4 Add comment to check-TESTS rule working around make 3.80 bug.
5 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Update comment.
7 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
9 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
10 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
11 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
13 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
15 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
16 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
17 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
18 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
19 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
20 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
25 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
26 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
27 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
28 parallel-tests driver.
30 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
32 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
33 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
34 conftest.dir before recreating it.
36 Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4.
38 2011-01-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
40 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
41 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
44 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
46 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
47 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
48 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
49 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
51 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
53 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
54 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.
55 Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command.
57 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
58 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
60 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
61 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
62 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
63 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
64 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
65 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
68 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
70 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
72 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
73 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
74 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
76 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
78 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
79 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
80 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
81 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
82 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
83 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
85 2011-01-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
87 tests: fix comment typo
88 * tests/substref.test: Fix grammar in a comment.
90 2011-01-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
92 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
93 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
94 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
95 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
97 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
99 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
101 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
102 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
103 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
104 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
105 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
106 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
107 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.
109 2011-01-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
111 docs: clustered '-d' not recognized in YFLAGS
112 This change fixes automake bug#7828.
113 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Document that automake
114 recognizes '-d' in AM_YFLAGS only if it's not clustered with
116 From a report by Юрий Пухальский.
118 2011-01-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
120 tests: add checks on automatically-distributed files
121 Related to automake bug#7819.

132 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
134 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
135 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
136 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
137 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
138 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
139 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.
141 2011-01-09 Dave Hart <davehart@gmail.com> (tiny change)
143 Fix another typo in Rule.pm comment.
144 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
146 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
148 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
149 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
150 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
151 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
152 uselessly run it in a subshell.
153 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
154 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
155 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
157 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
159 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
160 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
161 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
162 Makefile.in stricter.
163 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
164 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
166 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
167 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
168 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
169 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
170 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
171 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
172 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
173 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
174 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
175 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
176 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
177 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
178 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
179 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
180 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
181 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
182 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
183 so they have been moved ...
184 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
185 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
186 trailing `:' command.
187 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
188 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
189 append to configure.in.
190 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
191 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
192 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
193 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
194 minor cosmetic improvements.
195 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
196 trailing `:' command.
197 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
198 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
199 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

220 2011-01-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
222 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
223 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
224 also check for the deleted header bug. If no dependency
225 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
226 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
228 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.
229 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typos in comments.
231 docs: split 'amhello Explained' node.
232 * doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): Split node ...
233 (amhello's configure.ac Setup Explained)
234 (amhello's Makefile.am Setup Explained) : ... into these two.
235 (Top, Hello World): Adjust, and add @anchor for stable URL links.

253 docs: how to work around checks on invalid primary/directory couples
254 * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Document the blessed idiom which can
255 be used to work around automake checks on invalid primary/directory
256 couples (such as `lib_PROGRAMS' or `doc_LIBRARIES').
258 2011-01-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
260 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.

302 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
303 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
304 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
305 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
306 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
308 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
310 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
311 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
312 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
313 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
314 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
315 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
316 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
317 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

324 Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"
325 * tests/subdir5.test: Always terminate text passed to the
326 `i' sed command with a newline, to work around limitations
327 in e.g. older OpenBSD sed.

331 docs: fix blunder in example about python extension modules

360 Avoid running installed automake from 'libtool --help'.
361 * tests/subobj9.test: Export AUTOCONF and AUTOMAKE.
362 Together with fixed Libtool, this fixes check-coverage to not
363 invoke installed automake.

367 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
368 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
369 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
370 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
371 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
372 tests that force gcc depmode.
373 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
374 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
375 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
376 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
378 * silentlex.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
379 * silent-lex-generic.test, silent-lex-gcc.test: ... these new

487 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
488 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
489 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
490 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
491 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
492 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
493 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
494 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf

499 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
500 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
501 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
502 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
503 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
504 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
505 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various

510 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
511 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
512 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
513 are not part of the Automake API.
515 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
517 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
518 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
519 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
521 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
523 Rebuild menus in the manual.
524 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
525 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
527 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
528 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
529 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
530 to fix quoting issues.
531 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
532 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.

540 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
542 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
543 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
544 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
545 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
546 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
547 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
548 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
549 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
550 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

568 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
569 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
571 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
572 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
573 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
574 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.

