Stefano Lattarini 27136dfe 2012-03-31T16:39:32 init: warn against obsolete usage of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE Support for the two- and three-arguments invocation forms of the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macro, as in: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE, $VERSION) or: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE, $VERSION, NODEFINE) will be removed in the next major Automake release (1.13). Such usages have already been deprecated in the documentation starting from commit v1.11-2015-ge99690a of 23-02-2012 "docs, news: document planned removal of obsolete macros and features". We now start giving runtime warnings as well (in the 'obsolete' category). * NEWS: Update. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Report the two- and three-arguments form invocation. * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Likewise. * doc/automake.texi: Minor adjustments. Add an @anchor to the location where it's described how to modernize outdated invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, so that it can be referenced from automake warning/error messages. * t/aminit-moreargs-deprecation.sh: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * tests/ac-output-old.tap: Adjust by calling automake with the warnings in the 'obsolete' category disabled. * t/backcompat.test: Likewise. * t/backcompat3.test: Likewise. * t/backcompat5.test: Likewise. * t/backcompat6.test: Likewise. * t/version.test: Likewise. * t/version2.test: Likewise. * t/pr2.test: Modernize style of AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocations, and use proper m4 quoting. * t/pr87.test: Likewise. * t/confsub.test: Likewise. * t/install2.test: Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini 37267407 2012-05-06T10:15:59 m4: prepend m4 builtins with "m4_" The comments in 'lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4' from Autoconf 2.69 read: We discourage the use of the non prefixed macro names: M4sugar maps all the builtins into 'm4_'. Autoconf has been converted to these names too. But users may still depend upon these, so reestablish them. Alas, in our init.m4 files, we were still using m4 builtins without prefixing them with "m4_". Not nice for a package that is one of the major clients of Autoconf, and an integral part of the GNU Autotools! Fix the issue. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use 'm4_define' and 'm4_defn' instead of 'define' and 'defn'. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

Stefano Lattarini 001db089 2012-04-21T15:51:09 vala: configure exit with status 77, not 1, if valac version is too old From a report by Bruno Haible in automake bug#1193. This change should also automatically avoid spurious testsuite failures with older vala versions. * m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Exit with status 77, rather than 1, if the Vala compiler found older than the minimal required version (if any). This is more consistent with what is done by other macros like AM_PROG_UPC or AC_PROG_CC. * NEWS: Update. * t/vala-headers.sh: Adjust, so that the test is only skipped of the vala compiler is too old or the required PKG_CHECK_MODULES third-party macro is not found by aclocal, and not if a generic error happens in the configure script. * t/vala-libs.sh: Likewise. * t/vala2.sh: Likewise. * t/vala3.sh: Likewise. * t/vala5.sh: Likewise. * t/vala-vpath.sh: Likewise (but don't check for the potential error with PKG_CHECK_MODULES, as that macro is not used in any way here). * t/vala4.sh: Adjust, to avoid the new semantic causing this test to skip instead of failing.

Stefano Lattarini a4b0f4b5 2012-04-01T11:48:47 maint: remove most recursion in automake's own 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. With this change, the use of recursion in Automake's own build system is eliminated *but for the testsuite*. Converting that is a little more tricky, and better left for a later change (or series of changes). See also commit v1.11-769-gfeeb7f6 of 28-03-2012. * contrib/Makefile.am, lib/Makefile.am, m4/Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Removed, their content merged ... * Makefile.am: ... here, with required adjustments and few other "opportunistic" changes.

Stefano Lattarini b51a9afe 2012-02-22T10:12:02 aclocal: don't create /usr/share/aclocal as empty Related to automake bug#10791. Since automake 1.11.2, aclocal no longer succeeds if the system acdir '${datadir}/aclocal' (i.e., "/usr/share/aclocal" when ${prefix} is "/usr") does not exist. So we now have a directory *installed empty by default*, but whose existence is required by aclocal in order for it to function at all. This might be confusing, and sounds like asking for trouble in the long term. So we now also install a simple README file in that directory, which briefly explains its purpose and warn that its existence is required by the normal aclocal functioning. * m4/acdir/README: New file. * m4/Makefile.am (dist_system_ac_DATA): Add it. * m4/acdir/.placeholder: Delete, no more needed. * m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove it. * THANKS: Update.

