bug#11204: automake-1.11.4 test failures, powerpc-darwin8

2012-04-12 Thread David Fang

This looks suspicious:

 FAIL: distcheck-override-infodir.test (exit: 2)
 ===

 distcheck-override-infodir: running install-info --version
 Debian install-info 1.10.21.  Copyright (C) 1994,1995
 Ian Jackson.  This is free software; see the GNU General Public Licence
 version 2 or later for copying conditions.  There is NO warranty.

Why do you have Debian install-info installed on Mac OS X?  It is not used
anymore even on Debian:

 $ cat /etc/debian_version
 wheezy/sid

 $ install-info --version
 This is not dpkg install-info anymore, but GNU install-info
 See the man page for ginstall-info for command line arguments
 install-info (GNU texinfo) 4.13

and in fact Automake has stopped trying to cater to Debian install-info since
the release 1.11.2.

What happens if you re-run the failed tests after defining 'AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR'
to "no" in the environment?  Like this:

 $ cd tests && AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR=no make -jN recheck


So I have an install-info from dpkg, which is used by fink, which 
installs packages to another prefix (default: /sw):


fang% which install-info
/sw/sbin/install-info
fang% dpkg -S `which install-info`
dpkg: /sw/sbin/install-info

Re: How do I configure Makefile.am to run a program?

2008-04-02 Thread David Fang

Don't use make to do this - just use autoconf, and let your configure
script deal with it:

configure.ac

AC_INIT(...)
...
svnrev=`svnversion .`
AC_SUBST(svnrev)
...
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile ... poll.spec)
AC_OUTPUT


Now create a file called poll.spec.in that contains an exact copy of your
existing poll.spec, but add the autoconf substitution variable, @svnrev@
where it make sense.

In a Makefile.am in the directory containing your poll.spec file, add

EXTRA_DIST = ... poll.spec

I use this trick all the time and it works great! In fact, I generate most
of my rpm and debian build scripts this way.


Thanks, but the problem with this solution is that I would have to rerun the
.configure step each time.  Forgetting to do that is as as easy as
forgetting to edit the spec file.


Hi,
	Doesn't AC_CONFIG_FILES automatically add regenerations rules to 
the Makefile? usually resembles something like:


# somewhere in Makefile.in
config-generated-file: [config-generated-file.in]
cd $(top-srcdir) && ./config.status config-generated-file

If the command run to generate it is some script (which is used by 
config.status), you should be able to append a dependency:


# to Makefile.am
config-generated-file: generating-script

Anytime config.status or your generating script changes, it should 
automatically be regenerated.  (And if only your generating script changes 
(not configure.ac), it won't re-run all of configure, just 
that output phase, config.status.)


And if you want the target to always be up-to-date,
add it to BUILT_SOURCES=, or all-local:, as others suggested.

I let 'make' take care of any dependencies, basically.

HTH,

Re: Bison C++ parsers and ylwrap

2008-03-02 Thread David Fang

It probably is a bug.  I for one use bison/yacc very sparingly only and
lack the experience how to deal with it portably.  Which is why it would
be better if someone else worked on fixing it.


For whatever it's worth, I have always found bison's C++ support to be
sub-par.  It's always been easier to create C source from bison, put
some 'extern "C"' decls in the %{ %} header of the .y file, and output
to a .cc file.

So while I have no resolution for the bug, I would encourage you to just
use bison conventionally as a workaround.


Another data point, I use the normal C-skeleton style parsers from 
bison/yacc but compile them in C++ (myparser.yy -> myparser.cc), and have 
no problems with using C++ in the semantic actions.  (I also don't 
need any extern "C" declarations/references as long as everything is 
compiled consistently as C++.  I've been doing this since yacc (skeleton 
1.14?) and bison 1.35.

Re: can 'make', can 'make dist', but can't 'make distcheck'

CPPFLAGS="-DHPUX -DSUN -DLINUX -I/usr/include/libxml2/ \

all goes well. make is successfull and builds my libs correctly !

make dist also creates the tar.gz

but make distcheck complains. this is my distcheck command:
-
make distcheck \

---


You pass configure parameters to distcheck with:

make DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS="configure_params..." distcheck

Quotes recommended to keep shell from splitting up params.

These errors are probably fallout from not finding some headers in those 
CPPFLAGS paths, I'm guessing.



this is how it complaints

just guessing ? could make distcheck be using something like a very

distcheck doesn't add anything to your flags.

