Hi,
If you attempt to cross-compile subversion with a sysroot path containing "-D",
blame.c will fail to compile, failing to find serf.h.
The root cause is this line in serf.m4:
SVN_SERF_INCLUDES=[`$PKG_CONFIG $serf_major --cflags | $SED -e
's/-D[^ ]*//g'`]
I assume the intention is simply to strip any pre-compile defines from the
cflags returned by pkg-config, but the regex is too aggressive.
This was observed in subversion 1.8.9, doing a Yocto build on Linux, but a code
inspection of 1.8.13 suggests the issue is still there and it doesn't look
especially platform sensitive.
Repro steps:
Set-up a Yocto environment in a path such as '/home/user/Dev-Demo'. Then run
"bitbake subversion-native".
Regards,
Bruce
