cde0e3bb	2024-06-19T09:41:22	doc: rewrite subsecond NEWS entry, sanity.m4 "make" testing wrong, etc. * m4/sanity.m4 (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): mention that testing of "make" is wrong here; but $(MAKE) is not available? Do some special pleading that it won't matter in practice; we'll see. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2024-06/msg00051.html (AM_SANITY_CHECK): use $[]* instead of $[]2 to avoid the confusing apparent (but not) use of shell arrays; the square brackets are parsed off by m4. lib/am/check.am (output_system_information): en passant, mention that $(AWK) should always be defined since AC_PROG_AWK is part of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE nowadays. * NEWS: rewrite subsecond NEWS entry:workaround, more references.
6cb69ad8	2024-06-17T14:44:28	test: Improve output of system information in test-suite.log. Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/71421. * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG): Use $(AWK) instead of 'awk'. Remove an extra space in uname output. Start the line with "System information", and other sections with "Distribution information". * NEWS: add reference to #71421.
a2d56238	2024-06-17T10:06:25	automake: allow omitting logs of skipped tests from test-suite.log. * doc/automake.texi (Parallel Test Harness): Describe the contents of test-suite.log. Mention IGNORE_SKIPPED_LOGS. (Command-line arguments for test drivers): Document the --collect-skipped-logs option. * lib/test-driver (print_usage): Document --collect-skipped-logs. (collect_skipped_logs): New variable. (gcopy): Use collect_skipped_logs. * lib/am/check.am (am__common_driver_flags): Add the contents of am__collect_skipped_logs. (am__check_pre): Set am__collect_skipped_logs. * t/parallel-tests-without-skipped-logs.sh: New file, based on t/parallel-tests-no-color-in-log.sh. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it. * NEWS: Mention the change.
1d35638b	2024-06-07T08:41:45	maint: spelling and whitespace fixes Most of these spelling fixes are just to comments and documentation. However, some affect tests as follows: * t/cond36.sh (tparse.h): Fix misspelling of dependency. * t/disthook.sh: Fix misspelling of file. * t/help3.sh: Fix misspelling of long option. * t/instdir-ltlib.sh: Fix misspellings of macro names. This causes the test to fail, so someone with libtool expertise needs to look into this. * t/tap-no-spurious-numbers.sh (highno): Fix misspelling of shell var.
70127e61	2024-02-03T08:38:49	test: make bug-reporting message on test failure more explicit. From https://bugs.gnu.org/68855. * NEWS: mention this. * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)) <please_report>: new fn, new wording. * t/ax/test-defs.in (failure_footer_text): new wording. (failure_footer_text_colorized): add red. * t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh (failure_footer): use failure_footer_text. t/tap-doc2.sh: change grep. * t/testsuite-summary-color.sh: likewise. * t/testsuite-summary-count-many.sh: likewise. * t/testsuite-summary-count.sh: likewise. * t/testsuite-summary-reference-log.sh: likewise.
d550b6ee	2024-01-27T18:07:48	test: output system information after summary report. From https://bugs.gnu.org/68746. * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)) <output_system_information>: new shell fn, called inline to write basic os information into test-suite.log. Also, question (do not change) the ".. contents:: :depth: 2" line; what is this for?

