From f04f17f9bf3fc5c2c325cb410da488d5e1e838fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Johnson Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2017 12:02:24 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Remove vpath for %.pl files It isn't needed, and in some configurations it causes build failures. Similar problems could still occur for other file types with a similar vpath, but it's less likely that other file types would be installed in an equivalent $(TOP)/../ path. The original issue with .pl files was caused by an installation of Base where the parent directory had a bin/ soft-link pointing to the same bin/ of a newer installation of the same version of Base, so it had all the necessary .pl files in it. The vpath allowed the build in src/tools to search $(TOP)/../bin/ when checking the buildInstall dependency, and since it found those .pl files through the vpath it didn't bother to install them. When they were run later on in the build from the $(TOP)/bin// path they weren't present so it failed. --- configure/RULES_BUILD | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/configure/RULES_BUILD b/configure/RULES_BUILD index d678898c6..6d2a5cd55 100644 --- a/configure/RULES_BUILD +++ b/configure/RULES_BUILD @@ -25,7 +25,6 @@ vpath %.html $(USR_VPATH) $(ALL_SRC_DIRS) vpath %.skel.static $(USR_VPATH) $(ALL_SRC_DIRS) vpath %.y $(USR_VPATH) $(ALL_SRC_DIRS) vpath %.l $(USR_VPATH) $(ALL_SRC_DIRS) -vpath %.pl $(USR_VPATH) $(ALL_SRC_DIRS) #---------------------------------------------------------------
