Tue Dec 21 06:27:20 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Reverted my change to add more resource file extensions.  It would
          take template changes to the gnuace, make and nmake project types
          to do it right and I don't have the time at this point.

Mon Dec 20 13:49:42 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * config/mfc.mpb:

          Fixed the AFX macro.  It was _AFX_DLL and should have been
          _AFXDLL.

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Added more resource file extensions.

Mon Dec 13 10:27:04 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Added a warning when an mpc file is processed, but no output
          project file will be created.  If it is an implicit project, the
          message is only informational.

        * templates/automake.mpd:

          Made the -stamp file go to the output directory of the generated
          files.  Also rearranged the libs, lit_libs and pure_libs to be
          consistent with other project types.

        * templates/make.mpd:
        * templates/makedll.mpt:

          Modifications to add a 'targetoutdir' template variable which
          determines the output location of object files, exes and
          libraries.  By default, this template variable is not set and does
          not affect anything.  Also rearranged the libs, lit_libs and
          pure_libs to be consistent with other project types.

        * templates/bmake.mpd:
        * templates/em3vcp.mpd:
        * templates/nmake.mpd:
        * templates/sle.mpd:
        * templates/va4icc.mpd:
        * templates/vc6dsp.mpd:
        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Rearranged the libs, lit_libs and pure_libs to be consistent with
          other project types.  The order in which they are added to the
          project is now libs, lit_libs and then pure_libs.

Mon Dec  6 09:39:01 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * config/bison.mpb:
        * config/flex.mpb:
        * config/lex.mpb:
        * config/yacc.mpb:

          Added more possible output extensions.

        * README:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Added the ability to get the output file by specific type without
          an extension.  See the README for more detail.

        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Fixed a bug where exclude blocks always excluded the listing even
          if project types were listed and did not match the current project
          type.  As a result, the exclude block works just as any other
          scope if the project type does not match the excluded project
          types.

Wed Dec  1 19:28:19 2004  Marek Brudka  <mbrudka@aster.pl>

        * USAGE (Module):
        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm (Module):
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm (Module):
        * modules/Options.pm (Module):
        * modules/FeatureParser.pm (Module):
        * modules/Driver.pm (Module):
        * modules/Creator.pm (Module):

        Added command line option  '-features'. Thanks for Kacper Reutt for
        the patch.

Mon Nov 29 11:24:05 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd:

          Added top, macros and local markers.  It already had a bottom
          marker.

Thu Nov 25 06:55:36 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/MakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/NMakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Provide target translation to avoid collisions between directory
          names and target names.  Incidentally Borland Make does not have
          this problem, it is able to distinguish between directories and
          targets.  Thanks to Steve Huston <shuston@riverace.com> for
          bringing this to my attention.

        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Ensure that static libraries and import libraries got to 'libout'
          regardless of whether 'dllout' is set or not.  Thanks to Marek
          Brudka <mbrudka@elka.pw.edu.pl> for reporting this.

Wed Nov 24 08:17:01 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Fixed a bug where the directory portion would not contain a
          trailing slash when using gendir.  This would cause some
          non-existent file to be added automatically.

        * templates/automake.mpd:
        * templates/bmake.mpd:
        * templates/em3vcp.mpd:
        * templates/ghs.mpd:
        * templates/make.mpd:
        * templates/nmake.mpd:
        * templates/vc6dsp.mpd:
        * templates/vc7.mpd:
        * templates/vc7csharp.mpd:
        * templates/vc7vb.mpd:

          When gendir is used, attempt to automatically make the specified
          directory.

Tue Nov 23 07:52:03 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * config/boost_base.mpb:
        * config/boost_date_time.mpb:
        * config/boost_filesystem.mpb:
        * config/boost_prg_exec_monitor.mpb:
        * config/boost_regex.mpb:
        * config/boost_signals.mpb:
        * config/boost_test_exec_monitor.mpb:
        * config/boost_thread.mpb:
        * config/boost_unit_test_framework.mpb:

          Added initial support for boost.

        * modules/AutomakeProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/WorkspaceHelper.pm:
        * templates/automake.mpd:

          Fixed a bug dealing with the output_option of a custom build
          definition.  Added support for library versioning and adding the
          includedir setting.

Fri Nov 19 07:06:11 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/BMakeProjectCreator.pm:

          Added '.' to the directories for cppdir and rcdir.  At least one
          directory is always necessary due to the way that the template is
          set up.

        * templates/bmake.mpd:

          Reverted Johnny's previous change as the CPPDIR and RESDIR
          settings always need to be there since they are used by the
          automatic targets in the template (regardless of whether there are
          cpp and rc files or not).

          Also, added a dummy all target if there is no exe or lib.

Fri Nov 19 10:05:12 UTC 2004  Johnny Willemsen  <jwillemsen@remedy.nl>

        * templates/bmake.mpd:
          Only generate CPPDIR when cppdir is defined, also only generate
          RESDIR when rcdir is defined

Thu Nov 18 11:56:57 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:

          Document the change to 'dependent'.  It now represents the command
          upon which generated files are dependent.

        * templates/em3vcp.mpd:
        * templates/make.mpd:
        * templates/vc6dsp.mpd:
        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Changed to use the new form of 'dependent'.

        * templates/makedll.mpt:

          Added initial support for the NCC compiler.

Fri Nov 12 18:17:20 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd: Added a 'bottom' marker.

Thu Nov 11 10:17:43 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Added a new construct (similar to specific) which can only be used
          with component lists (Source_Files, Header_Files, etc.).  The
          construct is called 'conditional' and can be used to conditionally
          add or exclude files based on project type.  See the README for
          more detail.

Tue Nov  9 12:19:43 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Fixed a bug where generated files that are defaulted may become
          "invisible" because of automatic grouping of other non-generated
          files of the same type (inline, header, etc.).

Fri Nov  5 13:42:11 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/bmake.mpd:

          Added a template variable called debug_macros.  The contents of
          this variable is included into the compile flags for a debug build
          only.  Also, fixed the realclean target to check for a value in
          GENERATED_DIRTY before attempting to delete it.

Tue Nov  2 09:43:38 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * USAGE:

          Added a section to document MPC related environment variables.

