d714ec51	2012-03-31T11:04:41	docs: deprecate 'cygnus' mode, help the transition Support for "Cygnus-style" trees (so far enabled by the 'cygnus' option) will be deprecated in one release of the next major series (1.12.x) and removed in the next major release after that (1.13). Better to start warning about this in the manual. * docs/automake.texi: Warn about the oncoming deprecation of the 'cygnus' mode. Suggest some idioms that can be used to retain some effects of the 'cygnus' option. * THANKS: Update. From a suggestion by Joseph S. Myers in automake bug#11034.

deb77738	2012-02-20T18:33:50	automake: new option 'serial-tests' Currently, automake offers a 'parallel-tests' option to enable the use of the parallel testsuite harness in the generated Makefiles, but no option to explicitly state the intention of using the older serial testsuite driver (which is currently the default). This makes the parallel test harness seems like a second-class citizen (while actually it should be the other way around); more importantly, it will prevent us from making the parallel harness be the default one in future automake versions, since the users of the serial harness would then have no way to instruct automake to continue using it. We solve all of this by introducing a new 'serial-tests' option. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Recognize the new option, and related minor refactoring. * tests/serial-tests.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * doc/automake.texi: Update. * NEWS: Likewise.
101216ca	2012-02-19T18:43:28	automake: new option to print location of scripts and data files With this change, we add a new automake option '--print-libdir' that prints (on stdout) the path of the directory containing the Automake-provided scripts (e.g., 'missing' and 'install-sh') and data files (e.g., INSTALL or texinfo.tex). Suggestion by Nick Bowler. See also automake bug#10473. * automake.in (parse_arguments): Handle the new option. (usage): Mention it. * doc/automake.texi (automake Invocation): Document it. * NEWS: Update. * tests/print-dir.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.

Time to fix this, before the 1.12 release. * doc/automake.texi (Use TAP with the Automake test harness): Now we document the use of the awk+shell implementation of our TAP driver, rather than of the perl one. * tests/tap-doc2.test: Adjust to use the shell+awk implementation of the TAP driver.

Issue revealed by a failure of 'cscope.test' with Solaris 10 CCS make. * doc/automake.texi (Tags): Document the limitations of the cscope support. Couple of fixlets to formatting since we are at it. * tests/cscope.test: Converted to TAP, and thus moved ... * tests/cscope.tap: ... here. Only run tests with VPATH builds when using GNU make.

(bison): New, set up the environment so that 'bison -y' will be used as the yacc program. (useless_vpath_rebuild, yl_distcheck): Moved in from 'tests/defs.in'. * tests/defs-static.in ($YACC, $LEX): Default to the values determined at configure time, and allow them to be overridden by the more namespace-safe variables '$AM_TESTSUITE_YACC' and '$AM_TESTSUITE_LEX' respectively. * tests/Makefile.am (do_subst): Also substitute '@YACC@' and '@LEX@'. * Several tests: Fix requirements declarations, by preferring 'lex' and 'yacc' over 'flex' and 'bison' whenever possible.
bdfd2295	2012-02-12T11:02:32	docs: move chapter on automake history out of main manual The chapter on Automake history, while certainly interesting and even fascinating, does not truly pertain to a reference manual, so move it out from there and into its own dedicated file. This change is made more advisable and pressing by the fact that such and "Automake history" chapter hasn't been updated since the 1.9.6 release, so it has been becoming less faithful and useful since then. * doc/history.texi: New, manual on the history of the automake package; extracted from ... * doc/automake.texi: ... this file, with related adjustments. * doc/Makefile.am (info_TEXINFOS): Add 'history.texi'.

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.

4e4dae50	2012-01-03T09:06:09	install: pkglibexec_SCRIPTS is a valid prefix/primary combination It makes little sense for `libexec_SCRIPTS' to be accepted as valid while `pkglibexec_SCRIPTS' is not. So fix this inconsistency by explicitly allowing `pkglibexec_SCRIPTS' as well. It is worth noting that the inconsistency has been there for a long time, but only the quite recent commit `v1.11-373-g9ca6326' "Warnings about primary/prefix mismatch fixed and extended" has made it noisy enough to be noticed. * automake.in (handle_scripts): Also list `pkglibexec' among the prefixes valid for the `SCRIPTS' primary. * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Likewise. * tests/primary-prefix-valid-couples.test: Update. * THANKS: Likewise. * NEWS: Likewise.

