The new GNU Maintainer's Manual allows the use of year ranges in certain situations; take advantage of this simplification.

Changes from 0.4.9 to 3.78 (Sep 6, 1999):
|
||
|
||
Lots of new tests. Renamed to follow the GNU make scheme. Also
|
||
added some support for using Purify with make.
|
||
|
||
Rob Tulloh contributed some changes to get the test suite running on
|
||
NT; I tweaked them a bit (hopefully I didn't break anything!) Note
|
||
that NT doesn't grok the self-exec funkiness that Unix shells use,
|
||
so instead I broke that out into a separate shell script
|
||
"run_make_tests" that invokes perl with the (renamed) script
|
||
run_make_tests.pl.
|
||
|
||
Eli Zaretski contributed changes to get the test suite running on
|
||
DOS with DJGPP. I also meddled in these somewhat.
|
||
|
||
If you're on DOS or NT you should run "perl.exe run_make_tests.pl ..."
|
||
If you're on Unix, you can continue to run "./run_make_tests ..." as
|
||
before.
|
||
|
||
Changes from 0.4.8 to 0.4.9 (May 14, 1998):
|
||
|
||
Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to
|
||
blame for problems in this version :).
|
||
|
||
Add some perl to test_driver.pl to strip out GNU make clock skew
|
||
warning messages from the output before comparing it to the
|
||
known-good output.
|
||
|
||
A new test for escaped :'s in filenames (someone on VMS found this
|
||
didn't work anymore in 3.77): scripts/features/escape.
|
||
|
||
Changes from 0.4.7 to 0.4.8 (May 14, 1998):
|
||
|
||
Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to
|
||
blame for problems in this version :).
|
||
|
||
New tests for features to be included in GNU make 3.77.
|
||
|
||
Changes from 0.4.6 to 0.4.7 (August 18, 1997):
|
||
|
||
Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to
|
||
blame for problems in this version :).
|
||
|
||
Reworked some tests to make sure they all work with both perl4 and perl5.
|
||
|
||
Work around a bug in perl 5.004 which doesn't clean the environment
|
||
correctly in all cases (fixed in at least 5.004_02).
|
||
|
||
Updated functions/strip to test for newline stripping.
|
||
|
||
Keep a $PURIFYOPTIONS env variable if present.
|
||
|
||
Changes from 0.4.5 to 0.4.6 (April 07, 1997):
|
||
|
||
Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to
|
||
blame for problems in this version :).
|
||
|
||
Updated to work with GNU make 3.76 (and pretests).
|
||
|
||
Added new tests and updated existing ones. Note that the new tests
|
||
weren't tested with perl 4, however I think they should work.
|
||
|
||
Ignore any tests whose filenames end in "~", so that Emacs backup
|
||
files aren't run.
|
||
|
||
Changes from 0.4.4 to 0.4.5 (April 29, 1995):
|
||
|
||
Updated to be compatible with perl 5.001 as well as 4.036.
|
||
|
||
Note: the test suite still won't work on 14-char filesystems
|
||
(sorry, Kaveh), but I will get to it.
|
||
|
||
Also, some tests and stuff still haven't made it in because I
|
||
haven't had time to write the test scripts for them. But they,
|
||
too, will get in eventually. Contributions of scripts (ie, tests
|
||
that I can just drop in) are particularly welcome and will be
|
||
incorporated immediately.
|
||
|
||
Changes from 0.4.3 to 0.4.4 (March 1995):
|
||
|
||
Updated for changes in make 3.72.12, and to ignore CVS directories
|
||
(thanks go to Jim Meyering for the patches for this).
|
||
|
||
Fixed uname call to not make a mess on BSD/OS 2.0 (whose uname -a
|
||
is very verbose). Let me know if this doesn't work correctly on
|
||
your system.
|
||
|
||
Changed to display test name while it is running, not just when it
|
||
finishes.
|
||
|
||
Note: the test suite still won't work on 14-char filesystems
|
||
(sorry, Kaveh), but I will get to it.
|
||
|
||
Also, some tests and stuff still haven't made it in because I
|
||
haven't had time to write the test scripts for them. But they,
|
||
too, will get in eventually.
|
||
|
||
Changes from 0.4 to 0.4.3 (October 1994):
|
||
|
||
Fixed bugs (like dependencies on environment variables).
|
||
|
||
Caught up with changes in make.
|
||
|
||
The load_limit test should now silently ignore a failure due to
|
||
make not being able to read /dev/kmem.
|
||
|
||
Reorganized tests into subdirs and renamed lots of things so that
|
||
those poor souls who still have to deal with 14-char filename
|
||
limits won't hate me any more. Thanks very much to Kaveh R. Ghazi
|
||
<ghazi@noc.rutgers.edu> for helping me with the implementation and
|
||
testing of these changes, and for putting up with all my whining
|
||
about it...
|
||
|
||
Added a $| = 1 so that systems that don't seem to automatically
|
||
flush their output for some reason will still print all the
|
||
output. I'd hate for someone to miss out on the smiley that
|
||
you're supposed to get when all the tests pass... :-)
|
||
|
||
Changes from 0.3 to 0.4 (August 1993):
|
||
|
||
Lost in the mists of time (and my hurry to get it out before I
|
||
left my job).
|
||
|
||
Changes from 0.2 to 0.3 (9-30-92):
|
||
|
||
Several tests fixed to match the fact that MAKELEVEL > 0 or -C now
|
||
imply -w.
|
||
|
||
parallel_execution test fixed to not use double colon rules any
|
||
more since their behavior has changed.
|
||
|
||
errors_in_commands test fixed to handle different error messages
|
||
and return codes from rm.
|
||
|
||
Several tests fixed to handle -make_path with a relative path
|
||
and/or a name other than "make" for make.
|
||
|
||
dash-e-option test fixed to use $PATH instead of $USER (since the
|
||
latter does not exist on some System V systems). This also
|
||
removes the dependency on getlogin (which fails under certain
|
||
weird conditions).
|
||
|
||
test_driver_core changed so that you can give a test name like
|
||
scripts/errors_in_commands and it will be handled correctly (handy
|
||
if you have a shell with filename completion).
|
||
|
||
Changes from 0.1 to 0.2 (5-4-92):
|
||
|
||
README corrected to require perl 4.019, not 4.010.
|
||
|
||
-make_path replaces -old.
|
||
|
||
errors_in_commands test updated for change in format introduced in
|
||
make 3.62.6.
|
||
|
||
test_driver_core now uses a better way of figuring what OS it is
|
||
running on (thanks to meyering@cs.utexas.edu (Jim Meyering) for
|
||
suggesting this, as well as discovering the hard way that the old
|
||
way (testing for /mnt) fails on his machine).
|
||
|
||
Some new tests were added.
