2012-09-01maint: fix one stray reference to src/Makefile.amStefano Lattarini
* build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: In heading comments here.
2012-09-01maint: fix and simplify maintainer checksStefano Lattarini
Some of them can be simplified after the previous changes, some of them have been downright broken by them, and need fixing. * src/local.mk: Adjust some comments. (EXTRA_DIST): Avoid SPACE-TAB sequences. (src/dircolors.h, src/fs.h src/fs-is-local.h): Avoid 8-SPACES indentation. (_sc_check-AUTHORS): Move ... * cfg.mk (sc_check-AUTHORS): ... here (superseding the old rule with the same name, that was just a recursive invocation to it). Adjust the paths of the invoked coreutils programs, to account for the fact that this rule now runs in the top-level build dir, not in the 'src/' subdir. Other minor cosmetic adjustments. (ALL_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Remove 'sc_option_desc_uppercase' and 'sc_man_file_correlation', since they no longer entail any recursive make invocation. (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Remove dependency from $(all_programs): it isn't actually needed. (check-programs-vs-x): Likewise. Also, fix heading comments to truly reflect what this check does. (all-progs-but-lbracket): Strip the 'src/' prefix from each entry in the list of programs; this avoids a spurious failure in the 'check-programs-vs-x' recipe. (.PHONY): No need to list targets 'sc_man_file_correlation' and 'sc_option_desc_uppercase': they are automatically declared phony by 'maint.mk', being recognized as syntax checks.
2012-09-01maint: remove unused target 'install-root'Stefano Lattarini
It was unneeded and broken since the removal of 'su' from GNU coreutils, in commit v8.17-16-g928dd73 of 2012-06-06, "su: remove program (util-linux is now the best source for it)". * Makefile.am (install-root): Remove. (ALL_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Update.
2012-09-01maint: improve remake rules for maintainersStefano Lattarini
This is a follow up on today's commit v8.19-60-g4f2e62b". * Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/m4/cu-progs.m4, $(srcdir)/src/cu-progs.mk): New, generate these files from the 'build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh', the same way it's done from the bootstrap script. * bootstrap.conf (bootstrap_post_import_hook): Add comment about the necessity to keep those new rules synced with the commands here. Enhance those commands so to that the generated files are set read-only.
2012-09-01build: fix generation of manpages for programs not built by defaultStefano Lattarini
* src/local.mk (dist-hook): Don't use this to ensure all the programs, even the ones disabled by default or by the user, are built (doing so is required to ensure the distributed manpages are properly built). This would build those programs too late anyway, causing errors like: $ make dist make dist-xz am__post_remove_distdir='@:' make[1]: Entering directory `~/src/coreutils' GEN man/arch.1 help2man: can't get '--help' info from man/arch.td/arch make[1]: *** [man/arch.1] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `~/src/coreutils' make: *** [dist] Error 2 Instead, ... * man/local.mk (extra_man_x, extra_man_1): define these ... ($(extra_man_1)): ... and make this depend on $(all_programs). (EXTRA_DIST): Adjust. Adjust some comments as well.
2012-09-01build: don't use recursive make to build the 'src' subdirectoryStefano Lattarini
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove 'src'. Ensure '.' is listed before 'tests' and 'gnulib-tests'. (dist-hook): Adjust: we must now tweak the top-level Makefile.in in $(distdir), not the one in the 'src/' subdir (which is gone). (include): The '$(top_srcdir)/src/local.mk' file. * build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: Adjust the generation of the automake input fragment. * tests/Makefile.am (.built-programs): Adjust. * cfg.mk (all_programs): Remove this convenience rule; it's no longer needed, now that we can rely directly on the contents of $(all_programs). (sc_option_desc_uppercase, check-programs-vs-x:): Adjust lists of prerequisites accordingly. (all-progs-but-lbracket): Simplify definition accordingly. * configure.ac ($OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS): Adjust definition. ($OPTIONAL_PKGLIB_PROGS): Likewise. ($NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): Tweak definition, for consistency. (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove 'src/Makefile'. * src/Makefile.am: Rename ... * src/local.mk: ... like this, with a lot of adjustments. In addition ... (all_programs): ... remove this now-unneeded convenience target.
