Stefano Lattarini b105d40d 2012-04-30T20:44:50 color-tests: coloring can be forced on non-ANSI terminals as well Before this change, colorization of testsuite output was suppressed whenever the terminal was recognized to be a "dumb" one, incapable of handling ANSI coloring (i.e., when the environment variable TERM had a value of "dumb"). This happened even when the AM_COLOR_TESTS variable was set to a value of "always". Such a behaviour was suboptimal and slightly confusing; in fact, if a user wants to force coloring of testsuite output that is being redirected to a regular file, he should be able to do so even if his terminal is not capable of handling ANSI colors -- in fact, such terminal wouldn't be involved with the testsuite output in any way, so why should it be allowed to influence it? Thus, we now enable coloring of test output whenever AM_COLOR_TESTS is set to "always", irrespective of the value of the TERM environment variable. * NEWS: Update. * lib/am/check.am [%?COLOR%] (am__tty_colors): Activate colorization of testsuite output whenever AM_COLOR_TESTS has the value of "always". * t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh: Export the TERM environment variable to "dumb" when forcing colorization of the testsuite output; this should *not* prevent such colorization from taking place, and we want to check that this expectation really holds. * t/ax/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: Likewise. * t/color.sh: Likewise, and adjust some grepping checks. * t/tap-color.sh: Likewise. Also, remove redundant "make check" invocation since we are at it. * t/color2.sh: Likewise, and check that exporting TERM=dumb actually prevents testsuite output colorization when AM_COLOR_TESTS is unset. * t/parallel-tests-reset-term.sh: Relax, to prevent it from failing spuriously due to the new semantic.

Stefano Lattarini f46359b4 2012-04-18T11:40:15 parallel-tests: 'recheck' must depend on 'all' Fixes automake bug#11252. When a developer experience one or more failures in the testsuite, a good workflow is for him to modify its program's sources to fix the bug thus revealed, run "make recheck" to verify that the change has indeed solved the testsuite failures previously experienced, and then run "make check" to verify that the change has not introduced any new failure or regression. Unfortunately, this apparently natural workflow couldn't have worked until now, since the Automake-provided 'recheck' target (which didn't depend on 'all') wouldn't have causes the program to be recompiled, and the failed tests would have thus been run with the older, buggy version of the program, failing the same way as before. * lib/am/check.am (recheck): Depend on 'all'. * t/parallel-tests-recheck-depends-on-all.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * NEWS: Update.

Stefano Lattarini 9fe2ba38 2012-04-01T21:55:09 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.

Stefano Lattarini feeb7f6a 2012-03-28T17:03:25 maint: reduce use of recursion in automake 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.

Stefano Lattarini 368f1c4c 2012-03-16T23:48:53 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. Thus, from now on, an empty declaration of "foo_PRIMARY" will not cause the directory $(foodir) to be created upon "make install" anymore. * lib/am/data.am, lib/am/java.am, lib/am/libs.am, lib/am/lisp.am, lib/am/ltlib.am, lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am, lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Adjust install rules to avoid creating an installation directory if no files are actually to be installed there. * tests/instdir-empty.test: Remove, it was testing a semantic opposite to the one we now want and implement. * tests/instdir-no-empty.test: New test, check the new semantic. * tests/instdir-cond.test: Enhance.

Stefano Lattarini 947ce0ed 2012-02-07T11:12:59 dryrun: fix regression with '$(am__make_dryrun)' In commit v1.11-683-gda0964e of 05-02-2012, we introduced a new variable '$(am__make_dryrun)' that could be used in recipes to determine whether make is running in dry mode (e.g., as with "make -n"). Unfortunately, the idiom we used fails to take into account the case in which $(MAKEFLAGS) contains one or more variable definitions whose value is a whitespace-separated list; for example, if we invoke make as: make check TESTS="n1.test n2.test" then the better make implementations out there (at least modern GNU make and BSD make) will export MAKEFLAGS to the following value: TESTS=n1.test\ n2.test So a shell loop like the one we used in $(am__make_dryrun): for flag in $$MAKEFLAGS; do ... won't behave as expected: the shell word-splitting rules will break up the entry for TESTS into the two distinct entries "TESTS=n1.test\" and "n2.test", and this second entry will goad our $(am__make_dryrun) code into thinking that make is performing a dry run! So now we simply loop over the expanded value of $(MAKEFLAGS). This solves the regression, but alas, is more brittle in case the users passes on the command line a macro value containing unbalanced " or ' quotes, or shell metacharacters like, say, '`' or '('. This should almost never happen though, so we don't worry about it now; we will revisit the issue only when and if we receive bug reports in this area. * lib/am/header-vars.am (am__make_dryrun): Fix. * tests/make-dryrun.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.

