Should -i mkdir?
Several projects used config/ without any hand written file in it, thanks to Automake's wonderful ability to ship the files all by itself. But then, often, such projects, when just checked out, or de-tar'ed by hand, don't have a config/. Et soudain, c'est l'accident : ~/src/vampire % autoreconf -fvi nostromo 9:55 autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal --force autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool autoreconf: running: /usr/local/bin/autoconf --force autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Autoheader autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing cp: cannot create regular file `config/install-sh': No such file or directory configure.ac: installing `config/install-sh' configure.ac: error while copying cp: cannot create regular file `config/mkinstalldirs': No such file or directory configure.ac: installing `config/mkinstalldirs' configure.ac: error while copying cp: cannot create regular file `config/missing': No such file or directory configure.ac: installing `config/missing' configure.ac: error while copying cp: cannot create regular file `config/mdate-sh': No such file or directory doc/texinfo/Makefile.am:20: installing `config/mdate-sh' doc/texinfo/Makefile.am:20: error while copying cp: cannot create regular file `config/texinfo.tex': No such file or directory doc/texinfo/Makefile.am:20: installing `config/texinfo.tex' doc/texinfo/Makefile.am:20: error while copying autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 So, should automake -i make sure the directory exists and create it if needed? Or that would be considered unsafe (a typo in the name, et voilà, a nasty dir pollutes your codeshore).

How many packages use autotools?

dist target and bin_SCRIPTS
Sorry if this has been brought up before. This behaviour is a bit odd to me: bin_SCRIPTS = my_script will not get 'my_script' included in the dist-tarball. I needed to add a EXTRA_DIST = my_script as well. I couldn't find this behaviour documented anywhere, and a quick search on Google didn't turn up anything either (might be due to my search skills). automake version: automake (GNU automake) 1.7.7 Written by Tom Tromey [EMAIL PROTECTED].

IOW how many in-house completely locked-up proprietary packages use them? It's probably a bit hard to tell, these packages being uber-secret and all. Any (gu)estimates? I use it in all my Free software packages. I also use it at work, for non-free commercial stuff. TBH, a lot of commercial software has archaic build processes, since there's not the same requirement for repeated building of source on multiple platforms--there's one build and the binaries are distributed. Therefore, on DOS many projects are built by hand or with batch files and on UNIX, a plain Makefile or shell script will often do. I'd guess it's used, but far, far less than for Free software. Free software, being distributed primarily as source, must build conveniently and quickly on any user's system. That's the main reason for using autoconf (and automake etc.). Personally, I've spent several hundred hours working on the gimp-print build infrastructure alone. For the stuff I do for work, the company doesn't care how it builds as long as they can supply a set of binaries to customers. In addition, commercial pressures mean that there simply isn't time to devote to such things--which is just one reason why Free software is so oftern of much better quality.

Autoconf 2.57d released
#secure method=pgpmime mode=sign This is our candidate release for Autoconf 2.58. We plan to release it soon, so that Automake 1.8 can be released, hence Libtool 1.6, so that GNU M4 2.0 can be shipped, enabling Autoconf 2.60 ;) Please, test it thoroughly. Akim, Alexandre, Jim, Paul, and Tom. Here are the compressed sources: http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/autoconf-2.57d.tar.gz (1.2MB) http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/autoconf-2.57d.tar.bz2 (837KB) And here are xdelta-style diffs: http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/autoconf-2.57b-2.57d.xdelta (26KB) Here are GPG detached signatures: http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/autoconf-2.57d.tar.gz.asc http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/autoconf-2.57d.tar.bz2.asc Here are the MD5 and SHA1 signatures: 2fd6b2ce93c20272114580696b873b13 autoconf-2.57d.tar.gz 11283066884ee9dac83b9e6d9a7870f4 autoconf-2.57d.tar.bz2 f1bf3224ee351de53229c8e3957ac888 autoconf-2.57b-2.57d.xdelta 810ea71de4c866970f76079036847c63ad605d77 autoconf-2.57d.tar.gz be65e491f94df9e1fa0aa272df78848d0ef2ac84 autoconf-2.57d.tar.bz2 92306a504a352c140c7795839cfe374f7e931046 autoconf-2.57b-2.57d.xdelta NEWS * Major changes in Autoconf 2.57d * Major changes in Autoconf 2.57b Released 2003-08-24, by Akim Demaille. ** Autotest and local.at The optional file local.at is always included in Autotest test suites. ** Warnings The warnings are always issued, including with cached runs. This became a significant problem since aclocal and automake can run autoconf behind the scene. ** autoheader warnings The warnings of autoheader can be turned off, using --warning. For instance, -Wno-obsolete disables the complaints about acconfig.h and other deprecated constructs. * Major changes in Autoconf 2.57a ** New macros AC_C_RESTRICT, AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT. ** AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST Works again. ** AC_FUNC_MKTIME Now checks that mktime is the inverse of localtime. ** Improve DJGPP portability The Autoconf tools and configure behave better under DJGPP. ** Present But Cannot Be Compiled New FAQ section dedicated to the mystic configure: WARNING: pi.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: pi.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: pi.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result messages. ** Concurrent executions of autom4te autom4te now locks its internal files, which enables concurrent executions of autom4te, likely to happen if automake, autoconf, autoheader etc. are run simultaneously. ** Libtool Use of Libtool 1.5 and higher is encouraged. Compatibility with Libtool pre-1.4 is not checked. ** Autotest Testsuites no longer rerun failed tests in verbose mode; instead, failures are logged while the test is run. In addition, expected failures can be marked as such. ChangeLog entries: ** ChangeLog ** 2003-09-25 Akim Demaille [EMAIL PROTECTED] Version 2.57d. * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Handle '@configure_input@'. (autoconf, autoheader, autom4te, autoreconf, autoscan, autoupdate) (ifnames): chmod -w. * tests/wrapper.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOM4TE, ): Point to tests/ executables, not bin/ executables! Otherwise all the magic needed to find non installed files is turned off. This caused a failure of test 40 and 41 that ran aclocal 1.8 which in turn ran autom4te as found in its environment (sent by tests/autoreconf): pointing to bin/autom4te that could not find its files. * tests/mktests.sh: Force the replacement of generated files, for the sake of mv program that are interactive when overwriting a -w file. * config/install-sh: Upgrade from CVS Automake. 2003-09-23 Paul Eggert [EMAIL PROTECTED] * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Document test -h versus test -L issues. 2003-09-23 Daniel Jacobowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Paul Eggert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trivial change to support GCC's configuration procedure. * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP_WERROR): New macro. * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): Don't warn about inconsistency if the preprocessor is set to give errors for any warning. * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Document this. 2003-09-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Makefile.am (autom4te-update, autom4te_files): Fetch Struct.pm and XFile.pm from Automake. * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Update from Automake. 2003-09-12 Akim Demaille [EMAIL PROTECTED] Version 2.57c. 2003-09-12 Akim Demaille [EMAIL PROTECTED] * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/missing, * lib/Autom4te/Channels.pm, lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm:
