So, let me see if I understand what you're saying. Let's say I have some .in files which have references to @prefix@ and @bindir@ (which is ${prefix}/bin). I run configure which creates realfile from realfile.in - I don't pass in --prefix to configure, which means @prefix@ will expand to "/usr" and @bindir@ to "/usr/bin" in realfile. Next, I run make prefix=/myprefix install. realfile will still refer to "/usr" even though I've told make to use "/myprefix" instead.On Tue, 2007-03-13 at 08:09 -0600, Richard Megginson wrote:Andrew Bartlett wrote:It seems odd because it is odd - but there is no other way to replace things like @localstatedir@, @sysconfdir@, @sbindir@, etc. in .in files that we use during the build. I don't know how other projects do this - perhaps they ignore the "mandated GNU coding standards" and just have ${prefix} and ${exec_prefix} expanded during configure, and just let AC_CONFIG_FILES and AC_OUTPUT create all of the real files from their corresponding .in file.<snip> It was this bit in Makefile.am that seems odd to me: # these are for the config files and scripts that we need to generate and replace # the paths and other tokens with the real values set during configure/make # note that we cannot just use AC_OUTPUT to do this for us, since it will do things like this: # LD_LIBRARY_PATH = ${prefix}/lib/fedora-ds # i.e. it literally copies in '${prefix}' rather than expanding it out - we want this instead: # LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/lib/fedora-ds if BUNDLE fixupcmd = sed \ -e 's,@bindir\@,$(bindir),g' \ -e 's,@sbindir\@,$(sbindir),g' \I think so. The coding standard seems to imply that you must be able to change the $prefix and $exec_prefix in the install, but that all internal references must be as if they had *not* been changed.
Where does it say or imply that? Isn't that what "make DESTDIR=/path install" for?
Perhaps that's the clue? Andrew Bartlett-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora-directory-devel mailing list Fedora-directory-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-devel