21ac1161	2023-12-30T15:37:05	dist: Use -9 instead of --best, and only for gzip, to pacify Alpine. From https://bugs.gnu.org/68151. * lib/am/distdir.am (GZIP_ENV): Set to -9, not --best, since Alpine does not support --best. (distcheck): Don't use GZIP_ENV when invoking gzip for decompression, since Alpine does not support -1..-9 with decompression. * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Document the change. * NEWS: mention this. (En passant, add more change links.)
c8fcdede	2023-12-27T06:52:50	maint: avoid a racy distcheck failure * lib/am/distdir.am (am__remove_distdir): Use ";" not "&&" after the chmod-running find, so that a failing find doesn't cause the entire rule to fail. This could happen when a directory like doc/automake.t2d being processed by find is concurrently deleted by another rule.
31a4eb47	2023-12-17T08:42:35	dist: more forcefully deal with mode 0 directories created by tests. From https://bugs.gnu.org/67868. * lib/am/distdir.am (am__remove_distdir): make directories readable and searchable, not just writable. (Also typo.) * t/local.mk (clean-local-check): ensure directories are at least mode 700 * t/uninstall-fail.sh: restore reasonable permissions of the mode 0 $inst/share directory at the end.
dbdfa65c	2023-07-20T18:03:27	automake: disable GNU make's internal pattern rules, for speed. From https://bugs.gnu.org/64743. * lib/am/footer.am: Disable GNU make's internal pattern rules. * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (_conditionals_for_rule): Add special handling for these pattern rules from footer.am. (define): Likewise. * t/nodep.sh: Update test to avoid matching the new %:: rules. * t/fnoc.sh: Update test to avoid matching the new %:: SCCS rule. * NEWS: Mention this. * doc/automake.texi (Suffixes): Likewise. (Doc changes written by Karl.)
ab347652	2023-07-05T08:59:29	python: support noinst_PYTHON preceding foo_PYTHON. This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/24507. * lib/am/python.am (am__pep3147_tweak): remove conditional on %?INSTALL%. * t/python-pr10995.sh: test with make uninstall.
7fd1d064	2023-01-13T04:02:57	distdir/emacs: avoid `test -d` with MKDIR_P We don't need to do the `test -d ... \|\| mkdir ...` dance when we have the MKDIR_P helper, so simplify this code a bit. * lib/am/distdir.am: Use $(MKDIR_P). * lib/am/lisp.am: Drop redundant `test -d`.
f15852df	2023-01-03T21:46:38	rm: convert more cases to am__rm_f Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/10828. Clean up a few more cases where we were doing `test ... \|\| rm ...` to avoid calling `rm -f` without arguments by leveraging am__rm_f. These were harder to find in the source due to their constructed nature. The clean programs rules in particular were much more complicated than they needed to be. This logic boiled down to two things: delete the list of programs, and then delete the list without the exeext suffix, but only if the list of programs is non-empty. The check-TESTS rule was converted to am__rm_f, but a simplification was missed where the $list variable is inlined. * bin/automake.in: Delete test -z logic and always call am__rm_f. * contrib/check-html.am: Use $(am__rm_f) helper. * doc/automake.texi: Update examples to match current behavior. * lib/am/check.am: Inline $list variable. * lib/am/progs.am: Rewrite rule to use $(am__rm_f).
efc7dc40	2023-01-03T23:30:29	check: drop unused trs_list variable When the code that used this variable was removed, the variable itself was left behind. Clean that up now too. * lib/am/check.am: Delete trs_list.
2cb09ea9	2023-01-03T21:07:45	depend: trim spurious leading tab These vars are replaced with a list of remove commands that are joined with a \n and each line always has a leading \t inserted. That means the literal tab here before the var leads to 2 tabs included in the output. While not functionally a problem, it can be a bit confusing when reading the output as it implies something is amiss. Trimming the tab also aligns with the other .am files which don't include it. * lib/am/depend.am: Delete tab before %DISTRMS%.

