Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: GNU Autoconf 2.61 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Dermot McCluskey 1.3 Date of This Document: 23 July, 2007 4. Technical Description Update GNU Autoconf to 2.61 1. Summary This fast-track increments the version of Autoconf in Solaris to 2.61 and moves the package from /usr/sfw to /usr. Patch release binding is requested. 2. Discussion Autoconf is a utility that produces scripts to automatically configure source code for building on different UNIX-like platforms. It is usually used in conjunction with the other "auto tools", automake and libtool, to make it easier to build applications on different platforms. The version proposed here is the latest stable version available and will replace version 2.59, which is currently in Solaris. The installed files will also be moved from /usr/sfw to /usr so that the commands can be located in the default path. Autoconf is delivered as: - Seven scripts (Perl and Bourne shell), to be installed in /usr/bin - a set of private Perl modules and M4 macros installed under /usr/share/autoconf - man pages and info documents 3.

Installers who need BIN_SH in their environment should set it before invoking 'configure' and 'make'. As far as we know, this affects only Unixware installations. ** Obsolescent macros The documentation now says that the following macros are obsolescent, as they are superseded by Gnulib: AC_FUNC_FNMATCH AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU AC_FUNC_GETLOADVG AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH New programs should use the Gnulib counterparts of these macros. We have no current plans to remove them from Autoconf. ** AC_COMPUTE_INT no longer caches or reports results. ** AC_CHECK_DECL now also works with aggregate objects. ** AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS now defines _TANDEM_SOURCE for NonStop platforms. ** GNU M4 1.4.7 or later is now recommended. ** m4_mkstemp New M4sugar macro, which is more secure than the POSIX M4 maketemp. ** m4_maketemp Now an alias for m4_mkstemp. * Major changes in Autoconf 2.60a (2006-08-25) ** GNU M4 1.4.6 or later is now recommended. ** The check for C99 now tests for varargs macros, as documented. It also tests that the preprocessor supports 64-bit integers. ** Autoconf now uses constructs like "#ifdef HAVE_STDLIB_H" rather than "#if HAVE_STDLIB_H", so that it now works with "gcc -Wundef -Werror". ** The functionality of the undocumented _AC_COMPUTE_INT is now provided by a public and documented macro, AC_COMPUTE_INT. The parameters to the two macros are different, so autoupdate will not change the old private name to the new one. _AC_COMPUTE_INT may be removed in a future release. ** AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG_INT and AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT now require that long long types be at least 64 bits wide, as C99 and tradition requires. Formerly, they accepted implementations of any width. * Major changes in Autoconf 2.60 Released 2006-06-23, by Ralf Wildenhues. ** Autoconf no longer depends on whether m4wrap is FIFO (as Posix requires) or LIFO (as in GNU M4 1.4.x). GNU M4 2.0 is expected to conform to Posix here, so m4wrap/m4_wrap users should no longer depend on LIFO behavior. ** Provide a way to turn off warnings about the changed directory variables. * Major changes in Autoconf 2.59d Released 2006-06-05, by Ralf Wildenhues. ** GNU make now recommended for VPATH builds INSTALL now suggests VPATH builds (e.g., "sh ../srcdir/configure") only if you use GNU make. In practice, other 'make' implementations have too many subtle incompatibilities in their support for VPATH. Many packages (including Autoconf itself) are portable to other 'make' implementations, but some packages are not, and recommending GNU make keeps the installation instructions simpler. ** Even more safety checks for the new Directory variables: Warn about suspicious `${datarootdir}' found in config files output. ** AC_TRY_COMMAND, AC_TRY_EVAL, ac_config_guess, ac_config_sub, ac_configure These never-documented macros and variables have been marked with comments saying that they may be removed in a future release, because their use can lead to unintended code being executed. If you need functionality that only these macros or variables currently supply, please write bug-autoconf@gnu.org. ** AC_SUBST, AC_DEFINE Literal arguments to these are passed to m4_pattern_allow now. ** AC_PROG_CC_STDC Passing 'ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc=no' to 'configure' now sets ac_cv_prog_cc_c99 and ac_cv_prog_cc_c89 to 'no' as well, for backward compatibility with obsolete K&R tests in the Automake test suite. ** AC_PROG_CXX_C_O New macro. ** AC_PROG_MKDIR_P New macro. ** AS_MKDIR_P Now more robust with special characters in file names, or when multiple processes create the same directory at the same time. ** Obsolescent macros The documentation now says that the following macros are obsolescent: they test for problems that are so old that they are no longer of practical importance on current systems. AC_C_BACKSLASH_A AC_FUNC_MEMCMP AC_HEADER_DIRENT AC_C_CONST AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES AC_HEADER_STAT AC_C_PROTOTYPES AC_FUNC_SETPGRP AC_HEADER_STDC AC_C_STRINGIZE AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED AC_HEADER_SYS_WAIT AC_C_VOLATILE AC_FUNC_STAT AC_HEADER_TIME AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID AC_FUNC_STRFTIME AC_ISC_POSIX AC_FUNC_GETPGRP AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL AC_FUNC_LSTAT AC_FUNC_VPRINTF AC_STRUCT_TM New programs need not use these macros. We have no current plans to remove them. ** autoreconf For compatibility with future Libtool 2.0, autoreconf will invoke libtoolize with the option `--ltdl' now, if LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR is used. * Major changes in Autoconf 2.59c Released 2006-04-12, by Ralf Wildenhues. --Boundary_(ID_LlVBiqFmhcCzqz22bZ//UQ)-- From alan.coopersmith@sun.com Wed Aug 1 12:23:09 2007 Received: from sunmail3mpk.sfbay.sun.com (sunmail3mpk.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.146.11.52]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id l71JN9T8027647 for ; Wed, 1 Aug 2007 12:23:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nwk-avmta-1.SFBay.Sun.COM (nwk-avmta-1.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.146.11.74]) by sunmail3mpk.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.7+Sun/8.13.7/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id l71JKpjR010304; Wed, 1 Aug 2007 12:20:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM by nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0JM400D070ER5M00@nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM>; Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:20:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from jurassic.eng.sun.com ([129.146.17.55]) by nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0JM4006750ELWM80@nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM>; Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:20:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [129.146.108.211] (almas.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.146.108.211]) by jurassic.eng.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id l71JKasb692666; Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:20:39 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:20:36 -0700 From: Alan Coopersmith Subject: Re: GNU Autoconf 2.61 [PSARC/2007/424 FastTrack timeout 07/30/2007] In-reply-to: <46A543C5.8000300@sun.com> To: PSARC-ext@sun.com Cc: Dermot.McCluskey@sun.com, sfwnv Message-id: <46B0DD04.9020702@sun.com> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-PMX-Version: 5.2.0.264296 X-Enigmail-Version: 0.95.1 References: <46A543C5.8000300@sun.com> User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.0 (X11/20070605) Status: RO Content-Length: 353 Alan Coopersmith wrote: > I am sponsoring this fasttrack for Dermot McCluskey, with a timeout of > next Monday, July 30, 2007. This case timed out Monday, but I forgot to mark it as such, so PSARC approved it today during ARC business. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith@sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