This file has stopped being useful since commit 'Release-1-4d-206-g3334f9a' of 09-04-2001, and should have been removed back then. But apparently only its contents were removed, leaving the file empty but still present in the repository. Or maybe this situation is the consequence of a minor blunder in the conversion from CVS to Git; either way, this is not a big deal.

Stefano Lattarini 20f2ac90 2012-01-13T17:56:13 check: separate .log -> .html conversion from core testsuite harness That feature is to be deprecated in the 1.11.x series, and removed from the automake core in the 1.12 release, where it will instead be offered in a semi-independent extra '*.am' fragment.

Stefano Lattarini dfb5e52f 2012-01-11T18:09:07 dist: avoid $(distdir) removal failure on MSYS/MinGW This change fixes automake bug#10470. On MSYS (1.0.17) it is not possible to remove a directory that is in use, and this, together with timing issues, could cause spurious failures in the cleanup code of the "distcheck" recipe. In fact, it should be noted that assuming a directory can be removed while it the CWD of a running process is a POSIX violation: "If the directory is the root directory or the current working directory of any process, it is unspecified whether the function succeeds, or whether it shall fail and set errno to [EBUSY]." * lib/am/distdir.am (am__remove_distdir): If rm fails, sleep some seconds and retry, to give potential "pending" processes some time to exit and "release" the directory. * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 'distcheck-pr10470.test'. Report and suggestions by Peter Rosin and Eric Blake.
Stefano Lattarini 96fef7a3 2012-01-06T23:37:09 dist: distdir not unconditionally removed anymore for xz and lzip This change fixes automake bug#10444 a.k.a. bug#10448. The 'dist-xz' and 'dist-lzip' recipes were erroneously using '$(am__remove_distdir)' instead of '$(am__post_remove_distdir)' to cleanup the '$(distdir)'; so a "make dist" issued in a package using (say) gzip and xz compression would have failed to properly created the gzip tarball, since the distdir was unconditionally removed by "make dist-xz" upon its completion, instead of being left populated for the following "make dist-gzip". The problem with 'dist-xz' was introduced in the merge commit `v1.11-1142-g47587d1', and the problem with 'dist-lzip' was introduced in the merge commit `v1.11-1673-gc1b14e9' * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Use '$(am__post_remove_distdir)', not '$(am__remove_distdir)'. (dist-lzip): Likewise.
Stefano Lattarini 254227b6 2012-01-05T13:41:13 parallel-tests: avoid trailing backslashes in make recipes The new testsuite-harness could generate recipes with a trailing backslash character (possibly followed by blank characters only), in the very common case where the user hadn't defined the special $(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT) variable. This caused spurious syntax errors with at least older bash versions (e.g., bash 2.05b), and could be potentially unportable to other weaker shells. See automake bug#10436: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10436> and coreutils bug#10427: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10427#8> * lib/am/check2.am: Rework line breaks so that no backslash can be at the end of a line. * tests/parallel-tests-trailing-bslash.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.

So rework the logic of the recipe to avoid any sed invocation, relying on simpler shell idioms instead. (check-TESTS): Reorganize the recipe to be more similar to the one of `recheck', for consistency and simplicity. * NEWS: Update. Report and analysis by Paul Eggert.

The feature implemented by that change is quite unobtrusive, so adding it to a maintenance release is acceptable. Also, there have been requests from real-world users for this feature since it has been implemented in master; see automake bug#9320: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9320> and this short discussion on the automake list: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2010-11/msg00099.html> It would be a pity to make such users wait even more (until Automake 1.12 is out) before they could start using this feature. Thus we backport it, so that it will appear in the next maintenance version of automake (1.11.3). * automake.in (handle_programs, handle_libraries) (handle_ltlibraries): Mark EXTRA_*_DEPENDENCIES as recognized. * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables) (LIBOBJS): Document EXTRA_*_DEPENDENCIES. * lib/am/library.am (%LIBRARY%): Also depend on $(EXTRA_%XLIBRARY%_DEPENDENCIES). * lib/am/ltlibrary.am (%LTLIBRARY%): Also depend on (%XLTLIBRARY%_DEPENDENCIES). * lib/am/program.am (%PROGRAM%%EXEEXT%): Also depend on $(EXTRA_%XPROGRAM%_DEPENDENCIES). * tests/extradep.test, tests/extradep2.test: New tests. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. * NEWS: Update.

