Make autoconf support --install.
* autoconf.sh (task install): New task. Extract the set of
auxiliary m4 files a configure.in depends upon. Install links
from library files to the local dir so that the packages depends
only on local extensions. Check that the user includes exactly
the files she needs.
Require GNU m4 1.4 (well 1.3 in fact).
Because we are ready to handle the case where there are no frozen
files, we *have* to pass a -I, which is dangerous in conjunction
with the silent including of `aclocal.m4': you may include things
that were not expected. Since anyway handling pre 1.3 complicates
the task, just require an m4 which supports reloading of frozen
files.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_GNU_M4): Check for --reload.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* configure.in: Explicitly state the m4 version you want.
No need for foo="`bar`", foo=`bar` is fine.
Simplify ${foo} and ${1} into $foo and $1.
* acgeneral.m4 (ac_LF_and_DOT): Remove the double quotes.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_C_O, AC_PROG_F77_C_O): Likewise.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* ifnames.sh: Remove all the code and messages related to
AC_MACRODIR, since ifnames is not related to macros in anyway.
New version of AC_INCLUDE, which does not glob, nor rely upon the
shell. Add AC_INCLUDES too. Help tracking multiple inclusions.
* acgeneral.m4 (m4_errprint, m4_warn, m4_fatal): New macros,
variations around errprint.
(m4_include_unique): New macro which registers what are the files
already included, and warns if some are included several times.
(m4_include, m4_sinclude): New macro, using m4_include_unique.
(AC_INCLUDE): Is now just a wrapper of m4_include.
(AC_INIT): Use m4_sinclude, not sinclude.
(_AC_ERRPRINT): Removed, m4_errprint is here!
(AC_WARNING, AC_FATAL): Wrappers of m4_warn and m4_fatal.
Be kind to Automake: list the arguments of selected macros
(for instance AC_SUBST will list each variable which may be
substitued).
* autoconf.sh (--trace, --output): New options.
Implement tracing of macros.
trap also on 0, so that there is no need to rm here and there.
* autoconf.texi (Output): Document --trace and --output.
Clean up the macros for testing members of aggregates.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): FATAL if $1 has no dot in it.
Use AC_INCLUDE_DEFAULTS.
(AC_C_STRUCT_MEMBER): Removed.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Adapted to AC_CHECK_MEMBERS.
(AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE, AC_STRUCT_ST_RDEV): Adapted to
AC_CHECK_MEMBERS and obsoleted.
(AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS): Adapted to AC_CHECK_MEMBERS.
* autoconf.texi (AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE, HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_RDEV):
Explain they are obsoleted, and how to migrate.
(AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS, AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Explain that the
AC_DEFINE changed (but the former #defines remain defined
currently).
(AC_C_STRUCT_MEMBER): Removed, replaced by the definitions of
AC_CHECK_MEMBER and AC_CHECK_MEMBERS.
Install a uniform set of default includes.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT): New macro. Expands in its
argument if non empty, otherwise a default list of includes.
(AC_CHECK_DECL, AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.
* autoconf.texi: Adjusted.
Fix a bit of the brokenness of AC_CHECK_TYPE.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): New macro, inspired from
the former AC_CHECK_TYPE. This macro is exactly the one that
ought to be named AC_CHECK_TYPE: it just checks, and executes user
actions. In the future, this macro ought to be renamed
AC_CHECK_TYPE.
There is a big difference with the former AC_CHECK_TYPE: instead
of grepping in the headers, it tries to compile a variable
declaration. This is both safer, slower, and better, since now we
can check for compiler types (e.g., unsigned long long).
(AC_CHECK_TYPES): The looping and AC_DEFINEing version of the
previous macro. Uses m4 loops.
(AC_CHECK_TYPE): Reimplemented on top of AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_CHECK_TYPE, AH_CHECK_TYPES): New macros,
hooked.
* autoconf.texi (@ovar): New macro, for optional variables.
(Generic Typedefs): Document AC_CHECK_TYPES.
