    ar-lib: new 'AM_PROG_AR' macro, triggering the 'ar-lib' script

* m4/ar-lib.m4: New macro AM_PROG_AR, which locates an
archiver and triggers the auxiliary 'ar-lib' script if needed.
* m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Update.
* automake.in ($seen_ar): New variable.
(scan_autoconf_traces): Set it.
(handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Require AM_PROG_AR for
portability.
* doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Mention the new
'AM_PROG_AR' macro.
(Subpackages): Add AM_PROG_AR to the example.
(A Library): Adjust recommendations for AR given the new
AM_PROG_AR macro.
* All relevant tests: Adjust to new portability requirements due
to the new AM_PROG_AR macro.
* tests/ar-lib2.test: New test, checking that AM_PROG_AR triggers
install of ar-lib.
* tests/ar-lib3.test: New test, checking that lib_LIBRARIES
requires AM_PROG_AR.
* tests/ar-lib4.test: New test, checking that lib_LTLIBRARIES
requires AM_PROG_AR.
* tests/ar-lib5a.test: New test, checking that AM_PROG_AR triggers
use of ar-lib when the archiver is Microsoft lib.
* tests/ar-lib5b.test: New test, checking that AM_PROG_AR triggers
use of ar-lib when the archiver is a faked lib.
* tests/ar-lib6a.test: New test, checking the ordering of
AM_PROG_AR and LT_INIT.
* tests/ar-lib6b.test: New test, checking the ordering of
AM_PROG_AR and AC_PROG_LIBTOOL.
* tests/ar-lib7.test: New test, checking that automake warns
if ar-lib is missing.
* tests/ar3.test: New test, checking that AR and ARFLAGS may
be overridden by the user even if AM_PROG_AR is used.
* tests/ar4.test: New test, checking that AM_PROG_AR bails out
if it cannot determine the archiver interface.
* tests/ar5.test: New test, checking that AM_PROG_AR runs its
optional argument if it cannot determine the archiver interface.
* tests/defs.in: New required entry 'lib'.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
* NEWS: Update.

  • This is Automake, a Makefile generator.  It was inspired by the 4.4BSD
make and include files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the
GNU Coding Standards for Makefile variables and targets.

Automake is a Perl script.  The input files are called Makefile.am.
The output files are called Makefile.in; they are intended for use
with Autoconf.  Automake requires certain things to be done in your
configure.ac.

Variable assignment lines in Makefile.am pull in defaults from various
little *.am files.

To use Automake, replace your Makefile.in files with Makefile.am
files.  Read the documentation to see what to do.

This package also includes the "aclocal" program.  aclocal is a
program to generate an `aclocal.m4' based on the contents of
`configure.ac'.  It is useful as an extensible, maintainable mechanism
for augmenting autoconf.  It is intended that other package authors
will write m4 macros which can be automatically used by aclocal.

Automake has a test suite.  Use

	make check

to run it.  Capture its output in case of failing tests.  For more
information, please see the file tests/README.

Automake has a page on the web.  See:

	http://sources.redhat.com/automake/

The mailing list automake@gnu.org is for discussion of Automake and
its interactions with other configuration/portability tools like
Autoconf or Libtool.  Write to automake-request@gnu.org if you want to
join.

Mail suggestions and bug reports to bug-automake@gnu.org, patches
to automake-patches@gnu.org.

New releases are announced to autotools-announce@gnu.org.  Write to
autotools-announce-request@gnu.org if you want to receive them.
