CDBS - how to source a shell fragement before running ./configure?
Hi,
I'm currently packaging some "internal" software named gds with the
great CDBS package. However, I have a problem. One of the build
dependencies installs things into a non-standard system location (read
/opt) and I need to source one file to let the configure script know
where to look for certain software.
Right now my debian/rules file looks like:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
MAJOR_VER := 2.13
DEB_TAR_SRCDIR:=gds-2.13.1
INSTALL_PREFIX:=/opt/lscsoft/gds
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/tarball.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools.mk
DEB_CONFIGURE_NORMAL_ARGS := --prefix=$(INSTALL_PREFIX)
--libdir=$(INSTALL_PREFIX)/lib --enable-online --enable-dtt
CFLAGS += -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309 -fPIC
------8><------------8><----------------
This one works provided I source /opt/foo/bar.sh before running
dpkg-buildpackage. Obviously, I would like to get this included into the
rules file, however, my current attempts failed since it seems that the
"source" only happens in a subshell and the remaining (inlcuded makefile
snippets odn't know about this)
I'm adding this to the debian/rules file:
makebuilddir/gds::
source /opt/foo/bar.sh
which subsequently leads the configure script to fail when detecting
software available under /opt
Any idea how to solve this? If possible I'd like to stay with CDBS :)
Is there a way to "import" the additions the source'd file makes to the
environment into the makefile?
I've read a lot of pages returned by google, however, they did not
really help me.
TIA
Carsten
