Gnus/5.1002 (Gnus v5.10.2) Emacs/21.3 (gnu/linux) |
This is our candidate release for Autoconf 2.58. We plan to release
it soon, so that Automake 1.8 can be released, hence Libtool 1.6, so
that GNU M4 2.0 can be shipped, enabling Autoconf 2.60 ;)
Unless problems are found next week, 2.58 should be released by the
end of the month. Please, test it thoroughly.
Akim, Alexandre, Jim, Paul, and Tom.

NEWS
* Major changes in Autoconf 2.57g -*- outline -*-
** autoreconf and auxiliary directory
Autoreconf creates the auxiliary directory if needed. This is
especially useful for initial "bootstrapping" of fresh CVS checkouts.
** AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR
Use this macro to declare the directory for local m4 macros for aclocal.
** New macros
AC_LANG_WERROR
** AC_LIBOBJS
No longer includes twice the same file in LIBOBJS if invoked
multiple times.
ChangeLog entries:
**********************************************************************
ChangeLog
**********************************************************************
2003-10-23 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
Version 2.57g.
* config/config.guess, config/config.sub: Upgrade from masters.
2003-10-23 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_SRCEXT): Functions using
AC_COMPILE_IFELSE that use break skip the clean up. So do it by
hand...
2003-10-23 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LINK_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE):
Don't forget to remove conftest.err.
2003-10-23 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ): Don't insert twice the
same object file in $LIBOBJS.
Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz & Derek Robert Price.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Functions): Adjust.
2003-10-20 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_TR_SH_PREPARE, _AS_TR_CPP_PREPARE):
Use 'eval', so that the resulting configure scripts work even if
the current directory has a weird file name like
'y%s+%pp%;address@hidden'.
2003-10-20 Daniel Jacobowitz <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (AC_LANG_WERROR): New macro.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, _AC_PREPROC_IFELSE)
(_AC_LINK_IFELSE): Check the werror flag.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Compiler Characteristics): Document
AC_LANG_WERROR.
* NEWS: Mention it.
2003-10-20 Daniel Jacobowitz <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (AC_NO_EXECUTABLES): Override
_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT to attempt a link. If linking fails,
override AC_LINK_IFELSE.
2003-10-15 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_UNSET_PREPARE): Work around a bug in
pdksh 5.2.14. Bug reported by Ralf Corsepius.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention the Korn shell and pdksh.
Mention /usr/dt/bin/dtksh on Solaris.
(Shell Substitutions): Warn about $((...)).
(Parentheses): New section.
2003-10-15 Kevin Ryde <address@hidden>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add @prindex for exit.
Add putenv and unsetenv. Add sysconf _SC_PAGE_SIZE.
2003-10-13 Nathanael Nerode <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_FORK): Trivial fix for vfork
cross test.
2003-10-11 Steven G. Johnson <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Use the new official
name for the GNU Fortran 95+ compiler, 'gfortran', not 'g95'.
2003-10-10 Andreas Schwab <address@hidden>
* bin/autoheader.in: Avoid empty first line in --version and
--help output.
* bin/ifnames.in: Likewise.
2003-10-09 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Don't assume -j is solo.
Issue a more-informative diagnostic.
Problems reported by Eric Sunshine.
2003-10-08 Steven G. Johnson <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Omit quoted
-mGLOB_options_string stuff for Intel ifc, which can cause
_AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to fail. Use (faster) case for
pattern-matching instead of grep.
2003-10-08 Steven G. Johnson <address@hidden>
* doc/autoconf.texi: Document new FC Fortran macros.
2003-10-08 Gary V. Vaughan <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR): Stub out a macro
that future autopoint/aclocal/automake/autoreconf will be able
to trace to find where to install local m4 macros.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Input): Document it.
* NEWS: Updated.
2003-10-06 Gary V. Vaughan <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Add
-lcrtbegin.o to list of ignored flags and fix underquoting of
-lcrt[01].o.
2003-10-04 Steven G. Johnson <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_G): Use language-specific
cache variable instead of $G77 to decide whether to include -O2,
since $G77 is specific to Fortran 77.
2003-10-03 Steven G. Johnson <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Support Absoft "-f
free" flag. Re-order flags tested into rough order of popularity.
2003-10-03 Steven G. Johnson <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_FC): Reverse the order of the
arguments so that it can be used with syntax identical to
AC_PROG_F77, and so that we can more easily decide to
remove/deprecate the DIALECT optional argument in the future if it
proves troublesome.
(AC_FC_FREEFORM): Exit 77 upon failure to fix test suite for
non-freeform-supporting compilers. Document freeform flags.
2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* configure.ac: Look for emacs, not macs.
Reported by Eric Sunshine.
2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autom4te.in (Autoreconf-preselections): Trace AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
* bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Create the
AUX_DIR if needed, for sake of automake --add-missing etc.
Suggested by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* configure.ac: Quotation and formatting changes.
(EMACS): Don't set it if it is not recent enough to support
autoconf-mode.el.
From Eric Sunshine.
2003-10-02 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/ifnames.in (&scan_file): Skip C++ comments.

Fix misspelling of HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_BLOCKS.