        * modules/Options.pm:

          If the argument to -include is a relative path, prepend the
          current working directory to the path.  Also, removed the
          deprecated -static_only option.

Sun Oct 31 15:40:12 UTC 2004  Johnny Willemsen  <jwillemsen@remedy.nl>

        * templates/cbx.mpd:
          Just exclude the complete Template_Files folder instead of all files
          individually

Fri Oct 29 11:15:12 UTC 2004  Johnny Willemsen  <jwillemsen@remedy.nl>

        * templates/cbx.mpd:
          Set the page size to 4096 by default in a debug build

Fri Oct 29 09:17:12 UTC 2004  Johnny Willemsen  <jwillemsen@remedy.nl>

        * templates/cbx.mpd:
          Exclude template files from build in MinGW and GCC

Thu Oct 28 06:23:12 UTC 2004  Johnny Willemsen  <jwillemsen@remedy.nl>

        * templates/cbx.mpd:
          Added needed compiler options and generate the needed include paths
          in the bcc32 part, removed generate of $(BCB) includes, these are
          not needed.

Mon Oct 25 12:18:27 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/BMakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/NMakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Added the 'generated' target.  This target, which exists in the
          other make based projects, will generate all generated source
          files.

        * templates/automake.mpd:

          Removed unnecessary uses of <%foreach%>.

        * templates/bmake.mpd:

          Corrected the precompiled header support, fixed the pch_postrule
          code and added the 'generated' target.

        * templates/ghs.mpd:

          Changed 'cat' and 'mv -f' to be template variables to better
          support ghs on Windows.

        * templates/make.mpd:

          Force object files to be built in the same directory as the source
          files.  This corresponds to the way dependencies are generated by
          makedepend and depgen.pl.

        * templates/nmake.mpd:

          Moved many targets and variable assignments outside of the
          platform and configurations <%foreach%> sections to avoid
          repetition within the generated makefile.

          Also added the 'generated' target.

        * templates/nmakedll.mpt:

          Added a missing slash to the W3 option under the "Static Release"
          section.

Fri Oct 22 08:55:56 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:
        * modules/Creator.pm:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Added the ability to specify an "else" clause to a "specific"
          section.

        * config/openssl.mpb:
        * config/qt.mpb:
        * config/zlib.mpb:

          Utilize the new "else" clause.

        * config/xerces.mpb:

          Added a base project for xerces.

Mon Oct 18 18:03:28 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm: When collecting the list of
          subdirectories, maintain dependency order so a subdirectory
          required before the current directory's projects gets built
          in the correct order.

Mon Oct 18 11:42:28 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * config/openssl.mpb: Added automake to the set of targets that
          get lit_libs and includes adjusted.

Mon Oct 18 08:09:59 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Changed the defaulting behavior for Template_Files.  If a template
          file resulted from generation, it used to always be added (like
          source files).  Now, it will only be added if Template_Files is
          not supplied (defaulted).

Thu Oct  7 16:44:29 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm: Changed the library relocator
          adjustment so it doesn't add the $top_builddir relativity to
          libraries being built in the same directory. This allows the
          automake/make dependencies to work correctly and have things
          built in the right order.

Thu Oct  7 13:06:54 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/EM3ProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/NMakeProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/VC6ProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/VC7ProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/WinVersionTranslator.pm:
        * templates/em3vcp.mpd:
        * templates/nmake.mpd:
        * templates/vc6dsp.mpd:
        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Added a windows version translator to deal with versions that
          contain letters and multiple decimal points.  See the comment in
          WinVersionTranslator for more details.

Thu Oct  7 13:03:28 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm: Fixed the library location
          adjuster to adjust more than one library on a line.

Wed Oct  6 11:35:48 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * clone_build_tree.pl:

          Added a description of what this script does to the usage.

        * modules/GHSProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/GHSWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * templates/ghs.mpd:
        * templates/ghscommon.mpt:
        * templates/ghsdll.mpt:
        * templates/ghsdllexe.mpt:
        * templates/ghslib.mpt:
        * templates/ghslibexe.mpt:

          Increased the support for Green Hills Builder.  It still isn't
          complete as I have only tested it for Integrity.  I will need to
          test it for different platforms such as Solaris and Windows.

          Due to the way that the builder works, the -hierarchy option does
          not work and will never work with the ghs project type.

Tue Oct  5 10:21:20 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/VC71ProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/VC7ProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/VC8ProjectCreator.pm:
        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          For vc7 and vc71, set the ForceConformanceInForLoopScope to TRUE.
          For vc8, that setting is deprecated so we do not set it at all.

Tue Oct  5 08:53:10 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * config/rpc.mpb:

          Modified to use source_pre_extension instead of just
          source_outputext.

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Fixed a bug where a generated file (on Windows only) would not be
          recognized as already added to the list of files.

        * README:
        * modules/TemplateParser.pm:
        * templates/automake.mpd:
        * templates/bmake.mpd:
        * templates/em3vcp.mpd:
        * templates/make.mpd:
        * templates/nmake.mpd:
        * templates/vc6dsp.mpd:
        * templates/vc7.mpd:
        * templates/vc7csharp.mpd:
        * templates/vc7vb.mpd:

          Added the ability to add to 'postcommand' within the scope of a
          custom section (such as IDL_Files, RPC_Files, etc.)  In the
          process of doing this, I fixed a couple of bugs in
          TemplateParser.pm:

          1) If flag_overrides was used in an <%if()%> and the closing
             parenthesis were left off, it would not be recognized as an
             error but wouldn't give the expected output.
          2) If pseudo variables were used in a scoped add to commandflags,
             they wouldn't get converted.
          3) If a line contained only a tab and then a <%...%> variable, a
             new line wouldn't be added to the end.

Thu Sep 30 11:19:57 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/Driver.pm:

          Use the diagnostic() method instead of print so that when the
          MPC_SILENT environment variable is set, the messages do not get
          printed.

        * modules/Version.pm:

          Do not print a warning if we are unable to find the beta version,
          just set the beta version to ??.

        * modules/BMakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/NMakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Warn users when options that are used are unnecessary or have no
          effect.

