Bug Description
This release comes with two important changes:
1. It introduces a new feature aimed at making the implementation
of non-recursive build systems more convenient and manageable
(thanks to the new support for the '%reldir%' and '%canon_reldir%'
automake-time substitutions).
2. It improves the handling of C compiles not supporting the conjunct
use of the '-c' and '-o' options (unfortunately, this improvement
comes with a couple of minor backward-
in detail in the NEWS section below). Among th other things, this
means that you no longer need to explicitly call the AM_PROG_CC_C_O
macro yourself in configure.ac (pre-existing invocation of this
macro are of course still accepted and correctly working, for the
sake of backward-
The 1.14 release also introduces new (non-fatal) runtime warnings to
simplify the transition to Automake 2.0. You are free to ignore such
warnings for now, but should address them before the transition to
Automake 2.0 (whose ETA is about one year from now, maybe more, so no
need to hurry yet).