This change is per automake thread: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2022-09/msg00002.html * lib/am/distdir.am (distcleancheck_listfiles): filter "silly rename" files (.nfs* .smb* .__afs*), unavoidably created by deleting files that are still open in some process on network file systems.
d4801dff	2022-09-26T09:04:59	automake: load -l bytecomp for Emacs. * lib/am/lisp.am (.el.elc): Require the bytecomp library so byte-compile-dest-file-function can be used when available.
bee2ab12	2022-09-26T08:57:43	automake: silent make output for Emacs byte compilation. * lib/am/lisp.am: Use $(AM_V_GEN) in .el.elc rule. * NEWS: mention this. * THANKS: add new contributor.
f9fdcdfd	2022-05-23T13:47:02	deps: create empty file instead of dummy file. This change is per an automake thread, see both before and after: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2022-05/msg00006.html * lib/am/depend.am ($(am__depfiles_remade)): create empty files for dependencies instead of files with a line '# dummy'. Turns out this is noticeably faster. * THANKS: update Jan's email address. * NEWS: mention this.
38da1d90	2022-02-17T04:35:03	python: use xargs -n when uninstalling files Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/53340. If the system has xargs, then utilize it to uninstall files to stay within long command line limits. If the system doesn't have xargs, fall back to running the remove command one at a time. Since every reasonable system should have `xargs -n`, and POSIX requires it, the fallback probably rarely gets used, so don't bother optimizing. * lib/am/inst-vars.am: Use am__xargs_n to call rm -f on the files. * lib/am/python.am: Drop am__base_list and for loop and let the am__uninstall_files_from_dir break up the long command lines. * m4/init.m4: Call _AM_PROG_XARGS_N. * m4/xargsn.m4: New test for `xargs -n`.
3099097d	2022-02-17T03:50:55	rm: handle -f w/no arguments gracefully Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/10828. Delete the configure check that would abort if `rm -f` does not work, and delete the plans to make this a hard requirement in the future. Instead, test to see if `rm -f` fails w/out arguments. If it does, define am__rm_f such that it always passes at least the "" argument when deleting files. If it doesn't fail, then we can omit the "". Then go through lib/am/ and update places where we use the pattern `test -z ... \|\| rm -f ...` and replace with $(am__rm_f). * NEWS: Mention support for `rm -f` w/out arguments. * PLANS/rm-f-without-args.txt: Remove. * lib/am/check.am: Use new $(am__rm_f) helper. * lib/am/clean.am: Likewise. * lib/am/header-vars.am: Likewise. * lib/am/inst-vars.am: Likewise. * lib/am/libs.am: Likewise. * lib/am/ltlib.am: Likewise. * lib/am/progs.am: Likewise. * lib/am/texinfos.am: Likewise. * m4/init.m4: Delete `rm -f` checks and call _AM_PROG_RM_F. * m4/rmf.m4: Define new _AM_PROG_RM_F macro. * t/rm-f-probe.sh: Update test.
6097de0a	2022-02-15T22:25:35	python: fix exit status handling with uninstall The st variable is set at the top of this shell script, and then here is a pipeline where it tries to update it in the subshell. But since setting variables in a subshell doesn't propagate back up, it doesn't actually work. Have the final subshell in the pipeline manage its own exit status and exit with that so that the final status of the pipeline is the right value. * lib/am/python.am: Fix final subshell exit status passing.
5c9e117c	2022-02-08T00:39:40	elisp: run emacs with --no-site-file Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/21547. If users have interactive site file logic, the lispdir probing can hang, as can the compilation of elisp files. Use --no-site-file to disable loading any of that possible user logic. * NEWS: Note emacs --no-site-file change. * doc/automake.texi: Run emacs with --no-site-file. * lib/am/lisp.am: Likewise. * m4/lispdir.m4: Likewise.
9daa34db	2022-01-24T03:08:13	texi: define new AM_TEXI2FLAGS variable To provide a bit more flexibility when invoking TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF, and provide a bit of symmetry with .info & .html generation, provide a AM_TEXI2FLAGS setting that is passed to all TEXI2xxx invocations. * doc/automake.texi: Mention new AM_TEXI2FLAGS setting. * lib/am/texibuild.am: Pass $(AM_TEXI2FLAGS) to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF. * NEWS: Mention AM_TEXI2FLAGS. * t/txinfo-many-output-formats.sh: Check for AM_TEXI2FLAGS.
c1b799a0	2022-01-24T02:53:13	texi: pass automatic -I to dvi & pdf generation Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/23599. When generating info/html pages, automake adds -I flags to source dirs that contain the texi files, but it doesn't do this for dvi or pdf formats. Instead, automake has been relying on texi2dvi to use makeinfo for expanding macros, and it hasn't done that by default in a long time. Since adding --expand to the texi2dvi call is undesirable (due to bad and unpredictable BEHAVIOR), pass those automatic -I flags directly to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF so they work regardless of --expand behavior. We have to keep the MAKEINFO= setting around as texi2dvi might itself fall back to it if the version of tex is old or broken. * bin/automake.in: Add comment about $makeinfoflags usage. * doc/automake.texi: Mention automatic -I subdir flags. * lib/am/texibuild.am: Pass %MAKEINFOFLAGS% to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF. * t/txinfo-subdir-pr343.sh: Check for -I subdir usage.
975ea4d9	2022-01-19T05:14:47	progs, libs: support _RANLIB overrides Much like we have per-target support for _AR and _LINK, add an _RANLIB override too. This allows selection of specific ranlib tools in case a non-standard archiver tool was forced. * bin/automake.in: Check for _RANLIB per-target settings. * doc/automake.texi: Document _RANLIB override. * lib/am/library.am: Change $(RANLIB) to $(%XLIBRARY%_RANLIB). * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add ranlib_override.sh. * t/ranlib_override.sh: New test. * NEWS: Mention new feature.

