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.
ccb57553 2020-12-14 14:50:47 Fix some build and test failures with Autoconf 2.70. Autoconf 2.70 (released last week) makes a few changes that broke Automake’s expectations, mostly in the test suite. This patch addresses two of the problems: - autoconf now issues a warning if fed a configure script that doesn’t invoke both AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT; this, plus a problem with system-provided tools (still under investigation) broke the *build* on macOS; it also causes a couple of spurious testsuite failures. - AC_PACKAGE_NAME and AC_PACKAGE_VERSION are now defined unconditionally. AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE needs to use m4_ifset instead of m4_ifdef to diagnose the obsolete use of AC_INIT with fewer than two arguments. (This change is compatible with autoconf 2.69; m4_ifset is much older, and it means ‘defined with a non-empty value’.) * configure.ac: Use both AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT in test configure scripts. * t/deprecated-acinit.sh, t/init.sh: Likewise. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use m4_ifset, not m4_ifdef, to detect AC_PACKAGE_NAME and/or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION not having a value.
d2ccbd7e 2020-12-05 18:11:55 tags: support setting CTAGS, ETAGS, CSCOPE vars via ./configure. This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/45013. * m4/init.m4: add default settings and AC_SUBST calls for the variables `CTAGS', `ETAGS' and `CSCOPE'. * lib/am/tags.am: remove default settings of the above variables. * doc/automake.texi (Tags): mention and index. * NEWS: mention.

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.)
f832992d 2020-10-21 23:31:46 Improve Vala compiler detection: use API version, not compiler version * m4/vala.m4: check `valac --api-version', not `valac --version'. * doc/automake.texi: update documentation.
74a413ff 2020-09-05 18:12:48 automake: be robust against directories containing ().

9385c161 2018-03-03 12:01:13 python: Support future python version up to 3.9 This change fixes automake bug#28160. Since AM_PYTHON_PATH macro takes no maximum version argument, there is no need to generate _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST dynamically, like what was previously done by the reverted commit 1d60fb72168e62d33fe433380af621de64e22f23. We could rely on M4 to generate this list statically however this is likely to be a complex solution that would not improve maintainability. * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add 'python3.7', 'python3.8', and 'python3.9'. * NEWS: Update.

1d60fb72 2018-02-01 13:51:03 python: Generate python interpreter list _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST is used by AM_PYTHON_PATH to autodetect Python programs whose names correspond to a specific Python version (e.g. python3.6). Previously this list was updated manually. The automatic support of newer versions (up to 4.0 excluded) fixes bug#28160. * m4/python.m4 (am_py_min_ver, am_py_max_ver): New macros. (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Generate this list instead of hard-coding it. Implementation is taken from GNU Pyconfigure.

6a675ef1 2014-12-24 10:57:17 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. (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.

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.

7bc59270 2014-04-21 17:12:41 init: ensure $ac_aux_dir is defined before being used Since we use '$ac_aux_dir' to define '$am_aux_dir', we need to ensure the former has been initialized before we try to define the latter, otherwise the definition: am_aux_dir=`cd $ac_aux_dir && pwd` will set '$am_aux_dir' to '$HOME', likely causing weird and unexpected behaviours.

e90126cf 2013-05-15 10:14:46 AM_PROG_CC_C_O: don't rely on AC_PROG_CC_C_O, re-implement similar logic ** Theoretical problems of AC_PROG_CC_C_O: Both cc and $CC are checked to see if they support the '-c' and '-o' options together. This behaviour is highly inconsistent with that of the other macros related to C compiler checks -- which test only $CC. It can also cause unwarranted uses of the 'compile' script on systems where the default 'cc' is inferior, but the user is compiling with a proper, different compiler (e.g., gcc). ** Practical problems with our previous implementation of C support m4 macros in Automake: - AM_PROG_AR must now be called *before* AC_PROG_CC; this wasn't the case before, and it turns out there are packages in the wild that relied on the old behaviour. - The cross-referenced requirements and macro rewrites juggled among AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CC_C_O and AM_PROG_CC_C_O caused warnings in autoconf; for example, in our test 't/libobj3.sh', we could see warnings like these (here slightly tweaked for legibility): configure.ac:5: AC_REQUIRE: `AC_PROG_CC' expanded before required autoconf/c.m4:567: AC_PROG_CC_C_O is expanded from... autoconf/c.m4:429: AC_LANG_COMPILER(C) is expanded from... autoconf/lang.m4:329: AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE is expanded from... autoconf/general.m4:2606: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE is expanded from... m4sugar/m4sh.m4:639: AS_IF is expanded from... autoconf/general.m4:2031: AC_CACHE_VAL is expanded from... autoconf/general.m4:2052: AC_CACHE_CHECK is expanded from... aclocal.m4:70: AM_PROG_AR is expanded from... configure.ac:5: the top level ** Fix all of that: We fix all of the described issues with a new internal m4 macro _AM_PROG_CC_C_O (inspired to, but not based on, AC_PROG_CC_C_O) that gets tacked on to AC_PROG_CC automatically (this is done in the Automake-generated aclocal.m4) and that takes care of checking and adjusting '$CC' for "-c -o" support. The macro AM_PROG_CC_C_O is still present, but is now just a thin wrapper around such Automake-enhanced AC_PROG_CC. It is worth noting that the present patch causes three slight *backward-incompatibilities*: 1. The name cache variable used by AM_PROG_CC_C_O is no longer computed (at configure runtime!) from the content of '$CC', but is statically defined as 'am_cv_prog_cc_c_o'. 2. 'cc' is no longer checked by AM_PROG_CC_C_O, only '$CC' is. 3. AM_PROG_CC_C_O no longer AC_DEFINE the C preprocessor symbol 'NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O'. Given however that the third change can easily be worked around, that the first two changes can be legitimately seen as bug fixes, and that the new semantics introduced by such changes will simplify the transition to Automake 2.0 (when the 'subdir-objects' will always be enabled unconditionally), we believe they are acceptable to be shipped with Automake 1.14. With this patch, we also revert some of the testsuite adjustments done in previous commit v1.13.2-178-g9877109 of 2013-05-24 (compile: rewrite AC_PROG_CC with AM_PROG_CC_C_O contents). Such adjustments are no longer needed. * m4/minuso.m4 (_AM_PROG_CC_C_O): New internal macro, basically and adjusted version of a merge between Autoconf-provided AC_PROG_CC_C_O and our old implementation of AM_PROG_CC_C_O. (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Redefine as a simple wrapper around AC_PROG_CC. * m4/init.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Append _AM_PROG_CC_C_O, not AM_PROG_CC_C_O, to the pre-existing expansion of this macro. * m4/ar-lib.m4 (AM_PROG_AR): No longer require it to be expanded after AC_PROG_CC. * t/aclocal-deps.sh: Move AC_PROG_CC invocation after AC_PROG_RANLIB and AM_PROG_AR invocations. Things should work this way too (as they used to). * t/subobj-clean-lt-pr10697.sh: Likewise. * t/alloca.sh: Move AC_PROG_CC invocation after AM_PROG_AR invocation. * t/condlib.sh: Likewise. * t/aclocal-deps.sh: Move AC_PROG_CC invocation after LT_INIT and AM_PROG_AR invocations.

