This line from configure: AS_AC_EXPAND(DATADIR, $datadir) results in autobuild in: datadir: ${prefix}/share if I run configure without --datadir=/usr/share. I'm not sure if this is normal, but this work local without the option. It's maybe a problem in autobuild? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Therefore I re-open this bug as an enhancement for 10.3 (it is not necessary for 10.2 because the --datadir workaround in the spec file works). hal uses old version 0.1.0 of the AS_AC_EXPAND macro. This is not compatible with the new autoconf 2.60 because of stricter quoting rules. An update to version 0.2.0 of AS_AC_EXPAND fixes the problem, so that it works even without adding --datadir. IMHO this should be fixed for upstream hal as well because the problem is not SUSE specific. The latest AS_AC_EXPAND upstream is http://autostars.cvs.sourceforge.net/autostars/autostars/ac-expand/ I will attach a diff that updates hal to AS_AC_EXPAND version 0.2.0. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=210297 ------- Comment #8 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2006-11-17 10:10 MST ------- There are actually two reasons why the current code doesn't work with autoconf 2.60, and only the combination of both makes the failure visible. (1) autoconf 2.59 had only one expansion level for ${datadir}, autoconf 2.60 has two of them. autoconf 2.59: ${datadir}=${prefix}/share autoconf 2.60: ${datadir}=${datarootdir} ${datarootdir}=${prefix}/share This means that with autoconf 2.60, the eval has to be done twice. AS_AC_EXPAND does it even more radically, it uses a "while" loop that evals the variable repeatedly and does a "break" when it doesn't change any more. (2) There is a bug in the "while" loop that causes it to do the "break" earlier as intended, caused by a whitespace-related syntax error. This code is supposed to compare the left value to the right one and return 0 only if they are equal: if test "x$new_full_var"="x$full_var"; then break; fi But this does not work, "test" needs whitespaces around the equation sign. To reproduce: # test x=y ; echo $? 0 # test x = y ; echo $? 1 Therefore, the missing whitespaces cause the expansion to be aborted too early, the variable is effectively expanded just once. And this becomes visible with autoconf 2.60 because autoconf 2.60 needs the repeated expansions as a consequence of the introduction of ${datarootdir}. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
