3d5d5eac 2012-04-11 17:31:04 vala tests: avoid spurious failure with older GObject * t/vala2.sh: In the 'PKG_CHECK_MODULES' call in 'configure.ac', don't require gobject >= 2.10, but just >= 2.4: that is enough in order for the test to pass. * t/vala3.sh: Likewise. * t/vala5.sh: Likewise. Also, skip the test instead of failing if the ./configure invocation fails: that is likely due to the fact that the GObject library is too old or missing, and that is not automake's fault.

e306fb5d 2012-04-11 15:37:04 vala tests: force the use of automatic dependency tracking * t/vala-mix2.sh: Invoke ./configure with the option '--enable-dependency-tracking', so that slower dependency extractors are not rejected. This avoids a spurious failure at least on Solaris when the Sun C compiler is used. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
feea0902 2012-04-11 15:25:37 tests: avoid spurious failures in tests on C++ and lex This is a follow-up to commit v1.11-2128-g7f2bc63 of 09-04-2012, "tests: avoid spurious failures with non-flex 'lex' programs and C++". It is required to avoid a couple of spurious failures on Solaris and NetBSD systems (at least). See also automake bug#11185. * t/lex-clean-cxx.sh (parsefoo.lxx): Do not declared the provided dummy 'isatty' function as 'static', since that might conflict with a declaration of it as 'extern' pulled in through other system * t/lex-depend-cxx.sh (joe.ll): Likewise. * t/README: Update advice, to avoid similar issues in the future.

7f2bc639 2012-04-09 00:17:48 tests: avoid spurious failures with non-flex 'lex' programs and C++ This change fixes automake bug#11185. The commit v1.11-2058-g6f4b08d of 06-03-2012, "tests: explicitly state that our lexers do not require unistd.h" has broken the tests 'lex-clean-cxx.test' and 'lex-depend-cxx.test' on Solaris, where lex is not flex and does not understand the "%option never-interactive" directive. Remove the use of this directive, resorting to defining a dummy 'isatty()' function instead to keep the flex-generated tests able to compile also on MinGW/MSYS. * tests/lex-clean-cxx.test (parsefoo.lxx): Define a dummy 'isatty()' function. * tests/lex-depend-cxx.test (joe.ll): Likewise. * tests/README: Adjust.

f854b6c0 2012-04-06 18:08:39 maint: simplify generation of files with @substed@ stuff Use a proper "config.status --file=-" idiom to do most substitutions in our generated files, to avoid too much duplications between the various $(do_subst) commands in Makefile.am and the (explicit or implicit AC_SUBST) invocation in configure.ac.

8a5096d1 2012-04-06 13:12:25 tests: rename 'tests/' => 't/', '*.test' => '*.sh' When we (soon) convert the Automake testsuite to a non-recursive make setup, we'll have to fix the entries of $(TESTS) to be prepended with the subdirectory they are in; this will increase the length of $(TESTS), and thus increase the possibility of exceeding the command-line length limits on some systems (most notably, MinGW/MSYS). See automake bug#7868 for more information. Thus we rename the 'tests/' subdirectory to 't/', and each 'x.test' script in there to 'x.sh'; this way, the $(TESTS) entry 'foo.test' will become 't/foo.sh', which have the same number of characters. * tests/: Rename ... * t/: ... to this. * t/*.test: Rename ... * t/*.sh: ... to this. * t/.gitignore: Removed as obsolete. * t/defs: Adjust. * t/gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Likewise. * t/ccnoco.sh: Likewise. * t/ccnoco3.sh: Likewise. * t/self-check-cleanup.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-dir.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-me.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-reexec.tap: Likewise. * README: Likewise. * bootstrap: Likewise * configure.ac: Likewise. * Makefile.am: Likewise. * .gitignore: Likewise. * syntax-check.mk: Likewise.

f8e822bb 2012-04-06 12:34:49 tests: remove recipes that run tests with 'prove' Those recipes has served its purpose by helping us during the development of TAP support in Automake, to ensure our TAP driver didn't have gratuitous incompatibilities with the 'prove' test runner. But they are now unused, out-of-date and bitrotting. So it's better to just remove them.

a4b0f4b5 2012-04-01 11:48:47 maint: remove most recursion in automake's own build system Recursive make-based build systems tend to be slower, more fragile and less faithful than "flat" ones. See Peter Miller's article "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" for more a more in-depth discussion: <http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/books/rmch/> While in the case of automake this isn't a big problem (given the small size of its build systems), it still creates occasional glitches and annoyances. With this change, the use of recursion in Automake's own build system is eliminated *but for the testsuite*. Converting that is a little more tricky, and better left for a later change (or series of changes). See also commit v1.11-769-gfeeb7f6 of 28-03-2012. * contrib/Makefile.am, lib/Makefile.am, m4/Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Removed, their content merged ... * Makefile.am: ... here, with required adjustments and few other "opportunistic" changes.

