Hi,
Every now and then the world moves to a more recent autoconf (2.64 is
popular nowadays) and distros in OE have to to through a lengthy
test-fix-bump cycle to keep up. The workaround for such a problem
usually is:
do_configure() {
gnu-configize
oe_runconf
}
That gets us the config.guess for exotic targets (e.g. avr32) and runs
the in-tree configure script. What are your opinions on adding something
like this to autotools.bbclass:
if ((needed autoconf > installed autoconf) && configure exists)
BIG FAT WARNING
skip libtoolize + reconf
The biggest problem with that is that is "silently" degrades when using
the "wrong autoconf" and the possibility for mismatched
do_configure_prepend/append methods.
Do the benefits (not littering recipes with global shortcuts) outweigh
the downsides?
regards,
Koen
