So let's find out what paths the autogen.sh actually uses when
comparing. Remember that autogen.sh is actually perl, so above the "if
($src_path ne $build_path)" line add a line
print STDERR "src_path: -$src_path- build_path: -$build_path-\n";
and you can stick an
exit(1); > in there as well to stop it from messing up the checkout while
debugging that. What kind of difference there'll be between the
src_path and build_path variables should give further hints as to how
to fix that issue.
The output is
src_path: -/cygdrive/c/BuildLO4/core- build_path:
-/cygdrive/c/buildLO4/core-
And when I move the lines
print STDERR "src_path: -$src_path- build_path: -$build_path-\n";
exit(1)
inside the then-branch of
if ($src_path ne $build_path)
then it will be reached.
I thinks it means that is is a problem, that in src_path we have an
upper "B" and in build_path a lower "b".
Yeah, a problem that can occur on case-preserving filesystems like is
the default on Windows/NTFS and on macOS with apfs or hfs+:
The following illustrates the difference - build_dir is based on the
current directory, in the casing the user did pick, and src_dir is
based on the path to autogen.sh as it is called.
libo-core is the "real" name
cloph@mbAir libo-core % cd ../Libo-Core
cloph@mbAir Libo-Core % ./autogen.sh
-/Users/cloph/source/libo-core- -/Users/cloph/source/Libo-Core-
cloph@mbAir Libo-Core % /Users/cloph/source/libo-core/autogen.sh
-/Users/cloph/source/libo-core- -/Users/cloph/source/Libo-Core-
cloph@mbAir Libo-Core % /Users/cloph/source/Libo-core/autogen.sh
-/Users/cloph/source/Libo-core- -/Users/cloph/source/Libo-Core-
So an easy workaround for you is to either call autogen.sh with the
same casing as your build-dir.
Not clear what you mean.
I see user@DESKTOP-"K"%HSN /cygdrive/c/buildLO4/core
and each of the following alters the Makefile files and creates the
include/include file:
$ cygdrive/c/buildLO4/core/autogen.sh
$ c:/buildLO4/core/autogen.sh
$ /cygdrive/c/BuildLO4/core/autogen.sh
c:/BuildLO4/core/autogen.sh
What seems to work is to use a folder that has in Windows a lowercase b,
that is c:\buildLO5 for example.
To fix this: at least on macOS using perl's CWD getcwd() command
instead of cwd() returns the canonical name instead of the user-picked
one, need to check whether that also works on cygwin.
but that of course is only half of the problem, the other half then is
normalizing the sourcedir, but that can then be solved by cd'ing to
srcdir and also calling getcwd() there before cd'ing back.
Interestingly that behavior change contradicts the note in the CWD
module's documentation:
https://perldoc.perl.org/Cwd
"Actually, on Mac OS, the getcwd(), fastgetcwd() and fastcwd()
functions are all aliases for the cwd() function, which, on Mac OS,
calls `pwd`. Likewise, the abs_path() function is an alias for
fast_abs_path()."
cloph@mbAir Libo-Core % pwd
/Users/cloph/source/Libo-Core
there's no difference in abs_path vs realpath, so
chdir($src_path);
$src_path=getcwd();
at the top seems unavoidable, but is also easy to do.
The start of my autogen.sh is now:
use strict;
use Cwd ('cwd', 'realpath', 'getcwd');
use File::Basename;
my $src_path=dirname(realpath($0));
my $build_path=realpath(cwd());
chdir($src_path);
$src_path=getcwd();
# since this looks crazy, if you have a ...
I do not really understand what there happens, but with these changes
the Makefile files are no longer changed, no include/include file, and
Skia builds.
Kind regards,
Regina
