obsolete: better error message if AM_PROG_MKDIR_P is used
In Automake 1.14, the long-deprecated macro AM_PROG_MKDIR_P will be
removed. Instead of simply dropping the macro definition, which would
cause unclear error messages in aclocal and autoconf:
configure.ac:4: warning: macro 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' not found in library

In Automake 1.13, the long-deprecated (since 2002) macro AM_PROG_CC_STDC
has been removed. Such a removal, albeit sensible and justified, was
probably done in a too-abrupt way, since it didn't turn the pre-existing
warning messages into fatal error messages, but simply dropped the macro
definition, so that remaining usages of it would cause unclear error
messages, e.g.:
configure.ac:4: warning: macro 'AM_PROG_CC_STDC' not found in library
from aclocal, and:
configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_STDC

In Automake 1.13, the long-deprecated macro AM_CONFIG_HEADER (deprecated
since 2002) has been removed in favour of AC_CONFIG_HEADERS. However,
the removal was done without a proper deprecation period, and that
caused packages upgrading to Automake 1.13 to fail with very unclear
error messages, e.g.:

tests: better names for temporary configure.ac files
When editing a pre-existent 'configure.ac' file in a test script, name
the temporary file 'configure.tmp' rather than 'configure.int'; the
latter was a relict of the times when we used 'configure.in' as the
default name for the Autoconf input files throughout the testsuite.

* t/cond42.sh: Likewise. Also, while at it, rename ...
(edit_configure_in): ... this function ...

cleanup: get rid of 'Automake::Configure_ac' module
Now that we unconditionally assume the Autoconf input is named
"configure.ac", it's easier and clearer to inline the checks on
the existence of such a file directly in the automake and
aclocal scripts.
This change is basically a backport of the 'v1.12-327-gee6d72a'
commit from Automake-NG.
* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Configure_ac): Drop this import.
($configure_ac): Define to "configure.ac", unconditionally.
* automake.in: Likewise. Also, in main code, check the existence
of 'configure.ac' directly, instead of calling the now-removed
'require_configure_ac' function.
* aclocal.in: Likewise.
maint: remove last vestiges of 'configure.in' support from the testsuite
* syntax-checks.mk: Don't whitelist any file in the maintainer
check looking against use of 'configure.in' in the testsuite.
* t/autodist-configure-no-subdir.sh: Remove last references to
'configure.in'.
Drop support for 'configure.in' as the Autoconf input file
The autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac' instead. The use
of 'configure.in' has been deprecated in Autoconf since at least
the 2.13 -> 2.50 transition, and future Autoconf versions (starting
with 2.70 probably) will start to warn about it at runtime. Automake
has been warning about it since the 1.13 release.
This change is basically a backport of commit 'v1.12-325-g927d4cb',
from Automake-NG.
* lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Don't look for
'configure.in' if 'configure.ac' is not found.

Drop support for $(ACLOCAL_M4_SOURCES), it's obsolete
The $(ACLOCAL_M4_SOURCES) variables has been obsolete by a long time,
and basically unused (since at least commit ab57cf28 of 2003-04-24), so
drop any mention of it.
* automake.in (scan_aclocal_m4): Flatly reject any ACLOCAL_M4_SOURCES
definition with a fatal error, rather than just warning about it.

$(ACLOCAL_M4_SOURCES). Don't append it to @ac_deps. This makes such
variable always empty, so there's no need to return it. Adjust the
signature of this function accordingly, and ...

* NEWS: Update.
general: assume dot-starting file names are supported
Now that we've dropped support for DJGPP, Windows 95/98/ME
and MS-DOS, that should always the case.
This change is basically a backport of Automake-NG commit
'v1.12-342-ge6af355'.
* lib/am/texibuild.am: Just assume we can have directories whose
name starts with a dot, i.e., that '${am__leading_dot}' expands
to '.'.
* automake.in (require_build_directory): Likewise.
* m4/depend.m4 (AM_SET_DEPDIR): Likewise. Now $(DEPDIR) will
be set unconditionally to '.deps'.

