Pull in various fixes
macOS upgrades for 10.15 (and higher)
The dbug library has been restored to the distribution.
Includes minimal changes to add support for OS/2, DragonFly and NetBSD. Also includes some small enhancements taken from LibreOffice.
The dbug library has been removed from the distribution,
it's still available in SVN and a more up to date version
at sourceforge.
News information for the dmake version that was hosted on the OpenOffice.org cvs. #i# denote issues tracked by the OpenOffice.org issue tracking system, see http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/project_issues.html.
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i83540# Add parallel building mode, see the MULTI PROCESSING section in the dmake man page, for native W32 dmake (MSVC 6, and newer and MinGW) versions.
Yuri Dario ([email protected]) #i81855, CWS os2port01# Port dmake to OS/2.
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i81252# Add a new control macro SHELLCMDQUOTE that can be used to add additional characters before and after the command string if the recipe is executed using a shell. This macro is used to avoid problems with quoting when using cmd.exe or command.com.
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i81296, i64572# Improve dependency handling of prerequisites.
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i80687, i66751# Allow the use of .PHONY for %-targets.
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i80010, i80009# Fix handling of quoted filenames for :1 :b :d :e :f and :i macro expansions.
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i78776# Add a new function macro $(normpath[,para] data) and a new macro extension to normalise the given data or macro content. The normalization is done element-wise (whitespace separated) on the given data. Quotes can be used to normalize filenames that contain whitespace characters. On cygwin the result honors the setting of .WINPATH to determine the output format. If the optional parameter para is given for the function macro its expanded value is used to override the .WINPATH setting for the output.
This number was skipped to avoid confusion with Version 4.1, patch level 0 which identified itself as "Version 4.10, PL 0".
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i74700# Add a new special macro OOODMAKEMODE that is used to toggle OOo build specific behavior. If OOODMAKEMODE is set (i.e. it begins with y) a possible leading ./ of a path will no longer be removed during target normalization.
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i73499# Add new .WINPATH attribute to generate Windows style paths (with regular slashes) instead of the default cygwin style (POSIX) paths for dmake's dynamic macros.
This attribute is specific for cygwin dmake executables and non-cygwin environments ignore this attribute. This feature can be used to create DOS style path parameters for native W32 programs from dynamic macros.
The windows style paths use regular slashes ('/') instead of the usual windows backslash ('') as directory separator to avoid quoting problems (It still is a cygwin dmake feature!) and cygwin as well as native windows programs should have no problems using this (c:/foo/bar) path representation.
The affected macros are
Examples: Content of $(PWD) without .WINPATH (default): /cygdrive/c/temp
Content of $(PWD) with .WINPATH set: c:/temp
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i71422# Add @@ as a new recipe line property. This new property is a stronger version of the already existing @ recipe property. The recipe line and the output (stdout and stderr) of the executed recipe are suppressed and NOT shown on the terminal. Note: Previously the second @ sign was ignored, that means that using this new feature doesn't break backwards compatibility but the command output is naturally not suppressed in older versions.
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i70210# Dmake now works correctly with empty dynamic prerequisites.
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i70168# Improve dmakes handling of literal $ characters in target and prerequisite filenames. This was not working before and is working now but the use of literal $ characters in filenames is still strongly discouraged. See the man page for details.
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i69742# Normalize the pathnames of targets and prerequisites to the shortest (or most natural, see below for the cygwin case) representation. Now "./foo", "bar/../foo" and foo are recognized as the same file.
For cygwin this allows the use of target and prerequisite names with DOS like pathnames with drive letters (with / and \ as possible path seperators) and cygwin POSIX pathnames. As the internal format uses cygwin's natural POSIX representation runtime macros will result in POSIX paths.
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #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 ([email protected]) #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 ([email protected]) #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 ([email protected]) #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.
Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i66385# Fix the handling of . 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.
2006/02/03 Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #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 ([email protected]) #i60948# Add -m option family to generate timing information for targets and/or recipes.
2005/09/19 Volker Quetschke ([email protected])
#i53148# Fix
2005/06/01 Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i39248# Add a testsuite to test some dmake features (only for autotools builds). Start the tests with "make check".
2005/04/21 Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #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 ([email protected]) #i43310# Fix percent (%) rules to recognize prerequisites that are defined with the multiple target rule operator (::). This implicitly fixes the similar problem for .. targets.
2005/04/16 Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i46987# Fix the documentation of the $(mktmp ...) function macro. This is not necessarily a new feature as the macro works this way since dmake was imported into the OpenOffice.org cvs but mentioning it here might help users of dmake upgrading from very old versions.
Add the "map escape codes"
2005/04/10 Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i43252# Introduce the macro ABSMAKECMD that's value for a native Windows dmake executable (compiled with MS Visual C++ or MinGW) is the absolute filename and NULL for other operating systems or dmake build with other compilers. If DMAKEROOT is not changed and only for native Windows dmake versions the value of DMAKEROOT now defaults to "$(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 ([email protected]) #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 ([email protected]) #i44959# Fix problems when a continued line is followed by an empty or comment line.
2005/03/13 Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i37053# Fix function macro problems with continued lines.
2004/11/23 Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i37491# Predefine dmake macro containing one space (SPACECHAR).
2004/11/21 Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i36027# Improve function macro parameter parsing.
2004/10/07 Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i34746# Fix timestamp of phony targets with prerequisites.
2004/07/11 Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i31255# Add verbose recipe echoing option (-vr).
2004/07/06 Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #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 ([email protected]) #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 ([email protected]) #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 ([email protected]) #i20504# Correct processing of .LIBRARY targets.
2003/10/08 Chris Halls ([email protected]) #i7800# Fix tempnam security problem.
2003/03/08 Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #i10910# Use the build-in tempnam function for MS VC6.
2003/03/05 Volker Quetschke ([email protected]) #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 ([email protected]) Fix the "lost a child" problem. (Part II)
