[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] configure: preserve various environment variables i


From: Daniel P. Berrange
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] configure: preserve various environment variables in config.status
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:59:45 +0000

The config.status script is auto-generated by configure upon
completion. The intention is that config.status can be later
invoked by the developer to re-detect the same environment
that configure originally used. The current config.status
script, however, only contains a record of the command line
arguments to configure. Various environment variables have
an effect on what configure will find. In particular the
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR & PKG_CONFIG_PATH vars will affect what
libraries pkg-config finds. The PATH var will affect what
toolchain binaries and XXXX-config scripts are found. The
LD_LIBRARY_PATH var will affect what libraries are found.
All these key env variables should be recorded in the
config.status script.

Open question: are there more env vars we should preserve ?
