Version 1.6.2-1 of the automake-devel package is now available. It
contains GNU automake-1.6.2, installed into /usr/autotool/devel.
Changes from 1.6.1-3:
o updated to official 1.6.2 release
New in 1.6.2:
* Many bug fixes, including:
- Requiring the current version works.
- Fix "$@" portability issues (for Zsh).
- Fix output of dummy dependency files in presence of post-processed
Makefile.in's.
- Don't compute dependencies in background to avoid races with
libtool.
- Fix handling of _OBJECTS variables for targets sharing source
variables.
- Check dependency mode for Java when AM_PROG_GCJ is used.
o No longer fails these tests:
pr300-ltlib.test
o However, it fails this tests:
subobj9 (was also failed in 1.6.1)
So, this is an improvement.
See NOTES section, below.
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link
on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to
your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick
up 'automake-devel' from the 'Devel' category.
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.
In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.
In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is already
updated.
In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date.
If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.
