Hi Hans-Peter, Le vendredi 14 décembre 2007, Hans-Peter Jansen a écrit :

Hi,

from time to time, some of my rpmbuilds bail out during "make" run, which boil down to Makefiles created on the fly with commands containing "cd", because that echos the new path into the generated Makefile, rendering it invalid.

E.g.: (excerpt from hylafax/man/Makefile.in)

cman.apps/Makefile: ${DEPTH}/defs cman.apps ${MANCAPP} ${RM} -f cman.apps/Makefile (${ECHO} '#!smake'; \ ${ECHO} 'DEPTH=../..'; \ ${ECHO} '@MAKEINCLUDE@ @MAKELQUOTE@$${DEPTH}/defs@MAKERQUOTE@';\ ${ECHO} 'install:'; \ (cd cman.apps; for i in *.1; do \ f=${MANCAPPNAME}; \ ${ECHO} ' $${INSTALL} -m 444 -root $${INSTALLROOT} -F $${MAN}/$${MANAPPS} \ -idb $${PRODUCT}.man.client -src' "$$i" '-O' "$$f"; \ done); \ ${ECHO}; \ ${ECHO} 'uninstall:'; \ (cd cman.apps; for i in *.1; do \ f=${MANCAPPNAME}; \ ${ECHO} ' $${RM} -f $${MAN}/$${MANAPPS}/'"$$f"; \ done) \ )>cman.apps/Makefile

Since similar sequences can be found in the other packages as well. I wonder, why I suffer from this occasionally, but most of you seemingly not. Before I start digging into the bash source, I thought, I try to get some expert advice.

Does that issue rings a bell for anybody?

"cd" doesn't echo anything by itself. Do you have an alias that does it for you maybe? -- Jean Delvare Suse L3 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Unfortunately not:

~> alias cd bash: alias: cd: not found

~> env | grep CD CDPATH=.:~:/usr:/mnt

That was the culprit. Unsetting it did the trick. Will take the minor loss in convenience by jettisoning it.

Ah, I didn't know about this mechanism, thanks for the info ;)

Such a strong side effect should be documented in bash man file, or even better, fixed in code, me thinks.

Well, it works as designed as far as I can tell, so there's probably not much to fix at the bash level. The code that generates the Makefiles could be easily fixed though, by either unsetting CDPATH or redirecting the output of cd to /dev/null. -- Jean Delvare Suse L3 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

It's already there: cd [-L|-P] [dir] ... If a non- empty directory name from CDPATH is used, or if - is the first argument, and the directory change is successful, the absolute pathname of the new working directory is written to the standard output.
