add `+'.
837 2004-09-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
839 * tests/missing3.test: New file (check for Paolo's change below).
840 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add missing3.test.
842 2004-09-07 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
844 * missing: Handle all command line options together. Add a
845 separate case statement to detect failed runs, and fail
846 silently there if --help or --version is passed to the program.
848 2004-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
850 * lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.

861 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (new): Precompute 'string' and 'conds'
862 in place instead of as a side-effect of calling ->string and ->conds.
863 This saves method-lookup time, simplify ->string and ->conds, and

865 (string, conds): Simplify, now that the result is precomputed.
867 * automake.in (%am_file_cache): New hash.
868 (make_paragraphs): Cache .am files with comments stripped to save

885 Speed up make_paragraphs.
886 * automake.in (handle_languages): Always define SUBDIROBJ,
887 DERIVED-EXT, and DIST_SOURCE, because the new transform() will
888 abort on unknown tokens.
889 (transform): Rewrite with different semantics.
890 (make_paragraphs): Make a single pass over the paragraph to
891 transform all template tokens instead of doing as much passes as
894 * automake.in ($libtool_new_api): New variable.

909 (scan_autoconf_files): Require all %required_aux_file instead
910 of explicitly requiring install-sh and missing.

912 (handle_single_transform): Pass $have_per_exec_flags to
914 * configure.ac, m4/init.m4: Require Autoconf 2.59a.
915 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.

940 * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Update documentation for
941 AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET.
943 * automake.in (AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): Replace by ...

991 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Remove `.' from the mkdir_p
992 definition, it causes `make install' to fails for user with no
993 right to write in the source-tree.
994 * automake.in (handle_configure): Do not use mkdir_p in the
995 definition for $(mkdir_p).
996 Report from Harlan Stenn.
998 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Typo in comment.
1000 2004-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1002 * doc/automake.texi (Libtool Modules): Typo in example.
1003 Report from Ulrich Eckhardt.

1019 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Use $(X), not ${X}.
1021 * tests/installdir.test: installdirs-local should appear three times,
1022 since the change from 2004-07-11 will make it PHONY.
1024 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Always use $(DIST_SUBDIRS) now
1025 that it is always defined. This is less confusing for users
1026 reading the generated Makefiles.

1029 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%.html,
1030 ?!GENERIC?%DEST_PREFIX%.html): Output .htp, and then rename to .html
1031 on success. In case the target is a directory, this ensures its

1034 reported by Akim Demaille.
1036 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Rename as ...

1055 the generated header if the .y source is not distributed.
1056 * tests/pr204.test: Use AM_YFLAGS = -d and make sure generated

1070 For PR automake/428:
1071 Support for conditionally defined -hook and -local rules.
1072 * automake.in (user_phony_rule): New function.
1073 (handle_dist, handle_install, handle_all, do_check_merge_target,
1074 handle_factored_dependencies): Use user_phony_rule before
1075 adding a user -hook or -local rule as a dependency to ensure
1076 it is always defined an phony.
1077 * tests/cond37.test, tests/condhook.test: New files.
1078 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
1079 Report from Simon Josefsson and Nik A. Melchior.
1081 2004-07-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1083 * doc/automake.texi (Install): Warn that you should create
1084 /tmp/staging before installing into it, to avoid security problems.
1085 * lib/install-sh: Remove support for -b= and -t= options; this
1086 has been moribund for a decade.
1087 Add support for -t and -T options (new in coreutils install).
1088 -c option now does nothing (the default is to copy), for
1089 compatibility with BSD and coreutils 'install'.
1090 Fix usage message; it referred to nonexistent variables.
1091 Don't assume 'lasterr' is unset in environment.
1092 * tests/instsh2.test: Don't assume that install-sh without -c
1093 moves (it now copies). Add tests for new -t and -T options.

