Rename the family AC_NEED_DECL as AC_CHECK: it is more uniform,
but keep defining NEED_FOO_DECL when `foo' is not declared. Files
not using Autoconf behave better when declarations lacks than when
they are wrong. So the unset position should off, hence #if NEEDS
instead of #if !HAVE (which is triggered when HAVE is not set).
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_NEED_DECL): Renamed as...
(AC_CHECK_DECL): This. Make sure the arguments are the usual
IF-FOUND, IF-NOT-FOUND.
(AC_NEED_DECLS, AC_CHECK_DECLS): Likewise.
* autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): Document the changes
aforementioned.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_NEED_DECLS): Renamed as
(AH_CHECK_DECLS): This.
(AH_HOOKS): Hook AH_CHECK_DECLS on AC_CHECK_DECLS instead of
_NEED_.
Revamp the handling of the arguments of config.status: instead of
looping over config_files etc. to recognize the file names, use
the case which handles the options.
Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
* acgeneral.m4 (ifset): Renamed as...
(ifval): This. All callers changed.
(ifset): New macro, which tests if a macro is set to a non empty
value.
* acgeneral.m4: Initialize growing lists and strings to empty, to
ease the tests.
(AC_CONFIG_HEADER): Quote AC_LIST_HEADERS in the define, to handle
the case AC_LIST_HEADERS is initialized.
* acgeneral.m4: (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): New macro, pulled out
from...
(AC_OUTPUT): Instead of using $1, $2 and $3, pass them to the
official macros (AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_OUTPUT_COMMANTS).
Call AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS.
(option handling): Use the case-esac to recognize arguments.
(AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Fix the missing fi;done.
Add a means to specify commands to be run by config.status. At
the difference of AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, require that the set of
commands be named, so that both
CONFIG_COMMANDS=foo ./config.status
and
./config.status foo
perform the Right Thing.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): Also check in
AC_LIST_COMMANDS.
(AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove a dead pushdef.
(AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS): New macro.
(AC_LIST_COMMANDS): New config list.
(AC_LIST_COMMANDS_COMMANDS): New growing string.
(AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_COMMANDS): New macro, output config commands
in config.status.
(AC_OUTPUT): Take AC_LIST_COMMANDS into account.
(AC_OUTPUT): Call AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_COMMANDS.
New macro: AC_CONFIG_FILES which is very much like AC_OUTPUT but
that one associates commands to run when a config file is
created. For instance for a shell script `foo', one uses
AC_CONFIG_FILES(foo, chmod +x foo).
In addition, check that the same name is never used twice in
config files, headers, subdirs and links.
* acgeneral.m4 (m4_append): Don't insert new line between
elements.
(m4_list_append): New macro.
(AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): New macro which tests if a file is member
of a config list.
(AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): New macro which ensures that a config file
name is not yet used.
(AC_CONFIG_HEADER, AC_CONFIG_LINKS, AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Use
AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_FILES): New macro.
(AC_LIST_FILES): New list, which stores arguments of
AC_CONFIG_LISTS the same as AC_LIST_LINKS stores AC_CONFIG_LINKS
etc.
(AC_OUTPUT): No longer rely on $1 to designate the config files:
register them via AC_CONFIG_FILES. All uses of $1 replaced by
uses of AC_LIST_FILES.
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Run the commands associated to the
CONFIG_FILES.
Provide the m4 infrastructure for defining AH_ hooks.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_HOOK): New macro.
Hook all the AC_ macros to their AH_siblings in AH_HOOKS.
Run AH_HOOKS.
* acgeneral.m4 (m4_append): New macro.
(m4_list_append, m4_list_add): Removed.
* autoheader.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA): Rename from this ...
(AH_FUNC_ALLOCA): ... to this. Includes all the needed templates.
(AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED): Rename from this ...
(AH_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED): ... to this.
* Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): New explicit variable.
(editsh): acdatadir is no longer defined, so use pkgdatadir.
(editpl): Likewise. From Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>.
* Makefile.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.
* aclocal.m4: New generated file.
* Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake.
* testsuite/Makefile.in: Likewise.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Use Automake. Based on files from Ben Elliston.
