./devel/automake, GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.18, Package name: automake-1.18, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Automake is an experimental Makefile generator. It was inspired by
the 4.4BSD make and include files, but aims to be portable and to
conform to the GNU standards for Makefile variables and targets.

Automake assumes the project uses autoconf. If you want automatic
dependency tracking support, the use of GNU make is also required.

Log message: automake: update to 1.18. Based on wip/automake by Frédéric Fauberteau. New in 1.18 (2025-05-25): * New features added - Default tar format is now ustar, mainly to support longer filenames; the tar-v7 and other explicit options to force a particular tar format are unchanged and still override the default. (bug#74847) - The mdate-sh auxiliary script generally used with Texinfo now uses SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, if set, instead of the source file's mtime. (bug#77805) - New option dist-bzip3 for bzip3 compression of distributions. (bug#73795) - New option --stderr-prefix for tap-driver.sh, to prefix each line of stderr from a test script with a given string. (bug#72536) - Support for Algol 68 added, based on the GNU Algol 68 compiler. (bug#75807) * Bugs fixed - Do not make Perl warnings fatal, per Perl's recommendation. (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2025-01/msg00003.html) - Avoid Perl 5.41.8+ precedence warning for use of !!. (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2025-01/msg00000.html) - a Perl path containing whitespace now emits a warning instead of an error, so ./configure PERL='/usr/bin/env perl' can work. (bug#74453) - The py-compile script once again does nothing (successfully) if the PYTHON environment variable is set to ":", or anything that isn't a Python interpreter (according to $PYTHON -V). Exception: if PYTHON is set to "false", do nothing but exit unsuccessfully, also to match previous behavior. (bug#74434) - The no-dist-built-sources Automake option now operates (hopefully) as intended, i.e., omits the dependency on $(BUILT_SOURCES) for the distdir target. (bug#69908) - Only warn about install.sh being found, instead of it being a fatal error. (bug#19964) - The compile script is more robust to Windows configurations; specifically, avoids double-path translation on MSYS. (bug#75939) - The test infrastructure sets the CONFIG_SITE environment variable to /dev/null, to avoid the local system's Autoconf site defaults from breaking the test environment. (bug#76622) - AM_SILENT_RULES once again always ends with a newline. (bug#72267) - AM_SANITY_CHECK now outputs "no" on failure, so that a complete line is written to stdout before the error message is written to stderr. (bug#76448) * Miscellaneous changes - Only require the presence of an ABOUT-NLS file at the 'gnits' strictness level. (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2024-10/msg00006.html) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New in 1.17 (2024-07-11): * New features added - AM_PATH_PYTHON will, after checking "python", prefer any Python 3 version (latest versions checked first) over any Python 2 version. If a specific version of Python 2 is still needed, the $PYTHON variable should be set beforehand. - AM_PATH_PYTHON will also search for Python versions 3.20 through 3.10. It previously searched for 3.9 through 3.0. (bug#53530) - RANLIB may be overridden on a per-target basis. - AM_TEXI2FLAGS may be defined to pass extra flags to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF. - New option "posix" to emit the special target .POSIX for make. (bug#55025, bug#67891) - Systems with non-POSIX "rm -f" behavior are now supported, and the prior intent to drop support for them has been reversed. The ACCEPT_INFERIOR_RM_PROGRAM setting no longer exists. (bug#10828) - Variables using escaped \# will trigger portability warnings, but be retained when appended. GNU Make & BSD Makes are known to support it. (bug#7610) - GNU Make's default pattern rules for RCS and SCCS are disabled, for speed and debugging. (.SUFFIXES was already cleared.) (bug#64743) - For Texinfo documents, if a .texi.in file exists, but no .texi, the .texi.in will be read. Texinfo source files need not be present at all, and if present, need not contain @setfilename. Then the file name as given in the Makefile.am will be used. If @setfilename is present, it should be the basename of the Texinfo file, extended with .info. (bug#54063) - aclocal has a new option --aclocal-path to override $ACLOCAL_PATH. (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2022-01/msg00029.html) - The missing script also supports autoreconf, autogen, and