Automatic conversion of the NetBSD pkgsrc CVS module, use with care

Bugs fixed in 1.8.3:
* Long standing bugs:
- Quote filenames in installation rules, in case $DESTDIR, $prefix,
or any of the other *dir variables contain a space.
Please note that Automake does not and cannot support spaces in
filenames that are involved during the build. This change affects
only installation paths, so that `make install' does not bomb out
in packages configured with
./configure --prefix '/c/Program Files'
- Fix the depfiles output so it works with GNU sed (<4.1) even when
POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
- Do not AC_SUBST(LIBOBJS) in AM_WITH_REGEX. This macro was unusable
since Autoconf 2.54, which defines LIBOBJS itself.
- Fix a potential (but unlikely) race condition in parallel elisp
builds. (Introduced in 1.7.3.)
- Do not assume that users override _DEPENDENCIES in all conditions
where Automake will try to define them.
- Do not use `mkdir -p' in mkinstalldirs, unless this is GNU mkdir.
Solaris 8's `mkdir -p' is not thread-safe and can break parallel
builds.
This fix also affects the $(mkdir_p) variable defined since
Automake 1.8. It will be set to `mkdir -p' only if mkdir is GNU
mkdir, and to `mkinstalldirs' or `install-sh -d' otherwise.
- Secure temporary directory creation in `make distcheck'. (PR/413)
- Do not generate two build rules for `parser.h' when the
parser appears in two different conditionals.
- Work around a Solaris 8 /bin/sh bug in the test for dependency
checking. Usually ./configure will not pick this shell; so this
fix only helps cases where the shell is forced to /bin/sh.
* Bugs introduced by 1.8:
- In some situations (hand-written `m4_include's), aclocal would
call the `File::Spec->rel2abs' method, which was only introduced
in Perl 5.6. This new version reestablish support Perl 5.005.
It is likely that the next major Automake releases will require at
least Perl 5.6. Consider upgrading your development environment
if you are still using the five-year-old Perl 5.005.
- Automake would sometimes fail to define rules for targets listed
in variables defined in multiple conditions. For instance on
if C1
bin_PROGRAMS = a
else
bin_PROGRAMS = b
endif
it would define only the `a.$(OBJEXT): a.c' rule and omit the
`b.$(OBJEXT): b.c' rule.
* New sections in manual:
- Third-Party Makefiles: how to interface third party Makefiles.
- Upgrading: upgrading packages to newer Automake versions.
- Multiple Outputs: handling tools that produce many outputs.
