Simon Marchi d0ac1c4488 Bump to autoconf 2.69 and automake 1.15.1 When trying to run the update-gnulib.sh script in gdb, I get this: Error: Wrong automake version (Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ =:+{}]+)}/ at /opt/automake/1.11.1/bin/automake line 4113.), we need 1.11.1. Aborting. Apparently, it's an issue with a regex in automake that triggers a warning starting with Perl 5.22. It has been fixed in automake 1.15.1. So I think it's a good excuse to bump the versions of autoconf and automake used in the gnulib import. And to avoid requiring multiple builds of autoconf/automake, it was suggested that we bump the required version of those tools for all binutils-gdb. For autoconf, the 2.69 version is universally available, so it's an easy choice. For automake, different distros and distro versions have different automake versions. But 1.15.1 seems to be the most readily available as a package. In any case, it's easy to build it from source. I removed the version checks from AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS and AC_PREREQ, because I don't think they are useful in our case. They only specify a lower bound for the acceptable version of automake/autoconf. That's useful if you let the user choose the version of the tool they want to use, but want to set a minimum version (because you use a feature that was introduced in that version). In our case, we force people to use a specific version anyway. For the autoconf version, we have the check in config/override.m4 that enforces the version we want. It will be one less thing to update next time we change autotools version. I hit a few categories of problems that required some changes. They are described below along with the chosen solutions. Problem 1: configure.ac:17: warning: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: two- and three-arguments forms are deprecated. For more info, see: configure.ac:17: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Modernize-AM_005fINIT_005fAUTOMAKE-invocation Solution 1: Adjust the code based on the example at that URL. Problem 2 (in zlib/): Makefile.am: error: required file './INSTALL' not found Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'INSTALL' Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found Makefile.am: error: required file './AUTHORS' not found Makefile.am: error: required file './COPYING' not found Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'COPYING' Solution 2: Add the foreign option to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS. Problem 3: doc/Makefile.am:20: error: support for Cygnus-style trees has been removed Solution 3: Remove the cygnus options. Problem 4: Makefile.am:656: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '_CPPFLAGS') Solution 4: Rename "INCLUDES = " to "AM_CPPFLAGS += " (because AM_CPPFLAGS is already defined earlier). Problem 5: doc/Makefile.am:71: warning: suffix '.texinfo' for Texinfo files is discouraged; use '.texi' instead doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops! doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack. doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES. doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option. Solution 5: Rename .texinfo files to .texi. Problem 6: doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops! doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack. doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES. doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option. Solution 6: Remove the hack at the bottom of doc/Makefile.am and use the info-in-builddir automake option. Problem 7: doc/Makefile.am:35: error: required file '../texinfo.tex' not found doc/Makefile.am:35: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'texinfo.tex' Solution 7: Use the no-texinfo.tex automake option. We also have one in texinfo/texinfo.tex, not sure if we should point to that, or move it (or a newer version of it added with automake --add-missing) to top-level. Problem 8: Makefile.am:131: warning: source file 'config/tc-aarch64.c' is in a subdirectory, Makefile.am:131: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility. automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects' automake: automake option hasn't been enabled. For now, the corresponding output automake: object file(s) will be placed in the top-level directory. However, automake: this behaviour will change in future Automake versions: they will automake: unconditionally cause object files to be placed in the same subdirectory automake: of the corresponding sources. automake: You are advised to start using 'subdir-objects' option throughout your automake: project, to avoid future incompatibilities. Solution 8: Use subdir-objects, that means adjusting references to some .o that will now be in config/. Problem 9: configure.ac:375: warning: AC_LANG_CONFTEST: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body ../../lib/autoconf/lang.m4:193: AC_LANG_CONFTEST is expanded from... ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2601: _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE is expanded from... ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2617: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE is expanded from... ../../lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4:639: AS_IF is expanded from... ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2042: AC_CACHE_VAL is expanded from... ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2063: AC_CACHE_CHECK is expanded from... configure.ac:375: the top level Solution 9: Use AC_LANG_SOURCE, or use proper quoting. Problem 10 (in intl/): configure.ac:7: warning: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE was called before AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS /usr/share/aclocal/threadlib.m4:36: gl_THREADLIB_EARLY_BODY is expanded from... /usr/share/aclocal/threadlib.m4:29: gl_THREADLIB_EARLY is expanded from... /usr/share/aclocal/threadlib.m4:318: gl_THREADLIB is expanded from... /usr/share/aclocal/lock.m4:9: gl_LOCK is expanded from... /usr/share/aclocal/intl.m4:211: gt_INTL_SUBDIR_CORE is expanded from... /usr/share/aclocal/intl.m4:25: AM_INTL_SUBDIR is expanded from... /usr/share/aclocal/gettext.m4:57: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is expanded from... configure.ac:7: the top level Solution 10: Add AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS in configure.ac.

README

This is the m32r simulator directory.

It is still work-in-progress.  The current sources are reasonably
well tested and lots of features are in.  However, there's lots
more yet to come.

There are lots of machine generated files in the source directory!
They are only generated if you configure with --enable-cgen-maint,
similar in behaviour to Makefile.in, configure under automake/autoconf.

For details on the generator, see ../../cgen.

devo/cgen isn't part of the comp-tools module yet.
You'll need to check it out manually (also akin to automake/autoconf).
