2000-05-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Define _XOPEN_SOURCE to
	be 500, instead of _GNU_SOURCE to be 1, to work around glibc
	2.1.3 bug.  This avoids a clash when files like regex.c define
	_GNU_SOURCE.

2000-05-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Save and restore LIBS around AC_SEARCH_LIBS
	call for clock_gettime.
	(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME): Set and AC_SUBST.

	* search-libs.m4: Update from autoconf.

	su doesn't work on Solaris2.6.
	* lib-check.m4: When checking for struct spwd.sp_pwdp, also include
	<shadow.h>.  Reported by Dragos Harabor.

2000-05-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* check-decl.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Add strndup.

2000-05-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Define _GNU_SOURCE if
	this is needed to make ftello visible (e.g. glibc 2.1.3).  Use
	compile-time test, rather than inspecting host and OS, to
	decide whether to define _LARGEFILE_SOURCE.

2000-05-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* fsusage.m4: Use AC_MSG_CHECKING instead of obsolete AC_CHECKING.

	* ls-mntd-fs.m4 (jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS): Add BeOS support.
	Based on a patch from Bruno Haible.

2000-04-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_GETPAGESIZE): New macro.
	(jm_PREREQ): Use it.

2000-04-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	Get it right :-)
	* jm-macros.m4: (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES) [_GNU_SOURCE]: Emit the
	actual #define via AH_VERBATIM.  Don't need separate AC_DEFINE.
	Suggestion from Akim Demaille.

2000-04-14  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* jm-macros.m4: (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES) [_GNU_SOURCE]: Use the one-arg form
	of AC_DEFINE.  Otherwise, the #ifndef in AH_VERBATIM gets clobbered.

2000-04-13  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES) [_GNU_SOURCE]: Use new AH_VERBATIM
	to insert required #ifndef into config.h.in.
	Suggestion from Akim Demaille.

2000-04-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* getloadavg.m4 (AM_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use AC_CHECK_HEADERS, not
	`AC_CHECK_HEADER' to check for locale.h.  Thanks to a report from
	Christian Krackowizer.

	More code moved from ../configure.in into (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES).
	* jm-macros.m4 (_GNU_SOURCE): Define.
	(AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Require.
	(AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Require.

2000-04-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS): Don't use -n32 on
	IRIX if the installer said otherwise.

2000-04-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	Portability tweaks required for ultrix4.3.
	* check-decl.m4 [!HAVE_UTMPX_H] (headers): Include <utmp.h>.
	(jm_CHECK_DECLS): Add getutent to the list of functions.
	(_jm_DECL_HEADERS): Add utmpx.h.
	From John David Anglin.

	* strftime.m4: Back out the 2000-04-02 change.
	Instead of that change, simply undefine putenv in the test program.

2000-04-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* gettext.m4: Fix typo in comment.

	* codeset.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Add langinfo.h (moved here from
	textutils/configure.in).  Suggestion from Paul Eggert.
	(AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add nl_langinfo.  (also from textutils/configure.in)

2000-04-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* strftime.m4 (jm_FUNC_GNU_STRFTIME): Set TZ environment
	variable in the shell rather than using putenv, which isn't
	portable.  This avoids the configure-time inter-test dependency
	on the potentially-renamed putenv function.

2000-03-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Include <sys/stat.h>
	before checking struct stat.st_blksize, so that
	HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_BLKSIZE is defined correctly.

2000-03-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* strftime.m4 (_jm_STRFTIME_PREREQS): Check for strftime,
	since strftime.c uses HAVE_STRFTIME to decide whether to use
	the underlying strftime.

2000-03-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* lib-check.m4: Look for getspnam in -lgen, too.
	From Marco Franzen.

2000-02-02  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

	* codeset.m4: New file.

2000-03-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Require AC_C_VOLATILE,
	for lib/localcharset.c.

