bug#11543: 3 test failures with automake-1.12.0 and perl-5.16.0

Hi,

aclocal8, acsilent and unused test cases all fail if I have the newly
released perl-5.16.0 installed.

The error appears to be because of a change in Perl, which now ends up
outputting the following to stderr:

main::scan_file() called too early to check prototype
at /sources/automake-1.12/aclocal line 642.

I've attached the logs.  If you require any further information, just
let me know.

Thanks,

Matt.

I just tested on Solaris 9 Sparc with Sun Studio 12 and got 170 failed tests
as described in the testsuite log:
  http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/~dam/automake-1.12.0b-test-suite.log

Please let me know if you need further information or access to the buildfarm.

Best regards

I got two self-test failures with automake 1.12 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
The first was the 'lex-clean' issue that was already reported.  The
other I couldn't find any report for, so please find test-suite.log
output for the failing test below.

bug#11422: automake 1.12 info doc installation problem

Hi,

I have installed automake-1.12 a couple of days ago. In particular
the info format documentation was installed as well:

$ ls -lrt /arch/x86-linux/gnu/share/info/
...
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin  227199 25. Apr 11:16 standards.info
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 1142045 25. Apr 11:16 autoconf.info
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin   27543 29. Apr 01:09 dir
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin   74585 29. Apr 01:09 automake.info-3
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin  232045 29. Apr 01:09 automake.info-2
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin  296172 29. Apr 01:09 automake.info-1
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin    7620 29. Apr 01:09 automake.info
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin   78461 29. Apr 01:09 automake-history.info

The 'info' program finds the documentation of 'standards', 'autoconf',
'automake-history', but not the documentation of 'automake':

$ export INFOPATH=/arch/x86-linux/gnu/share/info
$ info --version
info (GNU texinfo) 4.13
...
$ info standards
(OK)
$ info autoconf
(OK)
$ info automake-history
(OK)
$ info automake

bug#11413: Racy failure in test case 'tap-more.sh'

Severity: minor

I'm sporadically seeing the failure below in the test 'tap-more.sh'.

Anyone has an insight about what's going on?

  Stefano

bug#11401: automake-1.12 (incorrectly?) complains about missing AM_PROG_AR

consider this simple code base:
$ cat configure.ac
AC_PREREQ([2.63])
AC_INIT([foo], [0])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([1.11 -Wall foreign])
AC_PROG_CC
LT_INIT
AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)

$ cat Makefile.am
lib_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la
libfoo_la_SOURCES = foo.c

$ touch foo.c

with automake-1.11.5, everything works great:
$ autoreconf -f -i
libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and
libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree.
libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.

however, upgrade to automake-1.12, and it starts spitting this:
libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and
libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree.
libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.
/usr/share/automake-1.12/am/ltlibrary.am: warning: 'libfoo.la': linking libtool libraries using a non-POSIX
/usr/share/automake-1.12/am/ltlibrary.am: archiver requires 'AM_PROG_AR' in 'configure.ac'

what gives ?

bug#11387: automake 1.12 test failures

Hi,

On a bi-arch Linux/glibc system (x86, x86_64) I'm getting 3 test failures
when building for 32-bit mode:

Let's analyze the t/fort4 failure. The two other failures look similar.

bug#11377: configure.am - fails to remove configure before attempting replacement

Under certain very reasonable scenarios, the configure file contained within
some source tree may perhaps be marked as read-only.  When and if this occurs,
automake will fail to remove the configure file before it attempts to generate
it anew.  The following trivial patch corrects this problem.

I would really appreciate it if this small patch could be incorporated into
future releases of automake.  It does no harm, and it can provably do some
good in certain circumstances.

bug#11369: 2 test failures in Automake-1.12

Hi,

Testing the latest release of Automake, I see test failures in
dist-readonly and lex-clean.  I've attached the relevant sections of
test-suite.log.

Thanks,

Matt.
