9 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
10
11 * configure.in: Use the QuickThreads assembler fragment with Irix
12 dynamic linking support for Irix 6 as well as Irix 5. Thanks to
13 Jesse Glick.

18 * acinclude.m4 (GUILE_NAMED_CHECK_FUNC): New macro: Tagged test,
19 so that test for the same function can be performed multiple
20 times.
21
e9cd5d2f
MD
22 * configure.in (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Test for rxposix.h,
23 rx/rxposix.h. Add library rx only if regcomp can't be found
24 without it.
25
26 * acconfig.h (HAVE_REGCOMP): Added it here since autoheader misses
27 it for some reason!

41 * configure.in: use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for sethostent etc.,
42 so scmconfig.h is updated with the test results. this may
43 disable one of the cygwin hacks.

47 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
48 * configure.in: When sys/un.h exists, define HAVE_UNIX_DOMAIN_SOCKETS
49 to indicate that Unix domain sockets will work.
50 Check for socketpair, getgroups, setwent, pause, and tzset
51 (cygwin currently lacks these them).
52 Check for sethostent endhostent getnetent setnetent endnetent
53 getprotoent endprotoent getservent endservent getnetbyaddr
54 getnetbyname inet_lnaof inet_makeaddr inet_netof (cygwin currently
55 lacks them). In the case of cygwin, temporarily prefix these
56 functions with "cygwin32_", the way that netdb.h does.
57 Don't define HAVE_REGCOMP unless both regcomp and regex.h are
58 available (cygwin b18 came distributed without a working regex.h
59 file).
60 * acconfig.h (HAVE_UNIX_DOMAIN_SOCKETS): Add this.
61 * configure: Regenerated.

91 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
92 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
93 sending in bug reports.
94 * configure.in: Provide libguile its version information through a
95 separate header file generated by the Makefile, not through
96 scmconfig.h.
97 (GUILE_MAJOR_VERSION, GUILE_MINOR_VERSION, GUILE_VERSION):
98 AC_SUBST these, instead of AC_DEFINE'ing them.
99 (GUILE_STAMP): New AC_SUBST: the time we configured the tree.
100 (AC_OUTPUT): Create ice-9/version.scm.
101 * acconfig.h (GUILE_MAJOR_VERSION, GUILE_MINOR_VERSION,
102 GUILE_VERSION): Deleted.
103 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
104

120
121 * configure.in: By default, include functions in Guile to allow
122 linking with dynamic libraries at run-time. In other words,
123 --enable-dynamic-linking is now the default.
124 * configure: Rebuilt.
125

145Tue Jun 3 16:34:19 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

148 pretty much trust) if it is installed.

165 * configure.in: We don't need to add fileblocks.o to LIBOBJS if
166 struct stat doesn't have the st_blocks field. We take care of
167 that case in the code. Replace AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS with its
a00c28cd 168 definition, edited appropriately. (Bernard URBAN)

212 * ltconfig, ltmain.sh, config.guess, config.sub: New versions,
213 supplied by libtool.
214
215 * configure.in: When configuring qt, sunos needs the underscore
216 files; Solaris and Linux both need the normal files.

227 Get threads to work again.
228 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): List libguile last, so qt gets built
229 first.
230 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
231 * aclocal.m4, configure: Regenerate, with modern definition of
232 CY_AC_WITH_THREADS. Where did the old text come from? Creepy...
233
234 Reduced Guile distribution: one configure script, no plugins.
20108301
JB
235 * configure.in: Merged the old text from qt/configure.in and
236 libguile/configure.in; Tom Tromey says automake only wants one
237 configure.in script. This seems fishy, but...
238 * Makefile.am: List the subdirectories explicitly; no more PLUGIN
239 gubbish.
240 * acconfig.h, acinclude.m4: Moved here from libguile, since
241 libguile's configure script lives here now.
242 * AUTHORS, INSTALL, README: Updated.
243 * Makefile.in, aclocal.m4 configure: Regenerated. Just like
244 amputated amphibian limbs.

253 * threads.m4 (CY_AC_WITH_THREADS): When using coop threads, no
254 need to link against libthreads; the files it used to contain
255 are now a part of libguile.

413 Change the way we decide whether to build gtcltk-lib, so that it's
414 omitted from the build process when appropriate, but never from
415 the dist process.
416 * configure.in: Don't edit all_subdirs depending on the
417 availability of Tk; let that be the list of all PLUGIN
418 subdirectories present, as it used to be. Instead, edit a new
419 variable, build_subdirs; write its final value, the list of
420 subdirs we do want to compile in, to config.build-subdirs.
421 Substitute that into the top-level Makefile too.
422 * Makefile.in (subdirs): Set this to @build_subdirs@, so we only
423 recurse on the subdirectories we should build.
424 (distdirs): Set this to @existingdirs@, so it includes the subdirs
425 we decided not to build.

427 * doc/gtcltk.texi: File resurrected from old Guile releases.
428 * doc/Makefile.in (info): Build the gtcltk documentation.
429 (DIST_FILES): Include it in the distribution.
430
431 * configure.in: If we can find the library for tcl7.5, build
432 gtcltk-lib. Call AC_PROG_CC, to help run that test with the right
433 compiler (not sure this is necessary).

454 * doc/Makefile.in: Added pattern targets for creating DVI and
455 PostScript files.

459 * GUILE-VERSION: Updated to 1.0b3.
460
461 Rehashed distribution system, in preparation for nightly
462 snapshots. Other changes in subdirectories.
463 * Makefile.in (dist): Rewritten --- the old target was out of
464 date, dependent on files that we don't have, and relied on GNU
465 tar. The new target is simpler.
466 (VERSION, srcdir, dist_dirs): New variables.
467 (DISTFILES): Renamed from localfiles. Added GUILE-VERSION and
468 TODO.
469 (localtreats): Variable removed. We don't have this file.
470 (info): cd to doc and make info there; don't make info in every
471 ${subdir}; those Makefiles don't know what to do.
472 (distname, distdir, treats, announcefile): Variables removed.
473 (manifest-file): Target removed.
474 (dist-dir): New target, responsible for distributable files in
475 this directory.
476 (GZIP, GZIP_EXT, TAR_VERBOSE, DIST_NAME): New variables,
477 controlling the 'dist' target.
478 * configure.in: Substitute GUILE-VERSION into the top-level
479 Makefile. Build doc/Makefile from doc/Makefile.in.
480
481 * doc/Makefile.in: New file.