2000-03-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* regex.m4: Make sure re_compile_pattern accepts patterns like `{1'.

2000-03-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* timespec.m4: Require AC_HEADER_TIME before the cache check so
	the messages come out on separate lines.

	* jm-glibc-io.m4 (jm_FUNC_GLIBC_UNLOCKED_IO): Use AC_CHECK_DECLS,
	rather than jm_CHECK_DECLARATIONS.
	* decl.m4: Remove now-unused file.

	* check-decl.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Add getlogin, ttyname, and geteuid.

2000-02-27  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* check-decl.m4: Add getenv to the list.

2000-02-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* check-decl.m4: Now that we have the new AC_CHECK_DECLS, use it
	in place of my hack.

2000-02-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* nanosleep.m4 (jm_FUNC_NANOSLEEP): Rename replacement function from
	gnu_nanosleep to rpl_nanosleep.

2000-02-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* lib-check.m4 (jm_LIB_CHECK): Fix typo: check for sp_pwdp in
	struct spwd, rather than in struct passwd.  Reported by Gaël Quéri.

2000-02-08  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS): Quote square brackets with
	`[' and `]' and remove uses of `changequote'.

2000-02-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* jm-macros.m4: (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Require most macros.
	Remove explicit use of AC_HEADER_TIME.  It is required by
	jm_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC.  Using AC_HEADER_TIME and
	`AC_REQUIRE'ing jm_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC provoked a but
	in autoconf whereby the expansion of the latter ended up preceding
	the expansion of its prerequisite, AC_HEADER_TIME.
	Reported by Volker Borchert.

2000-02-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_READUTMP): Check for utmpxname.

2000-02-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_ADDEXT): Fix typo that resulted in no
	definition of HAVE_PATHCONF: s/AC_CHECK_FUNC/AC_CHECK_FUNCS/.
	Reported by Eli Zaretskii.

2000-01-31  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* check-decl.m4 (jm_CHECK_DECLS): Add nanosleep to the list of
	functions.  Add the time.h and sys/time.h headers along with the
	AC_REQUIRE'ment of AC_HEADER_TIME.

2000-01-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* lib-check.m4: Clean up some kludgy old shadow password tests.

	* prereq.m4 (utmp_includes): Define.
	Check for ut_user and ut_name members in both struct utmpx
	and struct utmp.

2000-01-29  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* lib-check.m4: New file containing library-related checks from

	from the missing script.  Suggestion from François Pinard.

2000-01-25  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* timespec.m4: Require AC_HEADER_TIME, and include sys/time.h as well
	as time.h in the compile check.
	* nanosleep.m4: Require AC_HEADER_TIME rather than simply using it.
	Fix typo in cross-compiling case: s/yes/no/.

2000-01-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* jm-macros.m4: (OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS, OPTIONAL_BIN_ZCRIPTS, MAN):
	AC_SUBST these here, rather than just in sh-util/configure.in, so
	that the now-shared-by-fileutils-and-textutils lib/Makefile.am are
	all the same.
	(AM_FUNC_OBSTACK): Add (from fileutils/configure.in).
	(AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Merge all checks from fileutils, textutils, sh-utils.

	Add HAVE_DECL_STRTOUL and HAVE_DECL_STRTOULL.
	(jm_CHECK_DECLARATIONS): Add strtoul strtoull.
	(_jm_DECL_HEADERS): Define new function.
	(jm_CHECK_DECLARATIONS): Require it.

2000-01-19  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* nanosleep.m4 (jm_FUNC_NANOSLEEP): Include <sys/time.h>, too.
	Use AC_HEADER_TIME.  Volker Borchert reported that OpenBSD-2.3/sparc
	defines `struct timespec' in <sys/time.h>

	* c-bs-a.m4: Remove uses of changequote altogether.
	Thanks to Akim for explaining.

2000-01-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

2000-01-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	AC_FUNC_MKTIME.

1999-05-10  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de>

1999-05-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