601 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
602 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
603 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to

608 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
610 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
611 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
612 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',

648 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
649 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
650 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
651 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
652 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
653 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.

719 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
720 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
723 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

781 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
783 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
785 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
786 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
787 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
789 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
790 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
791 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
792 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.

796 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
797 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.

920 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
921 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
922 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

969 * tests/condhook.test: Make sure target `install-data-hook' is
970 not called by `make install', but that data files are installed.

1022 * tests/confvar2.test: Likewise.
1023 * tests/conflnk3.test: Cosmetic changes. Re-enable a temporarily
1024 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
1025 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
1026 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
1027 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
1028 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
1029 Add some comments explaining why we don't use the `configure.in'
1030 stub preset be ./defs.
1031 * tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
1032 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.
1033 Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related changes. Prefer diff over
1034 cmp to compare text files. Prefer perl over sed to fetch the value
1035 of $(DIST_COMMON) from Makefile.in. Make grepping of the contents

1058 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1059 Add a trailing `:' command.
1060 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1061 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1062 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1063 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1064 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1065 trailing `:' command.
1066 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in
1067 grep regexps. Always use `: >' rather than `touch' to create empty

1077 targets as such in the created Makefile.am. Add a trailing `:'
1079 * tests/depcomp6.test: Consistently use m4 quoting in the generated
1080 configure.in. Cosmetic fixes to spacing. Make the "dummy" `if'
1081 statement required by OpenBSD's sh `set -e' more robust, and add
1082 explanatory comments to it.
1083 * tests/depcomp7.test: Likewise, and add a trailing `:' command.
1085 Separate failing part of test `all.test'.
1086 * tests/all.test: Keep only (x)failing part of the test. Working
1087 checks moved out to ...
1088 * tests/all2.test: ... this new test.
1089 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1091 Modernize, improve and extend tests `subobj*.test'.

1109 * tests/subobj6.test: Add trailing `:' command. Move setting of
1110 `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion
1111 of ./defs). Do not create useless dummy ac-init file `f'.
1112 * tests/subobj7.test: Do not create useless dummy ac-init file
1114 (configure.in): Use the stub created by `./defs', rather than
1115 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.
1116 * tests/subobj9.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1117 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1118 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1119 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1120 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1121 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1122 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1137 * bootstrap: Do not remove `lib/Automake/Config.pm' anymore,
1138 since we don't generate it. Correctly quote arguments of
1139 `eval' builtin. Fixed a botched error message. Removed an
1142 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1143 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1144 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1146 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
1147 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.
1148 ($AUTOM4TE): Likewise, for clarity.

1204 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
1206 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
1209 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1210 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty
1211 to avoid shell syntax error if the m4 expansion is empty.

1218 2010-07-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1220 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
1221 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1222 changes. Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs',

1225 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
1226 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1227 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1228 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1229 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1230 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1231 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1232 `subdir5.test' here).
1233 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
1234 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add
1235 trailing `:' command.

1237 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1238 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
1239 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
1240 autoconf/automake macros.
1242 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1243 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1244 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1245 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1246 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1247 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
1248 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a
1249 trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister

1267 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
1268 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
1269 * tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
1270 * tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
1272 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1274 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1275 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1276 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1277 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1278 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1279 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1280 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1282 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1283 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1284 writing one from scratch.

1296 home page and GNU general help page.
1297 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.
1298 * doc/automake.texi: New flag PACKAGE_BUGREPORT, to factor email
1300 (Introduction, Creating amhello, amhello Explained, Options):
1302 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute

1315 * tests/silent5.test: Use $EGREP, not $GREP (which is not even
1318 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1319 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1320 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1321 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1322 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1323 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1324 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use
1325 of `foreign' option in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.

1336 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1338 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1339 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1340 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1342 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1344 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1345 `make dist' to fail.
1346 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: New test.
1347 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

1356 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
1357 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1358 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1359 declaration, to please compilers.
1361 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1363 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1364 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1365 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1366 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1367 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1368 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1371 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1372 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1373 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1374 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1376 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.

1393 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1394 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1395 changes. Also, do not redirect grep output to /dev/null, as this
1396 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1397 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1398 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1399 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1400 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1401 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1402 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.

