3 Fix locale issue in check-exported-srcdir.test.
4 * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Reformulate glob to not fail
5 in a locale that ignores or interleaves character case.
7 2011-02-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
9 coverage: more tests on simple and parallel test drivers

18 tests: fix spurious failures in lflags*.test
19 * tests/lflags.test: Remove 'LEX' from the environment, so
20 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
21 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
23 2011-01-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
25 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
26 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
27 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
28 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
29 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
30 activated when it should.
32 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
34 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
35 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
36 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
37 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
38 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
40 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
42 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
43 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
44 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
45 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
46 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
48 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
50 tests defs: sanitize IFS
51 * tests/defs.in ($IFS): Define to <space>, <tab>, <newline>.

53 ($tab): New variable, holding a tabulation character.
54 ($nl): New variable, holding a newline character.
56 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
58 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
59 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
60 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
61 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
63 2011-01-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
65 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
66 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
67 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
68 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
70 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
72 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
73 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
74 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
75 up its internal memory when copying this tree.
77 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
78 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

81 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Update comment.
83 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
85 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
86 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
87 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
89 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
91 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
92 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
93 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
94 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
95 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
96 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

99 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
101 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
102 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
103 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
104 parallel-tests driver.
106 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
108 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
109 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
110 conftest.dir before recreating it.
112 Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4.
114 2011-01-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
116 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
117 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
118 be turned unreadable.
120 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
122 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
123 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
124 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
125 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
127 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
129 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
130 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.
131 Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command.

134 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
136 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
137 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
138 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
139 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
140 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
141 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
144 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
146 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
148 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
149 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
150 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
152 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
154 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
155 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
156 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
157 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
158 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
159 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
161 2011-01-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
163 tests: fix comment typo

168 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
169 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
170 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
171 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
173 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
175 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
177 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
178 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
179 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
180 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
181 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
182 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
183 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

210 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
211 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
212 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
213 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
214 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
215 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.
217 2011-01-09 Dave Hart <davehart@gmail.com> (tiny change)
219 Fix another typo in Rule.pm comment.
220 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
222 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
224 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
225 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
226 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
227 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
228 uselessly run it in a subshell.
229 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
230 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
231 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
233 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
235 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
236 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
237 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
238 Makefile.in stricter.
239 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
240 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
242 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
243 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
244 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
245 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
246 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
247 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
248 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
249 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
250 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
251 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
252 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
253 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
254 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
255 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
256 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
257 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
258 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
259 so they have been moved ...
260 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
261 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
262 trailing `:' command.
263 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
264 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
265 append to configure.in.
266 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
267 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
268 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
269 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
270 minor cosmetic improvements.
271 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
272 trailing `:' command.
273 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
274 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.

298 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
299 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
300 also check for the deleted header bug. If no dependency
301 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
302 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
304 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.

378 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
379 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
380 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
381 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
382 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
384 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
386 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
387 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
388 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
389 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
390 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
391 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
392 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
393 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

443 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
444 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
445 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
446 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
447 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
448 tests that force gcc depmode.
449 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
450 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
451 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
452 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

526 Sync config-ml.in from GCC.
527 * config-ml.in: Add Go support: treat GOC and GOCFLAGS like other
528 compiler/flag environment variables.
530 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
532 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
533 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
535 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
536 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
537 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
540 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
541 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
542 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both

547 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
548 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
549 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
550 avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.

561 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
563 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
564 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
565 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
566 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
567 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
568 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
569 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
570 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
573 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
575 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
576 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
577 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
578 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
579 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
580 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
581 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
582 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
584 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
586 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
587 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
588 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
589 are not part of the Automake API.
591 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
593 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
594 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
595 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
597 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
599 Rebuild menus in the manual.

601 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
603 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
604 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use

606 to fix quoting issues.
607 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
608 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.

614 Found by NixOS Hydra.
616 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
618 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
619 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
620 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
621 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
622 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
623 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
624 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
625 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
626 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
627 Reported by Andy Wingo.

631 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
632 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
633 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
634 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
635 of test `vala2.test'.
637 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
639 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
640 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
641 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
643 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
644 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
645 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
647 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
648 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
649 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
650 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
651 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
653 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
655 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
657 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
658 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
659 (Introduction): Refer to it.
661 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
663 Add support for newer python versions.
664 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to

676 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
677 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
678 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
679 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
680 please maintainer-check.

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

697 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
698 are expanded before rules.
699 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
700 get matched as a rule.
701 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
703 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
705 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
706 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,

724 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
725 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
726 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
727 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
728 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
729 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
730 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
731 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
732 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
733 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
734 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
735 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
737 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

768 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
769 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
770 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
771 `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private

793 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
794 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
795 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
796 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or

801 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
803 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
805 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
806 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
807 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
808 seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release

851 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
852 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
853 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
854 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
856 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
857 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
859 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
861 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
862 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
863 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
865 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
866 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
867 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
868 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
870 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
871 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
872 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
873 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
874 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
875 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.

905 Fix bug in test missing6.test.
906 * tests/missing6.test: Fix the hack used to edit `configure.in',
907 to avoid producing a configure script that breaks with shells
908 that do not support $LINENO. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic
911 2010-08-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
913 Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.
914 * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure
915 $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.