Otherwise, many dist-using tests would fail for me, e.g., t/aclocal-amflags.sh.
13659a73	2021-07-09T09:03:30	dist: add new "dist-no-built-sources" automake option. Fixes automake bug https://debbugs.gnu.org/49317. * bin/automake.in: implement new option "no-dist-built-sources" to omit the dependency of distdir on $(BUILT_SOURCES). (Allison's original patch used the option name dist-pure; trivially renamed.) * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir) [DIST_BUILT_SOURCES]: conditionalize the dependency. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_is_valid_easy_option): list it. * doc/automake.texi (List of Automake options): document it. * NEWS: mention it. * t/dist-no-built-sources.sh: test it. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): add it.

This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/43683. * lib/am/install.am (install-exec): %maybe_BUILT_SOURCES% dependency, twice. Basic patch from madmurphy (tiny change), message#8. (.MAKE) [maybe_BUILT_SOURCES]: depend on install-exec. * NEWS: mention it. * doc/automake.texi (Sources): mention this (also that make dist depends on $(BUILT_SOURCES)). * t/built-sources-install-exec.sh: new test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): add it. * t/built-sources-install.sh: typo. * t/built-sources-check.sh: typo.
216d1834	2020-06-06T15:42:54	automake: support AM_TESTSUITE_SUMMARY_HEADER override. This change handles https://bugs.gnu.org/11745. * lib/am/check.am (AM_TESTSUITE_SUMMARY_HEADER): new variable. Default value is " for $(PACKAGE_STRING)", including quotes, to keep the default output the same.

006c4dfe	2018-02-04T00:09:31	python: Avoid exceeding command-line length limit With Python implementations following PEP-3174, a large number of files are installed in the ‘__pycache__’ directory. As a consequence “t/instmany-python.sh” test was failing due to the ‘uninstall-pythonPYTHON’ target deleting installed files in a single ‘rm’ command. Doing that in multiple steps avoids exceeding the command-line length limit. This fixes bug#30335. * lib/am/python.am (uninstall-%DIR%PYTHON): For byte-compiled files installed in '__pycache__' directory, uninstall them by batch of 40. [?FIRST?] (am__pep3147_tweak): Adapt.

3f8a2dd5	2017-11-22T21:07:29	port elisp-compilation support to emacs-23.1 and newer In May of 2017, emacs.master support for using the long-deprecated byte-compile-dest-file function was removed, and that removal broke automake's elisp-compiling rule for any .el file not in the current directory. In emacs-23.1 (July 2009) byte-compile-dest-file-function became the recommended way to adjust the byte-compiler's destination. The removed functionality has been restored for Emacs-26, albeit with dissuasive diagnostics warning about the imminent removal of this functionality. It will be removed in Emacs-27. * lib/am/lisp.am (.el.elc): Use byte-compile-dest-file-function, rather than byte-compile-dest-file. Also, use "-f batch-byte-compile '$<'" rather than open-coding it, as suggested by Glenn Morris. * t/lisp-readonly-srcdir.sh: New file, to test for the above. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bugs fixed): Mention this problem.

