* python: Generate python interpreter listMathieu Lirzin2018-02-041-4/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST is used by AM_PYTHON_PATH to autodetect Python programs whose names correspond to a specific Python version (e.g. python3.6). Previously this list was updated manually. The automatic support of newer versions (up to 4.0 excluded) fixes bug#28160. * m4/python.m4 (am_py_min_ver, am_py_max_ver): New macros. (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Generate this list instead of hard-coding it. Implementation is taken from GNU Pyconfigure.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | deps: 'subdir-object' option now works when foo_SOURCES contains $(var)Stefano Lattarini2015-01-062-77/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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". Also refactor and adjust to leave better debugging info in config.log. * t/postproc.sh: Rename ... * t/depend-postproc.sh: ... to this, and adjust and enhance. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Adjust. (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh', which is now succeeding. * t/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh: Simplify slightly, now that we expect it to pass. * t/depcomp8a.sh: Adjust grepping check to account for the changes in the generated Makefile, and tp be somewhat more robust in light of possible future modifications. * t/depcomp8b.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj11b.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj11c.sh: Likewise. * t/extra-sources.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-depend-grep.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-depend-cxx.sh: Add a command to help debugging in case of test failure.

| * When computing lispdir, don't load emacs site wide init file.Andrew Burgess2014-12-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When computing the lispdir emacs was previously invoked with the '-q' option to avoid loading the users initialisation files, however, the site wide initialisation file was still loaded, in some cases this can cause emacs to hang, with the result that a configure can also hang. The lisp code that aclocal causes to be executed reduces the load-path list (in emacs) to empty. The load-path is used by emacs to find packages which it wants to load. Currently, if emacs tries to auto load a package during shut down, and the package is not found, then emacs will hang. This does seem like an emacs bug, but protecting against this in aclocal is simply a case of not loading the site wide initialisation file. In this patch then the '-q' option to emacs is replaced with '-Q', this has the same, the '-Q' option is similar to '-q --no-site-file --no-splash'. * doc/automake.texi (Hard-Coded Install Paths): Update explanation of emacs code used to get lispdir. * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Update emacs flags.

This behaviour is highly inconsistent with that of the other macros related to C compiler checks -- which test only $CC. It can also cause unwarranted uses of the 'compile' script on systems where the default 'cc' is inferior, but the user is compiling with a proper, different compiler (e.g., gcc). ** Practical problems with our previous implementation of C support m4 macros in Automake: - AM_PROG_AR must now be called *before* AC_PROG_CC; this wasn't the case before, and it turns out there are packages in the wild that relied on the old behaviour. - The cross-referenced requirements and macro rewrites juggled among AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CC_C_O and AM_PROG_CC_C_O caused warnings in autoconf; for example, in our test 't/libobj3.sh', we could see warnings like these (here slightly tweaked for legibility): configure.ac:5: AC_REQUIRE: `AC_PROG_CC' expanded before required autoconf/c.m4:567: AC_PROG_CC_C_O is expanded from... autoconf/c.m4:429: AC_LANG_COMPILER(C) is expanded from... autoconf/lang.m4:329: AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE is expanded from... autoconf/general.m4:2606: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE is expanded from... m4sugar/m4sh.m4:639: AS_IF is expanded from... autoconf/general.m4:2031: AC_CACHE_VAL is expanded from... autoconf/general.m4:2052: AC_CACHE_CHECK is expanded from... aclocal.m4:70: AM_PROG_AR is expanded from... configure.ac:5: the top level ** Fix all of that: We fix all of the described issues with a new internal m4 macro _AM_PROG_CC_C_O (inspired to, but not based on, AC_PROG_CC_C_O) that gets tacked on to AC_PROG_CC automatically (this is done in the Automake-generated aclocal.m4) and that takes care of checking and adjusting '$CC' for "-c -o" support. The macro AM_PROG_CC_C_O is still present, but is now just a thin wrapper around such Automake-enhanced AC_PROG_CC. It is worth noting that the present patch causes three slight *backward-incompatibilities*: 1. The name cache variable used by AM_PROG_CC_C_O is no longer computed (at configure runtime!) from the content of '$CC', but is statically defined as 'am_cv_prog_cc_c_o'. 2. 'cc' is no longer checked by AM_PROG_CC_C_O, only '$CC' is. 3. AM_PROG_CC_C_O no longer AC_DEFINE the C preprocessor symbol 'NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O'. Given however that the third change can easily be worked around, that the first two changes can be legitimately seen as bug fixes, and that the new semantics introduced by such changes will simplify the transition to Automake 2.0 (when the 'subdir-objects' will always be enabled unconditionally), we believe they are acceptable to be shipped with Automake 1.14. With this patch, we also revert some of the testsuite adjustments done in previous commit v1.13.2-178-g9877109 of 2013-05-24 (compile: rewrite AC_PROG_CC with AM_PROG_CC_C_O contents). Such adjustments are no longer needed. * m4/minuso.m4 (_AM_PROG_CC_C_O): New internal macro, basically and adjusted version of a merge between Autoconf-provided AC_PROG_CC_C_O and our old implementation of AM_PROG_CC_C_O. (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Redefine as a simple wrapper around AC_PROG_CC. * m4/init.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Append _AM_PROG_CC_C_O, not AM_PROG_CC_C_O, to the pre-existing expansion of this macro. * m4/ar-lib.m4 (AM_PROG_AR): No longer require it to be expanded after AC_PROG_CC. * t/aclocal-deps.sh: Move AC_PROG_CC invocation after AC_PROG_RANLIB and AM_PROG_AR invocations.

