Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in' files compliant with the GNU Coding Standards. This is routine packaging update for automake-1.6, and contains the latest version of the automake 1.6 series, automake-1.6.3.
This cygwin package, automake1.6, can be installed without conflict alongside the existing automake1.14 ... automake1.7, automake1.5, and automake1.4 cygwin packages. CHANGES SINCE 1.6.3-11 ====================================================================== * Rely on cygport to autogenerate setup.hints * Update config.sub/config.guess to latest standard (supports cygwin64) * Use 'alternatives' only for documentation; rely on wrapper to handle the tools themselves. * First cygwin64 release Testsuite Results ====================================================================== cyg32| 19 of 388 tests failed cyg64| 19 of 388 tests failed ====================================================================== Testsuite Details: ====================================================================== both| FAIL: gettext.test both| FAIL: gettext2.test Newer gettext expects AM_PROG_MKDIR_P but this version of automake does not define it both| FAIL: installsh.test This appears to be due to a warning issued by new perl when parsing Wrap.pm: "Useless use of /d modifier in transliteration operator at .../lib/Automake/Wrap.pm line 60." This messes up the expected stderr output. both| FAIL: ldflags.test both| FAIL: libtool.test both| FAIL: libtool2.test both| FAIL: libtool3.test both| FAIL: listval.test both| FAIL: ltdeps.test both| FAIL: ltlibobjs.test both| FAIL: nobase.test both| FAIL: pr72.test both| FAIL: pr211.test both| FAIL: pr300-ltlib.test both| FAIL: pr307.test both| FAIL: required2.test both| FAIL: subdircond.test both| FAIL: subobj9.test both| FAIL: suffix2.test This version of automake does not understand new libtool's multi-m4 file structure, and so unexpected warnings are emitted. While technically, these 19 failures are regressions from the previous am1.6 release: 0 of 370 tests failed They all appear to be related to platform updates (perl, libtool, gettext) and do not actually represent regressions in automake itself, so to speak. -- Charles Wilson volunteer automake maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
