err... I think the problem was that some OSes needed it and some
didn't...
Possibly.
The individual configure options are (single) quoted, and the
whole thing is (double) quoted, so I can't immediately see
why the extra set of quotes might be needed.
Maybe I need to dig back into the mailing list archives.
I think that may break other things now. I guess we'll see.
Indeed.
That's why I only applied this to the main development branch :-)
At least it potentially breaks the use of "net-snmp-config
--configure-options" for configure options (like --with-mib-modules)
containing *spaces*.
Here's what I usually do to configure the source exactly like the
system-installed version:
foo# net-snmp-config --version
5.2.1
foo# net-snmp-config --configure-options
'--prefix=/my/path' '--with-mib-modules=host disman/event-mib'
foo# eval ./configure `net-snmp-config --configure-options`
<works fine>
This fails with 5.3.dev because of the missing quotes:
foo# net-snmp-config --version
5.3.dev
foo# net-snmp-config --configure-options
--prefix=/my/path --with-mib-modules=host disman/event-mib
foo# eval ./configure `net-snmp-config --configure-options`
configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
configure: WARNING: invalid host type: disman/event-mib
<fails miserably>
Am I missing something obvious to get the same functionality with 5.3.dev?
