Kamil Domański commented on MESOS-1776: --------------------------------------- [~tstclair], I'd like some feedback on whether the ability to provide a prefix for unbundled dependencies is necessary. The current method for providing the prefix is a bit unusual and conflicts with canonical usage of *\-\-with-X* and *\-\-without-X* flags. A workaround is possible by checking for the variables in question being equal to "*no*" and changing their values to "*/usr*" in such cases. However, I see removal of prefixing altogether as a preferred solution. Either way, I'd like to take care of this as as soon as I'm pointed in the right direction. > --without-PACKAGE will set incorrect dependency prefix > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MESOS-1776 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1776 > Project: Mesos > Issue Type: Bug > Components: build > Affects Versions: 0.20.0 > Reporter: Kamil Domański > Labels: build > > When disabling a particular bundled dependency with *--without-PACKAGE*, the > build scripts of both Mesos and libprocess will set a corresponding variable > to "no". This is later treated as prefix under which to search for the > package. > For example, with *--without-protobuf*, the script will search for *protoc* > under *no/bin* and obviously fail. I would propose to get rid of these > prefixes entirely and instead search in default locations. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
