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. - -Version 4.10 (skipped) -====================== - -This number was skipped to avoid confusion with Version 4.1, patch level 0 -which identified itself as "Version 4.10, PL 0". - -Version 4.9 -=========== - -Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org) -#i74700# Add a new special macro OOODMAKEMODE that is used to toggle -OOo build specific behavior.

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 $@, $*, $>, $?, $<, $&, $^ and $(PWD), $(MAKEDIR) -and $(TMD). - -Examples: - Content of $(PWD) without .WINPATH (default): /cygdrive/c/temp - - Content of $(PWD) with .WINPATH set: c:/temp - - -Version 4.7 -=========== - -Volker Quetschke (vq@openoffice.org) -#i71422# Add @@ as a new recipe line property.

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 (vq@openoffice.org) -#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. - -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).

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.