9877109c 2013-05-14 16:08:32 compile: rewrite AC_PROG_CC with AM_PROG_CC_C_O contents This is a much simpler rewrite than the one we attempted in the past, and that was later removed by commit 'v1.13.1d-137-g32eb770' of 2013-05-11 (compile: avoid AC_PROG_CC messy rewrite). Not only this change simplifies the code a little, but has the welcome collateral effect of making automatic dependency tracking work better with compilers that doesn't grasp the '-c' and '-o' options together. Issues in that setup have been caught by several failures in the target 'check-no-cc-c-o'. Unfortunately, this change has less welcome collateral effects: 1. AM_PROG_AR must now be called *after* AC_PROG_CC; 2. Autoconf emits extra warnings when used with Automake-generated aclocal.m4. These are unacceptable regressions for a release, but since we are going to fix them soon enough in a follow-up patch (surely to be applied before Automake 1.14 is released) we don't worry too much. * m4/init.m4: Redefine AC_PROG_CC early, to automatically invoke AM_PROG_CC_C_O as well. Accordingly, drop now-unneeded "automagical" AM_PROG_CC_C_O expansion at later time (which took place thanks to a AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE call). * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Ensure the expansion of the body of this macro takes place with C as "current Autoconf language" (use AC_LANG_PUSH/AC_LANG_POP). * m4/ar-lib.m4 (AM_PROG_AR): Likewise. Also, require this macro to be expanded *after* AC_PROG_CC (so that any rewrite of $CC, if required, has already taken place). * t/add-missing.tap: Adjust to avoid spurious failures. * t/aclocal-deps.sh: Likewise, by having AM_PROG_AR called *after* AC_PROG_CC. * t/subobj-clean-lt-pr10697.sh: Likewise. * t/alloca.sh: Likewise. * t/condlib.sh: Likewise. * t/discover.sh: Likewise. * t/objc-megademo.sh: Likewise. * t/ccnoco.sh: Extend a little. * t/ccnoco-deps.sh: New test. * t/ccnoco-lib.sh: Likewise. * t/ccnoco-lt.sh: Likewise. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add them.

3c331df4 2013-05-13 21:38:46 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: Use AC_DEFUN_ONCE to define AM_PROG_CC_C_O compile: avoid AC_PROG_CC messy rewrite options: tiny simplification in dealing with incompatible versions
c148dc73 2013-05-11 11:45:16 Use AC_DEFUN_ONCE to define AM_PROG_CC_C_O If AM_PROG_CC_C_O is expanded multiple times, and the compiler does not support -c and -o together, each expansion of the macro will prepend the compile script to CC. This can result in the compile script invoking the compile script, which at best pointless and silly. Fortunately, there does not appear to be any serious problems as the first compile invocation strips out -o options, causing subsequent invocations of the script to merely exec their arguments. Other than fixing the above, this should not normally cause any changes to the resulting configure script, except in the (hopefully rare) case where AM_PROG_CC_C_O is directly expanded (i.e., *not* using AC_REQUIRE) in the body of a macro defined with AC_DEFUN. In that case, the use of AC_DEFUN_ONCE may cause the expansion of AM_PROG_CC_C_O to appear earlier in the configure script. * m4/minuso.m4: Change the definition of AM_PROG_CC_C_O to use AC_DEFUN_ONCE, avoiding problems caused by multiple expansions.
