If a resource compiler is available, use it to add a UTF-8 resource
to the GNU Make executable on Windows. As a result, GNU Make will
use UTF-8 as its ANSI code page, enabling it to work with UTF-8
encoded Makefiles, understand UTF-8 paths passed to it, etc.
These build process changes apply to all 3 ways that GNU Make can
be built for Windows:
1) configure
2) Basic.mk
3) build_w32.bat
When building with Visual Studio the resource compiler should always
be available.
When building with GCC or TCC, it depends on the availability of
'windres'.
If a resource compiler is not available, don't fail the build but
just proceed without the UTF-8 resource, effectively ignoring this
feature.
The UTF-8 resource only has an effect when GNU Make is running on a
minimum target version of Windows Version 1903 (May 2019 Update).
When the built GNU Make is running on an earlier version of Windows,
the embedded UTF-8 resource has no effect.
Code page information is added to --version output to tell users what
code pages are being used by any combination of GNU Make build (with
or without the UTF-8 resource) and Windows version that GNU Make is
running on (earlier than 1903 or not).
* README.git: Fix a typo.
* configure.ac: Search for windres and set WINDRES / HAVE_WINDRES.
* Makefile.am: Add manifest and resource files to EXTRA_DIST and
add a windres invocation to build them.
* build_w32.bat: Add support to build resource files.
* src/main.c (print_version): Add codepage info to Windows output.
* src/w32/utf8.manifest: Add a windres manifest file.
* src/w32/utf8.rc: Add a windres resource file.
* Basic.mk.template: Add support for building resource files.
* mk/Windows32.mk: Support windres resource files.
* .gitignore: Ignore TCC output directories.
Using backslashes in a sed command line is tricky as different programs
use them differently as escape sequences. Eli Zaretskii points out
that Windows "echo" doesn't do any processing, so rework all our sed
invocations to use script files created by echo.
* bootstrap.bat: Use echo to create sed script files instead of -e.
* Basic.mk.template: Fix typo in the comments.
* .gitignore: Ignore any .sed scripts.
* README.in: Add a section on running regression tests.
* Makefile.am (check-regression): Capture the test run output, and
on failure collect configure and test results into a tar file.
The README templates were not useful since the replacement step
didn't have anything to replace: rename them.
Rather than creating template files for the config variants, create
mkconfig.h.in containg PACKAGE_* variables to be replaced, and have
config variant header files include it. Note on POSIX we don't use
this, and continue to generate a single config.h.in file.
Use config.status to convert the README.in and mkconfig.h.in files
during distribution creation.
Modify all users of VERSION to use PACKAGE_VERSION instead.
* configure.ac: Use GNU Make not GNU make as the package name.
* README.in: Use GNU Make not GNU make.
* README.git: Remove references to README.W32.template.
* .gitignore: Update for new behavior.
* Basic.mk.template: Remove unused posix_SOURCES and VERSION, and
references to unshipped mk/Posix.mk
* Makefile.am: Add src/mkconfig.h as an extra dist file.
* bootstrap.bat: Rewrite mkconfig.h.in to mkconfig.h
* maintMakefile: Remove obsolete template files; add mkconfig.h.in.
* prepare_vms.com: Rewrite mkconfig.h.in to mkconfig.h
* mk/VMS.mk: Fix incorrect header file prerequisite.
* src/mkconfig.h.in: New file containing PACKAGE variables.
* src/config.ami: Include mkconfig.h.
* src/config.h.W32: Ditto.
* src/configh.dos: Ditto.
* src/config.h-vms: Ditto.
* src/version.c: Use PACKAGE_VERSION not VERSION.
* README.git: Clarify that these methods are lightly tested.
* build_w32.bat: Don't support any config step: fail if not completed.
Move the config steps into bootstrap.bat. Don't print compile lines
by default and add a --verbose option to show them.
* bootstrap.bat: Ensure we have curl and sed before we do anything.
Pull the latest necessary files from gnulib. Create a convert.sed
script that can update the various template files, and update
Basic.mk, config.h.W32, and gmk-default.h.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl: Remove CRLF rather than using chop. If we
run perl in Git for Bash it seems to handle newlines differently.
* tests/scripts/features/temp_stdin: Remove the make copy and close
STDIN so we can delete the temp file on Windows.
* .gitignore: Ignore the convert.sed script.
The gl subdirectory contains our local versions of gnulib module
implementations, so move m4/acinclude.m4 and m4/dospaths.m4 there.
* gl/modules/make-macros: Create a new module to handle the macros.
* bootstrap.conf: Add the new module.
* configure.ac: Macro invocation is moved to make-macros.
* m4/.gitignore: Delete unnecessary ignore file: m4 is empty.
* .gitignore: Add m4/ as an ignored directory.
The gl subdirectory contains our local versions of gnulib module
implementations, so move fnmatch* and glob* from lib to gl/lib.
* gl/modules/make-glob: Add a proper Files: section.
* lib/.gitignore: Delete unnecessary ignore file: lib is empty.
* .gitignore: Add lib/ as an ignored directory.