* autoheader.texi: (AH_CHECK_TYPE, AH_CHECK_TYPES): New macros.
(Epilogue): Hooks them.
Create man pages for the executables.
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add `man' and prepend `.' so that
executables be built before help2man is run.
* configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Add man/Makefile.
AC_MSG_ERROR, not AC_ERROR.
Check for missing help2man.
* man/Makefile.am: New file.
* man/autoconf.x: Likewise.
* man/autoreconf.x: Likewise.
* man/autoheader.x: Likewise.
* man/autoscan.x: Likewise.
* man/autoupdate.x: Likewise.
* man/ifnames.x: Likewise.
* man/common.x: Likewise.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Allow a second argument,
commands to run, as AC_CONFIG_FILES and HEADERS.
(AC_LIST_LINKS_COMMANDS): New growing string. Initialize.
(AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Use it.
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES, AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Don't
pretend to have arguments: you don't depend upon it.
(AC_OUTPUT): Call the previous macros without arguments.
Clean up dead comments/code. Clean up the incompatibilities
between quoted and non quoted _AC_ECHO and the like.
* acgeneral.m4: Remove the comments on the no longer defined AC_TR.
(_AC_SH_QUOTE): Be robust to active symbols.
(_AC_ECHO): Quote properly the argument.
(AC_TRY_RUN): Don't quote [AC_TRY_RUN] in the warning.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_NOTICE, AC_INIT_PREPARE, AC_ARG_ENABLE,
AC_ARG_WITH, AC, TRY_COMPILER, AC_TRY_RUN, AC_TRY_CPP,
AC_EGREP_CPP): Use @PND@ instead of [#]: it looses the editors
that try to match the pairs of (), [] etc.
Fix the compatibility of the compiling macros with C++.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK, AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Use
`int main () {...}', instead of `main () {...}'.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS, AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID,
AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_GETPGRP, AC_FUNC_SETPGRP, AC_FUNC_VFORK,
AC_FUNC_WAIT3, AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL,
AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, AC_FUNC_MEMCMP, AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED,
AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE, AC_C_BIGENDIAN, AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS):
Likewise.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Call
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(fnmatch.h), and include fnmatch.h in the compiled
code.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_COMPILE_CHECK, AC_TRY_COMPILE,
AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE, AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use @PND@ instead of
[#]: it looses the editors that try to match the pairs of (), []
etc.
Formatting changes.
* acspecific.m4: Formatting changes.
Allow standard beta version numbers.
* configure.in: Declare version 2.14a.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_UNGNITS): New macro which transform version
numbers to pure digits (2.14a to 2.14.0.1, 2.15z to 2.15.0.26
etc.).
(AC_PREREQ): Normalize argument and AC_ACVERSION via AC_UNGNITS.
Fix the --version of all the executables.
* Makefile.am (editsh, editpl): Substitute also PACKAGE and
VERSION.
* autoconf.sh (version): New string.
(--version): Use it.
(--help) Output on stdout, not stderr.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoscan.pl: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* ifnames.sh: Likewise.
Perform a better checking for missing templates in autoheader.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_HOOK): When hook AC_FOO on AH_FOO, define the
new AC_FOO to be the expansion of both AH_FOO *and* AC_FOO. See
its definition for the motivations.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_FUNC_ALLOCA): Remove the now useless
additional templates.
Provide a means to specify commands to run before config.status is
created (and, for symmetry, after it is created).
This is typically needed by Automake so that AC_REPLACEd functions
go through deansification via
LIBOBJS=`echo $LIBOBJS | sed 's/\.o /\$U.o /g;s/\.o$/\$U.o/'`
and/or by Libtool which needs to define LTLIBOBJS and others:
LTLIBOBJS=`echo $LIBOBJS | sed 's/\.o/\.lo/g'`
AC_SUBST(LTLIBOBJS)
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_PRE_COMMANDS): New growing string.
Initialize.
(AC_OUTPUT_POST_COMMANDS): Likewise.
