Any comments on this patch?
Dan
The default collectd.conf file created for me by autoconf from the
collectd.conf.in file contains this for the first four entries with
variable
substitutions:
#BaseDir "${prefix}/var/lib/collectd"
#PIDFile "${prefix}/var/run/collectd.pid"
#PluginDir "${exec_prefix}/lib/collectd"
#TypesDB "/usr/local/share/collectd/types.db"
That is, all but the last contains variable references like
${prefix}. Needless to say, collectd doesn't expand these references
and it ends up creating files in directories named literally
"${prefix}". Looking at the autoconf output, it appears that all
autoconf
substitution variables except for @prefix@ do this, and some (like
@execdir@) go through two levels of variable indirection.
It looks like this is by design, as the autoconf documentation says
"...you should not use these variables except in makefiles". The
workaround
they suggest is to use sed to do the variable substitution manually
for each
desired variable, instead of using AC_CONFIG_FILES.
The attached patch changes collectd to use the specified method of
replacing
the directory variables.
Dan
