* automake: do not require @setfilename in Texinfo filesGavin Smith2019-09-021-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Texinfo no longer requires a @setfilename directive in each .texi file, so automake now also relaxes its restriction. * bin/automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Derive name of info file from name of input file if no @setfilename line occurs in the file. * t/txinfo-no-setfilename.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * NEWS: Mention it. Fixes automake bugs #36921 and #34201.

* install-sh: avoid (low risk) race in "/tmp"Pavel Raiskup2018-03-111-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ensure that nobody can cross privilege boundaries by pre-creating symlink on '$tmpdir' destination directory. Just testing 'mkdir -p' by creating "/tmp/ins$RANDOM-$$/d" is not safe because "/tmp" directory is usually world-writeable and "/tmp/ins$RANDOM-$$" content could be pretty easily guessed by attacker (at least for shells where $RANDOM is not supported). So, as the first step, create the "/tmp/ins$RANDOM-$$" without -p. This step would fail early if somebody wanted catch us. Systems that implement (and have enabled) fs.protected_symlinks kernel feature are not affected even without this commit.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change fixes automake bug#28160. Since AM_PYTHON_PATH macro takes no maximum version argument, there is no need to generate _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST dynamically, like what was previously done by the reverted commit 1d60fb72168e62d33fe433380af621de64e22f23. We could rely on M4 to generate this list statically however this is likely to be a complex solution that would not improve maintainability. * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add 'python3.7', 'python3.8', and 'python3.9'. * NEWS: Update.

* port elisp-compilation support to emacs-23.1 and newerJim Meyering2017-12-161-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In May of 2017, emacs.master support for using the long-deprecated byte-compile-dest-file function was removed, and that removal broke automake's elisp-compiling rule for any .el file not in the current directory. In emacs-23.1 (July 2009) byte-compile-dest-file-function became the recommended way to adjust the byte-compiler's destination. The removed functionality has been restored for Emacs-26, albeit with dissuasive diagnostics warning about the imminent removal of this functionality. It will be removed in Emacs-27. * lib/am/lisp.am (.el.elc): Use byte-compile-dest-file-function, rather than byte-compile-dest-file. Also, use "-f batch-byte-compile '$<'" rather than open-coding it, as suggested by Glenn Morris. * t/lisp-readonly-srcdir.sh: New file, to test for the above. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bugs fixed): Mention this problem.
* "make dist" did not depend on $(BUILT_SOURCES)Jim Meyering2017-11-281-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir-am): New intermediate target. Interpose this target between $(distdir) and its dependency on $(DISTFILES), so that we can ensure $(BUILT_SOURCES) are all created before we begin creating $(DISTFILES). * t/dist-vs-built-sources.sh: Test for this. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bugs fixed): Mention it. Assaf Gordon reported that "make dist" (after ./configure from a pristine clone of GNU hello) would fail due to the absence of configmake.h while compiling lib/localcharset.c. https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-hello/2014-03/msg00016.html
* Prefer https: URLsPaul Eggert2017-09-191-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In Gnulib, Emacs, etc. we are changing ftp: and http: URLs to use https:, to discourage man-in-the-middle attacks when downloading software. The attached patch propagates these changes upstream to Automake. This patch does not affect files that Automake is downstream of, which I'll patch separately. Althouth the resources are not secret, plain HTTP is vulnerable to malicious routers that tamper with responses from GNU servers, and this sort of thing is all too common when people in some other countries browse US-based websites. See, for example: Aceto G, Botta A, Pescapé A, Awan MF, Ahmad T, Qaisar S. Analyzing internet censorship in Pakistan. RTSI 2016. https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/RTSI.2016.7740626 HTTPS is not a complete solution here, but it can be a significant help. The GNU project regularly serves up code to users, so we should take some care here.
* mdate-sh: Ensure reproducible time outputReiner Herrmann2017-09-151-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change fixes automake bug#20314. 'mdate-sh' pretty-prints the modification time of a file. But it's output can vary depending on the timezone of the caller. Someone in timezone GMT-12 will get a different result (day) than someone in timezone GMT+12. As this output is also used to create/update stamp files, which influence the further build process, the build result can vary. * lib/mdate-sh: Set 'TZ' to UTC which ensures reproducible output. * NEWS: Announce bug fix.

