So apparently Debian line takes precedence over the Redhat line (which
turns out to be useless).
Not at all. On Debian the HAL_CALLOUTS_PATH is set by pkg-config. The check
if (test -d "${libdir}/hal"); then
always fails, because at the time this check is performed the
${libdir} variable isn't expanded yet (the path must be hardcoded in
order for this test to make sense). So here it will literally check
for the existence of the path ${libdir}/hal which obviously doesn't
exist. So the first check that is performed after pkg-config failed
and the above test failed too is
elif (test -d "/usr/libexec"); then
According to our information, this is where the HAL_CALLOUTS_PATH
should point to on RedHat (and which presumably is equal to
${libexecdir}.
The next test for OpenSuse, by the way, will
only work on 32-bit platforms, because the lib path is hardcoded and
apparently will fail anyway, because they do have /usr/libexec.
Nonsense. Regardless of the platform, these binaries should go to
/usr/lib/hal. See the following output (I run openSUSE-11.2 x86_64)
# test -d /usr/lib/hal; echo $?
0
# test -d /usr/libexec; echo $?
1
So on a 32-bit system, you should run ./configure with
--libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib/hal
and on a 64-bit system, it should be
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/lib/hal
Therefore, I suspect that the detection logic in nut_check_libhal.m4 is
broken. Is it indeed the case or I have to read some magic files for
enlightenment?
It isn't (at least not on the machines we tested on).
I would suggest to swap the order of Debian and Redhat lines and for
Redhat check against the existence of /etc/redhat-release which is
guaranteed to be there on all RH distributions.
We're not checking for a specific distro here, only for a pathname
(and we only put the comments there for reference).
Best regards, Arjen