1099 explaining m4_include is used for relative files.
1101 2004-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1103 For Debian Bug #251820:
1104 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Keep track of the location where each
1105 file is included, and display it when reporting a missing file.
1106 Pass this location to scan_file as a second argument.
1107 (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_file.
1108 * tests/acloca14.test: Add a test for this diagnostic.
1110 2004-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1113 so it works with Solaris and Tru64 /bin/sh.
1114 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1116 2004-06-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1118 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): Introduce $_am_tools to work around a
1119 bug in NetBSD /bin/sh.
1120 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1122 2004-06-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1124 * tests/defs.in (required=icc): Use `-V -help' instead of
1125 `-V -dryrun'. icc 8.0 fails on the latter.
1126 * tests/depcomp5.test: Require depmode=icc for icc 7.x, and
1127 depmod=gcc otherwise.
1128 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1130 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Do no
1131 `rm -f $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' if `$(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)' is empty.
1132 Report from Nicolas Joly.
1134 2004-05-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1136 * NEWS: Make clearer that we do not output partial Makefile.ins on
1138 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1140 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Use $dir$base.o.d instead
1141 of $dir.libs/$base.o.d. Libtool 1.5 causes both to be output,
1142 and we will clean the second automatically during distclean.
1143 Using the latter and leaving the former as we did before cause
1144 "files left in build directory" failures during distcheck.
1145 Suggested by Nicolas Joly.
1147 * doc/automake.texi (Built sources example): Explain what
1148 nodist_foo_SOURCES is (not) useful to, and use it in all the
1150 (Tags): Mention nodist_noinst_HEADERS and nodist_prog_SOURCES.
1151 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1153 2004-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1155 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8c.
1157 * configure.ac, NEWS: Bump version to 1.8b.
1159 * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR) <cpio>: Specify -o and -i option first,
1160 by POSIX; and use option -d in am_untar.
1162 * tests/defs.in (PATH): Export it.
1164 * lib/am/multilib.am: Add $(MAKE) comments to multido and
1165 multiclean lines, to enable parallel make. Based on a patch
1166 by Alexandre Oliva applied to newlib on 2003-10-15.
1168 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1170 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for LT_SUPPORTED_TAG
1171 instead of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, since that how CVS Libtool has been
1173 * tests/libtool3.test: Do not grep for --tag=CC, since CVS
1174 Libtool (unlike Libtool 1.5) does not has any CC tag.
1176 * tests/tar2.test: Skip the test if no pax archiver were found.
1178 * NEWS: Sync with branch-1-8, and reorganize current entry.
1180 * automake.in (handle_libraries): Make the diagnostic about
1181 non standard libraries a warning in foreign packages. This
1182 is already the case in handle_ltlibraries.
1183 (handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Suggest a standard
1184 library name in the diagnostic, to help newcomers.
1185 * tests/stdlib.test, tests/stdlib2.test: Check for these
1188 Check directory names for unportable names. Shaking the code
1189 to check this also led to the removal of the no-"/"-in-SUBDIRS
1190 restriction, and a fix to _do_recursive_traversal.
1192 * automake.in (check_directory): New function extracted from
1193 handle_subdirs, and augmented to check for reserved W32/DOS name.
1194 (check_directories_in_var): New function.
1195 (handle_subdirs): Call check_directories_in_var. Doing so also
1196 suppress the restriction that SUBDIRS should not contain slashes.
1197 (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR>: Call check_directory
1198 to ensure the argument exists and is safe.
1199 * doc/automake.texi (Top level): Do not say that src/subdir
1200 cannot be put in SUBDIRS.
1201 (Dist): Mention that distdir and top_distdir can be absolute.
1202 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_do_recursive_traversal) Support
1203 undefined $fun_collect, and fix two bugs introduced with
1204 skip_ac_subst on 2004-03-07.
1205 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Use absolute distdir and
1206 top_distdir when recursing, because we can no longer prepend only
1207 `..' in case of SUBDIRS with `/'.
1208 * tests/auxdir4.test, tests/subdir9.test: New files.
1209 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add auxdir4.test.
1210 * tests/cond2.test, tests/subdir7.test: Augment to check location
1213 2004-05-21 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> (tiny changes)
1215 * tests/txinfo22.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Use aux1, not aux, for
1216 cygwin compatibility.
1217 * tests/yacc6.test (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Likewise.
1219 * tests/conflnk3.test: Isolate checking for working `test -e' into
1220 a subshell, to skip this test on broken /bin/sh of solaris.
1222 2004-05-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1224 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITIONAL): Double-quote diagnostic.
1225 * tests/condd.test: Define a macro with the same name as a

