1 2000-06-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
3 * mbstate_t.m4: Use stdlib.h, not stdio.h. The latter is not included
4 by quotearg.c, for which we perform this test. From Bruno Haible.
6 2000-06-17 Bruno Haible <haible@clisp.cons.org>
8 * check-decl.m4 (_jm_DECL_HEADERS): Check for utmp.h as well.
9 * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_READUTMP): Likewise. If either <utmp.h> or
10 <utmpx.h> exists, put readutmp.o into LIBOBJS.
12 2000-06-25 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
14 * mbstate_t.m4: Include stdio.h before wchar.h to work around
15 Linux header bug when _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined to 500.
17 2000-06-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
19 * strerror_r.m4: Revive this file -- to try out an experimental
20 version of AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R that may work even on BeOS, a system
21 for which strerror does return char*, but which lacks a conveniently
22 accessible declaration of the function. If the compile-test says
23 strerror_r doesn't work, then resort to a `run'-test that works on
24 BeOS and segfaults on DEC Unix.
26 2000-06-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
28 * mbstate_t.m4: New file, defining AC_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT.
29 * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_QUOTEARG): Use it. Add check for iswprint.

47 * link-follow.m4 (jm_AC_FUNC_LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK): Change the
48 `checking whether...' message to be consistent with that of the

53 * glibc21.m4 (jm_GLIBC21): Define GLIBC21 for Makefiles, not for C.
55 2000-06-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
57 * getloadavg.m4 (AM_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Replace with AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG
58 from autoconf, and tweak the latter to accept an optional argument.
59 * jm-macros.m4: s/AM_FUNC_GETLOADAVG/AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG/, and supply
60 the optional argument, `lib'.
62 2000-06-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
64 * largefile.m4: Remove file (now that it's part of autoconf).
66 2000-06-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
68 Rewrite largefile configuration so that we don't need to run
69 getconf and don't need AC_CANONICAL_HOST. [I'm leaving the use of
70 AC_CANONICAL_HOST in configure.in -- jmm]
72 * largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS,
73 AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_SPACE_APPEND): Remove.
74 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES): New macro.
75 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE): Change arguments from
76 CODE-TO-SET-DEFAULT to VALUE, INCLUDES, FUNCTION-BODY.
78 Instead of inspecting the output of getconf, try to compile the
79 test program without and with the macro definition.
80 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Do not require AC_CANONICAL_HOST or check
81 for getconf. Instead, check for the needed flags by compiling
84 2000-06-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
86 * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_HUMAN): Use []-quoted list in AC_CHECK_DECLS,
87 now that autoconf requires that.
89 * jm-glibc-io.m4: Add a kludge to make autoheader emit the required
90 #undefs. E.g., #undef HAVE_DECL_FERROR_UNLOCKED.
91 Use []-quoted list in AC_CHECK_DECLS, now that autoconf requires that.

95 * glibc21.m4: New file.
96 * jm-macros.m4: (jm_MACROS): Call jm_GLIBC21.

113 2000-05-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
115 * prereq.m4: Use []-quoted list in AC_CHECK_MEMBERS, now that
116 autoconf requires that.
117 * lib-check.m4: Likewise.
118 * jm-macros.m4: Likewise.
119 * strftime.m4: Likewise.
121 * check-decl.m4 (jm_CHECK_DECLS): Use []-quoted list in AC_CHECK_DECLS,
122 now that autoconf requires that.
124 2000-05-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
126 * stat.m4: Require jm_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK.
127 * lstat.m4: Likewise.
129 2000-05-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
131 * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_HUMAN): New macro.
134 2000-05-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
136 * gettext.m4: Rename this...
137 * libintl.m4: ...to this.
139 2000-05-06 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>

149 (LIB_NANOSLEEP): Set and AC_SUBST.
151 2000-05-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
153 * largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Define _XOPEN_SOURCE to
154 be 500, instead of _GNU_SOURCE to be 1, to work around glibc
155 2.1.3 bug. This avoids a clash when files like regex.c define
158 2000-05-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
160 * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Save and restore LIBS around AC_SEARCH_LIBS
161 call for clock_gettime.
162 (LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME): Set and AC_SUBST.
164 * search-libs.m4: Update from autoconf.
166 su doesn't work on Solaris2.6.
167 * lib-check.m4: When checking for struct spwd.sp_pwdp, also include
168 <shadow.h>. Reported by Dragos Harabor.

