[PATCH v4] To make GIT-VERSION-FILE, search for git more widely

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Situation: sudo make install can rebuilds the whole package even if
you've just built it before. For instance:

make configure
./configure    # defaults to --prefix=/usr/local
make all doc
sudo make install install-doc install-html # REBUILDS HAPPEN HERE

This causes the "sudo make install" to rebuild everything because it believes
the version had changed.  sudo strips $PATH for security reasons.

The underlying problem flow is:

1 - Makefile has "include GIT-VERSION-FILE", thus gmake builds
    GIT-VERSION-FILE early.
2 - GIT-VERSION-FILE depends on a .PHONY target (.FORCE-GIT-VERSION-FILE)
3 - Thus, GNU make *always* executes GIT-VERSION-GEN
4 - GIT-VERSION-GEN now, under the stripped $PATH, cannot find "git" and
    sees a different version number.
5 - GIT-VERSION-GEN notes the difference in versions and regenerates
    GIT-VERSION-FILE, with up-to-date timestamp.
6 - GNU make rebuilds everything because GIT-VERSION-FILE is new.

The patch makes GIT-VERSION-GEN look for git in $(prefix)/bin, then for
the newly built git$X executable, before falling back to plain "git" and
thus to the default version in GIT-VERSION-GEN. This increases chances
that we get the same version with the stripped $PATH and get away
without rebuild.

Junio C. Hamano suggested that we look into $(prefix)/bin before the
current work directory in order to aid cross-compiling.
