* tests: auxdir-pr19311.sh no longer fails with latest autoconfJim Meyering2020-11-162-1/+7
| | | | | | * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove from this list. * t/auxdir-pr19311.sh: Instead, run this test only when autoconf is 2.69d or newer. Otherwise, skip it.
* maint: placate maintainer-check's rm -f checkJim Meyering2020-11-161-1/+1
| | | | | * t/vala-recursive-setup.sh: Add an unnecessary -f option to an rm invocation to avoid "make maintainer-check" failure.
* maint: Update files from upstream with 'make fetch'Jim Meyering2020-11-153-139/+179
| | | | | | * lib/config.guess: Update. * lib/config.sub: Likewise. * lib/texinfo.tex: Likewise.
* tests: avoid missing .dvi failure with parallel testsJim Meyering2020-11-151-0/+4
| | | | | | | | * t/txinfo-no-clutter.sh: Tests of texinfo-related rules had overlap that made them fail often when some rules were run in parallel, so inhibit parallelism in that one directory. See discussion starting at https://lists.gnu.org/r/automake-patches/2020-11/msg00011.html
* tests: protect against parallel false failureJim Meyering2020-11-151-5/+5
| | | | | | | | * t/parallel-tests-console-output.sh: Do not depend on the order of items in test summary. With a parallel test run, they may appear in a different order, e.g., when running tests like this: make check AM_TESTSUITE_MAKE='make -j14' Sort the expected output and the actual output before comparing.
* doc: fix quoting in suggested parallel test invocationJim Meyering2020-11-151-1/+1
| | | | * t/README: Fix reversed single/double quotes.
* tests: accommodate an $ac_aux_dir of "." or "./"Jim Meyering2020-11-141-1/+1
| | | | | | * t/auxdir-pr15981.sh: This test would fail when run with autoconf-2.69d because $ac_aux_dir would be "./" rather than the expected ".". Accept both.
* tests: avoid failures due to missing ar-libJim Meyering2020-11-142-0/+2
| | | | | | | * t/ar4.sh: Create dummy ar-lib, as done in other tests, to avoid failure like this: configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: ar-lib * t/ar5.sh: Likewise.

* vala: improve support, especially builddir vs. srcdir.Reuben Thomas2020-11-0710-62/+398
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/13002. * NEWS: mention these changes. * bin/automake.in: generated C files go in builddir, not srcdir. Distribute the header files generated from VAPI files. * t/vala-libs-distcheck.sh: new test for `make distcheck' of a Vala library. * t/vala-libs-vpath.sh: new test for a VPATH build of a Vala library. * t/vala-libs.sh: add local VAPIs used as external --package to test. * t/vala-recursive-setup.sh: we need to make maintainer-clean at one point to remove stamp files to avoid confusing a VPATH build performed after a non-VPATH build. * t/vala-non-recursive-setup.sh: likewise. * t/vala-parallel.sh: some test paths need changing to take into account that generated C files now go in builddir. * t/vala-per-target-flags.sh: likewise. * t/vala-recursive-setup.sh: likewise. * t/vala-vpath.sh: likewise.
* tests: recompute dependencies when lists-of-tests.mk changes.Karl Berry2020-11-071-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/44458 and updates https://bugs.gnu.org/11347. * t/local.mk ($(srcdir)/%D/testsuite-part.am): restore dependency on '%D/list-of-tests.mk' (i.e., t/list-of-tests.mk), partially reverting the change of 26 Apr 2012 for bug#11347. Otherwise, new tests that have dependencies will not cause an update of testsuite-part.am, leading to strange failures (bug#44458). The original problem being fixed in #11347 was unnecessary rebuilding when modifying tests; that should not be affected here, but when new tests are added, it seems reasonable, as well as necessary, to ensure dependencies are updated.
* python: determine Python (3.10) version number correctly.Miro Hron\v{c}ok2020-10-274-7/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/44239 (and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1889732). * m4/python.m4: use print('%u.%u' % sys.version_info[:2]) for the version number instead of merely sys.version[:3], so the numbers are treated as numbers. * t/python-vars.sh (PYTHON_VERSION): Likewise. * doc/automake.texi: Document it. * NEWS: mention it. (Minor tweaks from Karl Berry.)