3562e384	2017-09-16T13:03:36	Prefer https: URLs In Gnulib, Emacs, etc. we are changing ftp: and http: URLs to use https:, to discourage man-in-the-middle attacks when downloading software. The attached patch propagates these changes upstream to Automake. This patch does not affect files that Automake is downstream of, which I'll patch separately.

5fac9a39	2016-05-30T17:07:52	compile: remove .Tpo file upon failure When generating a .deps/base.Po file, our emitted rule first writes to a temporary .Tpo file, so the final creation can be atomic, via mv's rename. However, when generation of the .Tpo fails, it stop the process and does not remove that temporary file. And nothing else ever deletes it, either. Hence, in the unusual case in which one expects a compilation to fail during a successful build (gnulib's test-verify.sh does precisely this), a .deps/test-verify.Tpo file would be left behind, and that would in turn cause a "make distcheck" failure because that file would exist in one build+distclean hierarchy but not in the distribution tarball. * lib/am/depend2.am: Ensure that the temporary file is removed upon failure. * t/distcheck-Tpo.sh: New file. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it.

08849db8	2015-01-03T01:33:45	deps: fix corner-case "make distclean" bug Assume we have package satisfying the following conditions: (1) automatic dependency tracking is enabled; (2) the 'subdir-objects' Automake option is enabled; (3) the package uses a recursive make setup. Also assume that: (a) a subdir Makefile declares a foo_SOURCES variable containing a source file in the parent directory; (b) that parent Makefile declare a compiled program itself. Then BSD and Solaris make used to fail when running "make distclean", because the 'distclean' target of the subdir Makefile removed the whole '.deps' directory before the parent Makefile was done with the included '.Po' makefile fragments in that directory. This issue was revealed by failures in the 'subobj-vpath-pr13928.sh' test when those make implementations were used. We fix the issue by ensuring the 'distclean' target of any Makefile only removed the '.Po' makefile fragments included by it, rather than the whole '.deps' directory where such files resides. This change should be the last step in fixing automake bug#13928 for good. * bin/automake.in (handle_languages), lib/am/depend.am: Adjust to implement the new 'distclean' logic. * t/pr224.sh: Adjust to avoid a spurious failure. * PLANS/subdir-objects.txt: Update.

6a675ef1	2014-12-24T10:57:17	deps: 'subdir-object' option now works when foo_SOURCES contains $(var) Following a suggestions of Johan Kristensen, we have config.status use 'make' invocations rather than Makefile-parsing 'sed' hacks to bootstrap the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. To handle the inclusion of such files that are still missing when make is first we basically generate a temporary Makefile without these includes, and call 'make' on that Makefile. This fixes the serious bug bug#13928, which was an hard blocker to make the behavior mandated by the 'subdir-object' active by default (which we want to do in Automake 2.0). The issue has also been reported in bug#15919. * NEWS, THANKS: Update. * bin/automake.in (handle_languages): Add a trailing "marking" comment ("# am--include-marker") to the generated Makefile lines issuing 'include' directives for the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. Also rename the generated Makefile variable 'am__depfiles_maybe' to the clearer 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles'. Minor unrelated refactoring. * lib/am/configure.am: Adjust to account for the 'am__depfiles_maybe' -> 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles' renaming. * lib/am/depend.am: Add rules to generate a dummy version of all the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. * m4/depout.m4: Use make invocations rather than Makefile-parsing sed hacks to bootstrap the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. We still use some sed trickery in order to remove the inclusion of the still non existing .Po and .Plo files from the Makefile we invoke make upon; this is done stripping lines that contain the magic string "# am--include-marker". * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Given that now automake generates Makefiles containing include statements with trailing comment, adjust the checks done here to make sure $MAKE support that; e.g., "include foo.mk # comment" rather than just "include foo.mk". Also refactor and adjust to leave better debugging info in config.log. * t/postproc.sh: Rename ... * t/depend-postproc.sh: ... to this, and adjust and enhance. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Adjust.