(AC_CONFIG_PRE_COMMANDS): New macro, grows AC_OUTPUT_PRE_COMMANDS.
(AC_CONFIG_PRE_COMMANDS): Likewise.
(AC_OUTPUT): Run AC_OUTPUT_PRE_COMMANDS before
AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS, and AC_OUTPUT_POST_COMMANDS after.
Remove spurious empty lines appearing in configures.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): Produce no output. Instead of
fighting with dnl, divert to KILL upon entry, and pop at exit.
Create AC_CONFIG_HEADERS which has the same interface as the other
AC_CONFIG_*S.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): New macro, with the same
interface as AC_CONFIG_LINKS and AC_CONFIG_FILES.
(AC_LIST_HEADERS_COMMANDS): New growing string, initialize it.
(AC_CONFIG_HEADER): Rename as...
(AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): this, for consistency.
(AC_CONFIG_HEADER): New macro, which calls AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS.
(AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): The square brackets for sed and grep were
not properly quoted: use @BKL@ and @BKR@.
(AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Run the AC_LIST_HEADERS_COMMANDS.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Once config.status created, before
running it, trap to `exit 1' so that config.status is not removed
if configure is interrupted when config.status is complete.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): When recognizing
arguments, accept only foo, and no longer foo:foo.in etc.
config.status: Speed up the creation of config headers (about four
times faster on Linux).
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Remove the ac_e
family.
Changed ac_uD and ac_dD to `...;t t', instead of `...g'.
Instead of creating `conftest.vals' with both ac_e, ac_d,
and ac_u family, preprocess to strip the trailing spaces, and
create `conftest.defines' with the ac_d family, and then
`conftest.undefs' for the ac_e family.
Break up both `conftest.defines' and `conftest.undefs'. Insert a
top label and a global test for `#defines' and `#undef' before.
Call `conftest.defines' if there are #define in the input.
Call `conftest.undefs'.
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.
Merge with the EGCS source tree.
* config.guess: Add detection for Interix and UWIN on Windows NT,
OpenBSD on PA-RISC and UnixWare version 7.x.
Improve usage of `tr' where sets are concerned.
Detect all HP 9000 machines.
Determine machine types more completely on older UnixWare systems.
Determine C library version on GNU/Linux for the PowerPC.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): set INSTALL_SCRIPT to
${INSTALL} so that automake doesn't propogate install time flags
for INSTALL_PROGRAM into INSTALL_SCRIPT.
* autoreconf.sh (verbose): use either `:' or `echo'.
(aclocal_m4): Renamed from aclocal.
(aclocal_flags): New var.
Run aclocal using $aclocal_flags.
Redirect ls' stderr to /dev/null to avoid spurious messages.
* mkinstalldirs: Add `-m' flag to specify the mode of a newly
created directory. Add command line usage and `-h', `--help'
options. Contributed by Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>.
* config.guess: Avoid the possibility of `ld' on GNU/Linux
systems being something other than the GNU linker (such as a
directory, in the case of GNU binutils).
* acspecific.m4 (AC_EXEEXT): Do not consider `.xcoff' as a
possible executable filename extension. Contributed by Robert
S. Maier <rsm@math.arizona.edu>.
* standards.texi: Update from FSF.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Avoid using the installation
script belonging to HP `pwplus' when running the install
program. Contributed by Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
and Dave Adams <adams@hpesdwa.fc.hp.com>.
* config.sub: Recognise hppa2.0w. Contributed by Erez Zadok
<ezk@cs.columbia.edu>.
1999-03-11 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
* config.guess: Prefer $HOST_CC over $CC when deciding on a C
compiler to compile stub programs. Allow this to be overridden
with the value of $BUILD_CC in cross-compilation environments
where the native compiler must be used for running tests on the
host.
* install-sh: Avoid trailing whitespace.
* autoscan.pl (parse_args): Make compatible with Perl version 4.
