13659a73 | 2021-07-09 09:03:30 | 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. | |
|
16569085 | 2021-07-01 18:21:51 | dist: accept .md versions for README et al. This change was suggested by madmurphy; some ideas were taken from the patch he provided. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2021-06/msg00005.html * bin/automake.in (@toplevelmd_ok): new global, listing the files for which we will accept .md versions. (@common_files): remove those files from there. (handle_dist): check for .md if non-.md is absent. (handle_minor_options): check for README-alpha.md. (check_gnu_standards): accept .md version if present. (check_gnits_standards): likewise. (usage): output list of .md-accepted files. * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): document. * t/toplevelmd.sh: new test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_tests): add it. * NEWS: mention new feature. | |
|
e7724fb1 | 2021-06-08 17:58:10 | doc: omit "really" from manual. * doc/automake.texi: remove or replace "really". | |
|
ccca652a | 2021-06-07 18:09:25 | doc: --always-make doesn't work. * doc/automake.texi (Rebuilding): the GNU Make option --always-make does not work with Automake. Report from Johan Persson, https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2021-06/msg00002.html. Also, use "GNU Make" (capital M) more consistently. | |
|
337c4bae | 2021-05-18 18:34:56 | doc: wording. * README: * t/python-virtualenv.sh: * doc/automake.texi: wording, typos, etc. | |
 |
ed8daa06 | 2021-05-18 15:11:59 | python: use Python's sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix for PYTHON_PREFIX and PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX; new configure options --with-python_prefix and --with-python_exec_prefix to set explicitly. This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/35322. * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): use Python's sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix for PYTHON_PREFIX and PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX, instead of $prefix and $exec_prefix. But use a variable reference to ${prefix} if it is contained within sys.prefix; similarly for exec_prefix. Also support new configure options to set explicitly. (PYTHON_PREFIX, PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX): AC_SUBST these. (am_cv_python_pythondir): use our new $am_cv_python_prefix, substituting ${PYTHON_PREFIX}. (am_cv_python_pyexecdir): likewise. * doc/automake.texi (Python): PYTHON_PREFIX, PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX, document new approach. * t/instmany-python.sh: set PYTHON_PREFIX as needed. * t/python-vars.sh (PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX, PYTHON_PREFIX): also set from Python's sys.{exec_,}prefix; use ${PYTHON_{EXEC,}PREFIX} instead of ${exec_,}prefix. | |
|
03d1ab0a | 2021-02-22 18:23:16 | doc: a_LDFLAGS always overrides AM_LDFLAGS. This change addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/34925. * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): document that using a_LDFLAGS at all, even in the false branch of a conditional, means that AM_LDFLAGS is ignored. | |
 |
784fcf21 | 2021-02-21 18:26:15 | doc: [AM_]RUNTESTFLAGS not [AM_]RUNTESTDEFAULTFLAGS. * doc/automake.texi (Other Variables): Change [AM_]RUNTESTDEFAULTFLAGS to [AM_]RUNTESTFLAGS. | |
|
89a76c9c | 2021-02-11 18:05:15 | doc: user flags last does not always allow overriding. This change addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/35526. * doc/automake.texi (Flag Variables Ordering): recognize that user flags last does not always allow overriding. | |
|
f80a940a | 2021-01-06 17:57:08 | doc: discuss AC_* ordering a little. * doc/automake.texi (Optional): mention that AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR must be called before AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and recommend that other AC_CONFIG_* macros be called after. This seems to be the most common practice. Autoconf does not currently impose ordering: https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110416 | |
 |
d2ccbd7e | 2020-12-05 18:11:55 | tags: support setting CTAGS, ETAGS, CSCOPE vars via ./configure.

|
e83520ff | 2020-12-03 11:00:53 | warnings: be less forceful about a missing subdir-objects option.