97ae26ea 2012-04-01 22:48:46 texinfo: warn about future use of '--tidy' Starting from the next major release of Automake (likely 1.13) we want to start passing the '--tidy' option to texi2dvi and texi2pdf invocations, so that auxiliary TeX-generated files can be kept around (thus speeding up rebuilding of DVI and PDF output) without cluttering the build directory too much. Since the '--tidy' option was introduced in Texinfo 4.9 (as documented in the Texinfo distribution's NEWS file), this also means that Makefiles generated by future Automake versions will require at least that version of Texinfo (at the time of writing four years and nine months old). The users should be warned about the planned behavioral change and the new version requirement it will entail. See also automake bug#11146. * NEWS (Planned Backward Incompatibilities): Add entry about use of the '--tidy' option and requirement of Texinfo 4.9.

9fe2ba38 2012-04-01 21:55:09 texinfo: don't clutter the builddir when using modern texi2dvi In modern versions of texi2dvi (at least since version 1.135, which comes with Texinfo 4.13) the '-o' option does not imply anymore the '--clean' option. As a consequence, lots of TeX-generated auxiliary files are now left in the build directory by the 'pdf', 'ps' and 'dvi' rules. This is especially annoying with non-recursive setups having the '.texi' files in a subdirectory, as in: info_TEXINFOS = doc/foo.texi In this case, the stray auxiliary files are left in the top build directory (since TeX is run from there). See for example: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2012-04/msg00002.html> See also automake bug#11146. * lib/am/texibuild.am: Call 'texi2dvi' and 'texi2pdf' with the '--clean' option.

3856a940 2012-03-28 14:31:36 acinstall: remove, it has never been really used Accordingly to the git history (see for example the 'README-alpha' in commit 'Release-1-1e-39-g9beb4ec' of 06-10-1996), the 'acinstall' script should have been used to install m4 files for aclocal. The comments in this script report that "... A script is needed to do this because we want to do serial-number checking; newer versions of macro files should always be preferred". But the 'acinstall' script has never been really used: for example, the entry "actually use acinstall program" was removed (unfixed) from the TODO file in commit 'Release-1-1k-12-g1201405' of 08-12-1996, and the only citation of 'acinstall' in the manual was removed in commit 'Release-1-1l-37-g128c3d7' of 19-03-1997, and never added back. In addition, the last non-trivial edit to the script (that is, besides updates to the copyright notice) dates back to 1996. More importantly, now that aclocal supports the ACLOCAL_PATH environment variable, installing m4 files directly in the system-wide acdir is discouraged, and better left only to distros' package managers (which already have their own way to do so, with which third-party build systems should not directly meddle). So we just remove the 'acinstall' script. * lib/acinstall: Remove. * lib/Makefile.am (dist_script_DATA): Update. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

b96263e1 2012-03-27 17:55:07 depcomp: support tcc (Tiny C Compiler) This change fixes automake bug#11007. Since git commit 0c928da9 of 21-06-2010, "tcc: Draft suppoprt for -MD/-MF options" (sic, with typo in summary line), tcc has supported automatic dependency generation with a command-line interface similar to what old (pre-8.0) Intel compilers did. This caused Automake-generated code for automatic dependency tracking to recognize tcc dependency style as "icc". However, the format of the dependency files generated by tcc is apparently different enough from that of icc to cause spurious failures in the post-processing operated by our 'depcomp' script on such files. The failure was exposed with the development version of tcc 0.9.26 (as installed with debian package "tcc 0.9.26~git20120104.83d") by test case 'depcomp-auto.tap' (available only in the master branch). * lib/depcomp (icc): Cater to tcc as well.

6805810d 2012-03-26 15:26:46 tests: workaround for automatic linker determination and conditionals See automake bug#11089. Automake is not very smart in automatically determining the command to be used to link a program whose source files' languages are conditionally defined. For example, an input like: if HAVE_CXX foo_SOURCES = more.c++ else foo_SOURCES = less.c endif will cause the build rules for 'foo' to *unconditionally* use the C++ compiler for linking, even when the 'HAVE_CXX' conditional evaluates to false (which might mean that no C++ compiler is available). This behaviour is not really correct, but it's easy enough to work around, and it's only relevant for fringe use cases (at best). So let's just test that the workaround really works. * tests/link_cond.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * THANKS: Update.