* | automake: Shorter object file names under subdir-objectsThomas Martitz2017-07-061-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Combining the 'subdir-objects' option with target-specific flags had the consequence of producing long object file names. This was done to preventively ensure the uniqueness of object file names. We are now using shorter names by default, and handle long names when an actual conflict is detected. This will hopefully reduce the necessity of using the 'prog_SHORTNAME' facility. Example: previously: AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = subdir-objects bin_PROGRAMS += path/to/foo path_to_foo_CFLAGS = $(AM_CFLAGS) -g resulted in objects: sub/path_to_foo-foo.o now object file name is: sub/foo-foo.o * bin/automake.in (proglist, liblist, ltliblist) (dup_shortnames): New globals.

| * deps: 'subdir-object' option now works when foo_SOURCES contains $(var)Stefano Lattarini2015-01-061-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following a suggestions of Johan Kristensen, we have config.status use 'make' invocations rather than Makefile-parsing 'sed' hacks to bootstrap the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. To handle the inclusion of such files that are still missing when make is first we basically generate a temporary Makefile without these includes, and call 'make' on that Makefile. This fixes the serious bug bug#13928, which was an hard blocker to make the behavior mandated by the 'subdir-object' active by default (which we want to do in Automake 2.0). The issue has also been reported in bug#15919. * NEWS, THANKS: Update. * bin/automake.in (handle_languages): Add a trailing "marking" comment ("# am--include-marker") to the generated Makefile lines issuing 'include' directives for the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. Also rename the generated Makefile variable 'am__depfiles_maybe' to the clearer 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles'. Minor unrelated refactoring. * lib/am/configure.am: Adjust to account for the 'am__depfiles_maybe' -> 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles' renaming. * lib/am/depend.am: Add rules to generate a dummy version of all the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. * m4/depout.m4: Use make invocations rather than Makefile-parsing sed hacks to bootstrap the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. We still use some sed trickery in order to remove the inclusion of the still non existing .Po and .Plo files from the Makefile we invoke make upon; this is done stripping lines that contain the magic string "# am--include-marker". * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Given that now automake generates Makefiles containing include statements with trailing comment, adjust the checks done here to make sure $MAKE support that; e.g., "include foo.mk # comment" rather than just "include foo.mk".

An important example of this are *generated* makefile fragments included at Automake time in Makefile.am. A basic example: # -*- Makefile.am -*- $(srcdir)/fragment.am: $(srcdir)/data.txt $(srcdir)/preproc.sh cd $(srcdir) && $(SHELL) preproc.sh <data.txt >fragment.am include $(srcdir)/fragment.am ... If the use forgot to add data.txt and/or preproc.sh in the distribution tarball, "make distcheck" would have erroneously succeeded! The reason is that, while $(srcdir)/data.txt does not exist, make also looks in $(srcdir)/$(srcdir)/data.txt, and in the distcheck-issued VPATH build where $(srcdir) is '..', that file exists, as it is part of the original development directory. * t/distdir.am (distcheck): Adjust to have the build directory be '$(distdir)/_build/sub' rather than just '$(distdir)/_build'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Such errors could take place when the main makefile included too many sub-makefiles, making $(MAKEFILE_LIST) too long and causing the recipes $(am__is_gnu_make) to exceed the shell's command-line length limits. This is not a theoretical issue: it could happen for projects having lots of C/C++ sources and using automatic dependency tracking, which created an included .Po sub-makefile for each of such sources. Fixes http://debbugs.gnu.org/18744 * lib/am/header-vars.am (am__is_gnu_make): Fix the logic to avoid the use of $(MAKEFILE_LIST). * NEWS: Update.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This used to be the case until Automke 1.13, but we broke it in Automake 1.14 (see commit v1.13.1-71-gf78b0f0).

* | init: ensure $ac_aux_dir is defined before being usedStefano Lattarini2014-04-221-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we use '$ac_aux_dir' to define '$am_aux_dir', we need to ensure the former has been initialized before we try to define the latter, otherwise the definition: am_aux_dir=`cd $ac_aux_dir && pwd` will set '$am_aux_dir' to '$HOME', likely causing weird and unexpected behaviours. This change fixes automake bug#15981. * m4/auxdir.m4 (AM_AUX_DIR_EXPAND): AC_REQUIRE expansion of 'AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR_DEFAULT'. Fix redundant comment and AC_PREREQ, add extra quoting around '$ac_aux_dir'. * t/auxdir-pr15981.sh: New test. * t/auxdir-cc-pr15981.sh: Likewise. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add them. * THANKS, NEWS: Update. * bin/automake.in: Fix a harmless typo in comments, that I happened to notice while writing this patch.