Thu Sep 30 01:26:41 2004  Ossama Othman  <ossama@dre.vanderbilt.edu>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Updated list of files to be cleaned in generated clean-local
          target to match current list used by the MPC generated
          GNUmakefiles.

        * templates/automake.mpd:

          Removed line continuation generation code.  A line continuation
          character was not generated after processing the "libs" list
          despite the fact that "pure_libs" or "lit_libs" may be defined
          as well.  This fix causes all libraries to be listed on one line
          rather than be split up across multiple lines.

Wed Sep 29 06:53:40 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Removed a portion of two regular expessions that were causing perl
          warnings.  Also, switched to use the warning() method instead of
          the perl builtin warn function.

Wed Sep 29 06:40:50 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Allow callers of the get_modified_workspace_name() method to get a
          workspace name that does not have the workspace name attached.

Tue Sep 28 18:33:22 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd: Removed the dllout/libout path additions from
          Mon Sep 27 15:53:18 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>.
          Build all libraries into the same relative path in the build tree
          as the sources exist in the source tree. This change just inserts
          the project's desired library references. The below changes adjust
          the references to contain the relative paths in the build tree.

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm: Changes graciously supplied by Chad
          Elliott to add a get_lib_locations() method. It returns a hash
          reference where the key is a library name (ACE, TAO,
          TAO_PortableServer, etc) and the value will be a relative directory
          from where mwc.pl starts.

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm: When collecting the projects'
          Makefile.<project>.am files together, find all the *_LDADD and
          *_LIBADD tokens that look like lib*.la and insert the path
          to the library starting with $(top_builddir). This effectively
          ignores any dllout/libout directives applied to the libraries
          being referenced (for automake targets). Everything builds into
          the build tree at the same relative location as its sources in
          the source tree.

Tue Sep 28 09:13:57 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/BMakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Borland Make has a maximum line length of roughly 32767.  The
          'all' target could exceed that length given a large amount of
          projects within a single workspace.  In that case, we have to
          create an 'all' target that specifically lists the target commands
          and thereby creating a larger workspace makefile, but working
          around the Borland Make limitation.

Mon Sep 27 19:32:42 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd:

          Removed code that added -I${top_srcdir} and -I${top_builddir}
          to CPPFLAGS.  These should be added by project files if they
          are needed.

Mon Sep 27 19:13:31 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd:

          Changed to omit executable/library building rules if exename,
          sharedname, or staticname is not defined.  This is useful for
          projects that only contain scripts, manpages, IDL files, etc.

Mon Sep 27 19:02:51 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd:

          Define man_MANS or bin_SCRIPTS if man_files or script_files are
          set.

Mon Sep 27 15:53:18 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * modules/TemplateParser.pm (handle_normalize): Add / $ ( ) to the
          characters translated to _ to properly handle full-path names that
          may include variables.

        * templates/automake.mpd: Use the dllout/libout settings for placing
          libraries. The linker input use of lib names always assumes
          libout/lib - this may be too limiting, but not sure how to handle
          it otherwise.

Mon Sep 27 11:56:20 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:

          Document the addition of the <%input_ext%> and <%output_ext%>
          pseudo variables that are available to postcommand.

        * config/bison.mpb:

          Added .yy as a possible input extension.

        * config/flex.mpb:
        * config/lex.mpb:

          Added .ll as a possible input extension.

        * config/global.features:

          By default disable the zzip feature.

        * config/yacc.mpb:

          Added a yacc base project.  Previously it was not possible to
          support yacc, but with the postcommand it is now possible.

        * config/zzip.mpb:

          Added a macro (USE_ZZIP) that will be added only if the zzip
          feature is enabled.

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Multiple bug fixes:

          1) Support #if 0 and c style comments when looking for an entry
             point to determine if the project is an exe or not.
          2) When creating generated file names, we need to remove escape
             sequences on the pre_extension and pre_filename portion.
          3) When removing custom input file extensions, we need to loop
             through all of the possible extensions to ensure that we get
             the right one.
          4) When adding generated files, we need to take into account the
             possibility of a pre_filename.
          5) When adding default generated files, we need to look at all of
             the valid components (except header and inline) to ensure that
             everything that a command generates gets added.

Wed Sep 22 16:27:39 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm: When combining the project
          Makefile.<project>.am files, detect usage of automake conditionals
          bracketing automake targets and emit blank assignments for those
          (i.e. bin_PROGRAMS, lib_LTLIBRARIES, etc.) to have things work
          correctly regardless of the condition test at build time.

Mon Sep 20 11:15:13 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:

          Added documentation about excluding directories and mpc files
          within workspaces.

        * templates/nmake.mpd:

          Added support to the template for generation of nmakefiles that
          contain both Win32 and Win64 targets.  Previously, only one or the
          other could be generated.

Thu Sep 16 09:32:09 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          If an asterisk is used in the exename, sharedname or staticname
          setting, then it (the asterisk) will be replaced with the project
          name.  Thanks to Martin Corino <mcorino@remedy.nl> for suggesting
          this.

Thu Sep 16 07:45:11 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/BMakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/MakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/NMakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Added a CUSTOM_TARGETS macro that will allow users to access
          custom targets that can be generated with the use of the
          'verbatim' clause in mpc files.

        * templates/nmake.mpd:

          Added markers to allow for the use of 'verbatim' with nmake.

Wed Sep 15 11:32:57 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/bmake.mpd:
        * templates/nmake.mpd:

          Modified these templates to work correctly if no exe name, shared
          or static name is specified by the mpc file.

Mon Sep 13 12:52:22 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Fixed a bug where if a custom file is in a directory other than
          '.' and the 'gendir' setting is used to specify that the generated
          output will be in a particular directory, it would be ignored when
          determining if generated files were listed.

        * modules/Creator.pm:
        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          When converting slashes to back slashes (on Windows), only convert
          values when the parameter name does not contain 'flags'.  Some
          custom build executables on Windows require the use of / as
          command switches.

          Added an option, -expand_env, to replace all $() variables
          referenced in MPC with the environment variable equivalent.

        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Converted all slashes to back-slashes to more closely match the
          Windows style.