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.

e637fa2a	2011-12-30T15:54:40	dist: obsolete support for lzma (superseded by xz and lzip) The lzma utilities are today superseded by the xz utilities; in fact, the official site at <http://tukaani.org/lzma/> reads: ``LZMA Utils are legacy data compression software with high compression ratio. LZMA Utils are no longer developed, ... Users of LZMA Utils should move to XZ Utils.'' and the existing automake manual (as of 1.11.2) already says: ``dist-xz Generate an 'xz' tar archive of the distribution. xz archives are frequently smaller than bzip2-compressed archives. The 'xz' format will soon (early 2009) displace the 'lzma' format'' Also, the `dist-lzma' target still suffers of never-solved bugs, due to the too-high compression ratio its uses by default, which might cause an unacceptable memory consumption when one tries to compress or, worse, decompress the created tarballs; see also: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-12/msg00025.html> <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9658> * NEWS: Update. * doc/automake.texi (Dist, Options): State that `dist-lzma' will go away in the next major automake version. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Deprecate `dist-lzma'. * tests/lzma.test: Update.

Unfortunately, these anchors had been erroneously placed before the relevant `@node' commands, instead that just after, so that they ended up pointing to the wrong chapters. Fix this. Since we are at it, tweak the wording of the comments to the anchors to better match that used in the autoconf manual. Report and suggestion by Eric Blake.

44da9cbd	2011-12-27T14:55:41	docs: "aclocal --install -I /abs/dir" actually copies files This change is for automake bug#8407. In the past, there had been some debate and confusion about whether "aclocal --install" should copy third-party .m4 files in the first directory passed to the `-I' option even when such directory was given as an absolute path, or whether it was better to do so only for directories specified with a relative path. The rationale for this latter behaviour was that, before the existence of the `ACLOCAL_PATH' variable, the only way (a poor way, I might add) for a common user to extend the search path of a system-wide installation of aclocal was to export something like ACLOCAL="aclocal -I /my/extra/macros" in the environment. Today, the correct way to proceed is undoubtedly through the use of ACLOCAL_PATH, so we can settle the question once and for all, and start verifying the correct behaviour of `-I' with a new test. * tests/aclocal-install-absdir.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * doc/automake.texi (aclocal Options): Be more explicit about this part of `--install' semantics.
b1b43854	2011-12-26T20:08:23	docs: fix node names for automake and aclocal invocations With the older node names, an "info automake" command issued from the command line would have opened the node about the invocation of the automake program, rather than the Top node of the automake documentation. To invoke the Top node, one had to issue the command "info Automake" instead (note the different capitalization). This was suboptimal, and certainly confusing. With this change, "info automake" will open the Top node of the automake documentation; to access the nodes about the invocation of the automake and aclocal program, one has now to issue "info automake-invocation" and "info aclocal-invocation" respectively. This change fixes automake bug#8071. See also commits `v2.61a-22-ge9215d1' and `v2.61a-72-g8c07b48' in the autoconf git repository, which tackled a similar issue. * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): Rename nodes `aclocal' and `automake' to `aclocal-invocation' and `automake-invocation' respectively. * NEWS: Update.
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.

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).

automake: new option 'serial-tests' Currently, automake offers a 'parallel-tests' option to enable the use of the parallel testsuite harness in the generated Makefiles, but no option to explicitly state the intention of using the older serial testsuite driver (which is currently the default). This makes the parallel test harness seems like a second-class citizen (while actually it should be the other way around); more importantly, it will prevent us from making the parallel harness be the default one in future automake versions, since the users of the serial harness would then have no way to instruct automake to continue using it. We solve all of this by introducing a new 'serial-tests' option. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Recognize the new option, and related minor refactoring. * tests/serial-tests.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * doc/automake.texi: Update. * NEWS: Likewise.

