1 Changes from 0.4.9 to 3.78 (Sep 6, 1999): 2 3 Lots of new tests. Renamed to follow the GNU make scheme. Also 4 added some support for using Purify with make. 5 6 Rob Tulloh contributed some changes to get the test suite running on 7 NT; I tweaked them a bit (hopefully I didn't break anything!) Note 8 that NT doesn't grok the self-exec funkiness that Unix shells use, 9 so instead I broke that out into a separate shell script 10 "run_make_tests" that invokes perl with the (renamed) script 11 run_make_tests.pl. 12 13 Eli Zaretski contributed changes to get the test suite running on 14 DOS with DJGPP. I also meddled in these somewhat. 15 16 If you're on DOS or NT you should run "perl.exe run_make_tests.pl ..." 17 If you're on Unix, you can continue to run "./run_make_tests ..." as 18 before. 19 20 Changes from 0.4.8 to 0.4.9 (May 14, 1998): 21 22 Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith (a] baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to 23 blame for problems in this version :). 24 25 Add some perl to test_driver.pl to strip out GNU make clock skew 26 warning messages from the output before comparing it to the 27 known-good output. 28 29 A new test for escaped :'s in filenames (someone on VMS found this 30 didn't work anymore in 3.77): scripts/features/escape. 31 32 Changes from 0.4.7 to 0.4.8 (May 14, 1998): 33 34 Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith (a] baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to 35 blame for problems in this version :). 36 37 New tests for features to be included in GNU make 3.77. 38 39 Changes from 0.4.6 to 0.4.7 (August 18, 1997): 40 41 Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith (a] baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to 42 blame for problems in this version :). 43 44 Reworked some tests to make sure they all work with both perl4 and perl5. 45 46 Work around a bug in perl 5.004 which doesn't clean the environment 47 correctly in all cases (fixed in at least 5.004_02). 48 49 Updated functions/strip to test for newline stripping. 50 51 Keep a $PURIFYOPTIONS env variable if present. 52 53 Changes from 0.4.5 to 0.4.6 (April 07, 1997): 54 55 Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith (a] baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to 56 blame for problems in this version :). 57 58 Updated to work with GNU make 3.76 (and pretests). 59 60 Added new tests and updated existing ones. Note that the new tests 61 weren't tested with perl 4, however I think they should work. 62 63 Ignore any tests whose filenames end in "~", so that Emacs backup 64 files aren't run. 65 66 Changes from 0.4.4 to 0.4.5 (April 29, 1995): 67 68 Updated to be compatible with perl 5.001 as well as 4.036. 69 70 Note: the test suite still won't work on 14-char filesystems 71 (sorry, Kaveh), but I will get to it. 72 73 Also, some tests and stuff still haven't made it in because I 74 haven't had time to write the test scripts for them. But they, 75 too, will get in eventually. Contributions of scripts (ie, tests 76 that I can just drop in) are particularly welcome and will be 77 incorporated immediately. 78 79 Changes from 0.4.3 to 0.4.4 (March 1995): 80 81 Updated for changes in make 3.72.12, and to ignore CVS directories 82 (thanks go to Jim Meyering for the patches for this). 83 84 Fixed uname call to not make a mess on BSD/OS 2.0 (whose uname -a 85 is very verbose). Let me know if this doesn't work correctly on 86 your system. 87 88 Changed to display test name while it is running, not just when it 89 finishes. 90 91 Note: the test suite still won't work on 14-char filesystems 92 (sorry, Kaveh), but I will get to it. 93 94 Also, some tests and stuff still haven't made it in because I 95 haven't had time to write the test scripts for them. But they, 96 too, will get in eventually. 97 98 Changes from 0.4 to 0.4.3 (October 1994): 99 100 Fixed bugs (like dependencies on environment variables). 101 102 Caught up with changes in make. 103 104 The load_limit test should now silently ignore a failure due to 105 make not being able to read /dev/kmem. 106 107 Reorganized tests into subdirs and renamed lots of things so that 108 those poor souls who still have to deal with 14-char filename 109 limits won't hate me any more. Thanks very much to Kaveh R. Ghazi 110 <ghazi (a] noc.rutgers.edu> for helping me with the implementation and 111 testing of these changes, and for putting up with all my whining 112 about it... 113 114 Added a $| = 1 so that systems that don't seem to automatically 115 flush their output for some reason will still print all the 116 output. I'd hate for someone to miss out on the smiley that 117 you're supposed to get when all the tests pass... :-) 118 119 Changes from 0.3 to 0.4 (August 1993): 120 121 Lost in the mists of time (and my hurry to get it out before I 122 left my job). 123 124 Changes from 0.2 to 0.3 (9-30-92): 125 126 Several tests fixed to match the fact that MAKELEVEL > 0 or -C now 127 imply -w. 128 129 parallel_execution test fixed to not use double colon rules any 130 more since their behavior has changed. 131 132 errors_in_commands test fixed to handle different error messages 133 and return codes from rm. 134 135 Several tests fixed to handle -make_path with a relative path 136 and/or a name other than "make" for make. 137 138 dash-e-option test fixed to use $PATH instead of $USER (since the 139 latter does not exist on some System V systems). This also 140 removes the dependency on getlogin (which fails under certain 141 weird conditions). 142 143 test_driver_core changed so that you can give a test name like 144 scripts/errors_in_commands and it will be handled correctly (handy 145 if you have a shell with filename completion). 146 147 Changes from 0.1 to 0.2 (5-4-92): 148 149 README corrected to require perl 4.019, not 4.010. 150 151 -make_path replaces -old. 152 153 errors_in_commands test updated for change in format introduced in 154 make 3.62.6. 155 156 test_driver_core now uses a better way of figuring what OS it is 157 running on (thanks to meyering (a] cs.utexas.edu (Jim Meyering) for 158 suggesting this, as well as discovering the hard way that the old 159 way (testing for /mnt) fails on his machine). 160 161 Some new tests were added. 162 163 165 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 166 Copyright (C) 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 167 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 168 This file is part of GNU Make. 169 170 GNU Make is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the 171 terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software 172 Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any later version. 173 174 GNU Make is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY 175 WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR 176 A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