        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Only set up custom groups (in the IDE view) if there are input
          files that correspond to the custom type.

          Modified the template and template input files to correctly build
          libraries and applications.  Also, added more support for Unicode
          builds.

Wed Sep  1 12:54:06 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Fixed a bug where the toplevel workspace would be created twice in
          the event that the -hierarchy option was used or the subclassed
          workspace creator defined the workspace_per_project method to
          return 1.

        * modules/WorkspaceHelper.pm:

          Added the base class and factory for all WorkspaceHelpers.  It
          will dynamically locate, load and allocate the helper based on the
          workspace creator type.

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Uncommented the unlink() and split the ACE specific portion into a
          helper under ACE_wrappers/bin/MakeProjectCreator/modules.

Tue Aug 31 08:00:20 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/TemplateParser.pm:

          Fixed a bug where setting a scoped assignment would not apply to a
          directory specified within that scope.  For example:

          project {
            Source_Files {
              some_feature = value
              src
            }
          }

          The some_feature setting would not get applied to the files found
          in the src directory.

          Added multi-language support to MPC.  The default language is C++,
          but it now supports C#, Java and Visual Basic.

          An additional bug was fixed in ProjectCreator.pm.  If, in a
          Define_Custom, the automatic keyword was not set or set to zero
          MPC would still automatically add custom files to the project.

Mon Aug 30 08:07:51 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Added the ability to get the input and output file names without
          an extension.

        * config/qt_uic.mpb:

          Added support for generating uic interface declarations and
          implementations.

Mon Aug 30 06:45:25 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Fixed another problem with the -apply_project option.  When
          determining the library name, it is possible to use the project
          name.  In that case, we need to keep a copy of the non-modified
          project name so we can determine the correct library name.

Fri Aug 27 09:03:12 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Changed the wchar_t setting to FALSE which is the default for new
          projects created in Visual C++ 7.  It can be changed to TRUE by
          passing "-value_template wchar_t=TRUE" to MPC.

Fri Aug 27 08:35:39 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Fixed a problem with the circular project dependency detection
          algorithm.  Previously, it could take days to detect a circular
          dependency if there were a large number of projects.

Thu Aug 26 17:38:41 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:

        * modules/AutomakeProjectCreator.pm:

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/VC6ProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/VC7ProjectCreator.pm:

          Corrected a bug where dependencies would not be placed in the
          workspace when the -apply_project option was used (in conjunction
          with -name_modifier).

        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Fixed a problem with the group circular dependency detection
          algorithm.  Previously, it could take days to detect a circular
          dependency if there were a large number of directories.

Wed Aug 18 23:08:35 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Changed to scan the generated project files for the use of
          $(ACE_ROOT), $(TAO_ROOT), etc. and provide the appropriate
          definition if they are found.  While this behavior is ACE/TAO
          specific, there isn't much that can be done without something
          like a workspace template.

Wed Aug 18 08:56:01 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd:

          Changed to use am_includes, rev_avoids, and rev_requires.

        * modules/AutomakeProjectCreator.pm:

          Changed fill_value to understand am_includes, rev_avoids, and
          rev_requires.  am_includes prepends $(srcdir) to any relative
          include paths; rev_avoids and and rev_requires reverses the
          order of the avoids and requires lists.  This is useful for
          the trailing comments after the "endif" in conditionals.

Fri Aug 13 18:31:01 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

          Define INSTALL_THIS_TARGET for use by automake.mpd.

Fri Aug 13 10:53:57 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

          blank lines.

Fri Aug 13 10:25:31 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * modules/AutomakeProjectCreator.pm:
          Changed sort_files to return 1.  While this is not required by
          automake, it makes the resulting Makefile.am's easier to read.
          This is important now that we're still hand-editing the MPC
          generated files.

        * templates/automake.mpd:
          Add pidl_files to headers so they'll be installed.

Thu Aug 12 09:42:55 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

          Removed code that converted $(...) to %...%.  During testing, it
          didn't seem necessary and was broken in some instances.  I don't
          even remember why it was added in the first place.

          Added support for midl.  It uses midl_includes, midl_defines,
          and midl_flags.  To use, just add an idl file to your source
          files section and define the midl_* variables in the vc6/7

Tue Aug 10 17:10:38 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd:

Mon Aug  9 07:50:47 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Fixed a bug in the code that determines which generated files get
          added automatically.  The array that can exist in the components
          list could be undefined and in that case nothing got added
          automatically.

        * templates/automakedll.mpt:

          Added a missing conditional include of the common mpt file.

Mon Aug  9 07:04:12 UTC 2004  Johnny Willemsen  <jwillemsen@remedy.nl>

        * templates/bmakecommon.mpt:

Sat Aug  7 23:19:33 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd:
          Introduce an intermediate dependency between custom input
          and output files so that only one instance of the command
          is spawned per input file with parallel make.

Thu Aug  5 14:57:19 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd:
          Use $(srcdir)/<%custom_type->input_file%> instead of $< so
          resulting makefile will work on systems where make doesn't
          support VPATH.

Thu Aug  5 11:14:12 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

Wed Aug  4 11:47:06 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd:
          Use technique pioneered in the last checkin to remove the
          $(DUMMY_VALUE...) hack from _CPPFLAGS definitions.

Wed Aug  4 11:23:04 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd:
          The automake documentation recommends that header files for
          programs and convienence libraries be listed in _SOURCES and not
          _HEADERS.  This has been done for programs (as we don't yet have
          a way to reliably distinguish between convienence libraries from
          installed libraries).  I've done this with rather ugly template
          macros to avoid having to do the $(DUMMY_VALUE...) hack.  This
          results in more readable Makefile.am's.

Wed Aug  4 09:23:03 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator:
        * templates/automake.mpd:
          Changed to set nobase_pkginstall_HEADERS instead of HEADER_FILES,
          INLINE_FILES, and TEMPLATE_FILES in Makefile.<project>.am files.
          Extending this will enable us to control installing headers on a
          per library basis (all we need is some way to control the prefix
          used for _HEADERS).

