Summary |
configure script overrides value for --prefix even if it should not |
|
Description |
If I run
./configure --prefix=/var/tmp/cfgsymlink
and /var/tmp/cfgsymlink is a symlink to /var/tmp/cfgtest/,
the resulting prefix variable in config.status is not
"/var/tmp/cfgsymlink" (as specified by the user who
probably wants it that way) but "/var/tmp/cfgtest".
The reason for this behaviour is an incomplete fix for
relative path prefixes in configure.in where every prefix
is changed with
prefix="`cd $prefix && pwd`"
instead of relative prefixes only. |
|
Steps To Reproduce |
- create a directory /var/tmp/cfgtest
- create a symlink /var/tmp/cfgsymlink pointing to
/var/tmp/cfgtest
- run
./configure --prefix=/var/tmp/cfgsymlink
- examine config.status and wonder why @prefix@ does not
have the value "/var/tmp/cfgsymlink". |
|
Additional Information / Solution |
Apply the appended patch where prefix is only changed if
the path is relative, ie it starts with a dot. |
