975ea4d9 | 2022-01-19 05:14:47 | 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. | |
|
6d0dde1f | 2022-01-19 05:11:17 | tests: add _AR override coverage There were no tests for per-target _AR settings, so add some. * t/ar_override.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add ar_override.sh. | |

cd995fe6 | 2022-01-24 01:02:41 | tests: clear autotools env vars Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/16714. The testsuite will try and retain these env vars when recursively running itself, but doesn't distinguish between vars coming from the env where the tests were launched. This breaks if the user happens to `export ACLOCAL=alocal` before `make check`. This gets a little more confusing in that the Makefile appears to export these already: ACLOCAL = ".../automake/pre-inst-env" aclocal-1.16 In reality, while those are set in the make execution environment, they aren't exported into the process environment, so children (i.e. shell processes in make rules) don't have them set. That's why tests work for most people today. However, if the user has first exported "ACLOCAL" in the parent make environment (regardless of value), then make's value will reset the process environment, and then that will leak into the children. That's why we see errors that look like the makefile env vars are leaking for these people. At any rate, the fix is to update the test harness to clear these vars that the test suite relies upon, especially the ones that are also set in the Makefiles. That includes AUTOUPDATE even though it currently isn't used inside any of the tests. * t/local.mk: Add ACLOCAL, AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOMAKE, and AUTOUPDATE to the env unset list. * t/ax/runtest.in: Likewise. | |
|
4c2c73bf | 2022-01-20 02:03:23 | aclocal: add m4 search path info to --help Add a short summary to --help of the current paths that will be searched. Make sure to omit this from the man page when running help2man since pre-inst-env specifically clears some and others to the current build directory. * bin/aclocal.in: Include m4 search paths in usage. * doc/local.mk: Run help2man with AUTOMAKE_HELP2MAN=true. | |
|
ec1a20a3 | 2022-01-24 00:57:30 | tests: fix quoting in eval We need to escape the quotes so eval sees them when expanding the variable value, not when quoting the variable name itself. * t/local.mk: Escape quotes to eval. | |

For instance $ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/automake.git … $ (cd automake && ./bootstrap) $ mkdir b-automake $ cd b-automake $ ../automake/configure … $ make dist … GEN ChangeLog gitlog-to-changelog:../s-automake/.git-log-fix: unused entry: 22729165f6bb902daeb8a4d8e7cb06982390f327 gitlog-to-changelog:../s-automake/.git-log-fix: unused entry: 3b369e6bbe0fb6d7359398935706c87dd9375cb6 make[2]: *** [../automake/maintainer/maint.mk:48: ChangeLog] Error 1 * maintainer/maint.mk (gitlog_to_changelog_options): Add --srcdir option. | |

5d022858 | 2022-01-18 04:47:09 | build: fix race in parallel builds As reported by Hongxu Jia: > The automake-$(APIVERSION) is a hardlink of automake, if it is > created later than update_mans executing, there is a failure > [snip] > |: && mkdir -p doc && ./pre-inst-env /usr/bin/env perl ../automake-1.16.1/doc/help2man --output=doc/aclocal-1.16.1 aclocal-1.16 > |help2man: can't get `--help' info from aclocal-1.16 > |Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr > Makefile:3693: recipe for target 'doc/aclocal-1.16.1' failed > [snip] > > The automake_script is required by update_mans and update_mans > invokes automake-$(APIVERSION) rather than automake to generate > doc, so we should assign `automake-$(APIVERSION)' to automake_script. > > The same reason to tweak aclocal_script. However, rather than update the _script variables to point to the hardlinked copies of the programs, we can have the help2man steps run the existing scripts directly. This makes the relationship a bit more explicit and avoids implicit dependencies on names. * doc/local.mk: Pass $(aclocal_script) and $(automake_script) to $(update_mans). * THANKS: Add Hongxu Jia. | |

ae8fb001 | 2022-01-18 02:00:22 | tests: fix py-compile-basedir.sh: missing "test" Prompted by a patch from Thomas Deutschmann <whissi@gentoo.org>, via https://lists.gnu.org/r/automake-patches/2022-01/msg00001.html: commit v1.16.1-26-gb279a0d46 ("tests: in python tests, do not require .pyo files (for python3)") was missing a `test` call. Reported to Gentoo at https://bugs.gentoo.org/715040. * t/py-compile-basedir.sh: Rather than just adding the missing "test", rewrite using a case statement, to avoid some duplication. | |

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. | |
