Rather than have the user play with the sudoers file I will add this
line to the generated Makefile.
export PATH := ${PATH}:/usr/sbin
If the user already has /usr/sbin in his/her PATH then this will be
redundant. YES, I could check for and not add the additional path if it
already existed but this is a cheap and dirty fix.
First, I like it better to just put the needed paths in the Makefile
than to silently expect them to be there. Here's an alternative that
bombs if /sbin or /usr/sbin aren't in the path. Then the user can put
it where they want.
$ cat Makefile
all: checkpaths
ls
checkpaths:
ifeq (,$(findstring /sbin,$(subst :, ,$(PATH))))
$(error You must have /sbin in your PATH!)
endif
ifeq (,$(findstring /usr/sbin,$(subst :, ,$(PATH))))
$(error You must have /usr/sbin in your PATH!)
endif
$ make
Makefile:6: *** You must have /sbin in your PATH!. Stop.
$ PATH=/sbin:$PATH
$ make
Makefile:9: *** You must have /usr/sbin in your PATH!. Stop.
$ PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH
$ make
