3 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
4 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
5 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
6 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
7 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
9 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
11 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
12 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
13 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
14 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
15 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
17 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
19 tests defs: sanitize IFS
20 * tests/defs.in ($IFS): Define to <space>, <tab>, <newline>.
21 ($sp): New variable, holding a single whitespace character.
22 ($tab): New variable, holding a tabulation character.
23 ($nl): New variable, holding a newline character.
25 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
27 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
28 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
29 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
30 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
32 2011-01-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
34 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
35 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
36 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
37 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
39 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
41 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
42 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
43 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
44 up its internal memory when copying this tree.
46 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
47 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
49 Add comment to check-TESTS rule working around make 3.80 bug.

52 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
54 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
55 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
56 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
58 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
60 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
61 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
62 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
63 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
64 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
65 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.
67 2011-01-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
68 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
70 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
71 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
72 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
73 parallel-tests driver.
75 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
77 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
78 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
79 conftest.dir before recreating it.
81 Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4.
83 2011-01-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
85 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
86 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
89 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
91 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
92 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
93 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
94 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
96 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
98 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
99 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.
100 Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command.

103 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
105 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
106 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
107 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
108 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
109 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
110 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
113 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
115 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
117 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
118 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
119 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
121 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
123 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
124 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
125 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
126 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
127 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
128 Report by Stefano Lattarini.

137 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
138 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
139 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
140 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
142 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
144 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
146 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
147 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
148 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
149 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
150 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
151 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
152 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.
154 2011-01-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
156 docs: clustered '-d' not recognized in YFLAGS
157 This change fixes automake bug#7828.

179 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
180 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
181 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
182 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
183 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
184 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.
186 2011-01-09 Dave Hart <davehart@gmail.com> (tiny change)

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

267 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
268 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to

271 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
273 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.

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

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

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

412 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
413 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
414 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
415 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
416 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
417 tests that force gcc depmode.
418 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
419 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
420 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new

516 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
517 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
518 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
519 avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.
520 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
522 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
524 Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
525 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
526 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
527 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the
528 very first version of this test script.
530 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
532 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
533 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
534 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
535 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
536 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
537 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
538 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
539 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
542 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
544 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
545 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
546 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
547 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
548 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
549 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
550 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
551 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
553 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
555 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
556 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
557 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
558 are not part of the Automake API.
560 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
562 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
563 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
564 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
566 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
568 Rebuild menus in the manual.
569 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
570 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
572 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
573 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
574 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
575 to fix quoting issues.
576 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
577 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.

583 Found by NixOS Hydra.
585 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
587 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
588 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
589 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
590 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
591 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
592 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
593 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
594 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
595 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
596 Reported by Andy Wingo.
598 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
600 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
601 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
602 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
603 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
604 of test `vala2.test'.
606 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
608 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
609 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
610 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
612 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
613 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
614 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
616 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
617 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
618 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
619 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
620 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
622 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

628 (Introduction): Refer to it.
630 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
632 Add support for newer python versions.
633 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
634 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
635 line and fix indentation.

645 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
646 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
647 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
648 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
649 please maintainer-check.

652 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
653 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
655 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
656 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
657 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
658 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
659 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
660 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.

666 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
667 are expanded before rules.
668 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
669 get matched as a rule.
670 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
672 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
674 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
675 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
676 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

693 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
694 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
695 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
696 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
697 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
698 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
699 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
700 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
701 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
702 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
703 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
704 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
706 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

711 * tests/compile2.test: Do no uselessly (implicitly) repeat the
712 computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again.
713 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when

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

762 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
763 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
764 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
765 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
768 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
770 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
772 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
774 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
775 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
776 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
777 seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release

820 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
821 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
822 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
823 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
825 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
826 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
828 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
830 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
831 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
832 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
834 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
835 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
836 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
837 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
839 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
840 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
841 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
842 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
843 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
844 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.

876 to avoid producing a configure script that breaks with shells
877 that do not support $LINENO. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic
880 2010-08-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
882 Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.
883 * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure
884 $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.

901 Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
902 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
903 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that

908 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.
910 2010-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
912 Don't hide the table of contents.

