The file /usr/bin/cxref-cpp-configure embeds the path to grep, which is in a different location on a usrmerge vs. non-usrmerge system. https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/cxref.html EGREP="/bin/grep·-E" vs. EGREP="/usr/bin/grep·-E" Patch attached which hard-codes the value of EEGREP to use the non-usrmerge path (e.g. /bin/grep), as usrmerge installations typically have compatibility symlinks, but not vice-versa. With this patch applied (and the patch for timestamps previously submitted), cxref should build reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org in the testing/bookworm suite. On tests.reproducible-builds.org unstable and experimental also vary build paths, which trigger issues in the documentation. Thanks for maintaining cxref! live well, vagrant

This hard-codes the path to grep to ensure reproducible builds regardless of weather the package was built on a usrmerge or non-usrmerge system. Passing EGREP via configure did not appear to work, possibly due to makefile variable inheritence issues, though that would be preferable if it could be made to work. https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/issues/unstable/paths_vary_due_to_usrmerge_issue.html --- cpp/cxref-cpp-configure.in | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/cpp/cxref-cpp-configure.in b/cpp/cxref-cpp-configure.in index d37764f..ab50792 100755 --- a/cpp/cxref-cpp-configure.in +++ b/cpp/cxref-cpp-configure.in @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ # Programs and paths # (Default to the ones from the configure script). -EGREP="@EGREP@" +EGREP="/bin/egrep -E" prefix="@prefix@" datarootdir="@datarootdir@" -- 2.30.2
