Although gnulib requires C99, most of the code does compile with a
C90 compiler (perhaps with a lot of warnings). Reinstate our C90
configuration test, and clean up a few C99 things that crept in.
* src/job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): Don't use loop-local
variables or C++ comments.
* src/read.c (eval_makefile): Don't use loop-local variables.
The README templates were not useful since the replacement step
didn't have anything to replace: rename them.
Rather than creating template files for the config variants, create
mkconfig.h.in containg PACKAGE_* variables to be replaced, and have
config variant header files include it. Note on POSIX we don't use
this, and continue to generate a single config.h.in file.
Use config.status to convert the README.in and mkconfig.h.in files
during distribution creation.
Modify all users of VERSION to use PACKAGE_VERSION instead.
* configure.ac: Use GNU Make not GNU make as the package name.
* README.in: Use GNU Make not GNU make.
* README.git: Remove references to README.W32.template.
* .gitignore: Update for new behavior.
* Basic.mk.template: Remove unused posix_SOURCES and VERSION, and
references to unshipped mk/Posix.mk
* Makefile.am: Add src/mkconfig.h as an extra dist file.
* bootstrap.bat: Rewrite mkconfig.h.in to mkconfig.h
* maintMakefile: Remove obsolete template files; add mkconfig.h.in.
* prepare_vms.com: Rewrite mkconfig.h.in to mkconfig.h
* mk/VMS.mk: Fix incorrect header file prerequisite.
* src/mkconfig.h.in: New file containing PACKAGE variables.
* src/config.ami: Include mkconfig.h.
* src/config.h.W32: Ditto.
* src/configh.dos: Ditto.
* src/config.h-vms: Ditto.
* src/version.c: Use PACKAGE_VERSION not VERSION.
Notes provided by Tzvetelin Katchov <katchov@gnu.org>
* maintMakefile (git-very-clean): Add -x to git clean.
(GNULIBDIR): Use GNULIB_SRCDIR, or the local module if not set.
For reproducibility ensure all files in the dist tar file are owned by
root, and sorted by name. Force the mode on all files to be writable
by the owner and not writable by group or user, by default.
Remove unnecessary execute permissions from build_w32.bat.
Recommended by Tzvetelin Katchov <katchov@gnu.org>.
* maintMakefile: Remove the template headers as prerequisites.
* tests/scripts/features/jobserver: Only test fifo if enabled.
* tests/scripts/variables/INCLUDE_DIRS: On MacOS none of the default
directories exist so .INCLUDE_DIRS is empty by default.
* tests/scripts/features/se_explicit: Fail via exit. cp will show
different error messages on different systems.
* tests/scripts/features/se_implicit: Ditto.
* tests/scripts/features/se_statpat: Ditto.
We can no longer pass our mondo-warnings options to the builds,
as these will impact all the code including gnulib code, and this
won't work. Also allow the caller to disable either the build.sh
or makefile invocation, for testing.
* Makefile.am: Allow the caller to reset the path to the make
binary to be tested. Remove c90 test: gnulib doesn't support it.
The "[" link may be missing during OS boostrapping.
* build.sh: Convert "[ ... ]" to "test ..."
* maintMakefile: Ditto.
* scripts/copyright-update: Ditto
* tests/scripts/features/reinvoke: Ditto
* tests/scripts/features/targetvars: Ditto
* configure.ac: Try compiling Guile headers: they don't work with C90.
* maintMakefile: Simplify config checks via target-specific variables.
* src/makeint.h: Use ATTRIBUTE rather than defining __attribute__,
as that causes compile issues with system headers.
(ENUM_BITFIELD): Don't use enum bitfields in ANSI mode.
* src/main.c: Use ATTRIBUTE instead of __attribute__.
* src/job.h: Ditto.
* src/file.c: Don't define variables inside for loops.
* src/rule.c: Ditto.
* src/dep.h (SI): Only use static inline in non-ANSI mode.
* build.sh: Rename from build.template. Get the list of objects
from the Makefile. Move configure-replaced variables ...
* build.cfg.in: to this new .in file.
* configure.ac: Remove special handling of build.sh.in and add
build.cfg as a generated file.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove build.sh.in and add build.sh
and build.cfg.in for build.sh.in.
* maintMakefile: Remove handling for build.template. Treat
build.sh as a source file, not a generated file.
* .gitignore: Ignore generated build.cfg file.
* .ccls: Configure the ccls LSP server
* .dir-locals.el: Reset some parameters for ccls and lsp-mode
* .gitignore: Update for GTAGS and ccls
* maintMakefile: Don't search hidden directories for sources
* maintMakefile: Omit generated headers from Basic.mk prerequisites.
* Basic.mk.template: Rework commands to use with $(call ...) macros.
* mk/Amiga.mk: Ditto.
* mk/VMS.mk: Ditto.
* mk/Windows32.mk: Ditto, plus P2W to convert POSIX to Windows paths.
* mk/msdosdjgpp.mk: Ditto.
Move content from glob/* and config/* into standard GNU directory
locations lib/* and m4/*.
Install the gnulib bootstrap script and its configuration file, and
create a bootstrap.bat file for Windows. Update the README.git file
with new requirements and instructions for building from Git.
At this point we only install the alloca, getloadavg, and FDL modules
from gnulib. We keep our old glob/fnmatch implementation since the
gnulib versions require significant amounts of infrastructure which
doesn't exist on Windows yet. Further work is required here.
Due to a problem with gnulib's version of getloadavg, we need to bump
the minimum required version of automake to 1.16.1 unfortunately.
* README.git: Update instructions

* configure.ac: Update for use with gnulib modules

Over time the non-standard build and install systems (nmake files,
smake files, Visual Studio project files, etc.) have atrophied and
maintaining them is not worth the effort, for such a simple utility
as make. Remove all the non-standard build tool support and unify
OS-specific build rules under a basic set of (GNU make) makefiles.
Preserve the existing bootstrapping scripts (for POSIX, Windows,
and MS-DOS). Also the existing VMS build scripts are left unchanged:
I don't have enough experience with VMS to venture into this area.
Perhaps one of the VMS maintainers might like to determine whether
conversion would be appropriate.
Rather than create libraries for w32 and glob (non-POSIX), simply
link the object files directly to remove the complexity.
* NEWS: Update with user-facing notes.
* Makefile.am: Clean up to use the latest automake best practices.
Build Windows code directly from the root makefile to avoid recursion.
* README.Amiga, README.DOS.template, README.W32.template: Updated.

* remake.c (update_file): Remove unreachable code.
(name_mtime): Verify symlink name length.
Rename existing ChangeLog files so they won't be distributed.
Add targets to maintMakefile to generate ChangeLog from the Git
repository. This will require a version of gnulib be available.
Because ChangeLog is auto-generated, we have to switch our
automake mode to "foreign" or it will complain and fail.
