There are many small bug fixes, and all the executables have been
revamp around autom4te. Autotest is also getting mature, but still
lacks some decent documentation. This is the main focus before the
release, the code should not change significantly.
Please, use it, test it, torture, like it.

NEWS:
** Requirements
Perl 5.005_03 or later is required: autom4te is written in Perl and is
needed by autoconf. autoheader, autoreconf, ifnames, and autoscan are
rewritten in Perl.
** Documentation
- AC_INIT
Argument requirements, output variables, defined macros.
- M4sugar, M4sh, Autotest
First sketch.
- Double quoting macros
AC_TRY_CPP, AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK and AC_TRY_RUN.
- Licensing
The Autoconf manual is now distributed under the terms of the GNU FDL.
** configure
- $LINENO
Now used instead of hard coded line numbers.
This eases the comparison of `configure's, and diminishes the
pressure over control version archives.
Automatic replacement for shells that don't support this feature.
- New output variables
@builddir@, @top_builddir@, @srcpath@, @top_srcpath@, @buildpath@,
@address@hidden
** Emacs
Autoconf and Autotest modes are provided.
** Executables
- autom4te
New, used by the Autoconf suite to cache and speed up most processing.
- --force, -f
Supported by autom4te, autoconf and autoheader.
- --include, -I
Replaces --autoconf-dir and --localdir in autoconf, autoheader,
autoupdate, and autoreconf.
- autoreconf
No longer passes --cygnus, --foreign, --gnits, --gnu, --include-deps:
automake options are to be given via AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
- autoreconf
Runs gettextize and libtoolize when appropriate.
- autoreconf
--m4dir is no longer supported.
** Bug fixes
- The top level $prefix is propagated to the AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS configures.
- AC_TRY_RUN
Under the user pressure, $? is finally available. Probably a mistake.
** C Macros
- AC_C_BIGENDIAN supports the cross-compiling case.
- AC_C_BIGENDIAN accepts ACTION-IF-TRUE, ACTION-IF-FALSE, and
ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN arguments. All are facultative, and the default
for ACTION-IF-TRUE is to define WORDS_BIGENDIAN like AC_C_BIGENDIAN
always did.
** Generic macros
- AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS, HEADERS, FILES, LINKS.
Provide the user with srcdir, ac_srcdir, ac_top_srcdir, ac_builddir,
ac_top_builddir, ac_srcpath, ac_top_srcpath, ac_buildpath,
ac_top_buildpath.
** Library macros
- AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R now sets STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, not HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R,
because POSIX 1003.1-200x draft 7 says strerror_r returns int, not char *.
ChangeLog entries:
2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
Version 2.52f.
2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* config/config.guess, config/config.sub, doc/standards.texi:
* config/lispdir.m4: Update from masters.
* configure.ac: Bump to 2.52f.
2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Set `$aclocal_flags' to ''.
Don't run aclocal when aclocal.m4 is not from aclocal.
From Ezra Peisach.
Don't run libtoolize and gettextize if --install is not given.
2001-11-01 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): _AS_CR_PREPARE needs to
be invoked before _AS_LINENO_PREPARE.
(_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use as_cr_digits and as_cr_alnum rather
than character ranges.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix NLS before
invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if
possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional
behavior.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above.
2001-10-31 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Do not surround body
with {}, as that triggers a bug in Bash 2.05.
(_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use Sed rather than
Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple
instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for
other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a
check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing
the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for
output and chmod failures.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document
the above.
2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* tests/Makefile.am (atconfig): Remove this target, Automake
handles it now.
2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Do not
AC_CONFIG_FILES(atlocal) as it means a file atlocal.in *must* be
provided, while it is optional.
* configure.ac: Adjust.
2001-10-26 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* NEWS, README, configure.ac, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm:
Require Perl 5.005_03 instead of just 5.005, as some tests fail
with 5.005_02.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document some
more LINENO gotchas, particularly with respect to the Awk+Sed hack.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): New macro.
(_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use it instead of shell eval, since
eval $LINENO is not portable in practice.
2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (backname): New.
2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* m4/: Remove, merged into...
* config/: here.
2001-10-23 Tim Van Holder <address@hidden>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention the problems with bash
2.05's use of ANSI quoting in its `set' builtin.
2001-10-22 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R):
Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.
Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to.
Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions):
Document the above changes. Also, document the fact that
AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R defines HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R.
* NEWS: Mention HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R -> STRERROR_R_CHAR_P.
2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): The name of
the executable was missing from the log.
2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): If destination is
unchanged, remove the source.
(&up_to_date_p): Don't be verbose, be debug.
* bin/autoreconf.in: No longer support --m4dir.
(&autoreconf): Display the full path of the configure.ac we are
studying.
Trace it only once.
Be sure to honor --force with gettextize.
Always run aclocal.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/autoheader.in ($localdir, $m4, $SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX):
Remove, dead.
* bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Do not run gettextize when
`intl' is already present, as it refuses unless --force.
(&parse_args): Use -I, --include instead of the old Autoconf
options.
($localdir, $autoconf_dir): Remove.
(@include): New.
(&maybe_autoreconf): New, to preserve $_ for File::Find.
2001-10-19 Jens Petersen <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_AWK): Prefer gawk to mawk.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Likewise.
2001-10-19 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Name the generated
file in @address@hidden
Don't mention `automatically' in addition to `generated'.
* tests/torture.at (#define header templates): Adjust.
2001-10-19 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/emacs/autoconf-mode.el, lib/emacs/autotest-mode.el: In a
comment, explain how to install automatic mode selection.
From Russ Allbery.
2001-10-19 Ezra Peisach <address@hidden>
* bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Display the path to the
configure.ac being studied.
2001-10-18 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast sizeof to unsigned
long, to work around a bug in the HP C compiler version HP92453-01
B.11.11.23709.GP.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_DIRNAME): Use 'dirname' if that works.
(AS_BASENAME_EXPR): New macro.
(AS_BASENAME_SED): Do not assume GNU sed semantics.
(AS_BASENAME): Use 'basename' if that works; then try 'expr';
and fall back on 'sed' only if the other two fail. This makes
AS_BASENAME act more like AS_DIRNAME.
(as_me): Shell-quote the argument of AS_BASENAME, in case $0
contains white space.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR):
Use AS_DIRNAME, since I think it's now DOS-friendly.
* tests/m4sh.at (DIRNAME_TEST): New arg $3.
Allow "dirname //FOO" to return either / or //, as POSIX allows
either behavior.
2001-10-10 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Recognize
`a_out.exe' for OpenVMS 7.1, DEC C 5.5 compiler, via GNV.

