Good day, worthy hackers. In a nutshell: I'm trying to port ipsec-tools. After satisfying a set of build-dependencies and dancing around a few more by selectively mangling build scripts, I'm a bit stumped. After all the efforts, it is ipsec-tools package itself that fails to build, which I can't help but appreciate with certain sense of irony.
Actually I am fairly certain I have pinpointed the reason and would
like a few hints as to how to progress in fixing it: path to
'ipsec-tools-$VERSION/src/racoon/missing' is defined wrong. See below.
(Note: happens identically in both 1.1rc5 and 1.1 release)
* In succesful build, on regular Debian host system:
(from src/Makefile)
srcdir = .
top_srcdir = ..
...
CPPFLAGS = -D_GNU_SOURCE -include ./src/include-glibc/glibc-bugs.h
-I./src/include-glibc -I./src/include-glibc
-I./${top_srcdir}/src/racoon/missing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
`-- expands correctly
Build works as it should.
* In maemo scratchbox:
(from src/Makefile)
srcdir = /home/bostik/debs/ipsec-tools-0.6.3/src
top_srcdir = /home/bostik/debs/ipsec-tools-0.6.3
...
CPPFLAGS = -D_GNU_SOURCE -include
/home/bostik/debs/ipsec-tools-0.6.3/src/include-glibc/glibc-bugs.h
-I/home/bostik/debs/ipsec-tools-0.6.3/src/include-glibc -I./src/include-glibc
-I./${top_srcdir}/src/racoon/missing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
`-- expands wrong
(from build)
i386-linux-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.
-I/home/bostik/debs/ipsec-tools-0.6.3/src/racoon -I../..
-I/home/bostik/debs/ipsec-tools-0.6.3/src/racoon/../libipsec
-D_GNU_SOURCE -include
/home/bostik/debs/ipsec-tools-0.6.3/src/include-glibc/glibc-bugs.h
-I/home/bostik/debs/ipsec-tools-0.6.3/src/include-glibc
-I./src/include-glibc
-I.//home/bostik/debs/ipsec-tools-0.6.3/src/racoon/missing -D_GNU_SOURCE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
`-- This should be really '..'
...which naturally fails since .// is same as ./
This appears to be some kind of freakish way autotools actually work
within scratchbox.
- Why do autotools work this differently?
- Any hints how to go about fixing this?
My knowledge of autotools' internals is very limited, and I am the
first to confess that I know them just enough to know that I can not be
said to like them. So far I've managed to steer mostly clear of them.
I am quite ready to shoulder the brunt work, but I need a helpful
pointer or three as to where I need to dig, and how big a shovel is
required.
Thank you all,