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.

install: pkglibexec_SCRIPTS is a valid prefix/primary combination It makes little sense for `libexec_SCRIPTS' to be accepted as valid while `pkglibexec_SCRIPTS' is not. So fix this inconsistency by explicitly allowing `pkglibexec_SCRIPTS' as well.

progs, libs: implement EXTRA_foo_DEPENDENCIES Backported from commit `v1.11-377-g6edafbb'. 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.

dist: obsolete support for lzma (superseded by xz and lzip) The lzma utilities are today superseded by the xz utilities; in fact, the official site at <http://tukaani.org/lzma/> reads: ``LZMA Utils are legacy data compression software with high compression ratio. LZMA Utils are no longer developed, ... Users of LZMA Utils should move to XZ Utils.'' and the existing automake manual (as of 1.11.2) already says: ``dist-xz Generate an 'xz' tar archive of the distribution. xz archives are frequently smaller than bzip2-compressed archives. The 'xz' format will soon (early 2009) displace the 'lzma' format'' Also, the `dist-lzma' target still suffers of never-solved bugs, due to the too-high compression ratio its uses by default, which might cause an unacceptable memory consumption when one tries to compress or, worse, decompress the created tarballs; see also: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-12/msg00025.html> <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9658> * NEWS: Update. * doc/automake.texi (Dist, Options): State that `dist-lzma' will go away in the next major automake version. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Deprecate `dist-lzma'. * tests/lzma.test: Update.

docs: fix a couple broken anchors * doc/automake.texi: In previous commit v1.11-605-g5f71f2b (related to automake bug#8071), we had renamed the chapters about aclocal and automake invocation, and added anchors to the old names as not to break hyperlinks to our on-line manual. Unfortunately, these anchors had been erroneously placed *before* the relevant `@node' commands, instead that just after, so that they ended up pointing to the wrong chapters. Fix this. Since we are at it, tweak the wording of the comments to the anchors to better match that used in the autoconf manual. Report and suggestion by Eric Blake.

docs: "aclocal --install -I /abs/dir" actually copies files This change is for automake bug#8407. In the past, there had been some debate and confusion about whether "aclocal --install" should copy third-party .m4 files in the first directory passed to the `-I' option even when such directory was given as an absolute path, or whether it was better to do so only for directories specified with a relative path. The rationale for this latter behaviour was that, before the existence of the `ACLOCAL_PATH' variable, the only way (a poor way, I might add) for a common user to extend the search path of a system-wide installation of aclocal was to export something like ACLOCAL="aclocal -I /my/extra/macros" in the environment. Today, the correct way to proceed is undoubtedly through the use of ACLOCAL_PATH, so we can settle the question once and for all, and start verifying the correct behaviour of `-I' with a new test. * tests/aclocal-install-absdir.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * doc/automake.texi (aclocal Options): Be more explicit about this part of `--install' semantics.

docs: fix node names for automake and aclocal invocations With the older node names, an "info automake" command issued from the command line would have opened the node about the invocation of the automake program, rather than the Top node of the automake documentation. To invoke the Top node, one had to issue the command "info Automake" instead (note the different capitalization). This was suboptimal, and certainly confusing. With this change, "info automake" will open the Top node of the automake documentation; to access the nodes about the invocation of the automake and aclocal program, one has now to issue "info automake-invocation" and "info aclocal-invocation" respectively. This change fixes automake bug#8071. See also commits `v2.61a-22-ge9215d1' and `v2.61a-72-g8c07b48' in the autoconf git repository, which tackled a similar issue. * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): Rename nodes `aclocal' and `automake' to `aclocal-invocation' and `automake-invocation' respectively. * NEWS: Update.

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.

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.

info: allow user to inhibit creation/update of '${infodir}/dir' With this change, we allow the user to request the install-info rules not to update the `${infodir}/dir' file, by exporting the environment variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR' to the value "no". 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.
