Hello,
The m68k buildd recently choked on the $here variable on this Makefile.
install-data-hook:
@here=`pwd`
cd $(DESTDIR)$(libdir);\
if test -f libmu_scm.so; then \
$(LN_S) -f libmu_scm.so libguile-mailutils-v-$(VERSION).so; \
fi; \
cd $$here
When I looked at it, I first wondered if it was needed at all, but I let
it be, thinking it was a buildd setup error.
Well, the m68k people filed a bug, and they think it's really a bug in
the Makefile. Stephen Marenka proposed this fix:
install-data-hook:
- @here=`pwd`
+ @here=`pwd`;\
cd $(DESTDIR)$(libdir);\
if test -f libmu_scm.so; then \
$(LN_S) -f libmu_scm.so libguile-mailutils-v-$(VERSION).so; \
But they also think the whole variable thing is completely unecessary,
as the stuff is executed in a subshell, and you'll go back to the
previous pwd when the clause finishes.
Is there a good reason for doing this?
Jordi