01a7a4a7	2014-12-23T18:39:32	dist: fix bug#18286 "distcheck fails to detect missing files" BTW, this issue had been already reported in the past: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2006-09/msg00008.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-01/msg00049.html "make distcheck" could sometimes fail to detect missing files in the distribution tarball, especially in those cases where both the generated files and their dependencies are explicitly in $(srcdir). An important example of this are generated makefile fragments included at Automake time in Makefile.am. A basic example: # -- Makefile.am -- $(srcdir)/fragment.am: $(srcdir)/data.txt $(srcdir)/preproc.sh cd $(srcdir) && $(SHELL) preproc.sh <data.txt >fragment.am include $(srcdir)/fragment.am ... If the use forgot to add data.txt and/or preproc.sh in the distribution tarball, "make distcheck" would have erroneously succeeded! The reason is that, while $(srcdir)/data.txt does not exist, make also looks in $(srcdir)/$(srcdir)/data.txt, and in the distcheck-issued VPATH build where $(srcdir) is '..', that file exists, as it is part of the original development directory. * t/distdir.am (distcheck): Adjust to have the build directory be '$(distdir)/_build/sub' rather than just '$(distdir)/_build'. Thanks Nicola Fontana for the suggestion. * t/distcheck-pr18286.sh: Enhance and tighten a little. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/distcheck-pr18286.sh', as it's now passing. * t/subdir-am-cond.sh: Adjust to avoid a fully spurious failure due to the new distcheck semantics. * t/subdir-ac-subst.sh: Likewise. * t/dejagnu-relative-srcdir.sh: Likewise. * t/txinfo-builddir.sh: Likewise. * NEWS: Update.

This causes the test to fail, so someone with libtool expertise needs to look into this. * t/tap-no-spurious-numbers.sh (highno): Fix misspelling of shell var.

rm: convert more cases to am__rm_f Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/10828. Clean up a few more cases where we were doing `test ... || rm ...` to avoid calling `rm -f` without arguments by leveraging am__rm_f. These were harder to find in the source due to their constructed nature. The clean programs rules in particular were much more complicated than they needed to be. This logic boiled down to two things: delete the list of programs, and then delete the list without the exeext suffix, but only if the list of programs is non-empty. The check-TESTS rule was converted to am__rm_f, but a simplification was missed where the $list variable is inlined. * bin/automake.in: Delete test -z logic and always call am__rm_f. * contrib/check-html.am: Use $(am__rm_f) helper. * doc/automake.texi: Update examples to match current behavior. * lib/am/check.am: Inline $list variable. * lib/am/progs.am: Rewrite rule to use $(am__rm_f).

depend: trim spurious leading tab These vars are replaced with a list of remove commands that are joined with a \n and each line always has a leading \t inserted. That means the literal tab here before the var leads to 2 tabs included in the output. While not functionally a problem, it can be a bit confusing when reading the output as it implies something is amiss. Trimming the tab also aligns with the other .am files which don't include it. * lib/am/depend.am: Delete tab before %DISTRMS%.

python: use xargs -n when uninstalling files Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/53340. If the system has xargs, then utilize it to uninstall files to stay within long command line limits. If the system doesn't have xargs, fall back to running the remove command one at a time. Since every reasonable system should have `xargs -n`, and POSIX requires it, the fallback probably rarely gets used, so don't bother optimizing. * lib/am/inst-vars.am: Use am__xargs_n to call rm -f on the files. * lib/am/python.am: Drop am__base_list and for loop and let the am__uninstall_files_from_dir break up the long command lines. * m4/init.m4: Call _AM_PROG_XARGS_N. * m4/xargsn.m4: New test for `xargs -n`.

