Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP packages of automake 1.7.4

Hello.

I'd like to announce DJGPP packages of automake 1.7.4. But what is automake?
>From its README:

"This is Automake, a Makefile generator.  It was inspired by the 4.4BSD
make and include files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the
GNU standards for Makefile variables and targets.

Automake is a Perl script.  The input files are called Makefile.am.
The output files are called Makefile.in; they are intended for use
with Autoconf.  Automake requires certain things to be done in your
configure.in."

This release is mainly a bug-fix release. Here is a list of changes from the
NEWS file:

* Tweak the TAGS rule to support Exuberant Ctags (in addition to
  the Emacs implementation)
* Fix output of aclocal.m4 dependencies in subdirectories.
* Use `mv -f' instead of `mv' in fastdep rules.
* Upgrade mdate-sh to work on OS/2.
* Don't byte-compile elisp files when ELCFILES is set empty.
  (this documented feature was broken by 1.7.3)
* Diagnose trailing backslashes on last line of Makefile.am.
* Diagnose whitespace following trailing backslashes.
* Multiple tests are now correctly supported in DEJATOOL. (PR/388)
* Fix rebuilt rules for AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile:Makefile.in:Makefile.bot])
  Makefiles. (PR/389)
* Minor documentation fixes.

The DJGPP binary and source packages of automake 1.7.4 require the DJGPP
binary package of autoconf 2.57 to be installed.

If you wish to use automake and read its documentation in info format, you
only need to download the binary package (amak174b.zip). If you wish to read
its documentation in DVI, HTML or PostScript, you need to download the
documentation package (amak174d.zip). If you wish to read the sources, rebuild
from sources or run the automake testsuite, you need to download the source
package (amak174s.zip).

Please direct any further discussions about this port
to comp.os.msdos.djgpp newsgroup (or write to its e-mail gateway
djgpp AT delorie DOT com). I try to read the DJGPP newsgroup on a regular basis,
but also please feel free to contact me by e-mail (address below).
