2007-11-04New special variable: .RECIPEPREFIXPaul Smith1-0/+63
Allows the user to reset the prefix character for introducing recipe lines from the default (tab) to any other single character, and back again. Also, reworked the manual to consistently use the word "recipe" to describe the set of commands we use to update a target, instead of the various phrases used in the past: "commands", "command lines", "command scripts", etc.
2006-10-01Fixed a number of documentation bugs, plus some build/install issues:Paul Smith1-11/+10
16304, 16468, 16577, 17701, 17880, 16051, 16652, 16698 Plus some from the mailing list. Imported a patch from Eli to allow Cygwin builds to support DOS-style pathnames.
2006-03-10Numerous updates to tests for issues found on Cygwin and Windows.Paul Smith1-8/+11
Revert a fix for $? including non-existent files as it shows a bug in the Linux kernel build. Give them a release to fix this. Add some changes from Eli Z. for Windows changes.
2006-02-15Fix Savannah bug #106: keep separate track of which variable we arePaul Smith1-0/+46
expanding, and use that info when generating error messages instead of the file info, where appropriate.
2006-01-04Various changes getting ready for the release of 3.81.Paul Smith1-5/+16
- Updates to make.texi and make.1 and other documentation - Some VMS patches - Fix minor bugs reported on the mailing list and from Debian.
2005-11-14Implemented the .INCLUDE_DIRS special variable. It expands to a listBoris Kolpackov1-0/+46
of directories that make searches for included makefiles.
2005-10-24Make second expansion optional (partial implementation).Paul Smith1-3/+4
I decided this feature was too impacting to make the permanent default behavior. This set of changes makes the default behavior of make the old behavior (no second expansion). If you want second expansion, you must define the .SECONDEXPANSION: special target before the first target that needs it. This set of changes ONLY fixes explicit and static pattern rules to work like this. Implicit rules still have second expansion enabled all the time: I'll work on that next. Note that there is still a backward-incompatibility: now to get the old SysV behavior using $$@ etc. in the prerequisites list you need to set .SECONDEXPANSION: as well.
2005-08-25If we're on a DOS/W32/OS2 system and we're not using a unixy shell, don'tPaul Smith1-10/+10
follow POSIX backslash/newline conventions. Use a different method for testing the SHELL variable, which hopefully will work better on non-UNIX systems.
2005-07-12Various minor updates and code cleanups.Paul Smith1-3/+10
2005-07-04Various fixes and updates from testers of the beta3 release (mostly WindowsPaul Smith1-1/+1
and OS/2 changes).
2005-06-25Add a new variable: MAKE_RESTARTS, to count how many times make has re-exec'd.Paul Smith1-0/+62
When rebuilding makefiles, unset -B if MAKE_RESTARTS is >0.
2005-05-03Fix problems with losing tokens in the jobserver, reported by GrantPaul Smith1-12/+12
Taylor. There are two forms of this: first, it was possible to lose tokens when using -j and -l at the same time, because waiting jobs were not checked when determining whether any jobs were outstanding. Second, if you had an exported recursive variable that contained a $(shell ...) function there is a possibility to lose tokens, since a token was taken but the child list was not updated until after the shell function was complete. To resolve this I introduced a new variable that counted the number of tokens we have obtained, rather than checking whether there were any children on the list. I also added some sanity checks to make sure we weren't writing back too many or not enough tokens. And, the master make will drain the token pipe before exiting and compare the count of tokens at the end to what was written there at the beginning. Also: * Ensure a bug in the environment (missing "=") doesn't cause make to core. * Rename the .DEFAULT_TARGET variable to .DEFAULT_GOAL, to match the terminology in the documentation and other variables like MAKECMDGOALS. * Add documentation of the .DEFAULT_GOAL special variable. Still need to document the secondary expansion stuff...

2005-03-09Fixed Savannah bug #12266.Boris Kolpackov1-1/+20
2005-02-28* New feature: -L optionPaul Smith2-1/+3
* New function: $(info ...) * Disallow $(eval ...) to create prereq relationships inside command scripts (caused core dumps) * Try to allow more tests to succeed in Windows/DOS by sanitizing CRLF and \ * Various bug fixes and code cleanups (see the ChangeLog entry)

rules, static pattern rules and implicit rules.
2004-11-29Fix bug #10252: Remove any trailing slashes from -C arguments (WINDOWS32).Paul Smith1-0/+25
Add a regression test for "@" before a define/enddef vs. one inside.
2004-11-28Fix for bug #1276: Handle SHELL according to POSIX requirements.Paul Smith2-2/+50
POSIX requires that the value of SHELL in the makefile NOT be exported to sub-commands. Instead, the value in the environment when make was invoked should be passed to the environment of sub-commands. Note that make still uses SHELL to _run_ sub-commands; it just doesn't change the value of the SHELL variable in the environment of sub-commands. As an extension to POSIX, if the makefile explicitly exports SHELL then GNU make _will_ use it in the environment of sub-commands.
2004-09-21Add some more unit tests for variable flavors.Paul Smith1-0/+73
Allow run_make_tests() to be invoked with an undef makefile string, in which case it re-uses the previous string.
2004-05-16Various enhancementsPaul Smith1-18/+4
- OS/2 Patches - OpenVMS updates - Sanitize the handling of -include/sinclude with and without -k - Fix the setting of $< for order-only rules.
2004-03-22Numerous updates and bug fixes.Paul Smith1-1/+1
A number of W32 cleanups from J.Grant. A number of OS/2 cleanups from Andreas Buening. Various random bug fixes.
2002-10-05Fix core dump on malformed variable line (Debian bug #81656)Paul Smith1-0/+6
Allow SysV-style variable references to use {} in addition to (). Add variable.h to the POTFILES.in since it has a translatable string.
2002-09-10A few test bug fixes:Paul Smith1-0/+2
* Never use "touch" in make rules; it breaks on most sub-second supporting systems. Use echo "" > $@ instead. * Forgot to close test makefiles before using them! All the above worked fine on Linux but failed miserably on Solaris.

Add -B option docs. Add .VARIABLES variable. Add a few new tests. Add a new translation: Swedish