932 Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
933 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
934 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that
935 the package developer can disable it altogether. Add a reference
936 to the proper section for a more in-depth explanation.
938 Fix typo in manual (`Makefile.in' instead of `Makefile.am').
939 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.

957 * tests/aclocal18.test: Add trailing `:' command, and make
958 some grepping slightly stricter.
959 * tests/acloca14.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `diff' over
960 `cmp', and add some "cosmetic" blank lines.
962 2010-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
964 Tweak and extend tests `pr[!0-9]*.test'.
965 * tests/primary3.test: Add trailing `:' command.
966 * tests/primary.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
967 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.

991 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.
992 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
993 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
994 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
995 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
996 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
997 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
998 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

1000 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.

1135 Add a trailing `:' command.
1136 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure

1193 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1194 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1195 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1196 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1197 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.

1218 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1219 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1220 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1222 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.

1285 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1286 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1318 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1319 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1320 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1321 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the

1350 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1351 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1352 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1353 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1354 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1355 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1356 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1358 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1359 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than

1394 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1395 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1396 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is

1414 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1415 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1416 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1418 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1420 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause

1433 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1434 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1435 declaration, to please compilers.
1437 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1439 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1440 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1441 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1442 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1443 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1444 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1447 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1448 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.

1469 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1470 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1472 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1473 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1474 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1475 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1476 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.

1485 the `configure.in' stub. Cosmetic changes.
1486 * tests/suffix13.test: Cosmetic spacing change.
1488 2010-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1490 Add useful comment in test script ext.test.
1491 * tests/ext.test: Add a comment explaining why an apparently
1492 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1494 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1495 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1496 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1498 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1499 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the
1500 definition of this variable.
1502 2010-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1504 Remove a couple of unneeded conditionals from tests.
1505 * tests/pr243.test, tests/pr266.test, tests/strip.test: No need
1506 for the FOOTEST conditional.
1508 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1510 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1511 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1513 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1514 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1515 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1516 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1517 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1518 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1519 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1520 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1521 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1522 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1523 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1524 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1525 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1527 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1528 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1529 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

1531 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1532 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1542 Modernize, improve and/or fix tests `pluseq*.test.
1543 * tests/pluseq5.test: Append to configure.in using cat with an
1544 here-doc, not using echo.
1545 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1546 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1547 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1548 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1550 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1551 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1577 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1578 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
1580 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1581 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1583 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.
1584 * tests/backsl.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

1607 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1608 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1610 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1611 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1612 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1613 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1615 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1617 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1618 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
1621 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
1622 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
1623 improvement to comments.
1624 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1625 Prepend it to all error messages.
1627 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1628 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1629 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1630 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1631 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1632 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1634 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1636 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1637 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1638 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1639 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1640 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1641 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1642 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1643 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1644 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1645 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1646 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1647 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1648 rather than in the middle.
1649 * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
1650 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1651 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.

1662 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1663 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1664 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1665 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1666 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1667 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1668 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1670 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1671 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1689 command substitution.
1690 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1691 command substitution.
1692 * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs

1697 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1699 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
1700 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so

1702 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1703 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1705 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1719 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1720 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1721 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1722 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1723 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1724 known extension EXT.

1796 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1798 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1799 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1800 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1801 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1802 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
1803 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
1804 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1806 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1810 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1812 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1813 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1814 output produced by `make'.
1815 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1817 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1818 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

1822 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1823 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1824 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1826 Improved test silent5.test.
1827 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1828 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1829 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1830 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1831 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1832 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1834 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1835 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1836 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1837 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.

1841 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1843 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1844 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1845 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1847 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1848 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1849 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1851 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1852 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1853 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1854 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).

1861 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1863 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1864 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1865 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1866 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1868 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1869 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1870 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1871 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1872 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1873 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1874 dependencies are enabled.
1875 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1876 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1877 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1878 dependency tracking.
1879 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1880 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1881 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1883 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1885 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1886 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1887 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1888 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1889 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1891 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1893 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1894 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1895 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1896 double-quotes and backquotes.
1898 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1900 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1902 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1903 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1904 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1905 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1906 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1907 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1908 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1911 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1913 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1914 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1915 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1917 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1918 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1919 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1922 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1924 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1925 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1926 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1928 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1929 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1930 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1932 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1933 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1934 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1935 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1936 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1938 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1941 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1942 missing closing parenthesis.
1944 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1945 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1946 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1948 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1950 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1951 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1954 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1956 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1957 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1958 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1959 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1962 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1964 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1965 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1966 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1967 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1968 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1970 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1971 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1972 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1974 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1975 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1976 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1977 Also, bumped copyright years.
1979 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1981 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1982 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1983 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1985 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1986 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1987 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1988 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1990 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1992 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1993 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1994 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1995 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1996 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1997 cause the whole test to fail.
1999 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2001 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2002 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:

2018 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2021 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2023 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2024 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2025 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2026 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2027 and unstable exit status values.
2028 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2029 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2030 $warnings_are_errors.

2032 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2035 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2037 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2038 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2039 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2040 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2042 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2043 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2044 succeds unexpectedly.
2046 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2047 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2048 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2049 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2051 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2053 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2054 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2055 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2056 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2058 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2060 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2061 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2062 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2065 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2066 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2067 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2068 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2071 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2073 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2074 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):

2076 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2078 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2080 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2081 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2084 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2086 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2087 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2088 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2089 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2090 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.

2095 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2096 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
