Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.55
Severity: important
Hello,
In https://launchpad.net/bugs/138981 it was reported that cdbs'
makefile-vars.mk clobbers LDFLAGS/CFLAGS set by upstream makefiles.
DEB_MAKE_INVOKE = $(DEB_MAKE_ENVVARS) $(MAKE) $(if $(DEB_MAKE_MAKEFILE), -f
$(DEB_MAKE_MAKEFILE),) -C $(DEB_BUILDDIR) CFLAGS=$(if
$(CFLAGS_$(cdbs_curpkg)),"$(CFLAGS_$(cdbs_curpkg))","$(CFLAGS)") CXXFLAGS=$(if
$(CXXFLAGS_$(cdbs_curpkg)),"$(CXXFLAGS_$(cdbs_curpkg))","$(CXXFLAGS)")
CPPFLAGS=$(if
$(CPPFLAGS_$(cdbs_curpkg)),"$(CPPFLAGS_$(cdbs_curpkg))","$(CPPFLAGS)")
LDFLAGS=$(if $(LDFLAGS_$(cdbs_curpkg)),"$(LDFLAGS_$(cdbs_curpkg))","$(LDFLAGS)")
This is wrong, since if $LDFLAGS is not set in the environment, but in the
upstream Makefiles, this ends up as
make LDFLAGS=""
and thus upstream makefiles which only provide defaults (instead of overriding)
break.
Patching this is obvious, the "LDFLAGS=" simply needs to be moved into the
conditional substitution, but I wouldn't like to change this in Ubuntu
without having it changed in Debian as well, to avoid toolchain
diversion.
Thanks for considering,
Martin
