Use better wording to talk about AC_PROG_MKDIR_P's thread-safety. Don't use the term "thread-safe" to talk about mkdir race conditions, since the problem is more a process than a thread issue. Problem reported by Stepan Kasal in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2006-05/msg00088.html * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MKDIR_P): Use code that mimics the test for 'install' more closely. Look at MKDIR_P first. Look in the PATH, and at /opt/sfw/bin. Look for a 'gmkdir' program as well (Solaris 10 /opt/sfw/bin/gmkdir). Don't bother to try mkdir -p, since we already check mkdir --version; just look at the version number. (There's no easy way to check for race-free implementations.) * tests/tools.at (autoconf: subdirectories): Adjust to above changes, since MKDIR_P now might end in "/mkdir -p". |

-*- text -*- Autoconf Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the operating system features that the package can use, in the form of M4 macro calls. Producing configuration scripts using Autoconf requires GNU M4 and Perl. You must install GNU M4 (version 1.4.3 or later) and Perl (5.005_03 or later) before configuring Autoconf, so that Autoconf's configure script can find them. The configuration scripts produced by Autoconf are self-contained, so their users do not need to have Autoconf (or GNU M4, Perl, etc.). You can get GNU M4 1.4.3 here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.3.tar.gz The file INSTALL should be distributed with packages that use Autoconf-generated configure scripts and Makefiles that conform to the GNU coding standards. The package's README can just give an overview of the package, where to report bugs, and a pointer to INSTALL for instructions on compilation and installation. This removes the need to maintain many similar sets of installation instructions. Be sure to read BUGS (especially if this version is not an official release) and INSTALL. Mail suggestions to autoconf@gnu.org, report bugs to bug-autoconf@gnu.org, and submit patches to autoconf-patches@gnu.org. Always include the Autoconf version number, which you can get by running `autoconf --version'. Archives of bug-autoconf@gnu.org can be found in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/>, and similarly for the other mailing lists. ----- Copyright (C) 1992, 1993, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