perl. (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2015-08/msg00000.html) - test-suite.log now contains basic system information, and the console message about bug reporting on failure has a bit more detail. (bug#68746, bug#71421) - When using the (default) "parallel" test driver, you can now omit the output of skipped tests from test-suite.log by defining the variable IGNORE_SKIPPED_LOGS to a non-empty value. (bug#71422) * Bugs fixed - Generated file timestamp checks handle filesystems with subsecond timestamp granularity dynamically, greatly speeding up the sleep done by AC_OUTPUT when generating config.status (all packages) and Automake's make check. However, this subsecond-mtime support requires an autom4te from Autoconf 2.72 or later (or random test failures and other timing problems may ensue), as well as a Perl, sleep program, make program, and filesystem that all support subsecond resolution; otherwise, we fall back to a two-second granularity, not even testing the (common) 1s case since that would induce a 2s delay for all configure scripts in all packages on all systems that don't support subsecond mtimes. When everything is supported, a line "Features: subsecond-mtime" is now printed by automake --version and autom4te --version. To override this check and delay, e.g. to use 1 second: am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution=1 export am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution (commit 720a11531, https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-commit/2022-02/msg00009.html then bug#60808, bug#64756, bug#67670, bug#68808, bug#71652, history reviewed in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2024-06/msg00054.html and more info in surrounding threads.) - The default value of $ARFLAGS is now "cr" instead of \ "cru", to better support deterministic builds. (bug#20082) - Automake's make dist now uses -9 instead of --best with gzip, because Alpine gzip does not support --best. Also, GZIP_ENV is used only for compression, not decompression, because of the same system. (bug#68151) - Dependency files are now empty, instead of "# dummy", for speed. (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2022-05/msg00006.html) - Compiling Python modules with Python 3.5+ uses multiple optimization levels. (bug#38043) - If the Python installation "scheme" is set to posix_local (Debian), it is reset to either deb_system (if the prefix = /usr), or posix_prefix (otherwise). (bug#54412, bug#64837) - As a result of the Python scheme change, the installation directory for Python files again defaults to "site-packages" under the usual installation prefix, even on systems (generally Debian-based) that would normally use the "dist-packages" subdirectory under /usr/local. - When compiling Emacs Lisp files, emacs is run with --no-site-file to disable user config files that might hang or access the terminal; and -Q is not used, since its support and behavior varies. (bug#58102) - Emacs Lisp compilations respect silent make output. - Automake no longer incorrectly warns that the POSIX make variables $(*D) and the like are non-POSIX. Unfortunately, the make implementations which do not correctly implement all the POSIX variables are not detected, but this seems to have little impact in practice. (bug#9587) - Pass libtool tags OBJC and OBJCXX for the respective languages. (bug#67539) - distcleancheck ignores "silly rename" files (.nfs* .smb* .__afs*) that can show up on network file systems. (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2022-09/msg00002.html) - Pass any options given to AM_PROG_LEX on to AC_PROG_LEX. (bug#65600, bug#65730) - aclocal: recognize ; as path separator on OS/2 and Windows. (bug#71534) - Hash iterations with external effects now consistently sort keys. (bug#25629, bug#46744) - tests: avoid some declaration conflicts for lex et al. on SunOS. (bug#34151 and others) - tests: declare yyparse before use and use (void) parameter lists instead of (), to placate C23. (bug#71425) - Typos in code and other doc fixes. (bug#68003, bug#68004, et al.) * Obsolescence: - py-compile no longer supports Python 0.x or 1.x versions. Python 2.0, released in 2000, is currently the minimum required version.

Log message: automake: update to 1.16.5. New in 1.16.5: * Bugs fixed - PYTHON_PREFIX and PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX are now set according to Python's sys.* values only if the new configure option --with-python-sys-prefix is specified. Otherwise, GNU default values are used, as in the past. (The change in 1.16.3 was too incompatible.) - consistently depend on install-libLTLIBRARIES. * Distribution - use const for yyerror declaration in bison/yacc tests.
