Apparently, several sources have a hardcoded "/sw/" in them,
which can wreak havoc when there is both a "/sw" tree on the machine
and some other fink tree _ could be the private "sw" tree in some
(possibly non-privileged) user's home dir, or a system-wide "swXY"
or "/usr/local" tree ...
For example, in the build-dir of emacs23, the following lines
break everything if e.g. there is both a "sw" tree and another one
(say "sw64"), and when working in the second ..
(In this case, it visibly pre-pends completely wrong search dirs
to all commands ..)
Such crosstalk must be avoided ...
> # fgrep -n -C1 "I/sw/include -L/sw/lib" configure*
> configure-2493- if test -d /sw/include && test -d /sw/lib; then
> configure:2494: GCC_TEST_OPTIONS="-I/sw/include -L/sw/lib"
> configure-2495- CPP="${CPP} ${GCC_TEST_OPTIONS}"
> --
> configure.in-388- if test -d /sw/include && test -d /sw/lib; then
> configure.in:389: GCC_TEST_OPTIONS="-I/sw/include -L/sw/lib"
> configure.in-390- CPP="${CPP} ${GCC_TEST_OPTIONS}"
Adding the following avoids it, and seems to lead to a sucessfull build
(in either tree):
> PatchScript: <<
> %{default_script}
> sed -i'' -e 's,-I/sw/include -L/sw/lib,,' configure{,.in}
> <<
Even for pkgs where this would break something, it has to be done :
the src cannot know %p, it is up to the info file to set things up
correctly.
It may be useful to grep for hard-coded "/sw/" in the sources
when preparing or checking a pkg .. ["sw" is (unluckily) a too short
string, but "/sw/" should not give too many false positives,
and should catch the bulk of the problems ..]
Fink seems to have been too succesfull ! :)