(handle_libtool): Do not bother cleaning '_libs' directories, they
are only used by Libtool on MS-DOS (and we no longer support that
setup).
* syntax-checks.mk (automake_diff_no): Adjust, as now there are only
seven (not eight) different lines between 'automake.in' and 'automake'.
* bootstrap.sh: Don't special case the default value for BOOTSTRAP_SHELL
on DJGPP. While we are at, allow that variable to be overridden from
the environment. Also, adjust comments: we don't use "ln -s" not because
it's not properly supported by DJGPP, but because it might not be
properly supported by MinGW/MSYS.
* configure.ac (MODIFICATION_DELAY): Define to '2' unconditionally, as
we no longer have to cater to quirks of Windows 95/98/ME.
* lib/am/texibuild.am: Remove support for '*.iNN' files used on DJGPP.
* lib/am/texinfos.am: Likewise.
* lib/ylwrap: Remove support for DOS-specific filenames for bison
output.
* t/txinfo19.sh: Remove as obsolete.

its last release in 2006, and is expected to lose support from SGI in
December 2013:

This change fixes automake bug#12967 and bug#12978.
* lib/depcomp (sgi): Remove this depmode.
* NEWS: Update.
tests: a test about warnings in category 'obsolete' was failing spuriously
* t/warnings-obsolete-default.sh : After our removal of $(INCLUDES)
support, this test has been spuriously failing because it was assuming
that a definition of the INCLUDES make variable only caused a warning
rather than a fatal error. Fix it to use a definition of the newly
obsolescent ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS make variable.
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS: fully deprecate, with warnings in the 'obsolete' category
Users are expected to use the AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR{,S} autoconf macros
instead. And the use of the '--install' aclocal option in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS
has proved to be a bad idea anyway -- see automake bug#9037.
It has already been deprecated in the manual and by warnings in the
'obsolete' category for ages (at least since 2003), in favour of
AM_CPPFLAGS. Automake-NG has removed support for it already. And
the warnings in the obsolete category are on by default since the
1.12.4 release.
So, by removing it in Automake 1.14, we will simplify the transition
path for people that want to switch to Automake-NG.
See also Automake-NG commit v1.12-267-g6b74968 of 2012-05-21,
"[ng] compile: don't support $(INCLUDES) anymore, it's obsolete".
* NEWS, doc/automake.texi: Update.
* automake.in (generate_makefile): Reject INCLUDES unconditionally.
In all languages: don't add $(INCLUDES) to the compiler command line.
* t/includes-deprecation.sh: New test.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.
* t/werror2.sh : Adjust to avoid spurious failures.

aclocal: allow third-party macros take precedence over automake ones
It makes sense to allow "local system-wide" m4 macros take precedence
over built-in macros (defined in the aclocal versioned m4 directory
"${prefix}/share/aclocal-${APIVERSION}"), the same way we allow
"environment-level" m4 macros (through the ACLOCAL_PATH environment
variable ) take precedence over system-wide third-party macros.
An example: after this change, a definition of AM_PROG_VALAC placed
in file (say) '/usr/local/share/aclocal/my-vala.m4' should take
precedence over the same-named automake-provided macro defined in
file '/usr/local/share/aclocal-1.14/vala.m4'.
Even more importantly, after this change, m4 macros accessible
through $ACLOCAL_PATH entries will take precedence over m4 macros
defined in the aclocal versioned m4 directory; it was quite counter
intuitive that it was not the case before.
* aclocal.in (scan_m4_files): Search files in @system_includes before
files in @automake_includes.
* t/aclocal-acdir.sh: Adjust.
* t/aclocal-path-precedence.sh: Likewise.
* t/dirlist.sh: Likewise.
* doc/automake.texi: Adjust.
* NEWS: Update.
Finally backporting the AM_PROG_MKDIR_P removal that has already taken
place in Automake-NG. We can safely do this since the latest Gettext
release (1.18.2) has removed all uses of AM_PROG_MKDIR_P, replacing
them with uses of AC_PROG_MKDIR_P instead.