Sometimes it helps to log distcheck to a file for debugging:

duplicate installdirs bug

2007-06-14 Thread David Fang
Hi,
With automake 1.9.6, I'm getting distcheck failures during the
install phase (or just during non-distcheck make install):

= reduced Makefile.am =
# let package name == 'yoyodyne'

foodir = $(pkgdatadir)/foo

foo_DATA = file1
dist_foo_DATA = file2

===
- results in (Makefile.in): ---
===

# note the duplicate
am__installdirs = "$(DESTDIR)$(foodir) $(DESTDIR)$(foodir)"

...

installdirs-am:
for dir in "$(DESTDIR)$(foodir)" "$(DESTDIR)$(foodir)"; do \
  test -z "$$dir" || $(mkdir_p) "$$dir"; \
done

===
which errors out during "make DESTDIR=/tmp/somewhere install"
on the second iteration of the for-loop.

mkdir: /tmp/somewhere/usr/local/share/yoyodyne/foo: File exists


Workaround: if I wrote my DATA files as a single foo_DATA instead of split

# equivalent to above
foo_DATA = file1 file2
EXTRA_DIST = file2

Then the installdirs will be duplicate-free.  Not too much trouble.

or fix: hack automake to eliminate repeated dirs in $(am__installdirs)

or add a clause after $(mkdir_p) ... || : to make it never fail or ignore
exit status of $(mkdir_p)?  (not the greatest idea)

or add a 'test -d' for directory existence before $(mkdir_p)-ing it?


Haven't tested this case against automake-1.10 yet.

Thanks for investigating.

FWIW, fink has done wonders for my open-source software addiction.  :)

When being prompted through the configuration process, I recommend
enabling the 'unstable' tree which contains several times more packages.
After installing and configuring fink,

% fink selfupdate
(update package descriptions, re-index)
% fink install automake1.9
(gets you automake 1.9.6)
% fink install libtool14
(gets you GNU libtool 1.5.22)

(gets you autoconf 2.60)

Hi all,

I use a simple recipe for parallelizing tests without any modification to
automake, but it may require some semi-automatic dependence tracking to
get right.  I have the targets listed in the TESTS variable as trivial
shell scripts that are the results of other dependencies that actually run
the tests.  The gist of it:

TESTS += my_test.sh ...

# process result of test into trivial script
my_test.sh: my_test.diff
echo "#!/bin/sh" > $@ ; \
if test -s $< ; then \
echo "exit 1" >> $@ ; \
fi ; \
chmod +x $@

# test post-processing
my_test.diff: my_test.actual my_test.expect
diff -u $(srcdir)/my_test.expect my_test.actual > $@

# here, my_test.expect is expected to reside in the srcdir

# running the built executable on some input
my_test.actual: (input file, maybe executable too)
(some command to make it)

The tests are only run with 'make check', but I've added some convenience
targets to run the tests without going through make check_TESTS

Since I have thousands of tests with some long dependence chains between
tests, I use many custom suffix rules and automatically compute additional
dependencies where needed.  Since most of my tests follow the
diff-and-check pattern, I end up having to append dependencies to .diff
targets, since I'm not using %-style rules.

-include diffs.depend

diffs.depend:
cat $(list of test files through sed/awk filter) > $@

diffs.depend will look like:
test1.diff: test1.expect
test2.diff: test2.expect
test3.diff: test3.expect

while the suffix rule is:
.actual.diff:
(deduce expect file name from $< and run diff)

This procedure sped up my tests by a perfect 2x on all of the
dual-processor machines I could get my hands on.  I tried make -j4 ...
-j32 as an experiment and watched the process tree (pstree) explode, but
didn't get much beyond 2x speedup.  I highly recommend doing this for any
reasonably large test suite.

Is this enough to work with, or should I post a more concrete example?

Re: Preprocessing C++ only

2007-01-08 Thread David Fang
> SUFFIXES = .i
> noinst_DATA = Quadratic.i
> .cpp.i:
>   $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) -E -o $@ $<

Hi,
Sometimes it is useful to distinguish C from C++ preprocessed
files, I use .ii for C++ and .i for C.  If you want to retain the
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/CPPFLAGS from configure, then it's convenient to define
the rule as:

SUFFIXES += .i .ii

.c.i:
$(COMPILE) -E $< > $@

.cpp.ii:
$(CXXCOMPILE) -E $< > $@

since $(COMPILE) and $(CXXCOMPILE) are generated in Makefile.in.
I use these frequently when debugging, and usually add these rules to new
projects' Makefile.am's.