|
1f166f3c | 2020-11-24 14:24:22 | doc: typo. This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/44845. * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): zardoz.c not zardoc.c. | |
|
dd616e2d | 2020-11-22 10:13:16 | doc: mention overriding SUBDIRS= with TESTS= and recursive make. This change palliates https://bugs.gnu.org/42883, though it's not a real fix. * doc/automake.texi (Parallel Test Harness): with recursive make, when limiting the tests run, also presumably needed to override SUBDIRS. | |
 |
e21d46fd | 2020-10-27 14:33:46 | python: determine Python (3.10) version number correctly. This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/44239 (and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1889732). * m4/python.m4: use print('%u.%u' % sys.version_info[:2]) for the version number instead of merely sys.version[:3], so the numbers are treated as numbers. * t/python-vars.sh (PYTHON_VERSION): Likewise. * doc/automake.texi: Document it. * NEWS: mention it. (Minor tweaks from Karl Berry.) | |
|
310edf02 | 2020-10-23 21:13:09 | doc: correct "moved in", to "moved to" * NEWS: Correct wording. * contrib/README: Likewise. * doc/automake.texi: Likewise. | |
|

|
dbc1c9e7 | 2020-10-06 18:16:14 | automake: install-exec did not depend on $(BUILT_SOURCES). 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. | |
 |
e0d69cc7 | 2020-09-21 14:16:33 | Update documentation of warnings options and strictness levels. The warning categories ‘cross’ and ‘portability-recursive’ were not mentioned in the manual. Also clarify the relationship between warnings categories and strictness levels, and streamline the description of strictness levels by merging the “Gnits” section into the “Strictness” section. * doc/automake.texi (Gnits, Strictness): Combine these sections. Minor revisions to explanation of strictness levels. (automake Invocation): Add documentation of all the warnings categories that have been added since the last time this section was updated. Minor clarifications. | |

|
216d1834 | 2020-06-06 15:42:54 | 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 $(PACKAGE_STRING)", including quotes, to keep the default output the same. ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): use it, unquoted. * doc/automake.texi (Scripts-based Testsuites): document it. * NEWS: mention it. * t/testsuite-summary-header.sh: new test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_tests): add it. * t/ax/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: fix typo. | |
 |
660dfaeb | 2020-05-28 17:45:15 | docs: promote Makefile snippets that work properly with make -n. This change handles https://bugs.gnu.org/10852. * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Split commands than reinvoke $(MAKE) to avoid file removals during dry runs. | |
|
c838e042 | 2020-05-25 18:30:53 | docs: forgot TAR in NEWS; fix " -- " in manual. * NEWS: it seems the TAR envvar was never mentioned in NEWS; add it, back for 1.11.3 when it was apparently implemented. * doc/automake.texi: consistently use "---" instead of " --". | |
|
14ac16ec | 2020-05-25 18:20:01 | docs: TAR envvar overrides "tar" for make dist. This change finishes https://bugs.gnu.org/9822. * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): mention that environment variable TAR overrides "tar". | |
|
04567be6 | 2020-05-17 09:36:15 | automake: new variable AM_DISTCHECK_DVI_TARGET to override "dvi". This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/8289. * lib/am/distdir.am (AM_DISTCHECK_DVI_TARGET): define as dvi. (distcheck): use it, isntead of hardcoding dvi. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_silent_variable_override): add AM_DISTCHECK_DVI_TARGET. * t/distcheck-override-dvi.sh: new test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): add it. * doc/automake.texi (Checking the Distribution): document this. (Third-Party Makefiles): explicitly mention that EMPTY_AUTOMAKE_TARGETS is not a built-in or special name. Various other index entries and wording tweaks. * NEWS (Distribution): mention this. | |
|
656befe5 | 2020-05-07 18:26:33 | docs: make dist implies make dvi. This change handles https://bugs.gnu.org/7994. * doc/automake.texi (Preparing Distributions): make distcheck runs make dvi. (Auxiliary Programs) <texinfo.tex>: mention that make dist runs make dvi, and therefore a TeX system is required when Texinfo sources are present. Add @cmindex entries for all auxiliary programs while we're here. | |

c211745e | 2020-04-23 17:40:39 | bug#40699: "dist Hook" documentation in manual is incorrect or unclear about write permissions On 2020-04-20 14:59:00 -0600, Karl Berry wrote: > i.e. it does not change the permissions in order to make the removal > work recursively > > Right, I see it now.