2001-09-30 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>

Don't use nested parenthesization. This patch was originally
suggested to bug-autoconf by Philippe De Muyter on 2000-05-28,
but somehow it didn't get incorporated then.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
Clarify remark about sed and nested parenthesization.
* lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF):
Report an error if the size cannot be determined even though
the type exists.

* tests/c.at (Extensions, C keywords)
(Broken/missing compilers, AC_PROG_CPP with warnings)
(AC_PROG_CPP without warnings, AC_PROG_CPP via CC)
(AC_PROG_CPP requires AC_PROG_CC): here and...
* tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): there.
* doc/autoconf.texi (autoconf Invocation): Fix the example:
AC_TRY_RUN is about compilation, not shell commands.
(Test Programs): AC_TRY_RUN works as used to be advertised.
2001-09-27 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix bugs spotted by
Raja R Harinath:
Be sure to detect when $LINENO always returns the same value.
Look for the original script, basename($0) is certainly not
enough.
Pass the CLI arguments to `$as_me.lineno'.
2001-09-25 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Dump the whole config.log.
Be sure the close and reopen the LOG fd before and after using tee

* tests/autom4te, tests/autoreconf, tests/autoupdate, tests/ifnames:
Remove.

2001-09-22 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
Rely on `$LINENO' when possible instead of `__oline__'.

`$LINENO' support replacement when not supported.
(_AS_CR_PREPARE, _AS_TR_CPP_PREPARE, _AS_TR_SH_PREPARE): Invoke
them explicitly to be sure they are not output before this section
(via m4_require). Cosmetic only.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
* lib/autoconf/programs.m4: Replace all the occurrences of
`__oline__' with `$LINENO'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document LINENO.
2001-09-21 Tim Van Holder <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FORK): Replaceded an 8-bit
character (u: -> ue) in a code comment.
(AC_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK): Only run 'ln -s' if we know
it works.
2001-09-21 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* Makefile.maint (AUTOM4TE): Neutralize autom4te.
Suggested by Jim Meyering.
2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <address@hidden>

* doc/autoconf.texi (File System Conventions): Clarify the use of
PATH_SEPARATOR.
(Special Shell Variables[PATH_SEPARATOR]): Ditto.

already have $file). Set output files to binary mode (helps avoid
CR issues on DOSish systems).
2001-09-19 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autotest/general.m4: Englishoes.
From Tim Van Holder and Alexey Mahotkin.
2001-09-18 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>

Also, update discussion of POSIX standard to reflect latest draft.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4:
(AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Also support negative values, down to LONG_MIN.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
Do not pass a first argument with leading '-'
to expr, by parenthesizing initial integers that might be negative.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_GETPGRP
now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
to getpgrp.
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
(AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to
getpgrp. This simpler test supports the revised documentation,
and is all that AC_FUNC_GETPGRP's users really need.
2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <$<>: New.
2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>

correctly.
Add test for AS_BASENAME.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
* tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
one line out...
* lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in
the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS invocation.
This also solves the name clash problems.
Don't set the package's ID.
* lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (version.m4): Revamp.
No longer to be shipped.

* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
* lib/autoconf/status.m4: Adjust.

the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
* lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
* tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
* tests/suite.at: ifnames is a victim.

(not int, as before). Check for output errors.
2001-09-17 Bruno Haible <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
Always include <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h>. Evaluate
the expression in an extra function before these includes. Call
fprintf "%d" only after ensuring the argument is of type 'int'.
Reported by Wayne Chapeskie <address@hidden>.
2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4
or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
when they don't exist.
* lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
need it.
* lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if
we don't need it.
* doc/autoconf.texi (AC_ISC_POSIX): Describe new behavior.
2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* tests/base.at, tests/m4sh.at: Be sure to issue the bangshe line

2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>

* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_append): Support a separator.
(m4_list_append): Remove.
Spread a few keywords in the Autoconf test suite.
2001-09-10 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't pass
PATH_SEPARATOR, let M4sh compute it.

related variables into `at_package_*'.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_VICTIMS): New.

2001-09-07 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>

excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:

4m.

New, extracted from main.
Use IO::File wherever possible.
(input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp.
Therefore be a quoted heredoc.
Don't invoke `_au_disable', since ac was not loaded, but just
`unm4.m4'.
