+1998-07-28  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* Version 3.77 released.
+
+	* dosbuild.bat: Change to DOS CRLF line terminators.
+
+	* make-stds.texi: Update from latest version.
+
+	* make.texinfo (Options Summary): Clarify that the -r option
+	affects only rules, not builtin variables.
+
+1998-07-27  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* make.h: Make __attribute__ resolve to empty for non-GCC _and_
+	for GCC pre-2.5.x.
+
+	* misc.c (log_access): Print UID/GID's as unsigned long int for
+	maximum portability.
+
+	* job.c (reap_children): Print PIDs as long int for maximum
+	portability.
+
+1998-07-24  Eli Zaretskii  <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
+
+	* Makefile.DOS (*_INSTALL, *_UNINSTALL): Replace `true' with `:'.
+
+1998-07-25  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* Version 3.76.94 released.
+
+1998-07-23  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* config.h.W32.template: Make sure all the #defines of macros here
+	have a value (e.g., use ``#define HAVE_STRING_H 1'' instead of
+	just ``#define HAVE_STRING_H''.  Keeps the preprocessor happy in
+	some contexts.
+
+	* make.h: Remove __attribute__((format...)) stuff; using it with
+	un-prototyped functions causes older GCC's to fail.
+
+	* Version 3.76.93 released.
+
+1998-07-22  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* file.c (print_file_data_base): Fix average calculation.
+
+1998-07-20  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* main.c (die): Postpone the chdir() until after
+	remove_intermediates() so that intermediate targets with relative
+	pathnames are removed properly.
+
+1998-07-17  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* filedef.h (struct file): New flag: did we print an error or not?
+
+	* remake.c (no_rule_error): New function to print error messages,
+	extraced from remake_file().
+
+	* remake.c (remake_file): Invoke the new error print function.
+	(update_file_1): Invoke the error print function if we see that we
+	already tried this target and it failed, but that an error wasn't
+	printed for it.  This can happen if a file is included with
+	-include or sinclude and couldn't be built, then later is also
+	the dependency of another target.  Without this change, make just
+	silently stops :-/.
+
+1998-07-16  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* make.texinfo: Removed "beta" version designator.
+	Updated ISBN for the next printing.
+
+1998-07-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
+
+	* acinclude.m4: New AC_LFS macro to determine if special compiler
+	flags are needed to allow access to large files (e.g., Solaris 2.6).
+	* configure.in: Invoke it.
+
+1998-07-08  Eli Zaretskii  <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
+
+	* Makefile.DOS: track changes in Makefile.in.
+
+1998-07-07  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* remote-cstms.c (start_remote_job): Move gethostbyaddr() to the
+	top so host is initialized early enough.
+
+	* acinclude.m4: New file.  Need some special autoconf macros to
+	check for network libraries (-lsocket, -lnsl, etc.) when
+	configuring Customs.
+
+	* configure.in (make_try_customs): Invoke new network libs macro.
+
+1998-07-06  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* Version 3.76.92 released.
+
+	* README.customs: Added to the distribution.
+
+	* configure.in (make_try_customs): Rewrite to require an installed
+	Customs library, rather than looking at the build directory.
+
+	* Makefile.am (man_MANS): Install make.1.
+	* make.1: Renamed from make.man.
+
+	* make.texinfo (Bugs): New mailing list address for GNU make bug
+	reports.
+
+1998-07-02  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* Version 3.76.91 released.
+
+	* default.c: Added default rule for new-style RCS master file
+	storage; ``% :: RCS/%''.
+	Added default rules for DOS-style C++ files with suffix ".cpp".
+	They use the new LINK.cpp and COMPILE.cpp macros, which are set by
+	default to be equal to LINK.cc and COMPILE.cc.
+
+1998-06-19  Eli Zaretskii  <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
+
+        * job.c (start_job_command): Reset execute_by_shell after an empty
+        command was skipped.
+
+1998-06-09  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* main.c (main): Keep track of the temporary filename created when
+	reading a makefile from stdin (-f-) and attempt to remove it
+	as soon as we know we're not going to re-exec.  If we are, add it
+	to the exec'd make's cmd line with "-o" so the exec'd make doesn't
+	try to rebuild it.  We still have a hole: if make re-execs then
+	the temporary file will never be removed.  To fix this we'd need
+	a brand new option that meant "really delete this".