2012-09-01build: refactor how lists of coreutils programs are definedStefano Lattarini
This is in preparation of future changes. Still, this patch leaves the build system in a better shape; true, with more indirections, but also with less convoluted and brittle hacks. Unfortunately, this commit also makes some rebuild rules incomplete; that will son be fixed by follow-up patches. * build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: New, generates autoconf and automake input fragments that define "lists" of all coreutils programs, with further distinctions about how and when these programs should be built (by default; if the system is capable enough; only if the user asks for them explicitly). This is useful to avoid duplicating the definitions of these lists among several files (at least 'configure.ac' 'src/Makefile.am'); such duplication had proved a source of inconsistencies and bugs in the past. And the pre-existing way to avoid such duplication, as implemented in 'configure.ac' before this patch, was overly complex and brittle. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute the new script. * bootstrap.conf (bootstrap_post_import_hook): Run the new script to generate 'm4/cu-progs.m4' and 'src/cu-progs.mk'. * .gitignore: Ignore those files. * configure.ac: Include 'm4/cu-progs.m4', and decidedly simplify most of the program lists definition and processing accordingly. * src/Makefile.am: Similarly include 'src/cu-progs.mk', containing definition of variables $(default__progs), $(no_install__progs) and $(build_if_possible__progs). Accordingly ... (no_install__progs, build_if_possible__progs): ... remove. (EXTRA_DIST): Adjust definition. Adjust a comment.
2012-09-01maint: add our 'bootstrap_post_import_hook' functionStefano Lattarini
This is in preparation of future changes. * bootstrap.conf (bootstrap_post_import_hook): New, will be executed by bootstrap after gnulib-tool but before the autotools. Move creation of dummy ChangeLog into it.
2012-08-31build: work with new glibc when not optimizingEric Blake
Starting with glibc 2.15, the system headers refuse to compile unconditional use of FORTIFY_SOURCE if optimization is disabled but -Werror is in effect. * configure.ac (FORTIFY_SOURCE): Make conditional.
2012-08-31scripts: fix the Signed-off-by:-prohibiting hook to actually workJim Meyering
* scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Fix new test: we're searching a multi-line buffer, so add the //m modifier.
2012-08-31maint: make required gettext version consistentStefano Lattarini
* bootstrap.conf ($buildreq): Require gettext >= 0.18.1, consistently with the call to AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION in configure.ac.
2012-08-31maint: get rid of obsolete script 'cvsu'Stefano Lattarini
It was useful only back when coreutils used CVS as its version control system. * build-aux/cvsu: Delete. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove it. * cfg.mk: Remove the two exemptions for this removed file.
2012-08-31build: don't use '$<' in non-suffix rulesStefano Lattarini
* src/Makefile.am (fs-def): Here: it's not portable to some non-GNU make implementations.
2012-08-31maint: more uses of $(ASSORT)Stefano Lattarini
* src/Makefile.am (fs-kernel-magic, fs-magic): Here, instead of inlining its expansion "LC_ALL=C sort".
2012-08-31maint: remove unused variable in src/Makefile.amStefano Lattarini
* src/Makefile.am (editpl): This.
2012-08-31build: don't use foo_LDADD if there's no foo programStefano Lattarini
For example, instead of factoring out the extra linker flags needed by 'cp', 'mv' ind 'install' into a '$(copy_LDADD)' variable, factor them out in a '$(copy_ldadd)' variable. Partly a minor cleanup, partly a preparation for future changes. * src/Makefile.am (copy_LDADD): Rename ... (copy_ldadd): ... like this. (remove_LDADD): Rename ... (remove_ldadd): ... like this. All uses adjusted. Some comments updated.
2012-08-31build: some refactorings in cfg.mkStefano Lattarini
Partly a minor cleanup, partly a preparation for future changes. * Makefile.am (all_programs): Rename ... (all-progs-but-lbracket): ... like this, and re-define it to expand at make time rather than only at recipe time (i.e., using $(shell ...) instead of `...`). (check-programs-vs-x): Adjust.
2012-08-31build: move definition of 'all_programs' in cfg.mkStefano Lattarini
* Makefile.am: Move definition of target 'all_programs' from here ... * cfg.mk: ... to here, which is the only file where it is used.
2012-08-31build: reenable just-moved/broken syntax-check ruleJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Now that this rule lives in cfg.mk, we must search man/*.1, not "*.1". Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
2012-08-31maint: fixup: don't try to distribute a now-removed fileStefano Lattarini
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Drop 'check.mk', which has been removed (being merged into 'tests/Makefile.am') by recent changes.
2012-08-31doc: escape double quotes in autotools-install --helpErik Auerswald
* scripts/autotools-install: Fix --help so that we actually print the double quotes around "make check", in two places.
2012-08-31scripts: add autotools-install, for those stuck with outdated toolsJim Meyering
* scripts/autotools-install: New script, so you can always build from git-cloned sources, even when they require bleeding edge m4, autoconf, automake, etc.
2012-08-31build: fix syntax-check rules broken by test-added .sh/pl suffixesBernhard Voelker
* cfg.mk: We exempt a few test files that would otherwise trigger false-positive matches in syntax-check rules. The recent change that added a .sh or .pl suffix to each test script made it so some of the exclusion regexps would no longer match. Include the required \.sh suffix in each such regexp, too.