172 * check-decl.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Add strndup.
174 2000-05-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
176 * largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Define _GNU_SOURCE if
177 this is needed to make ftello visible (e.g. glibc 2.1.3). Use
178 compile-time test, rather than inspecting host and OS, to
179 decide whether to define _LARGEFILE_SOURCE.
181 2000-05-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
183 * fsusage.m4: Use AC_MSG_CHECKING instead of obsolete AC_CHECKING.
185 * ls-mntd-fs.m4 (jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS): Add BeOS support.
186 Based on a patch from Bruno Haible.
188 2000-04-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
190 * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_GETPAGESIZE): New macro.
193 2000-04-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
196 * jm-macros.m4: (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES) [_GNU_SOURCE]: Emit the
197 actual #define via AH_VERBATIM. Don't need separate AC_DEFINE.
198 Suggestion from Akim Demaille.
200 2000-04-14 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
202 * jm-macros.m4: (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES) [_GNU_SOURCE]: Use the one-arg form
203 of AC_DEFINE. Otherwise, the #ifndef in AH_VERBATIM gets clobbered.
205 2000-04-13 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
207 * jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES) [_GNU_SOURCE]: Use new AH_VERBATIM
208 to insert required #ifndef into config.h.in.
209 Suggestion from Akim Demaille.
211 2000-04-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
213 * getloadavg.m4 (AM_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use AC_CHECK_HEADERS, not
214 `AC_CHECK_HEADER' to check for locale.h. Thanks to a report from
215 Christian Krackowizer.
217 More code moved from ../configure.in into (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES).
218 * jm-macros.m4 (_GNU_SOURCE): Define.
219 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Require.
220 (AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Require.
222 2000-04-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
224 * largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS): Don't use -n32 on
225 IRIX if the installer said otherwise.
227 2000-04-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
229 Portability tweaks required for ultrix4.3.
230 * check-decl.m4 [!HAVE_UTMPX_H] (headers): Include <utmp.h>.
231 (jm_CHECK_DECLS): Add getutent to the list of functions.
232 (_jm_DECL_HEADERS): Add utmpx.h.
233 From John David Anglin.
235 * strftime.m4: Back out the 2000-04-02 change.
236 Instead of that change, simply undefine putenv in the test program.
238 2000-04-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
240 * gettext.m4: Fix typo in comment.
242 * codeset.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Add langinfo.h (moved here from

246 2000-04-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
248 * strftime.m4 (jm_FUNC_GNU_STRFTIME): Set TZ environment
249 variable in the shell rather than using putenv, which isn't
250 portable. This avoids the configure-time inter-test dependency
251 on the potentially-renamed putenv function.
253 2000-03-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
255 * jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Include <sys/stat.h>
256 before checking struct stat.st_blksize, so that
257 HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_BLKSIZE is defined correctly.
259 2000-03-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
261 * strftime.m4 (_jm_STRFTIME_PREREQS): Check for strftime,
262 since strftime.c uses HAVE_STRFTIME to decide whether to use
263 the underlying strftime.
265 2000-03-10 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
267 * lib-check.m4: Look for getspnam in -lgen, too.
270 2000-02-02 Bruno Haible <haible@clisp.cons.org>
272 * codeset.m4: New file.
273 * iconv.m4: New file.
274 * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Call jm_LANGINFO_CODESET and jm_ICONV.
276 2000-03-04 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
278 * jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Require AC_C_VOLATILE,
279 for lib/localcharset.c.
281 2000-03-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
283 * regex.m4: Make sure re_compile_pattern accepts patterns like `{1'.
285 2000-03-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
287 * timespec.m4: Require AC_HEADER_TIME before the cache check so
288 the messages come out on separate lines.
290 * jm-glibc-io.m4 (jm_FUNC_GLIBC_UNLOCKED_IO): Use AC_CHECK_DECLS,
291 rather than jm_CHECK_DECLARATIONS.
292 * decl.m4: Remove now-unused file.
294 * check-decl.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Add getlogin, ttyname, and geteuid.
296 2000-02-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
298 * check-decl.m4: Add getenv to the list.
300 2000-02-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
302 * check-decl.m4: Now that we have the new AC_CHECK_DECLS, use it
305 2000-02-10 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>

308 gnu_nanosleep to rpl_nanosleep.
310 2000-02-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
312 * lib-check.m4 (jm_LIB_CHECK): Fix typo: check for sp_pwdp in
313 struct spwd, rather than in struct passwd. Reported by Gaël Quéri.
315 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
317 * largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS): Quote square brackets with