1999-02-24 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* config.guess: Detect LynxOS 3.x. Contributed by Giuseppe
Guerrini <guisguerrini@racine.ra.it>.
1999-02-10 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CACHE_LOAD): Avoid sourcing special files.
Works around bug in some versions of bash.
* autoconf.texi (System Services): Explain the semantics of the
AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS macro in greater detail. Suggested by
Franc,ois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): Explicitly require
AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET and AC_CONICAL_BUILD.
(AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Run auxillary shell scripts through $SHELL.
Do not rely on their magic number.
(AC_CANONICAL_THING): New macro. Cache results.
(AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Reimplement; use AC_CANONICAL_THING.
(AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): Likewise.
(AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Likewise.
(AC_OUTPUT): Use $SHELL.
(AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Likewise.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Don't need backticks. This is a
performance enhancement for about a 5% reduction in the runtime of
the generated configure script.
* config.guess: Recognise armv[234][lb] types (ie. `armv*').
1999-01-12 Scott Bambrough <scottb@corelcomputer.com>
* config.sub: Recognize armv[234][lb] types (ie. `armv*'). Add
alias for the NetWinder; set company to `corel'.

when $CXXCPP is overridden in the supervisory shell. Contributed
by Michael Schoene <mrs@mlc.de>.
* config.guess: Detect Rhapsody on PowerPC and other machines.
Contributed by Wilfredo Sanchez <wsanchez@apple.com>.
* config.sub: Add rhapsody and openstep aliases.
* autoconf.texi: Document AC_CACHE_LOAD and AC_CACHE_SAVE. Explain
how AC_CACHE_SAVE can be used as a means of syncing the cache to
disk prior to doing something potentially fatal in configure.
* autoreconf.sh: Support several automake command line options,
and run aclocal and automake when needed. Also, create stamp files
just like automake's Makefiles would do for config headers.
Additional contributions from Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG_FORTRAN77): Remove [] (i.e. the m4 quotes)
since it was confusing the testsuite. Also make `f77' the default
for FC, otherwise the testsuite fails.
* autoconf.texi (Fortran 77 Compiler Characteristics): Added new
node documenting the new AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS macro.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): New macro to determine
the linker flags (e.g. `-L' and `-l') for the Fortran 77 intrinsic
and run-time libraries.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES): New macro. Detects the
types of formal arguments to select(). Contributed by Lars Hecking
<lhecking@nmrc.ucc.ie>.
* acconfig.h (SELECT_TYPE_ARG1): Add.
(SELECT_TYPE_ARG234): Likewise.
(SELECT_TYPE_ARG5): Likewise.
* autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Documented third argument to
AC_DEFINE.
* autoheader.m4 (AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): Generate `verbatim'
assignment if third argument given.
(AC_DEFINE): Likewise.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFINE): Handle case where $# is 3.
(AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Echo $verbatim if not empty.
* acconfig.h (FC_NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O): Add to complete the Fortran
77 support.
Tue Sep 8 14:06:04 1998 Matthew D. Langston <langston@SLAC.Stanford.EDU>
* acgeneral.m4: Make the following macros Fortran 77 aware
(i.e. conditionalize whether to `#include "confdefs.h"', etc.):
(AC_TRY_COMPILE)
(AC_TRY_LINK)
(AC_CHECK_LIB)
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG_FORTRAN77): Rename `AC_LANG_FORTRAN' to
`AC_LANG_FORTRAN77'. Change the Fortran 77 language macro from
`FORTRAN' to `FORTRAN77'.
(AC_LANG_RESTORE): Change the Fortran 77 language macro from
`FORTRAN' to `FORTRAN77'
* autoconf.texi: Updated Fortran 77 documentation, particularly
for `AC_TRY_COMPILE', `AC_TRY_LINK' and `AC_CHECK_LIB'.
Thu Sep 3 09:34:39 1998 Matthew D. Langston <langston@SLAC.Stanford.EDU>
* autoconf.texi: Added Fortran 77 documentation.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_FC): New macro. Determine a Fortran
