3 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
4 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
5 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
6 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
8 2011-01-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
10 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
11 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
12 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
13 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
15 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
17 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
18 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
19 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
20 up its internal memory when copying this tree.

28 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
30 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
31 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
32 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
34 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
36 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
37 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
38 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
39 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
40 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
41 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

46 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
47 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
48 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
49 parallel-tests driver.
51 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
53 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.

67 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
68 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
69 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
70 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
72 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
74 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test

79 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
81 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
82 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
83 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
84 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
85 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
86 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
89 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
91 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
93 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
94 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
95 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
97 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
99 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
100 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
101 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
102 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
103 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.

113 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
114 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
115 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
116 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
118 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
120 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
122 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
123 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
124 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
125 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
126 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
127 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
128 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

155 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL

158 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
159 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
160 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.

165 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
167 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
169 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
170 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
171 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
172 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
173 uselessly run it in a subshell.
174 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
175 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
176 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
178 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
180 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
181 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
182 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
183 Makefile.in stricter.
184 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
185 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
187 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
188 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
189 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
190 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
191 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
192 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
193 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
194 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
195 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
196 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
197 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
198 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
199 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
200 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
201 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
202 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
203 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
204 so they have been moved ...
205 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
206 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
207 trailing `:' command.
208 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
209 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
210 append to configure.in.
211 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
212 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
213 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
214 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
215 minor cosmetic improvements.
216 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
217 trailing `:' command.
218 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
219 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.

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

323 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.

326 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
327 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).

331 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
332 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
333 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
334 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
335 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
336 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
337 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

388 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
389 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
390 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
391 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
392 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
393 tests that force gcc depmode.
394 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
395 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
396 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
397 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

511 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
512 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
513 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
514 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
515 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
518 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
520 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
521 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
522 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
523 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
524 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
525 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
526 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
527 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
529 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
531 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
532 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
533 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
534 are not part of the Automake API.
536 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
538 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
539 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
540 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
542 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
544 Rebuild menus in the manual.
545 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
546 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
548 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
549 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use

551 to fix quoting issues.
552 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.

559 Found by NixOS Hydra.
561 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
563 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
564 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
565 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
566 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
567 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
568 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
569 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
570 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
571 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
572 Reported by Andy Wingo.

578 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
579 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
580 of test `vala2.test'.
582 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
584 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
585 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
586 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
588 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
589 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
590 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
592 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
593 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
594 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
595 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
596 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:

621 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
622 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
623 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
624 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to

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

643 are expanded before rules.
644 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
645 get matched as a rule.
646 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
648 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
650 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
651 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,

669 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
670 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
671 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
672 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
673 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
674 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
675 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
676 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
677 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
678 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
679 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
680 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command

688 computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again.
689 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when

713 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
714 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
715 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion

738 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
739 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
740 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
741 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
744 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
746 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
748 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
750 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
751 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
752 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which

796 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
797 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
798 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
799 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
801 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or

804 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
806 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
807 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
808 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
810 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
811 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
812 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
813 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
815 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
816 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
817 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
818 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
819 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'

858 Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.
859 * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure

937 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
938 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
939 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
940 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
941 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
942 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
943 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

955 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
956 and add a "FIXME" comment.
957 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
958 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
959 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
960 `configure.in'; also, use the `configure.in' stub created by

990 * tests/condhook.test: Make sure target `install-data-hook' is
991 not called by `make install', but that data files are installed.
992 Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in. Add trailing `:' command.
993 * tests/condhook2.test: New test, sister test of condhook, with
995 * tests/condinc2.test: Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in.

997 * tests/condman2.test: Enable errexit shell flag, and related
998 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
999 * tests/condman.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless
1000 dummy manpages, and use proper m4 quoting in configure.in.

1045 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
1046 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
1047 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
1048 accordingly to "TODO" comments.

1051 stub preset be ./defs.
1052 * tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
1053 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.

1079 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1080 Add a trailing `:' command.
1081 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1082 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1083 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1084 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1085 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1086 trailing `:' command.
1087 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in

1103 explanatory comments to it.
1104 * tests/depcomp7.test: Likewise, and add a trailing `:' command.
1106 Separate failing part of test `all.test'.
1107 * tests/all.test: Keep only (x)failing part of the test. Working

1131 `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion
1132 of ./defs). Do not create useless dummy ac-init file `f'.
1133 * tests/subobj7.test: Do not create useless dummy ac-init file
1135 (configure.in): Use the stub created by `./defs', rather than
1136 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.
1137 * tests/subobj9.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1138 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1139 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1140 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1141 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1142 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1143 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1163 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1164 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1165 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1167 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
1168 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.