1228 contains the macro name.
1229 Report from Volker Boerchers.
1231 2004-05-16 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1233 * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.
1235 2004-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1237 * automake.in (handle_dist): Always define DIST_SUBDIRS, even when
1238 the no-dist or cygnus options are used.
1239 * tests/clean2.test: New file.
1240 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add clean2.test.
1241 Report from Daniel Jacobowitz.
1243 * aclocal.in (add_macro): Do not error out on undefined required
1244 macros. We are not sure they are really used, and Autoconf
1245 already diagnoses them.
1246 (scan_configure_dep): Diagnose missing AM_ macros as warnings rather
1248 * tests/aclocal3.test, tests/ammissing.test: Adjust to expect a
1249 warning instead of an error.
1250 * tests/aclocal8.test: AC_REQUIRE an undefined macro in an unused
1251 macro, and ensure aclocal works anyway.
1252 * tests/acloca17.test: New file.
1253 * tests/error.test: Delete, superseded by tests/acloca17.test.
1254 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca17.test and remove error.test.
1255 Report from Jim Meyering.
1257 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?!GENERIC_INFO?%DEST_INFO_PREFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
1258 Fold a few lines to reduce the output by 5 lines.
1259 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1261 * automake.in (parse_arguments, MAIN): Give more precise
1262 diagnostics when no input file is found.
1263 * tests/output5.test: Adjust.
1264 Suggested by Jens Petersen.
1266 2004-05-14 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1268 * lib/am/libs.am (AR, ARFLAGS): Move these definition ...
1269 * automake.in (handle_libraries): ... here, so that they are
1270 output even for EXTRA_LIBRARIES.
1271 * tests/ar2.test: New file.
1272 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1273 Report from Kevin Ryde.

1282 Adjust to run automake with -Wno-error when the output is expected
1283 in spite of the error.
1284 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1286 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Remove
1287 doubled word in footnote.
1289 * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Also check for a
1290 $(srcdir)/old_source rule when computing the default source name.
1291 Propagate this $(srcdir) prefix in Automake variables.
1292 * tests/ltlibsrc.test (noinst_LTLIBRARIES): Explicitly refer to
1293 $(srcdir)/zoo_d_old2_la.c. This fixes another failure with BSD Make.
1295 2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1297 * Makefile.am (fetch): Work even with FreeBSD "make", which
1298 uses sh -e and thus errors-out if a simple-command fails.
1299 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Likewise.
1300 * lib/am/ltlib.am (clean-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Likewise.
1301 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Likewise.
1303 2004-05-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1305 * tests/lex3.test, tests/yacc6.test: Require GNU Make.
1306 Fixing these for BSD Make requires invasive changes (lexers and
1307 parsers must be built into $srcdir, and--most annoyingly--all
1308 references to parse.h must be changed to $(srcdir)/parse.h).
1309 Report from Mark D. Baushke.

1335 Report from Simon Josefsson.
1337 * lib/am/tags.am (TAGS): Pass `.' to Exuberant Ctags if
1338 --etags-include is used but no other files are supplied, so it
1339 creates the TAGS file anyway.
1340 Report from Akim Demaille.
1342 * lib/depcomp (tru64) [libtool]: Nicolas Joly reported on
1343 2002-06-12 that dependencies were output in $dir.libs/$base.lo.d.

1665 2004-01-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1667 * tests/lex5.test: Sleep before calling AUTOMAKE the second time,

1827 Report from Harlan Stenn.
1829 2004-01-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1831 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Do not compare $outfile to ''
1832 as $outfile might not be defined at all.

1854 * tests/libtool5.test, tests/ltcond.test, tests/ltcond2.test,
1855 * tests/ltconv.test: Run automake with --add-missing, because
1856 the CVS version of libtoolize no longer install config.sub and
1857 config.guess by default.

1886 Suggested by Tom Tromey.
1888 Do not output .lo rules for programs and static libraries objects,
1889 and do not output .o/.obj rules for libtool libraries. This is
1890 about explicit rules only, not inference rules.
1891 * automake.in (handle_single_transform_list): Rename as ...
1892 (handle_single_transform): ... this. Take a single file
1893 to transform (it was only called this way) and accept a new
