Subject: * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for mkdir_p.
X-Git-Tag: Release-1-9b~8
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d5358968b3ce766396ba5de76eb42454f835b827;p=thirdparty%2Fautomake.git

* Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for mkdir_p.
* automake.texi (Obsolete macros): Document AM_PROG_MKDIR_P.
* lib/am/data.am, lib/am/distdir.am, lib/am/install.am,
lib/am/java.am, lib/am/libs.am, lib/am/lisp.am, lib/am/ltlib.am,
lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
* m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
* tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
Adjust.

   - Automake installs an "Hello World!" example package in $(docdir).
     This example is used thorough the new "Autotools Introduction"

+    $(MKDIR_P) instead of $(mkdir_p) to create directories.  The
+    $(mkdir_p) variable is still defined (to the same value as

+From Automake 1.8 to 1.9.6 this macro used to define the output
+variable @code{mkdir_p} to one of @code{mkdir -p}, @code{install.sh
+-d}, or @code{mkinstalldirs}.
+
+Nowadays Autoconf provides a similar functionality with
+@code{AC_PROG_MKDIR_P} (@pxref{Particular Programs, , Particular
+Program Checks, autoconf, The Autoconf Manual}), however this defines
+the output variable @code{MKDIR_P} instead.  Therefore
+@code{AM_PROG_MKDIR_P} has been rewritten as a thin wrapper around
+@code{AC_PROG_MKDIR_P} to define @code{mkdir_p} to the same value as
+@code{MKDIR_P} for backward compatibility.
+
+If you are using Automake, there is normally no reason to call this
+macro, because @code{AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE} already does so.  However, make
+sure that the custom rules in your @file{Makefile}s use
+@code{$(MKDIR_P)} and not @code{$(mkdir_p)}.  Even if both variables
+still work, the latter should be considered obsolete.
+
+If you are not using Automake, please call @code{AC_PROG_MKDIR_P}
+instead of @code{AM_PROG_MKDIR_P}.
