Priorities for release: [ none ] !! `make dist' bug: cp: ./.info-[0-9]: No such file or directory cp: ./.info-[0-9][0-9]: No such file or directory ** auto-generate aclocal.m4 under certain circumstances ** Consider using implicit .y.c and .l.c rules instead of current lex/yacc trickery multi-language support. Gord's idea is to have _FORTRAN_PROGRAMS, _CXX_PROGRAMS, etc, and have the right linker used by each. * seems to handle multi-language stuff ok ? * maybe some kind of auto-detection would be better ? with linker overridable on per-program basis * what about EXTRA_PROGRAMS stuff? add support for Makefile.tmpl that is auto-included in every Makefile.am. That makes it easier to do some non-std thing in every subdirectory. consider printing full file name of Makefile.am or configure.in when giving error. This would help for very large trees with many configure.in scripts consider supporting "var+= stuff" syntax. rewrite to just var=... on output. This is sometimes convenient when you want to write a Makefile.am in more-or-less modular parts should be able to determine what is built by looking at rules (and configure.in). Then built man pages (eg) could automatically be omitted from the distribution. Consider using libfoo_SOURCES, etc, for libraries. From Gord Matzigkeit. There is a patch. Idea from Joerg-Martin Schwarz: allow passing different -D flags to different compiles. This can be done, but with the restriction that a .c cannot appear in 2 different "objects" (programs/libraries) compiled with different -D options (because -c and -o do not always work together and parallel makes must work). This could be implemented by noticing whenever a ".o" target with no rules is being emitted, and adding the appropriate compilation rule as appropriate. This should work with targets from Makefile.am as well as from .P files, which means rewriting so that the Makefile.am contents aren't copied into the output immediately. This feature is probably required to fully support libtool ("grody compilation issue") If @LIBOBJS@ or @ALLOCA@ appears in _LDADD or _LIBADD, put it into dependencies automatically * ansi2knr.c needs STDC_HEADERS and HAVE_STRING_H [ I've asked Fran