HTH,

Hi,

One more comment to add about staged build/installs: the 'distcheck'
target uses DESTDIR=something-temporary when checking to make sure the
build is properly packaged.  To quote an excerpt of distcheck:

Hi,
Well, in any case, it's not too difficult for me to add my own
target, say 'distdir-subdir' and pass the
$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION)[/$(subdir)] paths in that way, calling make
recursively.  I have a global Makefile.include that is include-inlined
into every Makefile.in by automake for various useful variable definitions
and phony targets.

distdir unset in subdir Makefiles?

2006-08-24 Thread David Fang
Hi,
I've noticed that the distdir variable in generated Makefile.in's
only appears in the top-level Makefile.in, however, it is not set in
subdirectories' Makefile.in's.  Is this intentional? According to the top
Makefile.in, distdir and top_distdir are passed down recursively during a
"make distdir", set to $(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION) and subdirs.
In one instance, I wished to manually inspect the result of one of
the subdirectories' "make distdir", but had to pass in these two variables
by hand, slightly inconvenient.  Is there a rationale for omitting these
two variables in subdir's Makefile.in's?
Thanks in advance.

robustifying remove_distdir?

2006-06-30 Thread David Fang
Hi,
I'm have a strange problem with automake-1.9.5, where
"make dist" is dying at the very end on $(am__remove_distdir) because
the "rm -rf" fails.

{ test ! -d myproj || { find myproj -type d ! -perm -200 -exec chmod u+w {} ';' 
&&
rm -fr myproj; }; }
rm: cannot remove directory `myproj/test/parser/connect': Directory not empty
rm: cannot remove directory `myproj/test/parser/flow': Directory not empty
rm: cannot remove directory `myproj/test/parser/param': Directory not empty
rm: cannot remove directory `myproj/test/parser/process': Directory not empty

Where:
am__remove_distdir = \
  { test ! -d $(distdir) \
|| { find $(distdir) -type d ! -perm -200 -exec chmod u+w {} ';' \
 && rm -fr $(distdir); }; }

Looking inside the remnants of the distdir, I find that files named
towards the end of the alphabetical ordering failed to be removed, likely
an artifact of the shell or file system?  (Yes, there are *hundreds* of
files in those dist-directories.) This has happened to me occasionally on
FreeBSD, linux, and Darwin (nondeterminstically).  By hand, one ends up
"rm -rf"-ing several times until removal succeeds.

Is there a way of making the "rm -rf" more robust?  Maybe with some sort
of "while distdir exists, try removing" loop?

Hi,

I think a combination of

configure CXXFLAGS=""

will work.
Probably just the latter is enough.
I believe -g and -O2 are picked up by default by autoconf when nothing is

Hi,
From GNUMake (indepedent of automake), you can declare .SILENT: to
prevent commands from being echoed.  You can also prefix individual shell
commands with @ to suppress echoing in the individual target scripts.
If you're using libtool with automake, add to configure.ac:
LIBTOOL="$LIBTOOL --silent" to keep libtool quiet unconditionally.  That
should cover most things.  What remain are explicit echo commands.
HTH.

Re: broken make distclean...

2005-06-26 Thread David Fang
> I recently started seeing the following problem doing a make distclean:
>
> rm -rf ../libsrc/.deps ./.deps

Hi,
(Autotools amateur here, so please correct me nicely if I'm wrong!
:) )  I'd say the above line is the problem is the above line, where your
Makefile is touching something that's not an immediate subdirectory, i.e.
cross-removing .deps files in ../libsrc while it's operating in libsrc4.
Generally one should avoid that because the .deps files are always
generated and read by the Makefiles.  distclean is particularly sensitive
to this.  Does your Makefile .am have ../libsrc in the SUBDIRS?  I'm
guessing that might have caused it.  When distclean cleaned the
directories in reverse order, it pulled the wheels out from under the
cart.
(complete stab in the dark) If libsrc really depends on something
being built in a sister directory, you might resort to other tricks to
make a correct build, like depending on SUBDIR ordering, making cross-
directory links, or explicit jumps to that directory ($(MAKE) -C foo).

Re: Need a way to pass options to libtool

2004-08-13 Thread David Fang
Hi,
I ran across a thread about adding options to libtool in automake
or autoconf (since I was looking for the same answer myself).  (Last post
May 29, 2004)  I've devised a little autoconf solution that may help:

In configure.in, somwhere after AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, add (e.g.):

LIBTOOL="$LIBTOOL --silent"

or whatever flags you wish, and this results in:

LIBTOOL = $(SHELL) $(top_builddir)/libtool --silent

in all Makefiles generated by that autoconf'd configure script.

With a little clever variable manipulation, you may be able to substitute
"--silent" with more user-options.  Perhaps per-Makefile libtool flags?


Regards,

David