Mon Aug  2 09:29:31 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd: For non-installed libraries, generate
          noinst_LTLIBRARIES instead of lib_LTLIBRARIES.
          For libraries, assume that "libs" are libtool-created libraries
          and "lit_libs" are not.

Mon Aug  2 08:04:27 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/bmake.mpd:
        * templates/bmakecommon.mpt:

          Removed ACE specific portions of the bmake template.  They will
          need to be supplied on the command line using the -value_template
          and -value_project options.

Sun Aug  1 08:31:49 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd:
          Fix typo, use <%dynamicflag%> instead of <%dynamicflags%> within
          foreach loop.

Sun Aug  1 15:13:12 UTC 2004  Johnny Willemsen  <jwillemsen@remedy.nl>

        * templates/bmake.mpd:
          Use the new ccflags, common_flags and warnflags. Tried to add
          some support for unicode builds, this is not complete yet, added
          "" around the objfiles, to handle ++ in directory/file names. Added
          setting of define ACE_LD_DECORATOR_STR, which is used in ACE to
          determine the filename extension of DLL's. Removed the removal
          of files with postlinkrmext extenion (is .tds) files after the
          link, instead do this with realclean.

        * templates/bmakecommon.mpt:
          Updated dllflags, common_defines, added ccflags,
          common_flags, and warnflags which have to be passed
          to the compiler

        * templates/bmakedll.mpt:
        * templates/bmakedllexe.mpt:
        * templates/bmakelibexe.mpt:
          Set postlinkrmext to .tds in all these files, we should
          rework this a little bit more, tds files are needed for
          the debugger and we shouldn't remove them after the link.

          The bmake target is not complete yet, things that have to be
          improved are startup objects (gperf just cores now),
           unicode support, codeguard support, install target, clean target.

Wed Jul 28 20:01:36 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd: Emit a _LDFLAGS definition if linkflags
          is defined.

Wed Jul 28 09:15:02 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * clone_build_tree.pl:

          Remove backup files before trying to create them and added
          information to some error messages.

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Cleaned up the code a bit.

        * templates/automakedll.mpt:
        * templates/automakeexe.mpt:

          The automakedll.mpt defines linkflags for use within
          automake.mpd.  automakeexe.mpt just includes automakedll.mpt.

Fri Jul 23 14:32:54 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:
          Parse generated Makefile.<project>.am files as their contents
          are being inserted into the workspace Makefile.am, converting
          the first instance where a macro is appended to (+=) into a
          simple assignment (=).  This results in a Makefile.am that is
          closer to what would be written by hand, and automake will often
          generate smaller Makefile.in files since it won't be tricked
          into pulling in boilerplate for macros that were defined and not
          used.

Thu Jul 22 17:39:41 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm: When writing
          configure.ac.Makefiles, insert entries for project-less directories
          between project-containing directories. Allows the bootstrap
          procedure to find and make the needed Makefiles to traverse the
          entire build tree.


        * templates/automake.mpd: Changed _LIBADD to _LDADD for programs.

Thu Jul 22 12:52:39 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm: If there's no local project
          info for the current Makefile.am, don't put the initial bin_PROGRAMS,
          lib_LTLIBRARIES, etc. If there are local projects, add "." to the
          SUBDIRS.

        * templates/automake.mpd: Add _LIBADD settings to pick up needed
          libraries.

Wed Jul 21 19:34:46 2004  J.T. Conklin  <jtc@acorntoolworks.com>

        * modules/AutomakeProjectCreator.pm:
          Override expand_variables_from_template_values.

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm: Don't emit SUBDIRS
          definition if there aren't any subdirectories.

        * templates/automake.mpd: Simplify so that _CPPFLAGS, etc.
          settings are not duplicated for programs and libraries,
          grouped and non-grouped source files, etc.

Wed Jul 21 18:02:31 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * templates/automake.mpd: Added the _CPPFLAGS setting to the
          non-grouped library section.

Wed Jul 21 17:04:39 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm: In write_comps(), combine all
          of the current directory level's Makefile.<project>.am files into
          the directory's Makefile.am file and delete the individual files.
          Write only the Makefile.am file paths into the configure.ac.Makefiles
          list. This is because the previous loop-through-current-Makefile
          scheme sent make into an infinite loop, consuming all process
          slots very quickly. The generated Makefiles always like to start
          again at the top Makefile to check its updatedness, even if
          a specific Makefile.<project> file was specified to make. Moved the
          general cleanup text from automake.mpd to here.

        * templates/automake.mpd: For non-project-specific info (bin, lib,
          etc.) use += rather than = to allow multiple per-project files to
          be combined into one file later. Removed the general cleanup
          directives and put them in the workspace generator, above. J.T.
          Conklin also supplied changes for the following:

          - Append list of custom_type outfiles to BUILT_SOURCES

          - Append list of custom_type outfiles to CLEANFILES

          - Emit explicit rules for building custom type outfiles.  Note that
            unlike some of the other makefile templates, I've used $< instead
            of <%custom_type->input_file%> so that the file will be found via
            vpath.

          - Removed global setting of INCLUDES.  Include paths are now handled
            by per library/program _CPPFLAGS.

Fri Jul 16 12:24:36 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Added a method to get the current output file name.

Thu Jul 15 14:02:04 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * clone_build_tree.pl:

          Cleaned up the code a bit.

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Used a parameter passed into write_comps to determine if we are
          writing the top level workspace.

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Ignore project names that are set in a base project.  It doesn't
          make sense and I can't think of a practical use of this.

        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Fixed a bug where an excluded name could be partially matched and
          possibly exclude something that wasn't meant to be.

Thu Jul  8 14:09:49 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Added a new wild card syntax ('^') similar to the '!' that works
          best for excluding generated files from component lists.  See the
          README for more details.

Thu Jul  8 09:16:21 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:

          Added documentation about the wild card support in MPC.

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          If grouping is used in source files, put automatically added files
          in corresponding groups.

        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Use <%ucw()%> for the custom_type which looks better in the
          graphical interface.

Tue Jul  6 11:29:07 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:

          Added documentation for new pseudo template variables for use
          within the command, commandflags, postcommand and output_option
          settings.

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Fixed a bug where mixing grouped and non-grouped files would cause
          the non-grouped files to be ignored.

