9d9085f803 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add "ls". 2002-09-01 10:26:58 +00:00

c8c8f2a584 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT, _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Work even if
"ls" outputs "FOO not found" to stdout, as traditional "ls" does.

6eb625f2f3 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention
ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, PS1, PS2, PS4.  Index PWD.

* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Unset ENV, MAIL,
MAILPATH and set PS1, PS2, PS4 to default values, to work
around bug in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh reported by Bruce Lilly.
For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as
the Autoconf documentation specifies; fall back to "unset" only if
this fails.  Use a shell for-loop for this rather than an m4 loop,
to shorten the output script.

c455431113 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention POSIX
1003.1-2001's requirements for CDPATH.  Give a simpler workaround
for the CDPATH problem.  Document PWD.
(Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and
"ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming
to POSIX 1003.1-2001.  Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset"
example, since the old example is now out of date.

* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Reject FOO if "cd
FOO" and "ls FOO" talk about different directories; this catches
problems when POSIX 1003.1-2001 "cd" fails due to symlink
spaghetti.

* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use AS_UNSET instead
of rolling our own unset.
(_AS_PREPARE): $as_unset CDPATH instead of AS_UNSETting it, since
in practice we needn't worry about CDPATH if unset doesn't work.

tests/Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake 1.6.3.

Update.

* configure: Regenerate with self.

hand, which is not portable.
