Priorities for release: * Fix all mkinstalldirs invocations * Add support for libtool * At top level, config.h is not depended on... * Rename dist-local -> dist-hook * Add install-data-hook, install-exec-hook * Must look for/enforce existence of stamp-h.in in srcdir? * Should be a way to have "nobuild_PROGRAMS" which aren't even built, but which could be by running the magic make command. Other priorities: * Must rewrite am_install_var. Should break into multiple functions. This will allow the callers to be a little smarter. * Rewrite clean targets. * Must rewrite error handling code. Right now it is a real mess Should fix up require_file junk at the same time * Add EXTRA_prog_SOURCES, for eg Apache Things to finish libtool support: * Handle grody compilation issue * Handle install changes * Handle clean changes * New definition for LINK Scan source directories and warn about missing files, eg .c/.h files that aren't mentioned? Currently gettext requires @INTLSUB@ and @POSUB@ in SUBDIRS. In the future this will be just intl and po. When that happens, re-enable warnings in handle_subdirs. Check to make sure various scripts are executable (IE when looking for them in a directory) Testing: allow support for Cygnus-style dejagnu-based test suites via an option Think about ways to make automake fit better with Cygnus-style trees. Omit program transform vars from header if no program installed. This is currently pretty hard to do. Use recode in dist target when MAINT_CHARSET specified. Read caveats in automake.in before doing this. Note the same problem used to apply to the no-dependencies option; maybe it still should? Note also that each Makefile.am must be rewritten at "make dist" time if MAINT_CHARSET and DIST_CHARSET are not identical. NOTE: gettext must arrange for all .po files not to be recoded. In the long term this might be a problem (consider when some systems use Unicode but the rest do not) Handle dist-zoo and dist-zip. Generally add more DOS support. Maybe run "doschk" (why isn't this merged with "pathchk"?) when doing a dist. Do whatever else Fran