8cbbdb87 2012-03-23 09:13:11 maint: update TODO file We don't have to make creation of $(foodir) conditional when foo_PRIMARY is conditionally defined; that has been solved in a more sweeping way by commit v1.11-759-g368f1c4 of March 18, which solved bug#11030 and bug#10997. The "check" target already depends on the "all" target. Remove comment "investigate problems with conditionally defined libraries"; it is aimed at automake 1.5 (!) and too terse and old to be useful now. Remove the 12 years old suggestion that "distcheck should make sure that each file that uses _() is listed in POTFILES.in"; this is handled by gnulib-provided syntax check 'sc_po_check' already today. Don't tell to "Run automake before libtool"; automake does not automatically run libtool anymore today. Remove hint about the possibility to "rewrite automake in guile" or "add a GUI": we are not going to do so. The automatic de-ANSI-fication feature has already been remove, so no need to suggest its potential removal in the future. Remove reference to a prospective "cvs" option that could add some cvs-specific rules. First of all, CVS is falling out of use today. Secondly, and most to the point, instead of guessing which VCS is going to be most popular and try to hack support for it into automake, we should leave it to developer-specific makefile fragments offered by projects like Gnulib to provide such rules (they are already doing so with succcess). About DOS support: it should actually be dropped, not extended. Add link about Karl Berry's proposal of preferring HTML over Info documentation installed in the local system: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/texinfo-devel/2012-03/msg00018.html> Remove items about "beautification" of output Makefile.in; they are pretty obvious, and mostly noise (after all, everybody prefers clean output where possible). Leave it to any developer doing future refactorings to find out low-hanging and/or high-impact optimizations and beatifications of the generated Makefiles. Remove item about internationalization: we're not going to implement it. Remove an item explicitly marked as "not that it matters". The order of files in a distribution tarball does not really matter, nobody has ever complained about it, so do not worry about it. Remove the suggestions about allowing hierarchy of dirs to share one aclocal.m4 and about printing full file name of Makefile.am or configure.in when giving error, in order to help very large trees: nobody has ever complained about the current behaviours, so no real need to change them.

368f1c4c 2012-03-16 23:48:53 install: don't create empty dirs when an empty 'foo_PRIMARY' is used Fixes automake bug#11030 and bug#10997. An empty declaration of "foo_PRIMARY" in a Makefile.am used to cause the generated install rules to create the directory $(foodir) anyway, even if nothing was to be installed there. While this could be seen as a convenient way to create a $(foodir) directory upon "make install" (respecting $(DESTDIR) settings and such), it also caused problems with conditionals; for example, an input of: if FALSE pgkdata_DATA = something endif caused the generated install rules to unconditionally create the $(pkgdatadir) directory (see automake bug#10997). Also, a user wanting to create an empty directory upon installation can easily do so with a custom install hook, as in: installdirs-local: $(MKDIR_P) $(DESTDIR)$(foodir) install-data-hook: installdirs-local On the other hand, the old behavior of "always create $(foodir), even if 'foo_PRIMARY' is empty" was harder and more tricky to override.

This behaviour was causing a spurious failure in this test, which expected to find either a ChangeLog file or a .git directory in the source directory (the former happening when the test was run from a distribution tarball, the latter when it was run from a git checkout). The Homebrew issue shows that these expectations are not truly warranted, so relax the test to just give a warning, not a failure, in case they do not hold. Since we are at it, fix an unrelated weakness in the displaying of the git log, which could have failed when the builddir was not a subdirectory of the srcdir.

3a814608 2012-03-07 21:08:06 Merge branch 'msvc' into maint This merge remedies the confusing situation that some changes destined for both the master branch and the release branch (a.k.a. branch-1.11) currently needs to be made on the non-obvious msvc branch and not on the more natural maint branch. This has caused a seemingly endless string of less than optimal commits. The reason for the confusion stems from the fact that the changes made on the msvc branch became too radical and was considered only suitable for the master branch, and was thus written in a form suitable for master and then merged there. Later, the msvc branch was merged directly into branch-1.11, in order to rush the new features to the market and to keep the released scripts (lib/ar-lib, lib/compile and lib/depcomp) consistent with those on the master branch. However, some changes had to be made to the features added by the msvc branch in order for them to fit the requirements of branch-1.11, notably that the warnings issued in the extra-portability class cannot be enabled by -Wall in the 1.11.x maintenance releases. In retrospect, it would have been better to not merge msvc directly into branch-1.11, but instead do it via the maint branch (followed up with a dummy merge from maint into master) the moment it was decided that the msvc changes should make it into branch-1.11. All in all, this merge is going to affect neither the master branch nor branch-1.11, since it is followed up with dummy merges masking all changes. The merge is made to maintain the sanity of the poor developers, who wishes to once again have a working maint branch.