+	* AUTHORS, getopt.c, getopt1.c, getopt.h, main.c (print_version):
+	Updated mailing addresses.
+
+1998-06-08  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* main.c (main): Andreas Luik <luik@isa.de> points out that the
+	check for makefile :: rules with commands but no dependencies
+	causing a loop terminates incorrectly.
+
+	* maintMakefile: Make a template for README.DOS to update version
+	numbers.
+
+1998-05-30  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>
+
+	* remake.c (update_file_1): Don't free the memory for the
+	dependency structure when dropping a circular dependency.
+
+1998-05-30  Eli Zaretskii  <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
+
+	* dir.c (file_exists_p, file_impossible_p, file_impossible)
+	[__MSDOS__, WINDOWS32]: Retain trailing slash in "d:/", and make
+	dirname of "d:foo" be "d:".
+
+1998-05-26  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>
+
+	* read.c (read_makefile): Avoid running past EOS when scanning
+	file name after `include'.
+
+1998-05-26  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>
+
+	* make.texinfo (Flavors): Correct description of conditional
+	assignment, which is not equivalent to ifndef.
+	(Setting): Likewise.
+
+1998-05-24  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* arscan.c (ar_name_equal): strncmp() might be implemented as a
+	macro, so don't put preprocessor conditions inside the arguments
+	list.
+
+1998-05-23  Eli Zaretskii  <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
+
+	* read.c (read_makefile) [__MSDOS__, WINDOWS32]: Skip colons in
+	drive specs when parsing targets, target-specific variables and
+	static pattern rules.  A colon can only be part of drive spec if
+	it is after the first letter in a token.
+
+1998-05-22  Eli Zaretskii  <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
+
+	* remake.c (f_mtime) [__MSDOS__]: Allow up to 3 sec of skew before
+	yelling bloody murder.
+
+	* dosbuild.bat: Use -DINCLUDEDIR= and -DLIBDIR= where appropriate.
+
+	* read.c (parse_file_seq): Combine the special file-handling code
+	for WINDOWS32 and __MSDOS__ into a single snippet.
+	(get_next_mword) [__MSDOS__, WINDOWS32]: Allow a word to include a
+	colon as part of a drive spec.
+
+	* job.c (batch_mode_shell) [__MSDOS__]: Declare.
+
+1998-05-20  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* Version 3.76.90 released.
+
+1998-05-19  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* make.texinfo (Make Errors): Added a new appendix describing
+	common errors make might generate and how to resolve them (or at
+	least more information on what they mean).
+
+	* maintMakefile (NMAKEFILES): Use the new automake 1.3 feature
+	to create a dependency file to construct Makefile.DOS, SMakefile,
+	and NMakefile.
+	(.dep_segment): Generate the dependency fragment file.
+
+1998-05-14  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* make.man: Minor changes.
+
+1998-05-13  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* function.c (pattern_matches,expand_function): Change variables
+	and types named "word" to something else, to avoid compilation
+	problems on Cray C90 Unicos.
+	* variable.h: Modify the function prototype.
+
+1998-05-11  Rob Tulloh  <rob_tulloh@tivoli.com>
+
+	* job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): [WINDOWS32] Turn off
+	echo when using a batch file, and make sure the command ends in a
+	newline.
+
+1998-05-03  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* configure.in (make_try_customs): Add some customs flags if the
+	user configures custom support.
+
+	* job.c, remote-cstms.c: Merge in changes for custom library.
+
+	* remote-stub.c: Add option to stub start_remote_job_p().
+
+1998-05-01  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* remake.c (f_mtime): Install VPATH+ handling for archives; use
+	the hname field instead of the name field, and rehash when
+	appropriate.
+
+1998-04-30  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* rule.c (print_rule_data_base): Print out any pattern-specific
+	variable values into the rules database.
+
+	* variable.c (print_variable_set): Make this variable extern, to
+	be called by print_rule_data_base() for pattern-specific variables.
+
+	* make.texinfo (Pattern-specific): Document pattern-specific
+	variables.
+
+1998-04-29  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* expand.c (variable_expand_for_file): Make static; its only
+	called internally.  Look up this target in the list of
+	pattern-specific variables and insert the variable set into the
+	queue to be searched.
+
+	* filedef.h (struct file): Add a new field to hold the
+	previously-found pattern-specific variable reference.  Add a new
+	flag to remember whether we already searched for this file.
