Samba4 seem to not be building anymore outside /source

simple build script

Normally run with these steps....

$ cd $HOME/src/samba-4-0/source && ./autogen.sh
$ mkdir /misc/src/build/4.0.0
$ cd /misc/src/build/4.0.0
$ build-samba $HOME/src/samba-4-0/source
Comment 3 Alexander Bokovoy 2006-09-07 12:29:11 UTC
I need to rework ac_abs_*dir part to take those variables correctly early in configure stage.
Comment 4 Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer 2007-08-25 07:43:33 UTC
Isn't this bug obsolete now? It seems that this is now handled correctly!
Comment 5 Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer 2007-08-27 03:08:53 UTC
It seems that this have been fixed.
Comment 6 Andrew Bartlett 2007-08-27 05:23:33 UTC
I just tried the supplied script, and it failed.  Building to tools to use (asn1_compile etc) makes this rather tricky...
Comment 7 Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer 2008-05-23 09:57:20 UTC
This is a problem regarding the build system, so I assign it to Jelmer.
The problem is caused due to the partial lack of absolute path names in the makefiles.

I've applied your patches with some minor modifications. I doubt this fixes out-of-tree builds completely though, does it?

No, it doesn't fix it completely. It's a start.

Readme for build system

Removed the reference to "configure.in" in the readme file for the SAMBA 4build system.

Corrected "main.mk"

This introduces the "srcdir" environment variable.

Proposed version of "config_mk.pm"

I propose the remotion of the "for" loop to search the makefile snippets either in the build or source dir, because the "open" calls generate a lot of warnings.
The "main.pl" also prints out some warnings about an uninitialized string in line 58, but I haven't discovered the reason.

Comment 18 Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer 2008-05-24 07:37:58 UTC
Okay, now with my patches applied, "make" invoked with the build script reaches the state where the partial builded objects are made. The first seems to be "replace_hostcc.o". But I've no idea where to change there the path (I've only found an entry in "data.mk" which is autogenerated).

Readme for build system

I've been wrong here. The original is correct.
Comment 22 Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer 2009-12-15 10:14:52 UTC
Jelmer, does your new build system change something regarding this bug? Does it finally support the relative paths fully?
Comment 23 Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer 2010-04-08 07:15:42 UTC
I've pushed a fix which finally allows us to do the build invoke from the outside of "source4" using the new WAF buildsystem. See: http://gitweb.samba.org/samba.git/?p=samba.git;a=commit;h=f3f82496ac1198ffa65d5b2a052838248e0685aa

Marking this as "FIXED".
Comment 24 Jelmer Vernooij 2010-05-25 15:59:50 UTC
From what I understand we still don't support this properly, even with the waf build.
Comment 25 Jelmer Vernooij 2010-06-02 06:56:11 UTC
I can't really unassign, but I guess tridge is the best assignee for the waf build.

Proposed version of "config_mk.pm"

Well, I really think it matters how the reporter has thought it at the beginning.
So it would be nice if Simo could explain his satisfaction in combination with my solution.
Otherwise I really prefer to close this issue.

The request is to be able to build in a directory like source4/mybuild without anything changing outside of this directory.

If that has been achieved the bug is fixed, otherwise it isn't.

The reason is that this way I can do multiple builds with different build options w/o any one of them interfering with any other.

Simo.


Comment 28 Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer 2010-06-03 04:41:02 UTC
Well, so do you think that my patch doesn't fit your needs, Simo? You can keep various copies in various directories which don't interfer each other and you can do the build from outside of the "source4" directories (see my commit comment which is referenced by the URL).
Comment 29 Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer 2010-06-19 04:03:53 UTC
Tridge, it would be really nice to hear your opinion here. In my eyes this is fixed with my commit (URL).
Comment 30 Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer 2010-10-01 08:34:50 UTC
Well, I close this until I hear another argument.