Stefano Lattarini c5df21e8 2012-01-17T19:48:06 multilib: deprecate, will be moved to contrib As of 2012-01-17, according to Google codesarch, almost no active package is using the 'multilib' feature offered by automake. The only major exception seems to be GCC... But on a closer look, it become clear that GCC basically carries its own version of multilib support. In fact, Automake syncs its 'config-ml.in' and 'symlink-tree' scripts from GCC; and the GCC repository contains a version of the 'multi.m4' file that is *more* updated than the one in the automake repository (the former having being modified the last time in 2008, the latter only in 2006). The 'multilib' feature was anyway hardly documented at all, only being briefly cited in the manual as an "obscure feature", "still experimental", that was only for users "familiar with multilibs" and which "can debug problems they might encounter". We expect such users to be motivated and knowledgeable enough to make the minor adjustments required to start using the contrib version of multilib, if they really need to. * NEWS (Future backward incompatibility): Update. * doc/automake.texi: Deprecate multilib support. State that it will be removed from automake core in the next major release. * m4/multi.m4 (AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB): Deprecate. If called, now gives a proper warning in the 'obsolete' category (while still retaining its former behaviour for the rest). * tests/multilib.test: Update. * contrib/multilib/multi.m4: New, verbatim copy of the earlier version of multi.m4, without the new deprecation warning. * Makefile.am (fetch): Don't sync the 'config-ml.in' file nor the 'symlink-tree' script from GCC SVN repository anymore. (FETCHFILES): Adjust. (WGET_GCC): Remove, it's not needed anymore.

Stefano Lattarini 01c3294b 2012-01-03T16:12:46 dist: do not wrap calls to 'tar' with the 'missing' script The `missing' script is meant to allow non-developers to build a package in the face of slightly-skewed timestamps (as might happen e.g. when the package is obtained from a VCS checkout rather than from a distribution tarball). It is *not* the business of the `missing' script to try to provide wrappers for all the maintainer tools (in this case, to tool being a decent tar program). Such wrapping of `tar' was not only inappropriate, but it was also preventing the legitimate overriding (at make runtime) of the `tar' program used in the creation of the distribution tarballs. See also automake bug#9822. * lib/missing: Don't try to specially wrap `tar' invocations anymore. * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): In the definitions of the `AMTAR' variable, do not wrap the `tar' invocation with the `missing' script anymore. Instead, allow the user to override the intended tar program at make runtime, by defining the `TAR' environment variable. [$1 == v7]: Similarly for the definitions of the `am__tar' and `am__untar' variables. Since we are at it, don't make them depend anymore on the definition of the obsolescent `AMTAR' variable. * NEWS: Update. * tests/missing-tar.test: Remove, it's obsolete. * tests/tar-override.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. Reported by Akim Demaille.

Stefano Lattarini 07cee987 2011-12-24T12:40:19 regex: remove obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX Today, practically nobody uses the GNU rx library, which, according to its own website <http://www.gnu.org/software/rx/rx.html>, has been "decommissioned". Consequently, the automake-provided macro AM_WITH_REGEX is not used nor required anymore. See also commits `v1.11-587-g5f335be' and `v1.11-433-g37b0aee', where that macro had been deprecated. * m4/regex.m4: Delete. * m4/Makefile.am (dist_automake_ac_DATA): Do not list it anymore. * doc/automake.texi (Obsolete Macros): Remove description, and in fact any mention, of `AM_WITH_REGEX'. * tests/regex.test: Delete. * tests/help-regex.test: Likewise. * tests/regex-obsolete.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Do not list them anymore. * NEWS: Update.
Paul Eggert 8493499b 2011-12-25T09:56:44 silent-rules: fallback for makes without nested vars This fixes two problems reported for Automake (Bug#9928, Bug#10237) and is in response to a bug report for building coreutils on HP NonStop OS (Bug#10234). The problem is that HP NonStop 'make' treats a line like "AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_$(V))" as one that expands a macro with the funny name am__v_CC_$(V instead of the desired name am__v_CC_1 or am__v_CC_0, and since the funny macro is not defined the line is equivalent to "AM_V_CC = )"; this inserts a stray ")" when $(AM_V_CC) is used, which eventually causes 'make' to fail. The basic idea is that instead of generating Makefile.in lines like "AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_$(V))", we generate "AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_@AM_V@)". We then AC_SUBST $(V) for @AM_V@ in the usual case where `make' supports nested variables, and substitute 1 (or 0) otherwise. Similarly for usages like $(am__v_CC_$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)). With this change, make implementations that doesn't grasp nested variable expansions will still be able to run Makefiles generated using the silent-rules option. They won't allow the user to override the make verbosity at runtime through redefinition of $(V) (as in "make V=0"); but this is still an improvement over not being able to work at all. * NEWS: Document this. * automake.in (define_verbose_var): When defining the variables, use @AM_V@ rather than $(V), and use @AM_DEFAULT_V@ rather than $(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY). * doc/automake.texi (Automake silent-rules Option): Explain new system. * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): Check whether `make' supports nested variables, and substitute AM_V and AM_DEFAULT_V accordingly. * tests/silent-nested-vars.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