1225 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
1227 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
1230 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1231 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1253 `subdir5.test' here).
1254 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1258 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1259 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
1260 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
1261 autoconf/automake macros.
1263 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1264 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1265 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1266 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the

1293 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1295 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1296 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1297 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1298 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1299 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1300 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1301 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1303 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1304 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1305 writing one from scratch.

1339 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1340 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1341 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1342 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1343 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1344 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1345 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1359 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1360 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1361 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1363 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1365 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1366 `make dist' to fail.

1377 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
1378 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1379 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1380 declaration, to please compilers.
1382 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1384 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1385 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1386 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1387 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1388 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1389 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1392 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1393 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1394 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1395 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1397 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.

1414 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1415 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1417 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1418 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1419 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1420 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1421 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1422 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1423 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.

1440 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1441 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1443 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1444 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the

1463 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1464 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1465 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1466 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1467 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1468 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1469 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1470 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1472 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1473 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1474 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1475 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1476 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1477 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
1478 * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
1479 make's output, and make its grepping slightly stricter.

1487 Modernize, improve and/or fix tests `pluseq*.test.
1488 * tests/pluseq5.test: Append to configure.in using cat with an
1489 here-doc, not using echo.
1490 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1491 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1492 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1493 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1495 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1496 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1522 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1523 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
1525 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1526 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1528 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.

1553 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1555 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1556 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1557 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1558 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1560 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1562 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1563 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
1566 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
1567 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
1568 improvement to comments.
1569 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1570 Prepend it to all error messages.
1572 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1573 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1574 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1575 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1576 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1577 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1579 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1581 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1582 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1583 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1584 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1585 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1586 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1587 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1588 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1589 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1590 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1591 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1592 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1593 rather than in the middle.
1594 * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
1595 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1596 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.

1600 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
1601 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'

1605 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
1606 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
1607 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1608 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1609 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1610 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1611 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1612 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1613 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1615 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1616 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1640 in the generated `configure.in'.
1642 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1644 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
1645 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
1646 the verbose log contains all output.
1647 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1648 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1650 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1652 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

1664 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1665 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1666 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1667 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1668 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1669 known extension EXT.
1671 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1741 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1743 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1744 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1745 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1746 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1747 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
1748 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
1749 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1751 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1755 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1757 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1758 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1759 output produced by `make'.
1760 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1762 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1763 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1764 output produced by `make'.
1765 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1766 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1767 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1768 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1769 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1771 Improved test silent5.test.
1772 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1773 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1774 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1775 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1776 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1777 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1779 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1780 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1781 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1782 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1784 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
1785 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
1786 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1788 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1789 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1790 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1792 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1793 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1794 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1796 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1797 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1798 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1799 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
1800 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

1806 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1808 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1809 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1810 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1811 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1813 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1814 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1815 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1816 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1817 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1818 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1819 dependencies are enabled.
1820 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1821 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1822 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1823 dependency tracking.
1824 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1825 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1826 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1828 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1830 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1831 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1832 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1833 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1834 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1836 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1838 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1839 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1840 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1841 double-quotes and backquotes.
1843 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1845 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1847 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1848 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1849 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1850 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1851 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1852 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1853 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1856 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1858 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1859 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1860 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1862 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1863 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1864 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1867 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1869 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1870 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1871 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1873 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1874 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1875 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1877 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1878 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1879 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1880 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1881 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1883 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1886 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1887 missing closing parenthesis.
1889 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1890 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1891 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1893 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1895 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1896 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1899 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1901 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1902 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1903 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1904 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1907 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1909 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1910 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1911 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1912 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1913 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1915 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1916 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1917 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1919 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1920 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1921 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1922 Also, bumped copyright years.
1924 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1926 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1927 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1928 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1930 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1931 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1932 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1933 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1935 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1937 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1938 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1939 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1940 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1941 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1942 cause the whole test to fail.
1944 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1946 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1947 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1948 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1950 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1952 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1953 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1954 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1955 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1957 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1959 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1960 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1962 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1963 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1966 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1968 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1969 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1970 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files

1985 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1987 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.

2011 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2012 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2013 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