927 some grepping slightly stricter.

929 `cmp', and add some "cosmetic" blank lines.
931 2010-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
933 Tweak and extend tests `pr[!0-9]*.test'.
934 * tests/primary3.test: Add trailing `:' command.

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

969 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.

978 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
979 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
980 and add a "FIXME" comment.
981 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
982 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
983 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
984 `configure.in'; also, use the `configure.in' stub created by

986 shell flag, and related changes. Add trailing `:' command.

1103 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1104 Add a trailing `:' command.
1105 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1106 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1107 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1108 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1109 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1110 trailing `:' command.

1156 of ./defs). Do not create useless dummy ac-init file `f'.
1157 * tests/subobj7.test: Do not create useless dummy ac-init file
1159 (configure.in): Use the stub created by `./defs', rather than
1160 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.

1162 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1163 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1164 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1165 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1166 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1167 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1187 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1188 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1189 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1191 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
1192 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.

1254 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1255 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1287 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1288 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1289 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1319 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1320 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1321 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1322 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1323 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1324 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1325 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1327 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1328 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than

1363 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1364 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1365 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is

1383 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1384 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1385 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1387 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1389 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause

1402 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1403 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1404 declaration, to please compilers.
1406 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1408 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1409 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1410 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1411 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over

1413 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1416 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1417 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.

1441 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1442 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1443 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1444 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1445 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.

1486 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1487 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1488 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1489 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1490 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1491 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1492 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1493 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1494 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1496 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1497 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1498 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1499 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1500 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1501 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1511 Modernize, improve and/or fix tests `pluseq*.test.
1512 * tests/pluseq5.test: Append to configure.in using cat with an
1513 here-doc, not using echo.
1514 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1515 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1516 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1517 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1519 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1520 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1577 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1579 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1580 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1581 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1582 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1584 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1586 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1587 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
1590 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
1591 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
1592 improvement to comments.
1593 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1594 Prepend it to all error messages.
1596 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1597 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1598 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1599 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1600 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1601 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1603 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1605 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1606 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1607 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1608 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1609 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1610 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1611 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1612 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1613 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1614 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1615 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1616 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1617 rather than in the middle.

1631 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1632 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1633 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1634 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1635 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1636 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1637 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1639 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1640 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1671 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1672 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1674 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1688 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1689 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1690 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1691 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1692 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1693 known extension EXT.
1695 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1767 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1768 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1769 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1770 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1771 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when

1773 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1775 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1779 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1781 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1782 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1783 output produced by `make'.
1784 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1786 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1787 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

1791 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1792 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1793 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1795 Improved test silent5.test.
1796 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1797 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1798 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1799 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1800 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1801 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1803 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1804 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1805 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1806 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.

1814 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1816 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1817 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1818 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1820 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1821 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1822 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1823 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).

1830 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1832 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1833 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1834 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1835 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1837 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1838 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1839 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1840 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1841 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1842 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1843 dependencies are enabled.
1844 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1845 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1846 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1847 dependency tracking.
1848 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1849 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1850 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1852 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1854 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1855 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1856 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1857 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1858 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1860 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1862 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1863 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1864 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1865 double-quotes and backquotes.
1867 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1869 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1871 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1872 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1873 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1874 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1875 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1876 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1877 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1880 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1882 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1883 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1884 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1886 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1887 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1888 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1891 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1893 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1894 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1895 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1897 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1898 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1899 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1901 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1902 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1903 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1904 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1905 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1907 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1910 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1911 missing closing parenthesis.
1913 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1914 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1915 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1917 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1919 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1920 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1923 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1925 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1926 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1927 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1928 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1931 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1933 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1934 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1935 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1936 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1937 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1939 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1940 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1941 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1943 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1944 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1945 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1946 Also, bumped copyright years.
1948 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1950 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1951 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1952 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1954 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1955 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1956 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1957 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1959 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1961 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1962 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1963 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1964 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1965 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now

1992 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1993 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1994 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1995 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1996 and unstable exit status values.

2007 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2008 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2009 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2011 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2012 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL

2029 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2030 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2031 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2034 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2035 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2036 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2037 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2040 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2042 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