Stefano Lattarini 5f335bed 2010-11-13T12:21:28 regex: deprecate the obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX This is a backport of commit v1.11-433-g37b0aee. Today, practically nobody uses the GNU rx library, which, according to its own website <http://www.gnu.org/software/rx/rx.html>, has been "decommissioned". Consequently, the automake-provided macro AM_WITH_REGEX is not used nor required anymore. Deprecate it, so that it will be possible to safely remove it in the next major automake version. * m4/regex.m4 (AM_WITH_REGEX): Give a warning of the class `obsolete' when this macro is used. * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Move description of `AM_WITH_REGEX' from here ... (Obsolete Macros): ... to here, and declare it as obsolete and "to be removed in a future version". * tests/regex-obsolete.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS: Update. See also: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-11/msg00131.html>

Stefano Lattarini 5431402f 2011-12-22T14:27:47 maint: snapshots from `maint' are still development snapshots The maintenance-oriented development line in the `maint' branch, while being usually pretty stable and 99% backward-compatible, is not always right off production-quality; but until now, the Automake package version declared in configure.ac hid this fact, since it appeared to be the version of a stable release (e.g., 11.1).

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. In fact, this has been a necessity also in the past, because automake has been known to use in its own build system new development features that hadn't been present in any previously released automake distribution. * aclocal.m4: Delete. * configure: Likewise. * Makefile.in: Likewise. * doc/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/am/Makefile.in: Likewise. * m4/Makefile.in: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.in: Likewise. * .gitignore: Ignore configure, aclocal.m4, and all the Makefile.in files. * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): New macro call, to require the latest autoconf (2.68 for the moment).

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.

Stefano Lattarini 0a73aff7 2011-05-31T18:07:56 Merge branch 'master' into testsuite-work * master: automake, aclocal: honour configure-time AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE build: the user can override AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE too tests/README: fix example about `make -e' usage
Stefano Lattarini 3eb05919 2011-05-31T18:03:48 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: automake, aclocal: honour configure-time AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE build: the user can override AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE too tests/README: fix example about `make -e' usage
Stefano Lattarini 8a8890a9 2011-05-29T11:04:08 build: the user can override AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE too Our build system allows the user to override AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER at configure time, and honours these overrides in our testsuite. But it didn't do the same with AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE. This change fixes that inconsistency. * configure.ac (am_AUTOM4TE, am_AUTOUPDATE, am_AUTORECONF): New AC_SUBSTitutions. Update comments. * tests/defs.in ($AUTOUPDATE): Default to `@am_AUTOUPDATE@' now. ($AUTOM4TE): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTOM4TE@'. ($AUTORECONF): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTORECONF@'. * doc/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): Update.
Stefano Lattarini f5708853 2011-05-21T09:12:06 test defs: better detection of cross-compile mode * configure.ac (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): New, probably not strictly necessary, but useful to complements AC_CANONICAL_BUILD. * tests/defs-static.in ($host_alias, $build_alias): New variables, exported, user-overridable, defaults AC_SUBST'd by configure. * tests/defs (cross_compiling): Consider cross-compilation mode active only if `$host_alias' is not empty *and* it differs from `$build_alias'. This is more faithful to the way configure determines whether it is cross-compiling, but still allows the user to easily force cross-compilation by overriding `host_alias' and `build_alias' at runtime. From a report by Ralf Wildenhues.