Not only this change simplifies the code a little, but has the welcome collateral effect of making automatic dependency tracking work better with compilers that doesn't grasp the '-c' and '-o' options together. Issues in that setup have been caught by several failures in the target 'check-no-cc-c-o'. Unfortunately, this change has less welcome collateral effects: 1. AM_PROG_AR must now be called *after* AC_PROG_CC; 2. Autoconf emits extra warnings when used with Automake-generated aclocal.m4. These are unacceptable regressions for a release, but since we are going to fix them soon enough in a follow-up patch (surely to be applied before Automake 1.14 is released) we don't worry too much. * m4/init.m4: Redefine AC_PROG_CC early, to automatically invoke AM_PROG_CC_C_O as well. Accordingly, drop now-unneeded "automagical" AM_PROG_CC_C_O expansion at later time (which took place thanks to a AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE call). * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Ensure the expansion of the body of this macro takes place with C as "current Autoconf language" (use AC_LANG_PUSH/AC_LANG_POP). * m4/ar-lib.m4 (AM_PROG_AR): Likewise.

* Use AC_DEFUN_ONCE to define AM_PROG_CC_C_ONick Bowler2013-05-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If AM_PROG_CC_C_O is expanded multiple times, and the compiler does not support -c and -o together, each expansion of the macro will prepend the compile script to CC. This can result in the compile script invoking the compile script, which at best pointless and silly. Fortunately, there does not appear to be any serious problems as the first compile invocation strips out -o options, causing subsequent invocations of the script to merely exec their arguments. Other than fixing the above, this should not normally cause any changes to the resulting configure script, except in the (hopefully rare) case where AM_PROG_CC_C_O is directly expanded (i.e., *not* using AC_REQUIRE) in the body of a macro defined with AC_DEFUN. In that case, the use of AC_DEFUN_ONCE may cause the expansion of AM_PROG_CC_C_O to appear earlier in the configure script. * m4/minuso.m4: Change the definition of AM_PROG_CC_C_O to use AC_DEFUN_ONCE, avoiding problems caused by multiple expansions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is convenient to do, now that we have improved "relative directory" support with the '%reladir%' (a.k.a. '%D%') and '%canon_reladir%' (a.k.a.

This move also satisfy our philosophy of using new Automake features in our own build system, as a way of facilitating early discovery of possible bugs or interface warts. * Makefile.am: Break up ... * doc/Makefile.inc, lib/Automake/Makefile.inc, lib/Makefile.inc, lib/am/Makefile.inc, m4/Makefile.inc, t/Makefile.inc): ... in this new included fragments.

POSIX 1988 'ustar' format is defined with *fixed-size* fields. There is notably a 21 bits limit (2097151) for the UID and the GID. Tom Rini tom_rini@mentor.com says (in bug#8343): When the user has a UID or GID that is larger than the ustar format supports, pax does not error out gracefully in some cases (FC13). Marc Herbert <marc.herbert@intel.com> adds (in bug#8343): When "configure" is run by a user with an UID bigger than 21 bits, BSD pax 3.4 aborts when trying to create the 'conftest.tar' test archive and leaves an empty or corrupted conftest.tar file behind. In the next step, pax tries to extract this incomplete or corrupted archive and this *** hangs the whole ./configure script ***. Note: GNU cpio 2.9 pretends to pass the test but it is a LIE: it silently truncates any big UID to its lower 21 bits. I don't know what can be the consequences of this lie. I think there is currently a design issue in automake/m4/tar.m4 considering that a ustar archive should should *never* succeed when ./configure is run from a big user ID. Months later, Petr Hracek <phracek@redhat.com> reports a similar issue (in bug#13588) for Fedora 17: I am trying to solve problem in case a user is created with big UID and during configuration pax hangs with message ATTENTION! pax archive volume change required. Ready for archive volume: 1 Input archive name or "." to quit pax. Archive name > and needs user interaction. Reference: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843376> Time to fix this issue, on the line of a preliminary patch provided by Petr Hracek in bug#13588. The final patch ended up being remarkably different from that original proposition, though. * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): If the UID or GID of the current user is too high (> 2097151), the 'ustar' format cannot work. Adjust checks accordingly.
