Update to 1.11.5:
Bugs fixed in 1.11.5:
* Bugs introduced by 1.11.3:
- Vala files with '.vapi' extension are now recognized and handled
correctly again. See automake bug#11222.
- Vala support work again for projects that contain some program
built from '.vala' (and possibly '.c') sources and some other
program built from '.c' sources *only*. See automake bug#11229.
New in 1.11.4:
* WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities!
- The support for the "obscure" multilib feature has been deprecated,
and will be moved out of the automake core in the next major Automake
release (1.12).
- The support for ".log -> .html" conversion and the check-html and
recheck-html targets will be removed in the next major Automake
release (1.12).
- The obsolescent AM_WITH_REGEX macro has been deprecated (since the
GNU rx library has been decommissioned), and will be removed in the
next major Automake release (1.12).
- The `lzma' compression format for distribution archives has been
deprecated in favor of `xz' and `lzip', and will be removed in the
next major Automake release (1.12).
- The `--acdir' option of aclocal is deprecated, and will probably be
removed in the next major Automake release (1.12).
- The exact order in which the directories in the aclocal macro
search path are looked up is probably going to be changed in the
next Automake release (1.12).
- The Automake support for automatic de-ANSI-fication will be removed
in the next major Automake release (1.12).
- Starting from the next Automake release (1.12), warnings in the
`extra-portability' category will be enabled by `-Wall' (right now,
one has to use `-Wextra-portability' explicitly).
* Miscellaneous changes:
- The 'ar-lib' script now ignores the "s" (symbol index) and \
"S" (no
symbol index) modifiers as well as the "s" action, as the symbol index
is created unconditionally by Microsoft lib. Also, the "q" (quick)
action is now a synonym for "r" (replace). Also, the script has been
ignoring the "v" (verbose) modifier already since Automake 1.11.3.
- When the 'compile' script is used to wrap MSVC, it now accepts an
optional space between the -I, -L and -l options and their respective
arguments, for better POSIX compliance.
- There is an initial, experimental support for automatic dependency
tracking with tcc (the Tiny C Compiler). Its associated depmode is
currently recognized as "icc" (but this and other details are likely
to change in future versions).
- Automatic dependency tracking now works also with the IBM XL C/C++
compilers, thanks to the new new depmode 'xlc'.
Bugs fixed in 1.11.4:
* Bugs introduced by 1.11.2:
- A definition of 'noinst_PYTHON' before 'python_PYTHON' (or similar)
don't cause spurious failures upon "make install" anymore.
- The user can now instruct the 'uninstall-info' rule not to update
the '${infodir}/dir' file by exporting the environment variable
'AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR' to the value "no". This is done for consistency
with how the 'install-info' rule operates since automake 1.11.2.
* Long-standing bugs:
- It is now possible for a foo_SOURCES variable to hold Vala sources
together with C header files, as well as with sources and headers for
other supported languages (e.g., C++). Previously, only mixing C and
Vala sources was supported.
- If "aclocal --install" is used, and the first directory specified with
'-I' is non-existent, aclocal will now create it before trying to copy
files in it.
- An empty declaration of a "foo_PRIMARY" don't cause anymore the
generated install rules to create an empty $(foodir) directory;
for example, if Makefile.am contains something like:
pkglibexec_SCRIPTS =
if FALSE
pkglibexec_SCRIPTS += bar.sh
endif
the $(pkglibexec) directory will not be created upon "make install".