ylwrap: various fixes
Rename properly header guards in generated header files, instead of
leaving Y_TAB_H.
Convert header guards in implementation files. Because ylwrap failed
to rename properly #include in the implementation files, current
versions of Bison (e.g., 2.7) duplicate the generated header file in
the implementation file. The header guard then protects the
implementation file from duplicate definitions from the header file.
Generate header guards with a single '_' for series of non alphabetic
characters, instead of several. This is what Bison does.
Makes the test t/yacc-d-basic.sh pass again.
* lib/ylwrap (guard): Properly honor $1 to rename properly the
header guards.
Keep a single _ instead of several.
(rename_sed): Rename as...
(sed_fix_filenames): this.
Suggested by Stefano Lattarini.
(sed_fix_header_guards): New.
Use it.
* t/tags-pr12372.sh (configure.ac): AC_SUBST the LINK variable to a
dummy invocation, to avoid possible errors from make or the linker;
errors we do not care about in the least in this test.
(Makefile.am, sub/Makefile.am): Remove LINK definitions; simply
inherit that in configure.ac.
tests: re-enable some checks disabled by mistake ...
* t/subpkg-macrodir.sh: ... in this test. And fix some typos that would
have caused the newly re-enabled check to spuriously fail. Issue revealed
by the lack of '.PHONY' support in Solaris CCS make (yes, so we've been
actually *helped* by that make implementation once, at last. Scary ;-)

docs: build the web manuals for CVS in the builddir, not in the srcdir
We can do so using the '-I' option of the gendocs.sh script.
Inspired by the 'web-manual' rule in the 'top/maint.mk' file provided
by gnulib (as of commit v0.0-7741-g4a8c422) as customized by Bison in
its 'cfg.mk' file (as of commit v2.6.5-1007-gf5fceda).

This is partly inspired to the 'gnu-web-doc-update' script from
gnulib. Unfortunately, we can't use that script directly, because
as of now it assumes a build system integrated with gnulib.
* Makefile.am (upload-web-manuals): New .PHONY rule.
(RSYNC, CVS, CVSU, CVS_USER, WEBCVS_ROOT): New variables, used by
the new rule.
Due to the FreeBSD make bug that causes of the well-known automake
bug#7884, two of our bison-requiring tests were failing on FreeBSD.
To avoid this, simply skip the part of these tests affected by that
bug.
* t/yacc-bison-skeleton.sh: Here, using the 'yl_distcheck' function.
* t/yacc-bison-skeleton-cxx.sh: Likewise.
* t/yacc-nodist.sh: While at it, use the 'yl_distcheck' here
as well, instead of running "$MAKE distcheck" only when $MAKE

This improves (and unifies among different tests) the detection of
both the 'pkg-config' program and m4 macros provided by it; they are
needed in particular by tests on Vala support.
Before this, some Vala-related tests were failing spuriously when the
pkg-config program was available but the macros from pkg.m4 were not
made explicitly available in ACLOCAL_PATH. These tests were:
See also similar commit 'v1.11-581-gb7d67d5' of 2011-12-22,

* t/ax/am-test-lib.sh (process_requirements): If a requirement
matches the 'pkg-config*' wildcard, try to make available to it
the pkg-config m4 macros, and skip it if it's not possible.
This is done by sourcing the 'get.sh' fragment generated by ...
* t/pkg-config-macros.sh: ... this new test, which looks in
advance for the 'pkg-config' program and the m4 macros that
comes with it.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Add the new test.
* gen-testsuite-part (%deps_extractor): Tests requiring pkg-config
will need the m4 macros coming with it; so these tests should be
run after the 'pkg-config-macros.sh' test. Automatically generate
proper declarations for such dependencies.
* t/vala-header.sh: No need to explicitly check that the macro
PKG_CHECK_MODULES has been expanded by autoconf.
* t/vala-libs.sh: Likewise.
* t/vala-non-recursive-setup.sh: Likewise.
* t/vala-per-target-flags.sh: Likewise.
* t/vala-recursive-setup.sh: Likewise.
