* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Don't remove the CONFIG_HEADERS
unconditionaly: it breaks the `config.h has not changed' trick.
1999-09-20 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
* autoheader.sh: Fix the tr invocation.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Improve configure's --help.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Change the root of filenames of
config.status from $conftest to $confstat.
The previous patch to make config.status reentrant was wrong,
because it changed some `conftest' that are used by configure into
`$conftest', while it was for config.status only. To avoid
another confusion like this, all the filenames of config.status
should be `$confstat*', and those of configure should be
`conftest*'.
(AC_OUTPUT): Rename the uses of `ac_file' for the sed fragments as
`ac_sed_frag'.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): This macro used to open the here
documents that configure uses to generate config.status, included
that of the submacros. Now, it no longer handles the here
documents for its subroutines (it was far to hard to track).
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Open and close your here documents to
$CONFIG_STATUS.
(AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Likewise.
(AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Likewise.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Move $ac_vpsub and $extrasub
from the AC_SUBST substitutions (i.e., that of @SHELL@ etc.) to
the specific section (that of @srcdir@ etc.).
Now the ``general substitution'' section is absolutely uniform.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_SUBST): Change sed call from `s%@from@%to%g'
into `s%@from@%to%;t t'.
(AC_SUBST_FILE): Likewise.
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Optimize the sed scripts by branching if there
are no `@' on the line. Impressive speed up.
* Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Add THANKS.
* THANKS: New file.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FILE): Use ifset.
(AC_CHECK_FUNC): Updated to use AC_VAR_*, and AC_CACHE_CHECK.
(AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Likewise.
(AC_CACHE_CHECK): Use AC_MSG_RESULT_UNQUOTED.
(AC_MSG_RESULT_UNQUOTED): New macro.
use `echo` followed by a non-blank, within quotes.
* autoheader.sh (syms): Likewise.
* configure: Rebuilt.
Reported by Christian Krone <krischan@sql.de>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_HELP_STRING): Rewrite in m4. Have m4 work, and
give a break to sh.
(_AC_FOREACH): Be careful not to evaluate the arguments. A loop
over *quoted* macro names should loop over the macro names, not
upon their expansion.
(_AC_COMMATIZE): Also swallow end of lines.
* autoconf.texi (Pretty Help Strings): Updated to reflect the
changes.
1999-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (ifset): New helpy tiny macro.
(AC_OUTPUT): Improved --help of config.status.
(AC_OUTPUT): Remove inconditionaly all the files to be updated.
(AC_OUTPUT): Use pid to define the temporary file names in order
to allow parallel builds.
* autoconf.sh: Substitute also /@BKL@/[/ /@BKR@/]/ /@DLR@/$/ so
that these characters are more easily accessible from m4 without
turning changequote juggling into a nightmare.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_WRAP): New macro, for word wrapping.
* autoconf.texi: Update the direntry for more modern Texinfos.
Add pointer to configure and config.status.
Remove the dots from the menus: horizontal space is precious.
(Invoking config.status): More traditional presentation of the options.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_ACVERSION): Bump to 2.14.1 to differenciate the
experimental branch from the main trunk.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_FOREACH_COMMA): New macro, to perform m4 loops
on m4 lists (i.e., list='(item_1, item_2, ..., item_n)').
(AC_FOREACH): New macro, to perform m4 loops on shell lists (i.e.,
list='item_1 item_2 ... item_n').
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUN): Now accept two other optionnal
parameters: the name of the macro which is specialized here, and
the name of the first argument. For instance `AC_CHECK_FNMATCH'
should be declared as specializing `AC_CHECK_FUNC' for `fnmatch'
as first argument.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FILES): Use AC_FOREACH for looping,
instead of the shell's loop.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR): In addition to transliteration, provide a
mean to specify the valid destination alphabet and a default
character for aliens characters. This is in order to remove
characters such as `+:-' etc. that may appear in file names,
but are not valid for shell variables or #defines.
(AC_TR_DEFINE): New macro, maps anything to a valid uppercase
#define rhs.
(AC_TR_UPCASE_NAME): Replaced by AC_TR_DEFINE. All callers
changed.
(AC_TR_UPCASE_FILE): Likewise.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR_SH): Don't use the generic AC_TR: there is a
difficult problem of quoting between m4 and sh. Use the variable
$ac_tr_sh to work around this difficulty.
(AC_VAR_TEST_SET): New macro, which tests if a variable is set.
(AC_VAR_IF_SET): New `ifelse' macro.
(AC_CACHE_VAL): Use AC_VAR_IF_SET.
(AC_INIT_NOTICE): Define $ac_tr_sh.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FILE): Converted to use AC_TR and AC_VAR
families.
* acgeneral.m4: Fixed the regular expressions: `$' shall not be
portably in a sed \(\) group.
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).