* acgeneral.m4: No longer define AC_ACVERSION, include
acversion.m4.
* acversion.m4.in: New AC_CONFIG_FILE.
* acspecific.m4: Few formating changes.
* autoconf.texi: No longer define EDITION, VERSION and UPDATED:
include version.texi.
AC_OUTPUT the Makefiles mentioned below and acversion.m4.
* configure.in: Use AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
Do not AC_ARG_PROGRAM: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE does it.
* Makefile.am: New file.
* mdate-sh: Likewise.
* missing: Likewise.
* testsuite/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* testsuite/autoconf.s/defines.exp: Changed `fail' and `pass' in
`xfail' and `xpass'. The testsuite checks that acconfig.h
templates the AC_DEFINEs. Since we no longer rely on acconfig.h,
the test is obsolete.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_BINSH, AC_PROG_SED): Don't quote the name
of the macro defined; the testsuite does not recognize this
syntax. From Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Check for the kstat_open()
function in libkstat (on systems such as Solaris). This family of
functions is preferred since they don't require setgid permissions
to use them. Fix for autoconf/65.
* autoconf.texi (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF): Do not mention which systems
might have their setvbuf() arguments reordered. It's difficult to
accurately determine and is not essential. Fix for autoconf/7.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDC): Define ISLOWER and ISUPPER
macros correctly on EBCDIC systems. Contributed by Kurt D.
Zeilenga <kurt@openldap.org>. Fix for autoconf/6.
* autoreconf.sh: Do not run autoheader if AC_CONFIG_HEADER is
commented out in configure.in. Reported by Erez Zadok
<ezk@cs.columbia.edu> as a fix for autoconf/21.
* config.guess: Clear the CCOPTS environment variable before
invoking the C compiler on HP-UX. This is necessary to guarantee
that the test program is compiled correctly. Reported by Dietmar
P. Schindler <schd@mra.man.de>.
* configure.in: Check if an appropriate version of GNU m4 is
installed at configure-time rather than at runtime. From Pavel
Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>. Fix for autoconf/2.
Fix for autoconf/28.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS): Don't assume LF is \012, use
`echo` followed by a non-blank, within quotes.
* autoheader.sh (syms): Likewise.
* configure: Rebuilt.
* autoreconf.sh: Recognise -v as a synonym for --verbose.
1999-09-07 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* Makefile.in (INSTALL, standards.info, autoconf.info): MiKTeX
for Windows treats all options after the first filename as
additional filenames, so real options must appear before the first
filename.
1999-09-07 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
* autoconf.texi (LDFLAGS, LIBS): Document that -L linker flags
should be kept in LDFLAGS and not LIBS.
1999-09-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@ascend.com>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_SEARCH_LIBS): Use $ac_lib as the index, not $i.
* acgeneral.m4 (CONFIG_AUX_DIRS): Try running `shtool install'.
Contributed by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>.
1999-09-04 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* config.guess: Use POSIX compliant shell code on DG/UX.
Suggested by Stephen Gildea <gildea@alum.mit.edu>.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Output comment to not only
`Makefile', but also `makefile'.
1999-09-04 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
* Makefile.in (install): Don't freak if the M4FROZEN files were
never generated. m4 1.1 is supported, but doesn't freeze files.
1999-09-04 Scott Bambrough <scottb@netwinder.org>
* config.guess: Autodetect ArmLinux using 2.9.1.xx linker
emulation names and using the emulation names from the linker from
the binutils CVS tree.
* config.sub: Change manufacturer name for the NetWinder alias
from Corel to Rebel.
* autoheader.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADER): Define.
1999-08-18 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* config.guess: Remove "/MP" from the release string on
multiprocessor x86 machines running SVR4.0. Suggested by Tom
Purcell <Tom.Purcell@wang.com>.
1999-08-16 Kaveh R. Ghazi <ghazi@caip.rutgers.edu>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE): Add optional third argument
INCLUDES, which specifies the headers in which to search for the
type in question. Also, pass a "description" argument to
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED.
* acconfig.h (mode_t, off_t, pid_t, size_t): Remove definitions.
* autoconf.texi (AC_CHECK_TYPE): Document optional third argument.
