Tue Dec 10 19:38:59 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CACHE_SAVE): Use grep to prevent overflowing
HP-UX 9.05 /bin/sh buffer in case statement. From Eric Backus

Mon Dec 9 23:39:17 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Add a semicolon between
shell variable assignments; the evaluation order varies between
implementations.
Tue Nov 26 13:00:28 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>
* Version 2.12.
Wed Nov 20 13:00:21 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>

From Paul Eggert.
* Test release 2.11.1.

is needed to avoid extraneous blank lines.
(AC_CHECK_LIB, AC_HAVE_LIBRARY, AC_COMPILE_CHECK): Remove
extraneous dnl's.
(AC_DIVERSION_CMDS, AC_DIVERSION_ICMDS): New macros.
(AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, AC_OUTPUT): Use them instead of appending to
list macros.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CACHE_SAVE): Handle cache variable values
correctly even if they contain single quote, or are quoted by
the shell. From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>.
(AC_INIT_PREPARE): Set LC_MESSAGES to C if set.
From Hans Olsson <Hans.Olsson@dna.lth.se>.
Set LC_CTYPE to C if set.
From tom@vlsivie.tuwien.ac.AT (Thomas Winder).

Tue Nov 19 10:29:06 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>
* testsuite/autoconf.g/sizeof.exp: Use the v2 macro name.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES, AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Support
creating output files from multiple pieces, concatenated.
Suggested by "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@MIT.EDU>.
(AC_LINK_FILES): If called more than once, concatenate the
arguments. From Roland McGrath.
(AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Likewise.
(AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): New macro. Suggested by
Tom Tromey <tromey@creche.cygnus.com>.
(AC_OUTPUT): Use the lists it sets.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE): Fail if linking fails, like
AC_TRY_LINK.
(AC_TRY_RUN): Don't require AC_C_CROSS.
(AC_TRY_COMPILER): New macro.

AC_TRY_COMPILER instead of AC_TRY_LINK.
(AC_PROG_CC_GNU, AC_PROG_CC_G): Split out of AC_PROG_CC.

accurate.
Thu Nov 14 11:15:27 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move initialization of
ac_max_here_lines here from AC_OUTPUT_HEADER.
* autoheader.sh: Take the multiple-include protection back out.
It's not needed for a file that just #defines stuff, and, as Ken
Raeburn pointed out in Apr 1994:
Since you don't make it optional, and you don't give the writer of
configure.in much control over the name of the symbol, it also would
prevent one "config.h" file in a subdirectory from including
"../config.h" as a way to avoid duplicating some common tests.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_WORKS, AC_PROG_CXX_WORKS): Don't try
running a program, just try linking.
(AC_C_CROSS): Make the wording clearer.
Wed Nov 13 10:07:14 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX): Check whether the
compiler works before checking whether it's a GNU compiler.
(AC_FUNC_VFORK): Call _exit after perror.
(AC_PATH_XTRA): Go back to using -R, as setting an env var as part
of CC doesn't get eval'd correctly to actually work.
Directly test whether a space is needed after -R.
Don't add "-L" to LDFLAGS if $x_libraries is empty.
(AC_FUNC_STRFTIME): Check for it in -lintl only if it's not in the
normal libraries.
* Test release 2.10.3.
* testsuite/Makefile.in (dejacheck): New target, suggested by Tom
Tromey <tromey@creche.cygnus.com>.
(check): Depend on dejacheck.
Tue Nov 12 00:06:14 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Split the list of sed commands in
conftest.subs into multiple files named conftest.s[1-9][0-9]*.
Create a pipeline of sed commands that use these files, then delete
the temporary files. From John W. Eaton <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu>.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_AIX, AC_MINIX): Remove warnings about AC_TRY_LINK.
These macros don't change the linkage options.
* Test release 2.10.2.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX) [GCC]: Use -O2 instead
of -O. Suggested by fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish).
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Support passing
AC_CONFIG_HEADER a value containing shell variables. Suggested by
Markku Savela <msa@msa.tte.vtt.fi> and Julian Onions
<j.onions@nexor.co.uk>.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE, AC_TRY_LINK, AC_TRY_COMPILE,
AC_TRY_CPP): Show the test program in config.log if the test fails.
From Karl Berry <karl@cs.umb.edu>.
* testsuite/config/unix.exp: Run the configure script as "./script"
in case the user doesn't have "." in their PATH.
Mon Nov 11 18:02:58 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK): Deal with smart
compilers that know that an unused function doesn't have to be
linked in: call the function directly from main().
(Removing a legacy from when they tried to run the code, I think-djm.)
From fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish).
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Rename ac_save_LIBS to avoid
a clash with AC_CHECK_LIB.
From Jim Meyering <meyering@asic.sc.ti.com>.
(AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_MMAP, AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_WAIT3,
AC_FUNC_STRCOLL, AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Rename cache variables to avoid
wrong results if someone calls AC_CHECK_FUNC for these functions.
* autoheader.sh: Don't cmp with config.h.in if it doesn't exist yet.
Don't frob lines 1-@TOP@ or @BOTTOM@-end of acconfig.h's.
Accept TAB as well as SPC after #undef in acconfig.h's.
Sat Nov 9 01:54:04 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>
* Test release 2.10.1.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_WORKS, AC_PROG_CXX_WORKS): New macros
adapted from Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE): Split out of AC_TRY_RUN.
(AC_TRY_LINK): Check that the executable exists after linking.
(AC_EGREP_CPP): Disable m4 quote chars around egrep, so [] in regexps

(AC_CHECK_PROG, AC_PATH_PROG): Add a dummy variable to force word
splitting on the path.

It turns out it's a separate issue, for GNU grep.
Replace the test program with a new version from Mike Haertel.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CACHE_SAVE): Accept the HP-UX sh 'set' output
format. From Marcus Daniels <marcus@sysc.pdx.edu>.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_CHECKING, AC_CHECKING): Write a message to
config.log also. From "T.E.Dickey" <dickey@clark.net>.
(AC_CHECK_LIB, AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Replace use of
tr with sed, to avoid a bug in the AIX 4.1.3.0 tr reported by
Alain KNAFF <Alain.Knaff@imag.fr>. He says that version of
tr interprets \055 as a range specifier, like an unquoted -.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET, AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT,
AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT): Ditto.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETPGRP): New macro.

Check system-dependent libs before system-independent ones.
Check for more system-dependent libs.
From Karl Berry.
Use AC_CHECK_FUNC in the system-dependent libs tests.
From Larry Schwimmer <rosebud@cyclone.stanford.edu>.
Wart removal: Don't require AC_ISC_POSIX.
(AC_ISC_POSIX): Require AC_PROG_CC, since it uses $GCC.
From gvran@uddeborg.pp.se.
Don't blather about being called before AC_TRY_LINK,
which is now called in AC_PROG_CC. Don't encourage using this macro.
* acconfig.h (X_DISPLAY_MISSING): Add entry.
Fri Nov 8 16:02:08 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_CPP): Use "" instead of '' when setting
ac_try; we need one level of expansion there for $ac_cpp, then

Rearrange logic: do no tests if $with_x=no; make incl and lib
tests independent, and distinguish unset from empty.
* autoconf.sh (undefined macro check): \ sed \s inside "". If
grep $name in $infile misses, give error message that there must
be an Autoconf bug.
Tue Dec 19 10:49:20 1995 David J. MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>