2012-08-30tests: get rid of the 'shell-or-perl' auxiliary scriptStefano Lattarini
It's now easier and faster to simply run the perl ans shell test scripts directly with the appropriate interpreter and options. * tests/shell-or-perl: Delete. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove it. (SH_LOG_COMPILER): Re-define to invoke the correct shell. (PL_LOG_COMPILER): Re-define to invoke the correct perl interpreter ... (TESTSUITE_PERL_OPTIONS): ... with the correct options. (XPL_LOG_COMPILER): Use those options instead of inlining their expansion. (LOG_COMPILER): Delete, no longer needed.
2012-08-30tests: add .sh and .pl suffixes to shell and perl tests, respectivelyStefano Lattarini
Not only this shrinks the size of the generated Makefile (from > 6300 lines to ~3000), but will allow further simplifications in future changes. * tests/Makefile.am (TEST_EXTENSIONS): Add '.sh' and '.pl'. (PL_LOG_COMPILER, SH_LOG_COMPILER): New, still defined simply to $(LOG_COMPILER) for the time being. (TESTS, root_tests): Adjust as described. * All tests: Rename as described.
2012-08-30tests: detect missing perl at configure runtimeStefano Lattarini
* configure.ac (AM_CONDITIONAL): Set the conditional 'HAVE_PERL' to true if the configure-time checks (as run by gl_PERL) have been able to find a working perl. * tests/no-perl: New script, report a diagnostic about "missing perl" and exit with status 77. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute it. (TESTSUITE_PERL): New, define to '$(PERL)' if a perl interpreter has been found at configure time (i.e., if the 'HAVE_PERL' automake conditional is true), and to '$(srcdir)/no-perl' otherwise. (LOG_COMPILER): Use $(TESTSUITE_PERL) instead of $(PERL). (XPL_LOG_COMPILER): Likewise. * tests/shell-or-perl: Simplify: no need to actually check whether perl is working.
2012-08-30tests: avoid use of '-T' in shebang line to enable perl taint modeStefano Lattarini
* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Rename ... * tests/rm/fail-eperm.xpl: ... like this * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust. (TEST_EXTENSIONS): New, list '.xpl'. (XPL_TEST_LOGS): New, run a perl test in tainted mode. * tests/shell-or-perl: Simplify this script: we no longer need to parse the shebang line and adjust the flags in the perl invocation accordingly.
2012-08-30build: require Automake >= 1.11.2Stefano Lattarini
Now that we use AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, we must require Automake >= 1.11.2. * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump version requirement to 1.11.2. * bootstrap.conf ($buildreq): Likewise.
2012-08-30tests: prefer AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT over TESTS_ENVIRONMENTStefano Lattarini
The latter should be reserved for user overrides. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Rename ... (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): ... like this.
2012-08-30tests: merge tests/check.mk into tests/Makefile.amStefano Lattarini
The separation has become unnecessary after all the ancient 'tests/*/Makefile.am' makefiles have been merged into the "more-top-level" one 'tests/Makefile.am'. * tests/check.mk: Merge ... * tests/Makefile.am: ... in here. Some comments tweaking while at it.
2012-08-30build: enable the 'subdir-objects' Automake option globallyStefano Lattarini
This is not strictly required now (it will be once we make more parts of the coreutils build system non-recursive), but enabling it early helps to ensure that we don't unwittingly introduce any incompatibility or subtle breakage later. * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Add 'subdir-objects'.
2012-08-30maint: update gitignore entriesStefano Lattarini
* doc/.gitinore: Here, adding the '.dirstamp' file generated by the Texinfo rules.
2012-08-30build: factor out a little more re list of *.texi filesJim Meyering
We may well want to switch from checking all *.texi to checking only version-controlled .texi files, so encapsulate this concept in one place. * doc/local.mk (doc_srcdir): Delete. Use this instead: (texi_files): Define. All usages adjusted.
2012-08-30maint: adjust syntax check 'sc_option_desc_uppercase'Stefano Lattarini
* cfg.mk (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Here, by grafting the 'man/' prefix to the manpages obtained from $(NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT) and listed as prerequisites for this rule.
2012-08-30maint: adjust syntax check 'check-x-vs-1'Stefano Lattarini
* cfg.mk (check-x-vs-1): Here, by stripping 'man/' prefix from $(dist_man1_MANS) entries before comparing them with the list of expected programs.
2012-08-30maint: move man-related syntax checks in cfg.mkStefano Lattarini
This is more natural, now that the top-level Makefile has access to all the variables and rules once defined only in 'man/Makefile.am' * man/local.mk (all_programs, sc_option_desc_uppercase, sc_man_file_correlation check-x-vs-1, check-programs-vs-x): Move from here ... * cfg.mk: ... to here. Adjust some comments in the process.