          Added new pseudo template variables for the null device, >, <, &&
          and ||.

        * modules/VC7ProjectCreator.pm:

          Override defaults for the >, < and && values to correctly support
          these within the XML projects.

        * templates/em3vcp.mpd:
        * templates/vc6dsp.mpd:
        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Added support for grouping header, inline, template, resource and
          documentation files.

Fri Jul  2 10:27:03 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Default the machine setting to X86.

Fri Jul  2 08:17:48 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/Creator.pm:

          Return the same kind of crlf on OS/2 as we do on Windows.  Just in
          case someone tries to use MPC on OS/2.

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          When returning the list of grouped source files, convert the
          slashes if it is necessary.

        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          The above change allows us to use file grouping for vc7.
          Previously, files would have a forward slash in the name (if they
          were in sub-directories) which confused vc7 and would cause link
          errors.

Thu Jul  1 09:35:27 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/MakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Added a .PHONY: target for sub targets.  This only has an effect
          when using GNU make, but does not have an adverse effect when
          using other versions of make.

        * README:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/TemplateParser.pm:
        * templates/bmake.mpd:
        * templates/em3vcp.mpd:
        * templates/make.mpd:
        * templates/nmake.mpd:
        * templates/vc6dsp.mpd:
        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Added support for a new custom build keyword 'postcommand'.  The
          postcommand can be used to run arbitrary commands after the main
          custom command is run.  See the README for more details.

Thu Jul  1 10:16:38 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm (write_comps): Write a
          configure.ac.Makefiles entry for the top-level workspace as
          well, else there's no starting point in the configured tree.

        * modules/TemplateParser.pm: Added new template <%normalize%>
          that takes a exename as a parameter. Converts '-' to '_' to
          make the name palatable prepended to a special automake name
          such as _SOURCES.

        * templates/automake.mpd: Applied a patch from Chad that makes
          grouped sources work better. Also, added <%normalize%> to
          exename_SOURCES generation so exe names with '-' in them get
          changed to '_' for their SOURCES. This is the same normalization
          Automake will do when trying to find the SOURCES for a bin_ target.
          Removed the support for being able to select library subsets to
          build at configure time. It didn't work right, and the subset
          selection capability is not in the MPC-generated GNUmakefiles
          either. It can be (re)attempted later if needed, but the longer-term
          goal in ACE land seems to be to find other ways to reduce footprint.
          Also changed the _PROGRAMS generation to switch between bin_ and
          noinst_ depending on presence of an 'install' directive.

Tue Jun 22 20:53:12 2004  Ossama Othman  <ossama@dre.vanderbilt.edu>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS):

          Removed generation of this make variable.  All Automake options
          should generally be set via the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE autoconf macro
          in the application's `configure.ac' file.

Tue Jun 22 20:35:36 2004  Ossama Othman  <ossama@dre.vanderbilt.edu>

        * templates/automake.mpd (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS):

          Removed this make variable.  All Automake options should
          generally be set via the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE autoconf macro in the
          application's `configure.ac' file.

          (pkginclude_HEADERS):

          Corrected make variable for template files.
          "$(INLINE_FILES)" -> "$(TEMPLATE_FILES)".

Tue Jun 15 07:02:12 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * USAGE:
        * modules/Options.pm:

          Updated the usage information to provide more details on using the
          -base option.

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          We need to ensure that macros only get expanded to environment
          variables when converting source file, header file, etc. related
          macros.  Thanks to Phil Mesnier <mesnier_p@ociweb.com> for
          reporting this.

Thu Jun 10 08:33:08 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/Driver.pm:
        * modules/Options.pm:

          Moved the usage out of the Driver and into the Options module.

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/VC6ProjectCreator.pm:

          Added support for replacing $(...) with an environment variable.
          This is not necessary for 'make' based project types and is not
          supported by Visual C++ 7 or higher.  So, it is used by the em3
          and vc6 types.

Tue Jun  8 17:14:29 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm: Fixed string writing to write
          a tab to the generated file where desired, not a '\t'.

Tue Jun  8 12:29:19 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm (write_comps): Get automake
          trees to generate. It now relies on this scheme:
          * Each project goes in its own Makefile.<project>.am file (this is
            not a change from previous versions).
          * Each Makefile.am has a list of local project Makefiles added to
            it and has all-local, clean-local, and distclean-local targets
            added that cycle through all the local projects and do sub-makes.
          * At autoconf/automake (bootstrap) time, all of the
            Makefile[.<proj>].am files get processed into Makefile[.<proj>].in
            files. This list is directed by the configure.ac.Makefiles list
            that should be included into configure.ac.
          * At configure time, all of the .in files get processed into
            Makefiles. All the local targets that MPC put in the Makefile.am
            files should go through to the Makefiles at each level, and
            direct the build.

        Made these changes:
          - Only generate a configure.ac.Makefiles at the starting directory
            level; not at each level. When adding entries, don't keep the
            ".am" suffix; this was a mistake.
          - The configure.ac.Makefile also needs an entry for the Makefile at
            each directory level with a project.
          - The top-level Makefile.am has the "ACLOCAL = @ACLOCAL@" and
            "AC_LOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4" lines added to the end to pass the
            flags along properly when running autoconf.

Tue Jun  8 11:30:15 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Added the ability to add additional compiler options through the
          use of the compile_flags template value.

Fri May 28 14:03:13 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * LICENSE:

          Added a license file with the content from the MPC section of
          http://theaceorb.com/product/license.html.

        * config/openssl.mpb:
        * templates/automake.mpd:
        * templates/bmake.mpd:
        * templates/makedll.mpt:

          Removed trailing white space.

Fri May 28 13:06:01 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/em3vcplib.mpt:
        * templates/em3vcplibexe.mpt:
        * templates/vc7lib.mpt:
        * templates/vc7libexe.mpt:

          Consistently name static project configurations across all Windows
          based project types (excluding NMake since it has both dynamic and
          static in a single makefile).

Wed May 26 17:17:29 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm: In write_comps(), when writing
          the SUBDIRS list, only list next-level directories - SUBDIRS is
          only allowed to list them, and not anything below.