1416 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1418 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1419 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1420 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1422 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1423 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the

1434 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1435 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1437 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1438 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1439 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test

1442 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1443 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1444 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1445 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1446 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1447 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1448 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1449 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1451 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1452 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1453 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1454 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1455 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1456 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
1457 * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
1458 make's output, and make its grepping slightly stricter.

1471 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1472 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1474 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1475 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1483 Automake stderr. Some unrelated cosmetic changes.
1485 Testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured stderr.
1486 * tests/acloca18.test: Print captured stderr before either failing
1487 or grepping it. Be sure to send captured stderr to stderr, not to

1501 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1502 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
1504 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1505 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1507 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.
1508 * tests/backsl.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

1526 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am.
1527 * tests/ansi.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1528 changes. Extended, esp. by running autoconf, ./configure and

1531 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1532 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1534 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1535 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1536 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1537 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1539 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1541 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1542 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
1545 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
1546 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
1547 improvement to comments.
1548 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1549 Prepend it to all error messages.
1551 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1552 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1553 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1554 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1555 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1556 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1558 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1560 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1561 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1562 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1563 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1564 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1565 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1566 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1567 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1568 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1569 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1570 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1571 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1572 rather than in the middle.
1573 * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
1574 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1575 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.
1576 * tests/confdeps.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `mv -f' over
1577 plain `mv', just to be sure.
1578 * tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1579 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
1580 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'
1581 stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

1583 * tests/depcomp2.test: Likewise.
1584 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
1585 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
1586 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1587 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1588 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1589 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1590 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1591 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1592 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1594 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1595 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1613 command substitution.
1614 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1615 command substitution.
1616 * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1617 in the generated `configure.in'.
1618 * tests/version2.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1619 in the generated `configure.in'.
1621 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1623 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
1624 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
1625 the verbose log contains all output.
1626 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1627 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1629 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1631 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

1641 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1643 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1644 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1645 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1646 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1647 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1648 known extension EXT.
1650 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1720 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1722 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1723 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1724 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1725 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1726 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
1727 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
1728 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1730 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1734 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1736 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1737 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1738 output produced by `make'.
1739 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1741 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1742 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1743 output produced by `make'.
1744 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1745 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1746 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1747 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1748 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1750 Improved test silent5.test.
1751 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1752 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1753 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1754 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1755 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1756 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1758 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1759 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1760 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1761 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1763 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
1764 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
1765 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1767 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1768 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1769 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1771 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1772 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1773 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1775 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1776 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1777 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1778 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
1779 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

1785 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1787 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1788 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1789 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1790 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1792 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1793 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1794 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1795 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1796 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1797 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1798 dependencies are enabled.
1799 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1800 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1801 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1802 dependency tracking.
1803 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1804 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1805 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1807 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1809 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1810 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1811 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1812 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1813 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1815 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1817 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1818 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1819 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1820 double-quotes and backquotes.
1822 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1824 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1826 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1827 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1828 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1829 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1830 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1831 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1832 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1835 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1837 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1838 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1839 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1841 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1842 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1843 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1846 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1848 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1849 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1850 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1852 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1853 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1854 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1856 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1857 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1858 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1859 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1860 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1862 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1865 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1866 missing closing parenthesis.
1868 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1869 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1870 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1872 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1874 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1875 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1878 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1880 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1881 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1882 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1883 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1886 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1888 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1889 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1890 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1891 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1892 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1894 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1895 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1896 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1898 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1899 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1900 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1901 Also, bumped copyright years.
1903 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1905 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1906 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1907 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1909 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1910 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1911 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1912 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1914 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1916 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1917 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1918 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1919 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1920 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1921 cause the whole test to fail.
1923 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1925 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1926 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1927 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1929 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1931 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1932 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1933 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1934 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1936 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1938 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1939 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1941 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1942 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1945 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1947 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1948 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1949 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1950 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1951 and unstable exit status values.
1952 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1953 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
1954 $warnings_are_errors.
1955 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
1956 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1959 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1961 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1962 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
1963 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
1964 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1966 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
1967 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
1968 succeds unexpectedly.
1970 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
1971 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