2012-08-30build: don't use recursive make to build the 'man' subdirectoryStefano Lattarini
* Makefile.am: Include 'man/local.mk'. (SUBDIRS): Remove 'man'. * configure.ac ($MAN): Adjust so that each of its entries has a leading 'man/' component. (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove 'man/Makefile'. * man/Makefile.am: Rename ... * man/local.mk: ... like this. With further adjustments: each 'foo.1' target renamed like 'man/foo.1', each '../src/foo.c' dependency as 'src/foo.c', and each '$(srcdir)' usage as '$(srcdir)/man'. Also ... (mandep): Adjust, removing the leading '../' component. Several whitespace adjustments while at it. (ASSORT): Remove, it's already defined in the top-level Makefile.am. * cfg.mk (sc_option_desc_uppercase, sc_man_file_correlation): Remove the associated recipes, they are now directly available from the included 'man/local.mk'. Actually, the other changes in this commit have made these recipes instable and not completely correct, but that will be fixed in later changes.
2012-08-30build: rework some recipes in man/Makefile.am, for future changesStefano Lattarini
This change is merely required to make future changes easier. In particular, since we are going to merge the contents of 'man/Makefile.am' into the top-level Makefile, we need to avoid conflicts with the rules and variables in 'dist-check.mk', and to prepare for changes in the value of the '$*' variable as used in the recipe of the '.x -> .1' suffix rule. * man/Makefile.am (t, mapped_name): Delete, inlining their use ... (.1.x): ... in the recipe of this suffix rule. Other adjustments to prepare to changes in the value of the '$*' automatic variable. While at it, made more resilient about unlikely but possible failure. Adjust and reorder few comments.
2012-08-30build: provide convenience target 'all_programs' also at top-levelStefano Lattarini
This will be mostly useful in future changes. * Makefile.am (all_programs): New, simply work by delegating to the same-named target in the 'src/' subdirectory. * cfg.mk (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Take advantage of it. (sc_man_file_correlation): Likewise.
2012-08-30build: make a rule less dependent on exact source tree layoutStefano Lattarini
This is mostly a preparatory change in view of future ones. * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use '$(abs_top_builddir)/src' to access the 'src' directory.
2012-08-30build: rely on VPATH capabilities in man/MakefileStefano Lattarini
* man/Makefile.am: In all the 'foo.1' targets, no need to depend explicitly on '$(srcdir)/foo.x': the '.x.1' suffix rule takes care of that automatically.
2012-08-30maint: typofix: s/it's/its/Stefano Lattarini
* man/Makefile.am: Here.
2012-08-30build: rename common_dep -> mandep in man/MakefileStefano Lattarini
This is mostly a preparatory refactoring in view of future changes. * man/Makefile.am (common_dep): Rename ... (mandep): ... like this. All usages adjusted.
2012-08-30build: fix a stray usage of uninitialized $(ME)Stefano Lattarini
* man/Makefile.am (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Here.
2012-08-30build: add an explanatory commentStefano Lattarini
* man/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Describe portability issues of the idiom we now use. Reformat the definition a little while at it.
2012-08-30maint: simplify definition of $MAN in configure.acStefano Lattarini
* configure.ac: Here, by making less use of 'sed' and 'tr' munging, and relying on a smarter and simpler shell loop instead.
2012-08-30build: don't define $(SUFFIXES) explicitlyStefano Lattarini
* man/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Remove definition: Automake is smart enough to extract the list of suffixes from the '.x.1' suffix rule automatically.
2012-08-30build: don't use recursive make to build the 'doc' subdirectoryStefano Lattarini
* doc/Makefile.am: Rename ... * doc/local.mk: ... like this. With further adjustments ... (info_TEXINFOS): Prepend 'doc/' to all '*.texi' files listed in here. (coreutils_TEXINFOS): Likewise, and rename ... (doc_coreutils_TEXINFOS): ... like this. (constants.texi): Rename ... (doc/constants.texi): ... like this. Adjust the recipe to avoid spurious errors. (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Adjust, and extend with '+=' rather than setting it with '='. (ME): Delete. (find_upper_case_var): Use '$@', not '$(ME)', in error messages. * Makefile.am: Include 'doc/local.mk'. (SUBDIRS): Remove 'doc'. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove 'doc/Makefile'.
2012-08-30build: use 'check-local' to extend the 'check' targetStefano Lattarini
* doc/Makefile.am (check-local): Here, by making this depend on 'check-texinfo' ... (check): ... rather than this. While the old usage worked, it did so for an implementation detail rather than a documented behaviour, so relying on that was riskier a "unclean".
2012-08-30build: prefer '$(top_srcdir)/doc' over '$(srcdir)' in doc MakefileStefano Lattarini
This is just a preparatory refactoring that will become useful in a future change (in which the doc/Makefile.am makefile will be merged with the top-level one). * doc/Makefile.am (doc_srcdir): New, define to '$(top_srcdir)/doc'. Use it throughout instead of "bare" '$(srcdir)'.