+
+	* rule.h (struct pattern_var): New structure for storing
+	pattern-specific variable values.  Define new function prototypes.
+
+	* rule.c: New variables pattern_vars and last_pattern_var for
+	storage and handling of pattern-specific variable values.
+	(create_pattern_var): Create a new pattern-specific variable value
+	structure.
+	(lookup_pattern_var): Try to match a target to one of the
+	pattern-specific variable values.
+
+1998-04-22  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* make.texinfo (Target-specific): Document target-specific
+	variables.
+
+1998-04-21  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* variable.c (define_variable_in_set): Made globally visible.
+	(lookup_variable_in_set): New function: like lookup_variable but
+	look only in a specific variable set.
+	(target_environment): Use lookup_variable_in_set() to get the
+	correct export rules for a target-specific variable.
+	(create_new_variable_set): Create a new variable set, and just
+	return it without installing it anywhere.
+	(push_new_variable_scope): Reimplement in terms of
+	create_new_variable_set.
+
+	* read.c (record_target_var): Like record_files, but instead of
+	files create a target-specific variable value for each of the
+	listed targets.  Invoked from read_makefile() when the target line
+	turns out to be a target-specific variable assignment.
+
+1998-04-19  Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* read.c (read_makefile): Rewrite the entire target parsing
+	section to implement target-specific variables.  In particular, we
+	cannot expand the entire line as soon as it's read in, since we
+	may want to evaluate parts of it with different variable contexts
+	active.  Instead, start expanding from the beginning until we find
+	the `:' (or `::'), then determine what kind of line this is and
+	continue appropriately.
+
+	* read.c (get_next_mword): New function to parse a makefile line
+	by "words", considering an entire variable or function as one
+	word.  Return the type read in, along with its starting position
+	and length.
+	(enum make_word_type): The types of words that are recognized by
+	get_next_mword().
+
+	* variable.h (struct variable): Add a flag to specify a per-target
+	variable.
+
+	* expand.c: Make variable_buffer global.  We need this during the
+	new parsing of the makefile.
+	(variable_expand_string): New function.  Like variable_expand(),
+	but start at a specific point in the buffer, not the beginning.
+	(variable_expand): Rewrite to simply call variable_expand_string().
+
+1998-04-13  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* remake.c (update_goal_chain): Allow the rebuilding makefiles
+	step to use parallel jobs.  Not sure why this was disabled:
+	hopefully we won't find out :-/.
+
+1998-04-11  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* main.c (main): Set the CURDIR makefile variable.
+	* make.texinfo (Recursion): Document it.
+
+1998-03-17  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* misc.c (makefile_fatal): If FILE is nil, invoke plain fatal().
+	* variable.c (try_variable_definition): Use new feature.
+
+1998-03-10  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* main.c (main): Don't pass included, rebuilt makefiles to
+	re-exec'd makes with -o.  Reopens a possible loop, but it caused
+	too many problems.
+
+1998-03-02  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+
+	* variable.c (try_variable_definition): Implement ?=.
+	* make.texinfo (Setting): Document it.
+
+1998-02-28  Eli Zaretskii  <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
+
+	* job.c (start_job_command): Reset execute_by_shell after an empty
+        command, like ":", has been seen.
+
+Tue Oct 07 15:00:00 1997  Phil Brooks <phillip_brooks@hp.com>
+
+	* make.h: [WINDOWS32] make case sensitivity configurable
+	* dir.c: [WINDOWS32] make case sensitivity configurable
+	* README.W32: Document case sensitivity
+	* config.ami: Share case warping code with Windows
+
+Mon Oct  6 18:48:45 CDT 1997 Rob Tulloh <rob_tulloh@dev.tivoli.com>
+
+	* w32/subproc/sub_proc.c: Added support for MKS toolkit shell
+	(turn on HAVE_MKS_SHELL).
+	* read.c: [WINDOWS32] Fixed a problem with multiple target rules
+ 	reported by Gilbert Catipon (gcatipon@tibco.com).  If multiple
+ 	path tokens in a rule did not have drive letters, make would
+ 	incorrectly concatenate the 2 tokens together.
+	* main.c/variable.c: [WINDOWS32] changed SHELL detection code to
+ 	follow what MSDOS did. In addition to watching for SHELL variable
+ 	updates, make's main will attempt to default the value of SHELL
+ 	before and after makefiles are parsed.