329 2000-02-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
331 * jm-macros.m4: (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Require most macros.
332 Remove explicit use of AC_HEADER_TIME. It is required by
333 jm_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC. Using AC_HEADER_TIME and
334 `AC_REQUIRE'ing jm_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC provoked a but
335 in autoconf whereby the expansion of the latter ended up preceding
336 the expansion of its prerequisite, AC_HEADER_TIME.
337 Reported by Volker Borchert.
339 2000-02-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
341 * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_READUTMP): Check for utmpxname.
343 2000-02-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
345 * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_ADDEXT): Fix typo that resulted in no
346 definition of HAVE_PATHCONF: s/AC_CHECK_FUNC/AC_CHECK_FUNCS/.
347 Reported by Eli Zaretskii.
349 2000-01-31 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
351 * check-decl.m4 (jm_CHECK_DECLS): Add nanosleep to the list of
352 functions. Add the time.h and sys/time.h headers along with the
353 AC_REQUIRE'ment of AC_HEADER_TIME.
355 2000-01-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
357 * lib-check.m4: Clean up some kludgy old shadow password tests.
359 * prereq.m4 (utmp_includes): Define.
360 Check for ut_user and ut_name members in both struct utmpx
363 2000-01-29 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
365 * lib-check.m4: New file containing library-related checks from
366 fileutils and sh-utils (textutils had none).
368 2000-01-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
370 * perl.m4: Change format of warning message to look more like that
371 from the missing script. Suggestion from François Pinard.
373 2000-01-25 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
375 * timespec.m4: Require AC_HEADER_TIME, and include sys/time.h as well
376 as time.h in the compile check.
377 * nanosleep.m4: Require AC_HEADER_TIME rather than simply using it.
378 Fix typo in cross-compiling case: s/yes/no/.
380 2000-01-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
382 * jm-macros.m4: Move df-related tests here from fileutils/configure.in
384 * ls-mntd-fs.m4: s/list_mounted_fs/ac_list_mounted_fs/
385 (jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS): Take two parameters.
387 * fsusage.m4: New file. Extracted from fileutils/configure.in.
388 s/space/ac_fsusage_space/.
389 (jm_FILE_SYSTEM_USAGE): Take two parameters.
391 * ftruncate.m4: New file (derived from part of fileutils/configure.in).
392 * jm-macros.m4: (jm_FUNC_FTRUNCATE): AC_REQUIRE it.
393 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Require AC_HEADER_MAJOR and AC_HEADER_DIRENT.
395 * jm-macros.m4: (OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS, OPTIONAL_BIN_ZCRIPTS, MAN):
396 AC_SUBST these here, rather than just in sh-util/configure.in, so
397 that the now-shared-by-fileutils-and-textutils lib/Makefile.am are
399 (AM_FUNC_OBSTACK): Add (from fileutils/configure.in).
400 (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Merge all checks from fileutils, textutils, sh-utils.
401 (AM_FUNC_STRTOD): Added (from textutils', sh-utils' configure.in).
402 (AC_SUBST(POW_LIBM)): Likewise.
403 (AC_SUBST(DF_PROG)): Moved from fileutils/configure.in.
405 2000-01-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>

421 Moved tests into their own function (_jm_DECL_HEADERS) in check-decl.m4.
423 * check-decl.m4: Use #if rather than #ifdef.
424 Add HAVE_DECL_STRTOUL and HAVE_DECL_STRTOULL.
425 (jm_CHECK_DECLARATIONS): Add strtoul strtoull.
426 (_jm_DECL_HEADERS): Define new function.
427 (jm_CHECK_DECLARATIONS): Require it.
429 2000-01-19 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
431 * nanosleep.m4 (jm_FUNC_NANOSLEEP): Include <sys/time.h>, too.
432 Use AC_HEADER_TIME. Volker Borchert reported that OpenBSD-2.3/sparc
433 defines `struct timespec' in <sys/time.h>
435 * c-bs-a.m4: Remove uses of changequote altogether.
436 Thanks to Akim for explaining.
438 2000-01-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
440 * jm-macros.m4: Require jm_FUNC_GROUP_MEMBER, jm_FUNC_PUTENV,
441 AM_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, jm_FUNC_GNU_STRFTIME, jm_FUNC_MKTIME,
442 jm_FUNC_GETGROUPS AC_FUNC_VPRINTF, AC_FUNC_ALLOCA,
443 AM_FUNC_GETLOADAVG, and jm_SYS_PROC_UPTIME.
445 2000-01-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
447 * c-bs-a.m4: Use `changequote(<<,>>)', rather than `changequote(, )'
448 because the latter didn't work.
450 2000-01-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
452 * jm-macros.m4 (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Add gethostname and getusershell.
453 (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Add memcpy and memset.
454 Add these, too: stime strcspn stpcpy strstr strtol strtoul.
456 Add these: euidaccess memcmp mkdir rmdir rpmatch strndup strverscmp.

513 fileutils/configure.in)
514 Check for gettimeofday.
516 1999-12-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@ascend.com>
518 * strftime.m4: Remove kludge, now that I'm using the fixed
519 autoconf-2.14a-1999-12-20.
521 1999-12-19 Jim Meyering <meyering@ascend.com>
523 * lstat-slash.m4: New file.
524 * jm-macros.m4: Use the new macro:
525 jm_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK.
527 1999-12-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@ascend.com>

1095 * getline.m4: Don't set am_cv_func_working_getline before the
1096 cache-check for the same variable -- that defeated the purpose of

1098 on systems with losing getline functions -- HP-UX 10.20 is one.