texi: pass automatic -I to dvi & pdf generation Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/23599. When generating info/html pages, automake adds -I flags to source dirs that contain the texi files, but it doesn't do this for dvi or pdf formats. Instead, automake has been relying on texi2dvi to use makeinfo for expanding macros, and it hasn't done that by default in a long time. Since adding --expand to the texi2dvi call is undesirable (due to bad and unpredictable BEHAVIOR), pass those automatic -I flags directly to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF so they work regardless of --expand behavior. We have to keep the MAKEINFO= setting around as texi2dvi might itself fall back to it if the version of tex is old or broken. * bin/automake.in: Add comment about $makeinfoflags usage. * doc/automake.texi: Mention automatic -I subdir flags. * lib/am/texibuild.am: Pass %MAKEINFOFLAGS% to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF. * t/txinfo-subdir-pr343.sh: Check for -I subdir usage.

port elisp-compilation support to emacs-23.1 and newer In May of 2017, emacs.master support for using the long-deprecated byte-compile-dest-file function was removed, and that removal broke automake's elisp-compiling rule for any .el file not in the current directory. In emacs-23.1 (July 2009) byte-compile-dest-file-function became the recommended way to adjust the byte-compiler's destination. The removed functionality has been restored for Emacs-26, albeit with dissuasive diagnostics warning about the imminent removal of this functionality. It will be removed in Emacs-27. * lib/am/lisp.am (.el.elc): Use byte-compile-dest-file-function, rather than byte-compile-dest-file.

check: Make 'check-TESTS' target depend on test dependencies The 'check' and 'recheck' targets are already depending on the progams and scripts required to run the test suite. The 'check-TESTS' target while not in the public API might be used by uninformed users, so it makes sense to add the same dependency to it. This fixes bug#27186. * lib/am/check.am [!%?SERIAL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Add dependency to '%CHECK_DEPS%'. * THANKS: Update.

compile: remove .Tpo file upon failure When generating a .deps/base.Po file, our emitted rule first writes to a temporary .Tpo file, so the final creation can be atomic, via mv's rename. However, when generation of the .Tpo fails, it stop the process and does not remove that temporary file. And nothing else ever deletes it, either. Hence, in the unusual case in which one expects a compilation to fail during a successful build (gnulib's test-verify.sh does precisely this), a .deps/test-verify.Tpo file would be left behind, and that would in turn cause a "make distcheck" failure because that file would exist in one build+distclean hierarchy but not in the distribution tarball. * lib/am/depend2.am: Ensure that the temporary file is removed upon failure. * t/distcheck-Tpo.sh: New file. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it. This addresses bug#23661.

deps: fix corner-case "make distclean" bug Assume we have package satisfying the following conditions: (1) automatic dependency tracking is enabled; (2) the 'subdir-objects' Automake option is enabled; (3) the package uses a recursive make setup. Also assume that: (a) a subdir Makefile declares a foo_SOURCES variable containing a source file in the parent directory; (b) that parent Makefile declare a compiled program itself. Then BSD and Solaris make used to fail when running "make distclean", because the 'distclean' target of the subdir Makefile removed the whole '.deps' directory before the parent Makefile was done with the included '.Po' makefile fragments in that directory. This issue was revealed by failures in the 'subobj-vpath-pr13928.sh' test when those make implementations were used. We fix the issue by ensuring the 'distclean' target of any Makefile only removed the '.Po' makefile fragments included by it, rather than the whole '.deps' directory where such files resides. This change should be the last step in fixing automake bug#13928 for good. * bin/automake.in (handle_languages), lib/am/depend.am: Adjust to implement the new 'distclean' logic. * t/pr224.sh: Adjust to avoid a spurious failure. * PLANS/subdir-objects.txt: Update.

