Renamed to follow the GNU make scheme. Also + added some support for using Purify with make. + + Rob Tulloh contributed some changes to get the test suite running on + NT; I tweaked them a bit (hopefully I didn't break anything!) Note + that NT doesn't grok the self-exec funkiness that Unix shells use, + so instead I broke that out into a separate shell script + "run_make_tests" that invokes perl with the (renamed) script + run_make_tests.pl. + + Eli Zaretski contributed changes to get the test suite running on + DOS with DJGPP. I also meddled in these somewhat. + + If you're on DOS or NT you should run "perl.exe run_make_tests.pl ..." + If you're on Unix, you can continue to run "./run_make_tests ..." as + before. + +Changes from 0.4.8 to 0.4.9 (May 14, 1998): + + Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to + blame for problems in this version :). + + Add some perl to test_driver.pl to strip out GNU make clock skew + warning messages from the output before comparing it to the + known-good output. + + A new test for escaped :'s in filenames (someone on VMS found this + didn't work anymore in 3.77): scripts/features/escape. + +Changes from 0.4.7 to 0.4.8 (May 14, 1998): + + Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to + blame for problems in this version :). + + New tests for features to be included in GNU make 3.77. + +Changes from 0.4.6 to 0.4.7 (August 18, 1997): + + Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to + blame for problems in this version :). + + Reworked some tests to make sure they all work with both perl4 and perl5. + + Work around a bug in perl 5.004 which doesn't clean the environment + correctly in all cases (fixed in at least 5.004_02). + + Updated functions/strip to test for newline stripping. + + Keep a $PURIFYOPTIONS env variable if present. + +Changes from 0.4.5 to 0.4.6 (April 07, 1997): + + Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to + blame for problems in this version :). + + Updated to work with GNU make 3.76 (and pretests). + + Added new tests and updated existing ones. Note that the new tests + weren't tested with perl 4, however I think they should work. + + Ignore any tests whose filenames end in "~", so that Emacs backup + files aren't run. + +Changes from 0.4.4 to 0.4.5 (April 29, 1995): + + Updated to be compatible with perl 5.001 as well as 4.036. + + Note: the test suite still won't work on 14-char filesystems + (sorry, Kaveh), but I will get to it. + + Also, some tests and stuff still haven't made it in because I + haven't had time to write the test scripts for them. But they, + too, will get in eventually. Contributions of scripts (i.e., tests + that I can just drop in) are particularly welcome and will be + incorporated immediately. + +Changes from 0.4.3 to 0.4.4 (March 1995): + + Updated for changes in make 3.72.12, and to ignore CVS directories + (thanks go to Jim Meyering for the patches for this). + + Fixed uname call to not make a mess on BSD/OS 2.0 (whose uname -a + is very verbose). Let me know if this doesn't work correctly on + your system. + + Changed to display test name while it is running, not just when it + finishes. + + Note: the test suite still won't work on 14-char filesystems + (sorry, Kaveh), but I will get to it. + + Also, some tests and stuff still haven't made it in because I + haven't had time to write the test scripts for them. But they, + too, will get in eventually. + +Changes from 0.4 to 0.4.3 (October 1994): + + Fixed bugs (like dependencies on environment variables). + + Caught up with changes in make. + + The load_limit test should now silently ignore a failure due to + make not being able to read /dev/kmem. + + Reorganized tests into subdirs and renamed lots of things so that + those poor souls who still have to deal with 14-char filename + limits won't hate me any more. Thanks very much to Kaveh R. Ghazi + <ghazi@noc.rutgers.edu> for helping me with the implementation and + testing of these changes, and for putting up with all my whining + about it... + + Added a $| = 1 so that systems that don't seem to automatically + flush their output for some reason will still print all the + output. I'd hate for someone to miss out on the smiley that + you're supposed to get when all the tests pass... :-) + +Changes from 0.3 to 0.4 (August 1993): + + Lost in the mists of time (and my hurry to get it out before I + left my job). + +Changes from 0.2 to 0.3 (9-30-92): + + Several tests fixed to match the fact that MAKELEVEL > 0 or -C now + imply -w. + + parallel_execution test fixed to not use double colon rules any + more since their behavior has changed. + + errors_in_commands test fixed to handle different error messages + and return codes from rm. + + Several tests fixed to handle -make_path with a relative path + and/or a name other than "make" for make. + + dash-e-option test fixed to use $PATH instead of $USER (since the + latter does not exist on some System V systems). This also + removes the dependency on getlogin (which fails under certain + weird conditions). + + test_driver_core changed so that you can give a test name like + scripts/errors_in_commands and it will be handled correctly (handy + if you have a shell with filename completion). + +Changes from 0.1 to 0.2 (5-4-92): + + README corrected to require perl 4.019, not 4.010. + + -make_path replaces -old. + + errors_in_commands test updated for change in format introduced in + make 3.62.6. + + test_driver_core now uses a better way of figuring what OS it is + running on (thanks to meyering@cs.utexas.edu (Jim Meyering) for + suggesting this, as well as discovering the hard way that the old + way (testing for /mnt) fails on his machine). + + Some new tests were added. + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Copyright (C) 1992-2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc. +This file is part of GNU Make. + +GNU Make is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the +terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software +Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later +version. + +GNU Make is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY +WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR +A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
