-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 -------------------------------------------------------------------- GNU make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program's source files.
You can learn more at: http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- The next stable release of GNU make, 4.2, is available now for download: 85ad14d08766201ffe71efa866f4fb91 make-release/make-4.2.tar.bz2 1141ca815c806a5bfedbbaa1551410f3 make-release/make-4.2.tar.gz You can obtain a copy from: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/ You can choose a nearby mirror: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/make/ A list of mirror sites is available: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html - - NEWS ---------------------------------------------------------------- A complete list of bugs fixed in this version is available here: http://sv.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?group=make&report_id=111&fix_release_id=106&set=custom * New variable: $(.SHELLSTATUS) is set to the exit status of the last != or $(shell ...) function invoked in this instance of make. This will be "0" if successful or not "0" if not successful. The variable value is unset if no != or $(shell ...) function has been invoked. * The $(file ...) function can now read from a file with $(file <FILE). The function is expanded to the contents of the file. The contents are expanded verbatim except that the final newline, if any, is stripped. * The makefile line numbers shown by GNU make now point directly to the specific line in the recipe where the failure or warning occurred. Sample changes suggested by Brian Vandenberg <phant...@gmail.com> * The interface to GNU make's "jobserver" is stable as documented in the manual, for tools which may want to access it. WARNING: Backward-incompatibility! The internal-only command line option --jobserver-fds has been renamed for publishing, to --jobserver-auth. * The amount of parallelism can be determined by querying MAKEFLAGS, even when the job server is enabled (previously MAKEFLAGS would always contain only "-j", with no number, when job server was enabled). * VMS-specific changes: * Perl test harness now works. * Full support for converting Unix exit status codes to VMS exit status codes. BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY Notice: On a child failure the VMS exit code is now the encoded Unix exit status that Make usually generates, not the VMS exit status of the child. - - Log ----------------------------------------------------------------- Benedikt Morbach (1): * tests/scripts/features/archives: [SV 43405] override AR variable.