deps: 'subdir-object' option now works when foo_SOURCES contains $(var) Following a suggestions of Johan Kristensen, we have config.status use 'make' invocations rather than Makefile-parsing 'sed' hacks to bootstrap the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. To handle the inclusion of such files that are still missing when make is first we basically generate a temporary Makefile without these includes, and call 'make' on that Makefile. This fixes the serious bug bug#13928, which was an hard blocker to make the behavior mandated by the 'subdir-object' active by default (which we want to do in Automake 2.0). The issue has also been reported in bug#15919. * NEWS, THANKS: Update. * bin/automake.in (handle_languages): Add a trailing "marking" comment ("# am--include-marker") to the generated Makefile lines issuing 'include' directives for the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. Also rename the generated Makefile variable 'am__depfiles_maybe' to the clearer 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles'. Minor unrelated refactoring. * lib/am/configure.am: Adjust to account for the 'am__depfiles_maybe' -> 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles' renaming. * lib/am/depend.am: Add rules to generate a dummy version of all the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. * m4/depout.m4: Use make invocations rather than Makefile-parsing sed hacks to bootstrap the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. We still use some sed trickery in order to remove the inclusion of the still non existing .Po and .Plo files from the Makefile we invoke make upon; this is done stripping lines that contain the magic string "# am--include-marker". * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Given that now automake generates Makefiles containing include statements with trailing comment, adjust the checks done here to make sure $MAKE support that; e.g., "include foo.mk # comment" rather than just "include foo.mk". Also refactor and adjust to leave better debugging info in config.log. * t/postproc.sh: Rename ... * t/depend-postproc.sh: ... to this, and adjust and enhance. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Adjust. (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh', which is now succeeding. * t/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh: Simplify slightly, now that we expect it to pass. * t/depcomp8a.sh: Adjust grepping check to account for the changes in the generated Makefile, and tp be somewhat more robust in light of possible future modifications. * t/depcomp8b.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj11b.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj11c.sh: Likewise. * t/extra-sources.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-depend-grep.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-depend-cxx.sh: Add a command to help debugging in case of test failure.

dist: fix bug#18286 "distcheck fails to detect missing files" BTW, this issue had been already reported in the past: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2006-09/msg00008.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-01/msg00049.html "make distcheck" could sometimes fail to detect missing files in the distribution tarball, especially in those cases where both the generated files and their dependencies are explicitly in $(srcdir). An important example of this are *generated* makefile fragments included at Automake time in Makefile.am. A basic example: # -*- Makefile.am -*- $(srcdir)/fragment.am: $(srcdir)/data.txt $(srcdir)/preproc.sh cd $(srcdir) && $(SHELL) preproc.sh <data.txt >fragment.am include $(srcdir)/fragment.am ... If the use forgot to add data.txt and/or preproc.sh in the distribution tarball, "make distcheck" would have erroneously succeeded! The reason is that, while $(srcdir)/data.txt does not exist, make also looks in $(srcdir)/$(srcdir)/data.txt, and in the distcheck-issued VPATH build where $(srcdir) is '..', that file exists, as it is part of the original development directory. * t/distdir.am (distcheck): Adjust to have the build directory be '$(distdir)/_build/sub' rather than just '$(distdir)/_build'. Thanks Nicola Fontana for the suggestion. * t/distcheck-pr18286.sh: Enhance and tighten a little. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/distcheck-pr18286.sh', as it's now passing. * t/subdir-am-cond.sh: Adjust to avoid a fully spurious failure due to the new distcheck semantics. * t/subdir-ac-subst.sh: Likewise. * t/dejagnu-relative-srcdir.sh: Likewise. * t/txinfo-builddir.sh: Likewise. * NEWS: Update.

include: fix bug in handling of user-defined makefile fragments generation If a user defined one single Makefile fragment to be included (via Automake includes) in his main Makefile.am, and gave a rule to generate that file from other data, Automake used to spuriously complain about with something like "overrides Automake target '$(srcdir)/foo.am".

Improve detection of GNU make, avoiding "Arg list too long" errors. Such errors could take place when the main makefile included too many sub-makefiles, making $(MAKEFILE_LIST) too long and causing the recipes $(am__is_gnu_make) to exceed the shell's command-line length limits. This is not a theoretical issue: it could happen for projects having lots of C/C++ sources and using automatic dependency tracking, which created an included .Po sub-makefile for each of such sources.