7df05a0b 2012-03-04 15:44:46 maint: require perl 5.6 throughout That version of perl is quite old already, so it should be OK to require it. More importantly, it is the older perl versions the developers can currently use for testing, thus it's safer and more honest to just require it throughout. And anyway, we were already requiring it in Automake::Getopt, which implied that both automake and aclocal wouldn't have worked in practice with an older perl version.

7f9974c7 2012-03-04 13:02:57 cosmetics: remove useless escaping for "'" character
1ac2c3dd 2012-03-04 12:56:54 test defs: remove redundant and unused requirements * tests/defs (xsi-bin-sh, xsi-shell): Remove these requirements, they have never been used. (cygpath, cscope): Recognizing these explicitly is mostly redundant; just merge them with the default "catch all" rule, and adjust that accordingly. (bzip2): Adjust some outdated comments.
ec47213f 2012-03-02 21:53:52 tests: fix spurious failure on case-insensitive file systems See automake bug#10866. * tests/java-uninstall.test: Relax the test a little to cater to case-insensitive file systems, like HFS+ on MacOS X.
6f7969a3 2012-03-02 23:06:02 news: more about planned backward incompatibilities * NEWS (Future backward-incompatibilities): Starting from the next major Automake versions, the parallel testsuite driver will be used by default, instead of the serial testsuite driver as in the past.
57d09886 2012-03-02 22:50:21 maintcheck: fix few spurious failures * syntax-checks.mk: Fix some spurious failures by tightening and/or tweaking few checks so that some false positives end up whitelisted.
1ca53a79 2012-03-02 22:24:35 tests: fix spurious failure due to exported MAKEINFO * tests/txinfo30.test: Unset variable MAKEINFO, as its content could take precedence over our faked makeinfo script and cause a spurious failure. Reported as part of automake bug#10866. Add trailing ':' command since we are at it.
bee6dc63 2012-03-02 22:07:58 tests: fix spurious failure in a vala test * tests/vala-mix2.test: Append to 'configure.ac' rather than to 'configure.in'. Reported as part of automake bug#10866, and also revealed by "make maintainer-check".
b79511a1 2012-02-26 14:17:36 self checks: relax tests on cleanup Some find(1) implementations have problems operating recursively on directories having subdirectories with null permissions, even when the permissions of such subdirectory should be fixed by find before it descends into them; for example, with this setup: % mkdir a a/b % chmod 000 a/b a command like this: % find a -type d ! -perm -700 -exec chmod u+rwx '{}' ';' fails with this diagnostic on MacOS X 10.7: find: a/b: Permission denied and with this diagnostic on Solaris 10: find: cannot read dir a/b: Permission denied The problem is that our self checks were simply demanding too much from our cleanup trap: our tests never use subdirectories with null permissions, so it doesn't matter if the cleanup trap fails to handle those. Just relax the self checks to avoid such useless testsuite noise. * tests/self-check-cleanup.tap: Only try directories missing write permissions, not with null permission. That should be enough for our usages.

8be5d254 2012-03-01 09:30:45 scripts: recognize the "q", "s" and "S" actions/modifiers in ar-lib * lib/ar-lib: Implement the "q" (quick) action as a synonym for "r" (replace). Ignore "s" (symbol index) and "S" (no symbol index) when used as modifiers and "s" when used as a command, there is simply no way for Microsoft lib to not update the symbol table index in the archive. (scriptversion): Update. * tests/ar-lib.test: Check the added behavior. Also add checks for the recently added "u" (update) and "v" (verbose) modifiers.
9df2e72d 2012-03-02 11:49:18 Merge branch 'fix-vala-test' * fix-vala-test: tests: fix (harmless) botched merge
1da044d6 2012-03-02 11:48:41 tests: fix (harmless) botched merge Commit v1.11-1750-g9928ea5 of 2012-01-16 (Merge branch 'maint') reordered the macro calls so that AM_PROG_AR ended up after AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, which is not allowed. This error went by undetected since AC_PROG_LIBTOOL was redefined, but that also removed the ordering requirement making the error benign. * tests/vala.test: Put AM_PROG_AR before AC_PROG_LIBTOOL.
