aclocal: create local directory where to install m4 files Fixes automake bug#8168 and bug#10816. A call like "aclocal -I m4 --install" used to fail if the 'm4' directory wasn't pre-existing. This could be particularly annoying when running in a checked-out version from a VCS like git, which doesn't allow empty directories to be tracked. * aclocal.in (File::Path): New import. (scan_m4_dirs): Don't die if the first directory of type FT_USER doesn't exist and the '--install' option was given; that directory will be created later ... (install_file): ... here. Change signature of this function: now it takes as second argument the destination directory rather than the destination file. Crate the destination directory if it doesn't already exist. In verbose mode, tell what is being copied where. (write_aclocal): Update to the changes in 'install_file'. * NEWS, THANKS: Update. * tests/aclocal-install-fail.test: New test. * tests/aclocal-install-mkdir.test: Likewise. * tests/aclocal-no-install-no-mkdir.test: Likewise. * tests/aclocal-verbose-install.test: Likewise. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add them.
