(This version of autoconf fixes bugs and some design + defects which make it unsuitable for my use, but is compatible with + autoconf 2.50). + + Improvements: + + + modify the AC_OUTPUT macro by allowing it to generate the contents + of the config.h file rather than simply substituting in a template. + (This requires adding AC_SETUP_DEFS() as well). + + + add utility macro AC_DIVERT_HELP to add text to the + enable/with options list. + + Fixes: + + + Correct error in top-level Makefile.in which prevented "make + distclean" when the file was not writable (a bug in automake + causes it to regenerate some of the makefile templates). + Make sure the file is writable, as a workaround. + + + Remove the --include-deps option from automake in the top-level + Makefile.in, which also prevented builds from pristine source. + + + Tidy up the alignment in the boilerplate for --help, correct some + spelling errors. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +2001-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> + + Version 2.52. + +2001-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> + + The C-Fortran 77 hooks are available only once AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN + was run, while they are needed also when it is expanded. + Reported by Nicolas Joly. + + * aclang.m4 (AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN): Define _AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS. + (AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C)): Use it instead of depending upon + AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN being expanded. + +2001-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> + + * configure.in: Bump to 2.51a. + +2001-07-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> + + Version 2.51. + +2001-07-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> + + * aclang.m4 (AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN): Let the interface be more + Autoconfy: $1 = action-if-found, $2 = action-if-not-found. + +2001-07-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> + + The runtime test for AC_FUNC_GETPGRP fails when prototypes are + used.