* Improve Vala compiler detection: use API version, not compiler versionReuben Thomas2020-10-233-21/+32
| | | | | * m4/vala.m4: check `valac --api-version', not `valac --version'. * doc/automake.texi: update documentation.
* Use complete configure.ac’s in testsuite.Zack Weinberg2020-10-072-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Autoconf 2.70 will issue warnings if it encounters a configure.ac that doesn’t call both AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT. Automake already issues warnings if it encounters a configure.ac that uses an AM_ macro but doesn’t call AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE or AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]). In two places, the testsuite was tripping these warnings, leading to spurious failures with Autoconf 2.70 betas. * t/aminit-moreargs-deprecation.sh: Add AC_OUTPUT to test configure.ac. * t/mkdirp-deprecation.sh: Use a complete test configure.ac, not a stub containing only a use of AM_PROG_MKDIR_P.
* automake: install-exec did not depend on $(BUILT_SOURCES).Karl Berry2020-10-067-15/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/43683. * lib/am/install.am (install-exec): %maybe_BUILT_SOURCES% dependency, twice. Basic patch from madmurphy (tiny change), message#8. (.MAKE) [maybe_BUILT_SOURCES]: depend on install-exec. * NEWS: mention it. * doc/automake.texi (Sources): mention this (also that make dist depends on $(BUILT_SOURCES)). * t/built-sources-install-exec.sh: new test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): add it. * t/built-sources-install.sh: typo. * t/built-sources-check.sh: typo.
* Update documentation of warnings options and strictness levels.Zack Weinberg2020-09-211-119/+127
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The warning categories ‘cross’ and ‘portability-recursive’ were not mentioned in the manual. Also clarify the relationship between warnings categories and strictness levels, and streamline the description of strictness levels by merging the “Gnits” section into the “Strictness” section. * doc/automake.texi (Gnits, Strictness): Combine these sections. Minor revisions to explanation of strictness levels. (automake Invocation): Add documentation of all the warnings categories that have been added since the last time this section was updated. Minor clarifications.
* Use WARNINGS=none to suppress warnings from autom4te runs.Zack Weinberg2020-09-212-12/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | aclocal uses autom4te in trace mode to scan configure.ac for macros whose definition is not yet available. It has a kludge to prevent this from producing spurious warnings, but a cleaner, fully backward compatible, way to get the same effect is to set WARNINGS=none in the environment and not pass down any -W options. (This is better than passing -Wnone on the command line because it automatically inherits to any subprocesses started by autom4te.) Perl’s ‘local’ feature can be used to make the enviironment variable setting temporary, reverting to the previous value when we exit the function. automake also runs autom4te (technically autoconf) in trace mode; warnings from this invocation will not be *spurious*, but in the common case where the person running automake is going to run autoconf next, they will be duplicated. Therefore, make the same change to automake. * bin/aclocal.in (trace_used_macros) * bin/automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Use “local $ENV{WARNINGS}='none'” to suppress warnings from autom4te.
* New utility function Automake::ChannelDefs::merge_WARNINGS.Zack Weinberg2020-09-181-2/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function merges a list of warnings categories into the environment variable WARNINGS, returning a new value to set it to. The intended use is in code of the form { local $ENV{WARNINGS} = merge_WARNINGS ("this", "that"); # run a command here with WARNINGS=this,that,etc } This is not actually used in automake, but will be in autoconf. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (merge_WARNINGS): New function.
* t/python-virtualenv.sh: Skip when versions don’t matchZack Weinberg2020-09-121-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some operating systems ‘python’ is Python 2.x but ‘virtualenv -ppython’ will create a virtualenv that uses Python 3.x. This is a bug, but it’s not *automake’s* bug, and should not cause t/python-virtualenv.sh to fail. Skip the test, instead of failing it, when the inner=outer version check fails. (This also has nothing to do with the main goal of this patchset, it just annoyed me while I was testing.) * t/python-virtualenv.sh: Skip test, rather than failing it, when $py_version_pre != $py_version_post.
