Version 4.6
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i67589# Implement the internal dmake commands noop and echo. These commands
|
|
were already existing for the native Windows version but only partially
|
|
documented.
|
|
|
|
Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i67166# Issue a warning when a previously unset macro (i.e. assumed to be
|
|
empty) is used and later set to a different value.
|
|
|
|
Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i66567# Issue a warning when .SUFFIXES is used. This special target had no
|
|
special meaning (anymore?) and was always (at least since version 4.2)
|
|
ignored.
|
|
|
|
Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i67025# Fix a bug that was introduced in dmake 4.5 and led dmake to falsely
|
|
issue an error if a %-target was defined with the .SILENT attribute and dmake
|
|
was started with the -vr (included in -v) verbose flag.
|
|
|
|
Version 4.5
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i66385# Fix the handling of .<suffix> targets. Always treat these targets
|
|
as meta targets regardless of the AUGMAKE (-A) status. Previously this was
|
|
enabled when the AUGMAKE was *not* set to 'yes' or the -A switch was given.
|
|
|
|
#i66083# We now stop with an error if AUGMAKE meta targets and regular
|
|
targets are used in one rule definition. As the syntax of these target
|
|
definitions is slightly different this hints to an error in the makefile,
|
|
most probably a misspelled attribute or special target.
|
|
|
|
#i48087#, #i64869# The parsing of %-target definitions was fixed and
|
|
enhanced. Prior to dmake 4.5 only one %-target per target-definition worked
|
|
reliably, now this works well, but to help projects that still use older
|
|
versions a warning was added.
|
|
|
|
It's not very nice to issue a warning for something that works now but
|
|
didn't before. This was only done to aid development and will probably
|
|
be removed in future versions.
|
|
|
|
There was, and still is, that for a bug in dmake for %-targets with more
|
|
than one (not indirect) prerequisite only the first prerequisite is used.
|
|
This will be fixed in future versions but until this happens we issue a
|
|
warning that prerequisites are ignored.
|
|
|
|
#i65122# The :| rule operator was handled differently from what the man
|
|
page said. The man page was adapted to reflect reality. Changing dmakes
|
|
behavior to match the man page would have introduced a lot of compatibility
|
|
issues.
|
|
|
|
Version 4.4
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
2006/02/03 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i61170# Fix the TMD macro. Up to now the TMD macro appended a directory
|
|
separator if it ended in "..", but most of the time it was not set correctly
|
|
at all and/or without a trailing slash.
|
|
Note: If your application relies on TMD please check the dmake manual page
|
|
for its definition and fix your makefiles if needed.
|
|
|
|
2006/02/01 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i60948# Add -m option family to generate timing information for targets
|
|
and/or recipes.
|
|
|
|
2005/09/19 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i53148# Fix $(shell ...) macro picking up the output of earlier
|
|
recipe lines in parallel builds.
|
|
#i54766# Ensure that all previous recipe lines to a recipe
|
|
line containing a $(shell ...) macro have finished before executing
|
|
the macro in parallel builds.
|
|
|
|
2005/06/01 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i39248# Add a testsuite to test some dmake features (only for autotools
|
|
builds). Start the tests with "make check".
|
|
|
|
2005/04/21 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i47851# Increase the version number to 4.4-cvs and slightly rearrange the
|
|
output of "dmake -V".
|
|
Remove the hard-coded (in autotools builds) OS macro. It had the wrong value
|
|
to be usable with the startup/*.mk and is not mentioned in the man page.
|
|
Clean up configure.in and friends.
|
|
|
|
2005/04/20 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i43310# Fix percent (%) rules to recognize prerequisites that are defined
|
|
with the multiple target rule operator (::).
|
|
This implicitly fixes the similar problem for .<suffix>.<suffix> targets.
|
|
|
|
2005/04/16 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i46987# Fix the documentation of the $(mktmp ...) function macro. This is
|
|
not necessarily a new feature as the macro works this way since dmake was
|
|
imported into the OpenOffice.org cvs but mentioning it here might help users
|
|
of dmake upgrading from very old versions.
|
|
|
|
Add the "map escape codes" $(...:m) macro expansion that allows to expand
|
|
escape codes in macros. It can also be used to reproduce the former (pre
|
|
OpenOffice.org cvs) $(mktmp ...) behavior.
|
|
|
|
2005/04/10 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i43252# Introduce the macro ABSMAKECMD that's value for a native Windows
|
|
dmake executable (compiled with MS Visual C++ or MinGW) is the absolute
|
|
filename and NULL for other operating systems or dmake build with other
|
|
compilers.
|
|
If DMAKEROOT is not changed and only for native Windows dmake versions the
|
|
value of DMAKEROOT now defaults to "$(ABSMAKECMD:d)startup".
|
|
This allows to use the startup files from the startup directory from the
|
|
same location where the dmake.exe is located.
|
|
|
|
2005/04/08 Steve Hay (shay@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i43241# Fix build problems with VC++ (in non-OOo environment) and fix
|
|
the dmake makefiles so that dmake can rebuild itself (VC++ only).
|
|
|
|
2005/03/14 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i44959# Fix problems when a continued line is followed by an empty
|
|
or comment line.
|
|
|
|
2005/03/13 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i37053# Fix function macro problems with continued lines.
|
|
|
|
2004/11/23 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i37491# Predefine dmake macro containing one space (SPACECHAR).
|
|
|
|
2004/11/21 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i36027# Improve function macro parameter parsing.
|
|
|
|
Version 4.3
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
2004/10/07 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i34746# Fix timestamp of phony targets with prerequisites.
|
|
|
|
2004/07/11 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i31255# Add verbose recipe echoing option (-vr).
|
|
|
|
2004/07/06 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i30779# Fix to allow dmake to echo recipe lines when inference is used
|
|
to create files that are to be read by .INCLUDE.
|
|
|
|
2004/04/01 Michael Meeks (mmeeks@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i27319#, #i27981# Don't handle environment variables that begin with a
|
|
'!', they are used by Cygwin internally and confuse dmake.
|
|
|
|
2004/01/09 Dan Williams (fa@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i17992# Allows the nesting of expressions and a much more complex syntax
|
|
for dmake. It is now possible to nest expressions with () and any
|
|
combination of || and &&.
|
|
Example:
|
|
.IF (("$(OS)"=="MACOSX"&&"$(COM)"=="GCC")||"$(OS)"=="LINUX") && "$(GUIBASE)"=="unx"
|
|
...
|
|
.ENDIF
|
|
|
|
2003/10/19 Ken Foskey (waratah@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i20504# Correct processing of .LIBRARY targets.
|
|
|
|
2003/10/08 Chris Halls (haggai@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i7800# Fix tempnam security problem.
|
|
|
|
2003/03/08 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i10910# Use the build-in tempnam function for MS VC6.
|
|
|
|
2003/03/05 Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org)
|
|
#i11861# Switch to newer autotools autoconf 2.5x and automake 1.5 and
|
|
add MinGW and MSVC to the configure buildable targets.
|
|
|
|
2002/10/11 Ken Foskey (waratah@openoffice.org)

Don't search INCLUDEDIRS if the filename to be included starts at fs-root.
|
|
|
|
2001/05/29 Patrick Luby (pluby@openoffice.org)
|
|
Added forceful exit to avoid infinite loop that sometimes occurs when
|
|
there is a fatal error. Lost a child problem. (Part I)
|
|
|
|
Version 4.2
|
|
===========
|
|
(Note, the dmake -V output was not changed and still said
|
|
"Version 4.10, PL 0". This probably should have been 4.1)
|
|
|
|