+	* job.c/job.h: [WINDOWS32] The latest changes made to enable use
+ 	of the GNUWIN32 shell from make could cause make to fail due to a
+ 	concurrency condition between parent and child processes.  Make
+ 	now creates a batch file per job instead of trying to reuse the
+ 	same singleton batch file.
+	* job.c/job.h/function.c/config.h.W32: [WINDOWS32] Renamed macro
+ 	from HAVE_CYGNUS_GNUWIN32_TOOLS to BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SHELL. Reworked
+ 	logic to reduce complexity. WINDOWS32 now uses the unixy_shell
+ 	variable to detect Bourne-shell compatible environments. There is
+ 	also a batch_mode_shell variable that determines whether not
+ 	command lines should be executed via script files. A WINDOWS32
+ 	system with no sh.exe installed would have unixy_shell set to
+ 	FALSE and batch_mode_shell set to TRUE. If you have a unixy shell
+ 	that does not behave well when invoking things via 'sh -c xxx',
+ 	you may want to turn on BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SHELL and see if things
+ 	improve.
+	* NMakefile: Added /D DEBUG to debug build flags so that unhandled
+ 	exceptions could be debugged.
+
+Mon Oct  6 00:04:25 1997  Rob Tulloh <rob_tulloh@dev.tivoli.com>
+
+	* main.c: [WINDOWS32] The function define_variable() does not
+ 	handle NULL. Test before calling it to set Path.
+	* main.c: [WINDOWS32] Search Path again after makefiles have been
+	parsed to detect sh.exe.
+	* job.c: [WINDOWS32] Added support for Cygnus GNU WIN32 tools.
+	To use, turn on HAVE_CYGNUS_GNUWIN32_TOOLS in config.h.W32.
+	* config.h.W32: Added HAVE_CYGNUS_GNUWIN32_TOOLS macro.
+
+Sun Oct  5 22:43:59 1997  John W. Eaton <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu>
+
+	* glob/glob.c (glob_in_dir): [VMS] Globbing shouldn't be
+	case-sensitive.
+	* job.c (child_execute_job): [VMS] Use a VMS .com file if the
+	command contains a newline (e.g. from a define/enddef block).
+	* vmsify.c (vmsify): Return relative pathnames wherever possible.
+	* vmsify.c (vmsify): An input string like "../.." returns "[--]".
+
+Wed Oct  1 15:45:09 1997  Rob Tulloh <rob_tulloh@tivoli.com>
+
+	* NMakefile: Changed nmake to $(MAKE).
+	* subproc.bat: Take the make command name from the command
+	line. If no command name was given, default to nmake.
+	* job.c: [WINDOWS32/MSDOS] Fix memory stomp: temporary file names
+	are now always created in heap memory.
+	* w32/subproc/sub_proc.c: New implementation of make_command_line()
+	which is more compatible with different Bourne shell implementations.
+	Deleted the now obsolete fix_command_line() function.
+	* main.c: [WINDOWS32] Any arbitrary spelling of Path can be
+	detected. Make will ensure that the special spelling `Path' is
+	inserted into the environment when the path variable is propagated
+	within itself and to make's children.
+	* main.c: [WINDOWS32] Detection of sh.exe was occurring too
+	soon. The 2nd check for the existence of sh.exe must come after
+	the call to read_all_makefiles().
+
+Fri Sep 26 01:14:18 1997  <zinser@axp602.gsi.de>
+
+	* makefile.com: [VMS] Fixed definition of sys.
+	* readme.vms: Comments on what's changed lately.
+
+Fri Sep 26 01:14:18 1997  John W. Eaton <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu>
+
+	* read.c (read_all_makefiles): Allow make to find files named
+	"MAKEFILE" with no extension on VMS.
+	* file.c (lookup_file): Lowercase filenames on VMS.
+
+1997-09-29  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@baynetworks.com>
+
+	* read.c (read_makefile): Reworked target detection again; the old
+	version had an obscure quirk.
+
 Fri Sep 19 09:20:49 1997  Paul D. Smith  <psmith@baynetworks.com>
 
+	* Version 3.76.1 released.
+
 	* Makefile.am: Add loadavg files to clean rules.
 
 	* configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Remove stamp-config; no longer needed.