Althouth the resources are not secret, plain HTTP is vulnerable to malicious routers that tamper with responses from GNU servers, and this sort of thing is all too common when people in some other countries browse US-based websites.

RTSI 2016. https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/RTSI.2016.7740626 HTTPS is not a complete solution here, but it can be a significant help. The GNU project regularly serves up code to users, so we should take some care here. | |

3c72ada8 | 2014-07-30 17:41:15 | When computing lispdir, don't load emacs site wide init file. When computing the lispdir emacs was previously invoked with the '-q' option to avoid loading the users initialisation files, however, the site wide initialisation file was still loaded, in some cases this can cause emacs to hang, with the result that a configure can also hang. The lisp code that aclocal causes to be executed reduces the load-path list (in emacs) to empty. The load-path is used by emacs to find packages which it wants to load. Currently, if emacs tries to auto load a package during shut down, and the package is not found, then emacs will hang. This does seem like an emacs bug, but protecting against this in aclocal is simply a case of not loading the site wide initialisation file. In this patch then the '-q' option to emacs is replaced with '-Q', this has the same, the '-Q' option is similar to '-q --no-site-file --no-splash'. * doc/automake.texi (Hard-Coded Install Paths): Update explanation of emacs code used to get lispdir. * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Update emacs flags.

020fb48d | 2012-06-06 10:27:46 | subdir-objects: enable unconditionally See automake bug#13378. The fact that Automake-generated Makefiles places compiled object files in the current directory by default, also when the corresponding source file is in a subdirectory, is basically an historical accident, due to the fact that the 'subdir-objects' option had only been introduced in April 1999, starting with commit 'user-dep-gen-branchpoint-56-g88b5959', and never made the default, likely to avoid backwards-compatibility issues. Since we believe the behaviour enabled by the 'subdir-objects' is the only natural and most useful one, we make it the only only one available, simplifying the Automake implementation and APIs a little in the process. This change is basically an adjusted backport of Automake-NG commit 'v1.12.1-313-g14fe163' of 2012-06-07, "[ng] subdir-objects: enable unconditionally". * NEWS: Update. * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): The output object files are no longer placed in the current directory by default, but rather in the same directory of the source file. (LIBOBJS): Now the $(LIBOBJS) and $(ALLOCA) variables can also be used outside of the directory where their sources lie. (List of Automake options): Report the 'subdir-objects' option as a no-op, existing only for compatibility with older versions of Automake. Other related minor adjustments. * bin/automake.in (LANG_PROCESS): Remove, it's no longer needed. (handle_languages): Don't test whether option 'subdir-objects' is set (just assume it is), and do not use the '%SUBDIROBJ%' transform when processing '.am' fragments. (lang_sub_obj): Delete, it would just return 'LANG_SUBDIR' unconditionally now. (lang_lex_rewrite): Adjust. Don't test whether the option 'subdir-objects' is set (just assume it is). (lang_yacc_rewrite): Likewise. (handle_single_transform): Likewise. Remove an obsolete comment. Add a proper "FIXME" comments about a fragment of code that might have become dead code now. (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): Simplify assuming that the option 'subdir-objects' is always set. Accordingly, there's no need to warn anymore if '$(LIBOBJS)' or '$(ALLOCA)' are used outside the '$config_libobj_dir' directory (as specified by autoconf macro 'AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR'). * lib/am/depend2.am: Assume the '?SUBDIROBJ?'
