2013-10-09GNU Make release 4.0.4.0Paul Smith1-2/+2
2013-10-01Release GNU Make version 3.99.93.3.99.93Paul Smith1-2/+2

2013-09-29Reset GNUMAKEFLAGS after parsing.Paul Smith1-3/+6
If we don't do this we'll continually add flags on recursion. This is mainly for users to set in their environment before invoking make.
2013-09-23Release GNU Make version 3.99.92.3.99.92Paul Smith1-2/+2
2013-09-22Add VMS port updates from Hartmut Becker.Paul Smith1-2/+2

2013-09-14[SV 35248] Add --debug "n" flag to turn off current debug options.Paul Smith1-3/+4
2013-09-12Enhance the output sync mode.Paul Smith1-2/+1
Create a new file, output.c, and collect functions that generate output there. We introduce a new global context specifying where output should go (to stdout or to a sync file), and the lowest level output generator chooses where to write output based on that context. This allows us to set the context globally, and all operations that write output (including functions like $(info ...) etc.) will use it. Removed the "--trace=dir" capability. It was too confusing. If you have directory tracking enabled then output sync will print the enter/leave message for each synchronized block. If you don't want that, disable directory tracking.
2013-05-27Create a new variable MAKE_HOST providing the host architecture.Paul Smith1-0/+4
2013-05-26Add dates to the NEWS file to make things simpler.Paul Smith1-20/+20
2013-05-22Force version printing whenever we print the database.Paul Smith1-0/+8
2013-05-17Update for GNU make release candidate 3.99.90.3.99.90Paul Smith1-2/+2
2013-05-17Update copyright for changes in 2013.Paul Smith1-1/+1
2013-05-13Add a new variable: GNUMAKEFLAGSPaul Smith1-6/+13
This allows you to write portable makefiles that set GNU make-specific command line options in the environment or makefile: add them to GNUMAKEFLAGS instead of MAKEFLAGS and they will be seen by GNU make but ignored by other implementations of make.
2013-05-01Mention in NEWS change on Windows with quotes in command lines.Eli Zaretskii1-0/+9
2013-04-28Add support for per-job output sync.Paul Smith1-4/+8
A new flag to the -O/--output-sync, "job", selects a per-job (that is, per line of a recipe) output synchronization. To support this move the close of the temp file out of the sync_output() function and don't do it until we free the child, since we may call sync_output() multiple times in a given recipe. When we set up for a new temp file, if we're in per-job mode we truncate the file and seek to the beginning to re-use it for every job.
2013-04-16Create an open_tmpfd() function to return temp files by FD. Use it.Paul Smith1-2/+8
2012-10-29Implement new "load" directive.Paul Smith1-1/+6
Provides support for dynamically loadable objects in GNU make, as a "technology preview".
2012-03-05Simplify copyrights using ranges of years.Paul Smith1-4/+2
The new GNU Maintainer's Manual allows the use of year ranges in certain situations; take advantage of this simplification.
2012-03-03Modify backslash/newline handling for POSIX.Paul Smith1-5/+6
We fixed Savannah 16670 but that broke previously-working makefiles that relied on the GNU make behavior. The POSIX behavior doesn't seem to me to be better, and can be obtained using GNU make as well, so put it back as the default behavior and require .POSIX to get the POSIX behavior. Add a new section to the manual discussing backslash/newline handling. Update the test suite.
2012-01-30Add support for "::=" simple assignment operator.Paul Smith1-0/+6
The next POSIX standard will define "::=" to have the same behavior as GNU make's ":=", so add support for this new operator.
2012-01-29Create a new function $(file ...)Paul Smith1-6/+8
2012-01-16Update copyright notices.Paul Smith1-4/+5
2012-01-15Add GNU Guile as an optional embedded scripting language for make.Paul Smith1-0/+5
On configure-enabled systems, configure will detect Guile installed (using pkg-config, which is how GNU Guile is distributed) and enable it if so. On all non-configure-enabled systems, currently, the default is for Guile support to be disabled.
2011-11-14Support jobserver capability on Windows systems.Paul Smith1-1/+4