Stefano Lattarini 6366a170 2011-02-01T23:22:08 python: extend and improve tests, fix minor glitches * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Ensure the "checking ..." messages from configure are always complete, even in case of failure. Tiny cosmetic improvement in info/error messages. * tests/python.test: Also check that automake complains if the PYTHON primary is used but the `py-compile' script is not present. Make grepping of generated Makefile.in laxer w.r.t. whitespace. Add trailing `:' command. * tests/python2.test: Remove repeated calls aclocal: they are useless because configure.in is never modified. Make grepping of automake stderr more comprehensive. Remove the pre-existing `py-compile' file before trying to install it with `--add-missing'. Add trailing `:' command. * tests/python3.test: Add trailing `:' command. * tests/python11.test: Likewise. * tests/python4.test: Likewise. Also, try to pass PYTHON config variable to configure from the environment, rather than only from the command line. * tests/python5.test: Ensure that the "checking ..." messages from configure are always complete. Use proper m4 quoting. Add a trailing `:' command. * tests/python6.test: Simplify test logic, by checking for files created by configure rather then grepping its output. * tests/python7.test: Likewise. * tests/python8.test: Also check that `$PYTHON' is meaningfully set in the ACTION-IF-TRUE argument of AM_PATH_PYTHON. * tests/python9.test: Likewise. * tests/python10.test: Add trailing `:' command. (Makefile.am): Declare `disttest' target as `.PHONY', and add an `ls -l' to its recipe, for debugging. * tests/nobase-python.test: In testing "make uninstall" and "make install" results, prefer idioms that make verbose logs more helpful. Remove a couple of lines of dead code. Add a trailing `:' command. * tests/python5b.test: New test, checking that configure performs the check on the python version even when the choice of the python interpreter is forced by the user. * tests/python-dist.test: New test, checking the distribution of *_PYTHON files. * tests/python-vars.test: New test, checking that AM_PATH_PYTHON correctly set all the output variables advertised in the manual. * tests/python-virtualenv.test: New test, checking that python support offered by automake works well with "virtual python environments" created by the `virtualenv' program. * tests/instdir-prog.test: Also check `$(pyexecdir)'. Existing checks made slightly stricter. * tests/instdir-prog.test: Also check `$(pyexecdir)'. Existing * tests/instdir-ltlib.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
Stefano Lattarini 34ca92b9 2011-01-29T19:47:46 tests: don't define YACC and LEX in the Makefiles We don't want YACC and LEX defined as make variables, otherwise the values determined at configure time will override those from the environment, even in the make-spawned testcases. For example, before this change, with the following usage: $ ./configure YACC=yacc $ export YACC='bison -y' $ make check the testsuite would have ended up, very counterintuitively, with YACC defined to 'yacc' in the testcases' environment. * configure.ac: Call `AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE' on YACC and LEX.
Stefano Lattarini aa9a269b 2011-01-28T23:04:14 configure: look for a lex program to be used by the testsuite This will allow the testcases requiring a 'lex' program to run also with vendor/legacy lex implementations, not only with 'flex'. * configure.ac: Look for a lex program, using AC_CHECK_PROGS. * tests/defs.in: New required entry 'lex'. ($LEX): Let the user override the lex program to be used by the testsuite. * tests/cond35.test ($required): Require 'lex', not 'flex'. * tests/cond36.test: Likewise. * tests/lexv3.test: Likewise. * tests/lexv3.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-lex-gcc.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-lex-generic.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-many-gcc.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-many-generic.test:likewise. * tests/lexvpath.test: Likewise, and fix typo in comments.
Stefano Lattarini d86a2739 2011-01-22T21:11:06 configure: look for a yacc program to be used by the testsuite Instead of forcing the user to manually export 'YACC' in the testsuite to use a non-bison yacc, we now look for a yacc program at configure time, and use that as the default in the testsuite. * configure.ac: Look for a yacc program, using AC_CHECK_PROGS. * tests/defs.in: Updated to use the value of $YACC precomputed by configure, unless the user overrides that in the environment.