* build.sh: Rename from build.template. Get the list of objects
from the Makefile. Move configure-replaced variables ...
* build.cfg.in: to this new .in file.
* configure.ac: Remove special handling of build.sh.in and add
build.cfg as a generated file.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove build.sh.in and add build.sh
and build.cfg.in for build.sh.in.
* maintMakefile: Remove handling for build.template. Treat
build.sh as a source file, not a generated file.
* .gitignore: Ignore generated build.cfg file.
* .ccls: Remove -std=c99: it disables __attribute__ causing warnings.
* .dir-locals.el: Force the C coding style to "gnu".
* make-gdb.py: Add GDB macros for pretty-printing GNU make structs.
* scripts/copyright-update: Use GNULIB_SRCDIR to find update-copyright.
* .ccls: Configure the ccls LSP server
* .dir-locals.el: Reset some parameters for ccls and lsp-mode
* .gitignore: Update for GTAGS and ccls
* maintMakefile: Don't search hidden directories for sources
Move content from glob/* and config/* into standard GNU directory
locations lib/* and m4/*.
Install the gnulib bootstrap script and its configuration file, and
create a bootstrap.bat file for Windows. Update the README.git file
with new requirements and instructions for building from Git.
At this point we only install the alloca, getloadavg, and FDL modules
from gnulib. We keep our old glob/fnmatch implementation since the
gnulib versions require significant amounts of infrastructure which
doesn't exist on Windows yet. Further work is required here.
Due to a problem with gnulib's version of getloadavg, we need to bump
the minimum required version of automake to 1.16.1 unfortunately.
* README.git: Update instructions
* NEWS: Move developer news to a separate section
* configure.ac: Update for use with gnulib modules
* bootstrap: Bootstrap from Git workspace (import from gnulib)
* bootstrap.conf: Bootstrap configuration for GNU make
* bootstrap.bat: Bootstrap from Git workspace for Windows
* gl/modules/make-glob: Support our local fnmatch/glob implementation
* config/acinclude.m4: Move to m4/
* config/dospaths.m4: Move to m4/
* glob/fnmatch.c: Move to lib/
* glob/fnmatch.h.in: Move to lib/

Move the source code (other than glob) into the "src" subdirectory.
Update all scripting and recommendations to support this change.
* *.c, *.h, w32/*: Move to src/
* configure.ac, Makefile.am, maintMakefile: Locate new source files.
* Basic.mk.template, mk/*: Update for new source file locations.
* NEWS, README.DOS.template: Update for new locations.
* build.template, build_w32.bat, builddos.bat: Ditto.
* po/POTFILES.in: Ditto
* tests/run_make_tests.pl, tests/scripts/features/load*: Ditto.
* make.1: Move to doc.
* mk/VMS.mk: Add support for building on VMS (hopefully).
* makefile.vms, prepare_w32.bat: Remove.
* SCOPTIONS: Update to define HAVE_CONFIG_H
Over time the non-standard build and install systems (nmake files,
smake files, Visual Studio project files, etc.) have atrophied and
maintaining them is not worth the effort, for such a simple utility
as make. Remove all the non-standard build tool support and unify
OS-specific build rules under a basic set of (GNU make) makefiles.
Preserve the existing bootstrapping scripts (for POSIX, Windows,
and MS-DOS). Also the existing VMS build scripts are left unchanged:
I don't have enough experience with VMS to venture into this area.
Perhaps one of the VMS maintainers might like to determine whether
conversion would be appropriate.
Rather than create libraries for w32 and glob (non-POSIX), simply
link the object files directly to remove the complexity.
* NEWS: Update with user-facing notes.
* Makefile.am: Clean up to use the latest automake best practices.
Build Windows code directly from the root makefile to avoid recursion.
* README.Amiga, README.DOS.template, README.W32.template: Updated.

* maintMakefile: Remove obsolete files. Create Basic.mk file.
* Basic.mk.template, mk/*.mk: Create basic GNU make-based makefiles.
* build_w32.bat: Copy Basic.mk to Makefile
* configure.ac: We no longer need AM_PROG_AR.
* dosbuild.bat: Rename to builddos.bat. Incorporate configure.bat.
* Makefile.DOS.template: Remove.
* NMakefile.template, w32/subproc/NMakefile: Remove.
* SMakefile.template, glob/SMakefile, glob/SCOPTIONS, make.lnk: Remove.
* configure.bat, glob/configure.bat: Remove.
* w32/Makefile.am: Remove.
* make_msvc_net2003.sln, make_msvc_net2003.vcproj: Remove.
Rename existing ChangeLog files so they won't be distributed.
Add targets to maintMakefile to generate ChangeLog from the Git
repository. This will require a version of gnulib be available.
Because ChangeLog is auto-generated, we have to switch our
automake mode to "foreign" or it will complain and fail.
Provide a simple API for loaded objects to interact with GNU make. I still
won't guarantee that this API won't change but it's much closer to something
that's supported and provides easy-to-use interfaces with a public header
file.
