The machine/{configure,Makefile} files exist only to fan out to the
specific machine/$arch/ subdir. We already have all that same info
in the libc/ dir itself, so by moving the recursive configure and
make calls into it, we can cut off this logic entirely and save the
overhead.
For arches that don't have a machine subdir, it means they can skip
the logic entirely. Although there's prob not too many of those.
This was added decades ago, but the commit message lacks any
explanation, and it was unused when it was merged. It's still
unused today. So punt it all.
The newlib & libgloss dirs are already generated using autoconf-2.69.
To avoid merging new code and/or accidental regeneration using diff
versions, leverage config/override.m4 to pin to 2.69 exactly. This
matches what gcc/binutils/gdb are already doing.
The README file already says to use autoconf-2.69.
To accomplish this, it's just as simple as adding -I flags to the
top-level config/ dir when running aclocal. This is because the
override.m4 file overrides AC_INIT to first require the specific
autoconf version before calling the real AC_INIT.
The 'cygnus' option was removed from automake 1.13 in 2012, so the
presence of this option prevents that or a later version of automake
being used.
A check-list of the effects of '--cygnus' from the automake 1.12
documentation, and steps taken (where possible) to preserve those
effects (See also this thread [1] for discussion on that):
[1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-03/msg00048.html
1. The foreign strictness is implied.
Already present in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4
2. The options no-installinfo, no-dependencies and no-dist are implied.
Already present in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4
Future work: Remove no-dependencies and any explicit header dependencies,
and use automatic dependency tracking instead. Are there explicit rules
which are now redundant to removing no-installinfo and no-dist?
3. The macro AM_MAINTAINER_MODE is required.
Already present in newlib/acinclude.m4
Note that maintainer-mode is still disabled by default.
4. Info files are always created in the build directory, and not in the
source directory.
This appears to be an error in the automake documentation describing
'--cygnus' [2]. newlib's info files are generated in the source
directory, and no special steps are needed to keep doing that.
[2] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-04/msg00028.html
5. texinfo.tex is not required if a Texinfo source file is specified.
(The assumption is that the file will be supplied, but in a place that
automake cannot find.)
This effect is overriden by an explicit setting of the TEXINFO_TEX
variable (the directory part of which is fed into texi2X via the
TEXINPUTS environment variable).
6. Certain tools will be searched for in the build tree as well as in the
user's PATH. These tools are runtest, expect, makeinfo and texi2dvi.
For obscure automake reasons, this effect of '--cygnus' is not active
for makeinfo in newlib's configury.
However, there appears to be top-level configury which selects in-tree
runtest, expect and makeinfo, if present. So, if that works as it
appears, this effect is preserved. If not, this may cause problem if
anyone is building those tools in-tree.
This effect is not preserved for texi2dvi. This may cause problems if
anyone is building texinfo in-tree.
If needed, explicit checks for those tools looking in places relative to
$(top_srcdir)/../ as well as in PATH could be added.
7. The check target doesn't depend on all.
This effect is not preseved. The check target now depends on the all
target.
This concern seems somewhat academic given the current state of the
testsuite.
Also note that this doesn't touch libgloss.
Add all the effects of 'cygnus' for which there exists an explicit way
to request that behaviour:
* Implied foreign strictness and options no-installinfo, no-dependencies
and no-dist are added to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4.
* macro AM_MAINTAINER_MODE is added to newlib/acinclude.m4.
* For the implied TEXINFO_TEX of '$(top_srcdir)/../texinfo/texinfo.tex',
an explicit TEXINFO_TEX is always relative to $(srcdir), so write the
same pathname in that form.
This is to prepare for the removal of the automake option '--cygnus'.
Add makedocbook, a tool to process makedoc markup and output DocBook XML
refentries.
Process all the source files which are processed with makedoc with
makedocbook as well
Add chapter-texi2docbook, a tool to automatically generate DocBook XML
chapter files from the chapter .texi files. For generating man pages all we
care about is the content of the refentries, so all this needs to do is
convert the @include of the makedoc generated .def files to xi:include of
the makedocbook generated .xml files.
Add skeleton Docbook XML book files, lib[cm].in.xml which include these
generated chapters, which in turn include the generated files containing
refentries, which is processed with xsltproc to generate the lib[cm].xml
Add new make targets to generate and install man pages from lib[cm].xml