Stefano Lattarini e9150626 2011-12-08T22:54:18 repo: don't commit generated files in the git repository anymore It has been quite some time since autoconf and libtool have stopped committing the generated autotools files in their git repositories, with no significant ill effects we're aware of. It's true that the autoconf bootstrap process has now the minor annoyance that a pre-installed autoconf is required to complete it; but luckily automake will not have a similar annoyance, since our bootstrap script take care, through some hoops, to use the very automake and aclocal versions from the current git checkout to generate the required aclocal.m4 and Makefile.in files.

Jim Meyering c8e01d58 2011-12-09T23:17:18 dist-xz, dist-bzip2: don't hard-code -9, honor envvar settings Before the present change, automake-generated `dist-xz' rule used a hard-coded `xz -9'. That was a problem because on this front, xz differs from gzip and bzip2. While the latter two don't incur any run-time decompression penalty for using a higher compression level, specifying -9 with xz imposes a potentially fatal virtual memory requirement on any client that wants to decompress your tar.xz file. People have complained that a tarball compressed with -9 cannot be uncompressed in a low-memory environment (wrt-based embedded). Hence, instead of defaulting to -9, which is useful only for very large tarballs, it defaults to -e (equivalent to -6e). This limits the default memory requirements imposed on decompressors, yet still gives very good compression ratios. * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that made it impossible to override. Actually don't default to -9, either, since that induced inordinately large virtual memory usage when merely decompressing. Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar, defaulting to -e if not defined. Suggested by Lasse Collin. (dist, dist-all) [?XZ?]: Likewise (dist-bzip2): Similarly, do not hard-code -9, but do continue to use -9 by default. Honor the BZIP2 envvar. (dist, dist-all) [?BZIP2?]: Likewise * NEWS: Update. * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Describe the newly enabled environment variables. This is inspired to commit v1.11-389-g6da46f3, with additional changes to reflect that the xz compression level should default to -e, not -9.

This is especially useful to distro packagers, and is a definite improvement over our previous hack of looking whether the `install-info' program was the Debian or GNU version -- hack which had been silently broken with recent versions of debian install-info BTW (probably since dpkg 1.15.4, 2009-09-06). This change fixes automake bug#9773. See also Debian Bug#543992. * lib/am/texinfos.am: Don't look anymore at the output of `install-info --version' to decide whether to use it to update the `${infodir}/dir' or not; instead, honour the environment variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR'. * tests/install-info-dir.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * tests/defs: Also unset `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR', to avoid unwanted interferences from the environment. * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Update. * NEWS: Likewise. * THANKS: Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini 326ecba2 2011-09-30T12:12:43 dist: auxiliary files can be distributed from subdir Makefiles With this change, we make it possible for a subdir Makefile.am to distribute files in the config auxdir; while this means that some files might be copied multiple times, it simplify some logic in the automake script, and fix at least one important bug. In fact, before this change, the auxiliary script `test-driver' was not being distributed as expected when TESTS was defined only in a subdir Makefile (which is a pretty common setup indeed). Now this does not happen anymore: so the present change fixes automake bug#9546. Another welcome collateral effect is that `dist-auxfile-2.test' now passes. OTOH, the present changes *breaks threaded automake*. The reason is that automake needs to serialize file installations spawned by `--add-missing' (this isn't for cosmetic reasons, but is really needed to avoid possible race conditions and botched output files). Currently the code that installs required files is intertwined with the code that declares the DIST_COMMON variables; so, upon de-serialization, the definition of DIST_COMMON might get emitted in the wrong Makefile.in. Some follow-up refactoring in automake will soon take care of remedying this situation. For the moment, we just declare some "parallel-am" tests as xfailing. * automake.in (maybe_push_required_file): Add ad-hoc handling for the case where the directory part of the required file is different from the subdir where the current Makefile.am resides, but is equal to the "config-aux directory" ($config_auxdir). This is needed to allow a construct in a non-top-level Makefile.am to require a file in the config-aux directory. * tests/test-driver-is-distributed.test: Extend and adjust. This test now passes. * tests/java-compile-run-nested.test: Call automake with the `-a' option to ensure that the `test-driver' auxiliary script gets correctly installed. This test now passes. * tests/distcom-subdir.test: New test. * tests/dist-readonly.test: Likewise. * tests/dist-repeated.test: Likewise. * tests/dist-auxdir-many-subdirs.test: Likewise. * tests/distcom7.test: Removed, it's obsolete now. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Update.