Mon May 24 13:44:13 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Print out the projects involved when warning about circular
          dependencies.

Mon May 24 07:35:39 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * config/zzip.mpb:

          Added a base project to support the zzip library.

        * modules/BMakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/NMakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Removed unused variables.

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/CBXWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/GHSWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/SLEWorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/VA4WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Removed an extra unused parameter to the sort_dependencies method.

        * modules/Version.pm:

          Modified the code to only read the ChangeLog if we are going to
          display the version number.

        * USAGE:
        * modules/Creator.pm:
        * modules/DirectoryManager.pm:
        * modules/Driver.pm:
        * modules/Options.pm:
        * modules/Parser.pm:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Added support for generating the workspace and project files
          into an alternate directory tree.  This can not be used to build
          code outside of the source tree, only to generate the workspace
          and project files to make it easier to package up these files for
          distribution.

Sat May 22 17:28:31 2004  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * modules/AutomakeWorkspaceCreator.pm: Changed AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to
          "1.7 foreign" to match what's used at the project level.

Tue May 18 19:48:33 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Remove escape sequences from extensions while generating the list
          of possible file names from custom inputs instead of doing it after
          the fact and possibly removing back slashes from parts of the
          generated file path.

Tue May 18 09:37:29 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/Version.pm:

          Added code to automatically determine the beta version number at
          run-time.  This number is determined by the manipulating the total
          number of ChangeLog entries.

        * mpc.pl:
        * mwc.pl:

          Provide a getBasePath() function to allow MPC to determine the

Tue May 18 07:22:53 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          When parsing the component list, convert any $(...) to relative
          paths if possible.

Fri May 14 06:45:14 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * MPC version 3.1 released.

Wed May 12 08:14:00 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/BMakeProjectCreator.pm:

          Sort the directories when forming the cppdir value.  We need to
          ensure that '.' comes first.  Borland make attempts to generate
          source files in each CPPDIR directory until it is successful
          which explains multiple invocations of custom build tools.

Tue May 11 11:36:00 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/em3vcp.mpd:
        * templates/em3vcpdll.mpt:
        * templates/em3vcpdllexe.mpt:
        * templates/em3vcplib.mpt:
        * templates/em3vcplibexe.mpt:

          Added support for ARM v4.  Thanks to Jonathan Pollack
          <pollack_j@ociweb.com> for providing the patches.  Also, I fixed a
          bug where the precompiled header output was going to the wrong
          directory.

Tue May 11 10:53:11 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * USAGE:
        * modules/Driver.pm:
        * modules/Options.pm:

          Added a -version option to print the MPC version and exit.

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Added libraries and executables to the install script generation.

        * prj_install.pl:

          Added support for installation of libraries and executables.

Fri May  7 07:41:55 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/bmakelib.mpt:
        * templates/bmakelibexe.mpt:
        * templates/em3vcplib.mpt:
        * templates/em3vcplibexe.mpt:
        * templates/vc6dsplib.mpt:
        * templates/vc6dsplibexe.mpt:

          Consistently name the intermediate and output directories across
          all Windows based templates.

Thu May  6 10:50:53 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Fixed a bug dealing with generated files that used the 'gendir'
          setting.  If the generated files were listed, but did not match up
          exactly with what was expected, they would be listed twice in the
          generated project.

Thu May  6 09:21:59 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/em3vcp.mpd:
        * templates/nmake.mpd:
        * templates/vc6dsp.mpd:
        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Added a template name, link_options, to allow users to inject MS
          linker options into the generated projects.

Wed May  5 12:34:51 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/Creator.pm:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Changed the way that duplication additions for libpaths, includes
          and libs are handled.  We now silently ignore duplicate additions
          and maintain original assignment order.  This fixes problems with
          static linking on UNIX.

Tue May  4 07:40:02 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:

          Updated information about the use of 'gendir' without
          'output_option' set in a custom file definition.

Mon May  3 23:12:37 2004  Ossama Othman  <ossama@dre.vanderbilt.edu>

        * config/openssl.mpb:

          Some Linux OpenSSL installations compile in Kerberos support.
          Add the Kerberos include path to preprocessor include path.

Mon May  3 12:17:10 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          By default, refer to the dll based template input files for static
          template input.  If the template supports generating static
          projects, then the project creator module will have overridden
          the methods to return the correct template input files.

        * templates/bmake.mpd:
        * templates/em3vcp.mpd:
        * templates/nmake.mpd:
        * templates/vc6dsp.mpd:
        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          These template files have been changed in a similar fashion to
          Justin Michel's changes from Sat May  1 15:20:00 2004.

Mon May  3 10:49:28 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Fixed yet another bug in the relative replacement code section.
          If a portion of the current path was found in the replacement
          value, it would assume that the whole thing was to be replaced.
          This is obviously wrong and has been corrected.

Sat May  1 15:20:00 2004  Justin Michel  <michel_j@ociweb.com>

        * templates/vc7.mpd:
        * templates/vc7dll.mpt:
        * templates/vc7lib.mpt:

          Resource Files are only for exe or dll binaries, not for static
          libs. Added a check for type_is_static, so that the resource files
          section is not created.  type_is_* should be defined outside of the
          individual configurations. This change allows checking
          type_is_static from outside of a particular configuration.

Thu Apr 30 14:50:00 2004  Justin Michel  <michel_j@ociweb.com>

        * templates/nmake.mpd:

          Added a new DEPENDCHECK target that either prints the "Using x.dep"
          or "Warning : cannot find x.dep". This way, the warning is not
          displayed when generating dependencies.

Fri Apr 30 11:47:48 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:

          Fixed spelling errors.

        * config/mfc.mpb:

          Added a non-ACE specific version of the mfc base project.

        * modules/Creator.pm:
        * modules/Driver.pm:
        * modules/Options.pm:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Made modifications to avoid Perl warnings when working with
          version 5.005 or earlier.

        * prj_install.pl:

          Added additional information to the usage that describes the
          default set of install tags.

        * templates/cbx.mpd:

          Removed ACE specific lines.