* Consistently use ‘our’ instead of ‘use vars’.Zack Weinberg2020-09-1215-117/+94
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At file scope of a file containing at most one ‘package’ declaration, ‘use vars’ is exactly equivalent to ‘our’, and the latter is preferred starting with Perl 5.6.0, which happens to be the oldest version we support. (This change has nothing to do with the previous two, but I want to make the same change in Autoconf and that means doing it here for all the files synced from Automake.) (I don’t know why, but this change exposed a latent bug in FileUtils.pm where the last pod block in the file didn’t have a ‘=cut’ delimiter, so the code after it was considered documentation, causing ‘require FileUtils’ to fail.) * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm * lib/Automake/Channels.pm * lib/Automake/Condition.pm * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm * lib/Automake/General.pm * lib/Automake/Getopt.pm * lib/Automake/Options.pm * lib/Automake/Rule.pm * lib/Automake/RuleDef.pm * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm * lib/Automake/Variable.pm * lib/Automake/Wrap.pm * lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Replace all uses of ‘use vars’ with ‘our’. * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Add missing ‘=cut’ to a pod block near the end of the file.
* Consistently process -W(no-)error after all other warning options.Zack Weinberg2020-09-123-14/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | automake and aclocal were processing ‘-W(no-)error’ whenever it appeared on the command line, which means that ‘-Werror,something-strange’ would issue a hard error, but ‘-Wsomething-strange,error’ would only issue a warning. It is not desirable for warnings about unknown warning categories ever to be treated as a hard error; that leads to problems for driver scripts like autoreconf, which would like to pass whatever -W options it got on its own command line down to all the tools and not worry about which tools understand which warning categories. Also, this sort of order dependence is confusing for humans. Change parse_warnings to take just one option, the _complete_ list of warning categories seen on the command line, and to process -Werror / -Wno-error after processing all other warnings options. Thus, unknown warnings categories will always just be a plain warning. This does mean aclocal has to stop using parse_warnings as a Getopt::Long callback, but that’s not a big deal. Similarly, change parse_WARNINGS to record whether ‘error’ appeared in the environment variable, but not activate warnings-are-errors mode itself. parse_warnings picks up the record and honors it, unless it’s overridden by the command line. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm ($werror): New package global (not exported). (parse_WARNINGS): Do not call switch_warning for ‘error’ / ‘no-error’; just toggle the value of $werror. (parse_warnings): Do not call switch_warning immediately for ‘error’ / ‘no-error’; toggle $werror instead. Call switch_warning ‘error’ at the very end if $werror is true. Remove unused $OPTION argument. * bin/automake.in: parse_warnings now takes only one argument. * bin/aclocal.in: Call parse_warnings after parse_options instead of using it as a parse_options callback.
* Sync ChannelDefs.pm from autoconf.Zack Weinberg2020-09-113-38/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ChannelDefs.pm *ought* to be kept in sync between automake and autoconf, because it defines the set of valid -W options, and autoreconf assumes that it can pass arbitrary -W options to all of the tools it invokes. However, it isn’t covered by either project’s ‘make fetch’ and it hasn’t actually *been* in sync for more than 17 years. This patch manually brings over all of the changes made on the autoconf side. Most importantly, there is a new warnings channel ‘cross’, for warnings related to cross-compilation. Also, the ‘usage’ function now *returns* the text to be put into a usage message, instead of printing it itself. (This is necessary on autoconf’s side.) * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Sync from autoconf. (cross): New warnings channel. (portability-recursive): Document. (usage): Now returns the text to be printed, instead of printing it. (parse_warnings): Second argument may now be a list.
* automake: be robust against directories containing ().Zack Weinberg2020-09-053-13/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/14196. * m4/missing.m4 (AM_MISSING_HAS_RUN): always quote the invocation (not just if $am_aux_dir contains space or tab), in case $am_aux_dir contains () or other metachars not rejected by AM_SANITY_CHECK; quoting with '...' suggested by Jim Meyering. * t/man6.sh (HELP2MAN): adjust grep since missing value is quoted now. * t/am-missing-prog.sh: likewise.
