enable the automake ansi2knr capability.
Right now this doesn't quite build using a K&R compiler because of a
problem with the loadavg test program, but the rest of the code works. I'm
asking the automake list about this problem.
Invent a new macro HAVE_DOS_PATHS and change various instances of:
#if defined(WINDOWS) || defined(__MSDOS__)
to use the new macro instead. This should help make the OS/2 port
cleaner, as well.
Invent a cvs-clean maintainer target that tries to get the workspace
back to the state it was in after a CVS checkout.
New language.
GNU make. Also he provides some other performance fixups after doing
some profiling of make on large makefiles.
Modify the test suite to allow the use of Valgrind to find memory problems.
Incorporate "order-only" prerequisites patch. Wrote a test for it.
The test shows what might be a bug in the code; I need to look at it
more closely (anyway it doesn't behave as I expected). Also I haven't
done the docs yet.
New version of the manual, put into the doc subdir.
Enhancements: $(eval ...) and $(value ...) functions, various bug
fixes, etc. See the ChangeLog.
More to come.
properly.
Fix configure: allow cross-compilation; fix getloadavg (still needs _lots_
of work!)
Let $(call ...) functions to be self-referencing. Lets us do transitive
closures, for example.
Fix an assert() in an obscure use of -q
Handling of double-colon timestamp updates was broken in a bizarre way.
Store arguments to $(call ...) functions in simple variables, not recursive
variables.
* Update maintainers build process; remove GNUmakefile. Require builders to
run automake && autoreconf by hand.
* Use AC_SUBST_FILE to get the maintMakefile included, rather than GNU
make's include directive, which conflicts with automake 1.4's include
directive.
* main.c (print_version): Print out bug-reporting address.
Mon Aug 26 19:55:47 1996 Roland McGrath <roland@baalperazim.frob.com>
* main.c (print_data_base): Don't declare ctime; headers do it for us
already.
* dir.c: WIN32 does not support inode. For now, fully qualified
pathname along with st_mtime will be keys for files.
Fixed problem where vpath can be confused when files
are added to a directory after the directory has already been
read in. The code now attempts to reread the directory if it
discovers that the datestamp on the directory has changed since
it was cached by make. This problem only seems to occur on WIN32
right now so it is lumped under port #ifdef WIN32.
* function.c: WIN32: call subproc library (CreateProcess()) instead of
fork/exec.
* job.c: WIN32: Added the code to do fork/exec/waitpid style processing
on WIN32 systems via calls to subproc library.
* main.c: WIN32: Several things added here. First, there is code
for dealing with PATH and SHELL defaults. Make tries to figure
out if the user has %PATH% set in the environment and sets it to
%Path% if it is not set already. Make also looks to see if sh.exe
is anywhere to be found. Code path through job.c will change
based on existence of a working Bourne shell. The checking for
default shell is done twice: once before makefiles are read in
and again after. Fall back to MSDOS style execution mode if no sh.exe
is found. Also added some debug support that allows user to pause make
with -D switch and attach a debugger. This is especially useful for
debugging recursive calls to make where problems appear only in the
sub-make.
* make.h: WIN32: A few macros and header files for WIN32 support.
* misc.c: WIN32: Added a function end_of_token_w32() to assist
in parsing code in read.c.
* read.c: WIN32: Fixes similar to MSDOS which allow colon to
appear in filenames. Use of colon in filenames would otherwise
confuse make.
* remake.c: WIN32: Added include of io.h to eliminate compiler
warnings. Added some code to default LIBDIR if it is not set
on WIN32.
* variable.c: WIN32: Added support for detecting Path/PATH
and converting them to semicolon separated lists for make's
internal use. New function sync_Path_environment()
which is called in job.c and function.c before creating a new
process. Caller must set Path in environment since we don't
have fork() to do this for us.
* vpath.c: WIN32: Added detection for filenames containing
forward or backward slashes.
* NMakefile: WIN32: Visual C compatible makefile for use with nmake.
Use this to build GNU make the first time on Windows NT or Windows 95.
* README.WIN32: WIN32: Contains some helpful notes.
* build_w32.bat: WIN32: If you don't like nmake, use this the first
time you build GNU make on Windows NT or Windows 95.
* config.h.WIN32: WIN32 version of config.h
* subproc.bat: WIN32: A bat file used to build the
subproc library from the top-level NMakefile. Needed because
WIndows 95 (nmake) doesn't allow you to cd in a make rule.
* w32/include/dirent.h
* w32/compat/dirent.c: WIN32: opendir, readdir, closedir, etc.
* w32/include/pathstuff.h: WIN32: used by files needed functions
defined in pathstuff.c (prototypes).
* w32/include/sub_proc.h: WIN32: prototypes for subproc.lib functions.
* w32/include/w32err.h: WIN32: prototypes for w32err.c.
* w32/pathstuff.c: WIN32: File and Path/Path conversion functions.
* w32/subproc/build.bat: WIN32: build script for subproc library
if you don't wish to use nmake.
* w32/subproc/NMakefile: WIN32: Visual C compatible makefile for use
with nmake. Used to build subproc library.
* w32/subproc/misc.c: WIN32: subproc library support code
* w32/subproc/proc.h: WIN32: subproc library support code
* w32/subproc/sub_proc.c: WIN32: subproc library source code
* w32/subproc/w32err.c: WIN32: subproc library support code
* main.c: (main), variable.c Changed handling of ENV-vars. Make
stores now the names of the variables only and reads their contents
when they are accessed to reflect that these variables are really
global (ie. they CAN change WHILE make runs !) This handling is
made in lookup_variable()
* GNUmakefile (globfiles): Add AmigaDOS support files.
(distfiles): Add $(amigafiles).
(amigafiles): New variable.
Thu Nov 7 10:18:16 1995 Aaron Digulla <digulla@fh-konstanz.de>
* Added Amiga support in commands.c, dir.c, function.c,
job.c, main.c, make.h, read.c, remake.c
* commands.c: Amiga has neither SIGHUP nor SIGQUIT
* dir.c: Amiga has filenames with Upper- and Lowercase,
but "FileName" is the same as "filename". Added strieq()
which is use to compare filenames. This is like streq()
on all other systems. Also there is no such thing as
"." under AmigaDOS.
* function.c: On Amiga, the environment is not passed as envp,
there are no pipes and Amiga can't fork. Use my own function
to create a new child.
* job.c: default_shell is "" (The system automatically chooses
a shell for me). Have to use the same workaround as MSDOS for
running batch commands. Added HAVE_SYS_PARAM_H. NOFILE isn't
known on Amiga. Cloned code to run children from MSDOS. Own
version of sh_chars[] and sh_cmds[]. No dup2() or dup() on Amiga.
* main.c: Force stack to 20000 bytes. Read environment from ENV:
device. On Amiga, exec_command() does return, so I exit()
afterwards.
* make.h: Added strieq() to compare filenames.
* read.c: Amiga needs special extension to have passwd. Only
one include-dir. "Makefile" and "makefile" are the same.
Added "SMakefile". Added special code to handle device names (xxx:)
and "./" in rules.
* remake.c: Only one lib-dir. Amiga link-libs are named "%s.lib"
instead of "lib%s.a".
* main.c, rule.c, variable.c: Avoid floats at all costs.
* vpath.c: Get rid of as many alloca()s as possible.
(decode_switches): Set optind to 0 to reinitialize getopt, not to 1. When
getopt_long returns EOF, break the loop and handle remaining args with a
simple second loop.