Thu Apr 29 14:50:00 2004  Justin Michel  <michel_j@ociweb.com>

        * templates/nmake.mpd:

          The custom build output should be the first thing listed for
          the ALL target, to ensure that any generated files are available
          for the rest of the commands.

Mon Apr 26 09:55:25 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/em3vcplibexe.mpt:
        * templates/vc6dsplib.mpt:
        * templates/vc6dsplibexe.mpt:

          Switched to using MFC as a shared dll even in static libraries and
          executables.  There is no need to statically link in the MFC
          libraries.

Fri Apr 23 11:06:10 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Added additional functionality to fix RT #3816 and RT #3847.  Both
          issues dealt with custom generated files not being cleaned up
          properly.  The real issue was that there was no way to represent,
          in MPC, what was being generated by the custom command.
          Additional custom definition keywords have been added that allow
          users to represent what the custom command actually generates.

        * modules/Version.pm:

          Increment the minor version number.

        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          This change fixes RT #3856.  The vc7 template (which is being used
          by the vc8 project type) did not work quite correctly in Visual
          C++ 8.  Multi-lined custom commands were changed to be compatible
          with vc7, vc71 and vc8.

Thu Apr 22 08:32:20 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * config/openssl.mpb:
        * config/qt.mpb:
        * config/zlib.mpb:

          Added the vc8 type to the 'specific' sections that have vc71 in
          them.

Wed Apr 21 08:50:01 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/VC8ProjectCreator.pm:

          Corrected some bugs in this module.

        * modules/VC8WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Removed some redundant methods that are inherited from the
          VC71WorkspaceCreator.

Wed Apr 21 13:27:43 UTC 2004  Johnny Willemsen  <jwillemsen@remedy.nl>

        * USAGE:
          Added vc8.

Wed Apr 21 13:06:44 UTC 2004  Johnny Willemsen  <jwillemsen@remedy.nl>

        * modules/VC8ProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/VC8WorkspaceCreator.pm:
        * modules/MWC.pm:
        * modules/MPC.pm:
          Added Visual C++ 8 MPC template. This is for the Microsoft
          Visual Studio 8 Whidbey March 2004 Preview.

Mon Apr 19 13:44:16 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/Creator.pm:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          When subtracting values from mapped keywords, we must expand
          template values in order to ensure that the values that are being
          subtracted are actually removed.  This has a side effect of
          expanding template values during subtraction even if the project
          creator type does not normally expand template values.

Fri Apr 16 08:05:19 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * prj_install.pl:

          This script reads .ins files generated by MPC and installs
          portions of a project into a user specified location.

Thu Apr 15 13:16:03 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Fixed a bug where generating the hierarchical workspace would have
          the wrong build ordering.  It was a subtle bug that had to do with
          the way projects were sorted.

Wed Apr 14 07:41:58 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Modified the file exclusion behavior to work correctly with
          grouped files within components.

Tue Apr 13 13:46:14 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:
        * USAGE:

          Removed ACE specific references and documentation.

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Added wildcard support (*?[]) for component lists and the ability
          to exclude files from the component lists by preceding the name
          with '!'.

          ex.
          project {
            Source_Files {
              // Get every source file, except foo.cpp
              !foo.cpp
            }
          }

          project {
            Source_Files {
              // Get every cpp file that starts with RT
              RT*.cpp
            }
          }

        * modules/Parser.pm:
        * modules/TemplateParser.pm:

          Added the ability for the TemplateParser to cache the contents of
          a template to avoid opening and reading the project template over
          and over again.

Mon Apr 12 11:38:29 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * clone_build_tree.pl:

          Added more file types to exclude during cloning.

        * modules/Creator.pm:

          We still need to maintain the real set of files added for
          generation of the workspace.

        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          Added more information to the error message when duplicate
          projects are found within a workspace.

Mon Apr 12 10:00:56 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/Creator.pm:

          Switched the files_written structure to a hash array instead of an
          array to make searches within that structure faster.

        * modules/WorkspaceCreator.pm:

          When generating workspaces, only write out the workspace if it is
          the main workspace that corresponds to an mwc file or it hasn't
          been written out yet.

        * templates/vc7.mpd:
        * templates/vc7dll.mpt:
        * templates/vc7exe.mpt:
        * templates/vc7lib.mpt:
        * templates/vc7libexe.mpt:

          Removed the 'debug' template keyword.  It was unnecessary and
          conflicted with the Debug configuration now that these are
          case-insensitive.

Fri Apr  9 21:19:34 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * README:
        * modules/Creator.pm:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          Added a new keyword, 'recurse', that causes MPC to recurse into
          directories listed under componets such as Source_Files,
          Header_Files, etc.

Fri Apr  9 13:51:47 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * clone_build_tree.pl:

          Added a script that works similarly to create_ace_build.pl except
          that it does not restrict the location of the cloned build tree
          and works with any tree structure, not just ACE_wrappers.

Fri Apr  9 12:38:15 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:

          When replacing $() with template variables, we need to ensure that
          if what it is replaced with also contains a $() construct, then
          that too will be replaced with relative definitions.

Thu Apr  8 09:51:28 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/make.mpd:

          Corrected a problem with the pch_postrule commands.  I forgot that
          $$ was interpreted by make, so what I really wanted was $$$$ to
          get $$ passed out to the shell.

Thu Apr  8 07:02:25 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * USAGE:
        * modules/Driver.pm:

          Removed the documentation stating that new name value template
          pairs could not be added using -value_template.  This is no longer
          the case.

        * modules/Options.pm:
        * modules/ProjectCreator.pm:
        * modules/TemplateInputReader.pm:
        * modules/TemplateParser.pm:

          Support replacing $() constructs with template values of the same
          name.  By default all project creators will do this.  Overriding
          the expand_variables_from_template_values method is the way to
          modify this behavior.

Wed Apr  7 06:49:16 2004  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * templates/bmake.mpd:
        * templates/em3vcp.mpd:
        * templates/make.mpd:
        * templates/nmake.mpd:
        * templates/vc6dsp.mpd:
        * templates/vc7.mpd:

          Finished support for the 'pch_postrule' of the Define_Custom which
          post edits generated source files and places the #include for the
          precompiled header at the top of the file.
