Modified: . configure.in Log: * configure.in: Ensure that $CC and $CPP are correctly passed through to the pcre configure script if config caching is disabled (the autoconf 2.5x default).
FWIW, this commit breaks the build when a cache file is used.
configuring package in srclib/pcre now
configure: loading cache .../config.cache
configure: error: `CC' was not set in the previous run
configure: error: `CPP' was not set in the previous run
configure: error: changes in the environment can compromise the build
configure: error: run `make distclean' and/or `rm .../config.cache' and start over
configure failed for srclib/pcre
% autoconf -V | head -1 autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57
So, can we find a better solution? I think $cache_file points to the cache file, but by default it is set to /dev/null - other parts of autoconf seem to use test -r, so perhaps something like:
if test ! -r "$cache_file"; then export CC; export CPP fi
What do you think? -- justin
