[pspp] / m4 / ChangeLog

2000-03-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-glibc-io.m4 (jm_FUNC_GLIBC_UNLOCKED_IO): Use AC_CHECK_DECLS,
        rather than jm_CHECK_DECLARATIONS.
        * decl.m4: Remove now-unused file.

        * check-decl.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Add getlogin, ttyname, and geteuid.

2000-02-27  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * check-decl.m4: Add getenv to the list.

2000-02-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * check-decl.m4: Now that we have the new AC_CHECK_DECLS, use it
        in place of my hack.

2000-02-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * nanosleep.m4 (jm_FUNC_NANOSLEEP): Rename replacement function from
        gnu_nanosleep to rpl_nanosleep.

2000-02-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * lib-check.m4 (jm_LIB_CHECK): Fix typo: check for sp_pwdp in
        struct spwd, rather than in struct passwd.  Reported by Gaël Quéri.

2000-02-08  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

        * largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS): Quote square brackets with
        `[' and `]' and remove uses of `changequote'.
        (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE): Likewise.
        (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Likewise.
        * gettext.m4 (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Likewise.
        * strftime.m4 (jm_FUNC_GNU_STRFTIME): Remove now-unnecessary use
        of changequote.
        * regex.m4 (jm_INCLUDED_REGEX): Likewise.
        * readdir.m4 (jm_FUNC_READDIR): Likewise
        * memcmp.m4 (jm_AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Likewise, and add `int' for main.

2000-02-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4: (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Require most macros.
        Remove explicit use of AC_HEADER_TIME.  It is required by
        jm_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC.  Using AC_HEADER_TIME and
        `AC_REQUIRE'ing jm_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC provoked a but
        in autoconf whereby the expansion of the latter ended up preceding
        the expansion of its prerequisite, AC_HEADER_TIME.
        Reported by Volker Borchert.

2000-02-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * check-decl.m4 (jm_CHECK_DECLS): Add nanosleep to the list of
        functions.  Add the time.h and sys/time.h headers along with the
        AC_REQUIRE'ment of AC_HEADER_TIME.

2000-01-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * lib-check.m4: Clean up some kludgy old shadow password tests.

        and struct utmp.

2000-01-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * perl.m4: Change format of warning message to look more like that

2000-01-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

1999-11-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * mktime.m4: Likewise.

        * check-type.m4: Remove file, now that the latest version of

        compatible with future autoconf versions.  Also, some minor m4
        quoting problems have been fixed.

1999-07-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * ulonglong.m4 (jm_AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG): Make sure
        that we can shift, multiply and divide unsigned long long

        * jm-mktime.m4, putenv.m4: Fix typos in config.h comments.

1999-05-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        not CPPFLAGS, so that linking works correctly in IRIX.

        cache-check for the same variable -- that defeated the purpose of
        the test; the test program was never run.  This was a problem only
        on systems with losing getline functions -- HP-UX 10.20 is one.
