* Major changes in Autoconf 2.59 -*- outline -*- Released 2003-11-04, by Akim Demaille ** ac_abs_builddir etc. Absolute paths were actually relative in 2.58. * Major changes in Autoconf 2.58 Released 2003-11-04, by Akim Demaille ** core.* core.* files are no longer removed, as they may be valid user files. ** autoreconf and auxiliary directory Autoreconf creates the auxiliary directory if needed. This is especially useful for initial "bootstrapping" of fresh CVS checkouts. ** AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR Use this macro to declare the directory for local m4 macros for aclocal. ** AC_LIBOBJS No longer includes twice the same file in LIBOBJS if invoked multiple times. ** AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS The directory for its first argument is automatically created. For instance, with AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS([src/modules.hh], [...]) $top_builddir/src/ is created if needed. ** Autotest and local.at The optional file local.at is always included in Autotest test suites. ** Warnings The warnings are always issued, including with cached runs. This became a significant problem since aclocal and automake can run autoconf behind the scene. ** autoheader warnings The warnings of autoheader can be turned off, using --warning. For instance, -Wno-obsolete disables the complaints about acconfig.h and other deprecated constructs. ** New macros AC_C_RESTRICT, AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT, AC_LANG_ASSERT, AC_LANG_WERROR, AS_SET_CATFILE. ** AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST Works again. ** AC_FUNC_MKTIME Now checks that mktime is the inverse of localtime. ** Improve DJGPP portability The Autoconf tools and configure behave better under DJGPP. ** Present But Cannot Be Compiled New FAQ section dedicated to the mystic configure: WARNING: pi.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: pi.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: pi.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result messages. ** Concurrent executions of autom4te autom4te now locks its internal files, which enables concurrent executions of autom4te, likely to happen if automake, autoconf, autoheader etc. are run simultaneously. ** Libtool Use of Libtool 1.5 and higher is encouraged. Compatibility with Libtool pre-1.4 is not checked. ** Autotest Testsuites no longer rerun failed tests in verbose mode; instead, failures are logged while the test is run. In addition, expected failures can be marked as such.

2002-11-15Update to 2.56. Set MAINTAINER to me.wiz3-13/+9
* Major changes in Autoconf 2.56 -*- outline -*- Released November 15th, 2002. One packaging problem fixed (config/install-sh was not executable). * Major changes in Autoconf 2.55 Released November 14th, 2002. Release tips: Have your configure.ac checked by autoscan ("autoscan"). Try the warning options ("autoreconf -fv -Wall"). ** Documentation - AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_HEADERS More information on proper use. - Writing Test Programs This sections explains how to write good test sources to use with AC_COMPILE_IFELSE etc. It documents AC_LANG_PROGRAMS and so forth. - AC_FOO_IFELSE vs. AC_TRY_FOO Explains why Autoconf moves from AC_TRY_COMPILE etc. to AC_COMPILE_IFELSE and AC_LANG_PROGRAM etc. ** autoreconf - Is more robust to different Gettext installations. - Produces messages (when --verbose) to be understood by Emacs' compile mode. - Supports -W/--warnings. - -m/--make Once the GNU Build System reinstalled, run `./config.status --recheck && ./config.status && make' if possible. ** autom4te - Supports --cache, and --no-cache. - ~/.autom4te.cfg makes it possible to disable the caching mechanism (autom4te.cache). See `Customizing autom4te' in the documentation. ** config.status Supports --quiet. ** Obsolete options Support for the obsoleted options -m, --macrodir, -l, --localdir is dropped in favor of the safer --include/--prepend-include scheme. ** Macros - New macros AC_COMPILER_IFELSE, AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC, AC_HEADER_STDBOOL, AC_LANG_CONFTEST, AC_LANG_SOURCE, AC_LANG_PROGRAM, AC_LANG_CALL, AC_LANG_FUNC_TRY_LINK, AC_MSG_FAILURE, AC_PREPROC_IFELSE. - Obsoleted Obsoleted macros are kept for Autoconf backward compatibility, but should be avoided in configure.ac. Running autoupdate is advised. AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST. - AC_DEFINE/AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED We have to stop using the old compatibility scheme --that tried to avoid useless backslashes-- because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int], [Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not otherwise available.]) We have to quote the single quotes and backslashes with \. The old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore did not quote the single quote... Failure. Hence, Autoconf 2.54 is not compatible with Libtool. Autoconf 2.55 is, but in some cases might produce more \ than wanted. Please, note that in the future the same problem will happen with AC_MSG_*: use `autoreconf -f -Wall'. ** Bug Fixes - Portability of the Autoconf package to Solaris. - Spurious warnings caused by config.status. This bug is benign, but painful: on some systems (typically FreeBSD), warnings such as: config.status: creating Makefile mv: Makefile: set owner/group (was: 1357/0): Operation not permitted could be issued. This is fixed. - Parallel Builds Simultaneous executions of config.status are possible again. - Precious variables accumulation config.status could stack several copies of the precious variables assignments. ** Plans for 2.57 - ./configure <host> The compatibility hooks with the old scheme will be completely removed. Please, advice/use `--build', `--host', and `--target' only. - AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_HEADERS The tests will be stricter, please make sure your invocations are valid. - shell functions Shell functions will gradually be introduced, probably starting with Autotest. If you know machines which are in use that you suspect *not* to support shell functions, please run the test suite of Autoconf 2.55 on it, and report the results to bug-autoconf@gnu.org. - AC_MSG_* Special characters in AC_MSG_* need not be quoted. Currently, Autoconf has heuristics to decide when a string is escaped, or has to be escaped. This scheme is fragile, and will be removed; the only risk is uglified messages. Please, run `autoreconf -f -Wall' to find occurrences that will be affected.

2001-08-26update autoconf to 2.52. Some changes:hubertf7-66/+54
- Quadrigraphs This feature was present in autoconf 2.50 but was not documented. For example, `@<:@' is translated to `[' just before output. This is useful when writing strings that contain unbalanced quotes, or other hard-to-quote constructs. - m4_pattern_forbid, m4_pattern_allow - Using autoscan to maintain a configure.ac. - Fixed Fortran name-mangling and link tests on a number of systems, e.g. NetBSD; see AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN, below. - cross-compilation $build defaults to `config.guess`, $host to $build, and then $target to $host. Cross-compilation is a global status of the package, it no longer depends upon the current language. Cross compilation is enabled iff the user specified `--host'. `configure' now fails if it can't run the executables it compiles, unless cross-compilation is enabled. - Cache file The cache file is disabled by default. The new options `--config-cache', `-C' set the cache to `config.cache'. ... and many others, esp. bugfixes. Check the docs!

To cite announce on freshmeat for Changes: Various bugfixes and enhancements collected during the past two years since the last release. Way too many to mention them all here. The ChangeLog is included in the package.
1998-11-19Remove RUN_DEPENDS from package Makefiles, and replace it with an ordinaryagc1-2/+2
DEPENDS definition.
1998-08-20The Grand Homepagification:tsarna1-1/+2
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for the home page of the software if it has one. - The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the README.html files. - pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same section.
