[Cgdb-devel] cgdb doesn't build outside of the source dir (patch attached)

[Ronald Landheer-C. <bly...@us...>]

Hello all,

While porting & packaging cgdb 0.3.3a and cgdb 0.3.4 for Cygwin, I ran into
a bug in the configury that makes it impossible to build cgdb outside of the
source directory. The attached patch fixes the problem.

The Cygwin port of cgdb is available via Setup.exe at http://rlc.unsane.co.uk/ 
(add the url to the mirror list in Setup.exe). Setup itself is, of course, 
available at http://cygwin.com/setup.exe

HTH

rlc

NB: though cgf has vetoed the cgdb package and it will thus not be added to the
    official Cygwin net distro, I'll be happy to maintain a Cygwin port living
    on http://rlc.unsane.co.uk/ anyway - if you're interested.

I previously forgot to attach the patch and the message I did attach it to 
is apparently too big.

The patch is available here:
10dc3f028ae852529d8e2aab9ef0e838 *cgdb-0.3.4-1.patch
http://rlc.unsane.co.uk/cgdb-0.3.4-1.patch

Hi Ronald,

Thanks for the great work! I am glad to see that CGDB is useful to
people running cygwin.

I was wondering about the patch you sent in.
Did you just regenerate the files using a new version of autoconf? Or
did you modify the files by hand?

I am wondering because if I apply the patch to CGDB, it will be lost
next time I reconfigure the files.

Re: [Cgdb-devel] cgdb doesn't build outside of the source dir (patch attached)

[Ronald Landheer-C. <bly...@us...>]

Some of the files are generated, but the useful (and non-transient) part of the
patch is in the Makefile.am files.
A patch of only those files is now available where the old one was:
58bd52d3df08977056b1d18dbe3cc7b7 *cgdb-0.3.4-1.patch
http://rlc.unsane.co.uk/cgdb-0.3.4-1.patch

The old patch also patches configure.in, but you might want to look at that
a bit closer, as I only simplified it a bit, and adapted it to by dev 
environment - there are no changes in it that you will really need.
(Sorry for the confusion)

Hi Ronald,

I added your server http://rlc.unsane.co.uk/ in the section "User URL:"
and  added it to the section labeled "Available Download Sites".  I then=20
selected it and then hit "next", I got the error

"Unable to get setup.ini from <http://rlc.unsame.co.uk/>"

Do you know whats wrong?

If that is really what it said, there's a typo in the URL.
Other than that, I just verified, the file is there and I can download it 
from setup.. so I have no idea what's wrong..

Perhaps you should try again later..?

Hi Ronald,

It appears you are right. It does work fine. My company firewall was
blocking your site for some reason. The worst part is, there is no error
from Setup.

Anyways, both me and a friend got to download and install it off of your
mirror. Thanks for the great work!

We are going to put the instructions on how to download it on
http://cgdb.sourceforge.net/
hopefully, people will find it useful.

Hi Ronald,

I am interested in releasing cgdb-0.4.0. I am ready to look at applying
the patch above.

The problem is, I wrote the Makefile.am's without really knowing
anything about autoconf/automake. I am seeing that you basically changed
top_srcdir with top_builddir. What's the difference? From the autoconf
page I see
top_srcdir: The relative path to the top-level source code directory for
the package.
top_builddir: The relative path to the top-level of the current build
tree.
I don't really know how this relates to cgdb or why you changed it.

I noticed that you also changed the noinst_bin_PROGRAMS and
noinst_bindir to noinst_PROGRAMS. This doesn't work so well for me since
programs no longer install into the cgdb/progs directory. What would you
recommend for this?

I applied your patch, and it builds in the tree properly. What is the
command that you were using to build out of the tree? I would like to
make sure they both work before I commit the patch.

Thanks,

Hi Ronald,

I am interested in releasing cgdb-0.4.0. I am ready to look at applying
the patch above.

The problem is, I wrote the Makefile.am's without really knowing
anything about autoconf/automake. I am seeing that you basically changed
top_srcdir with top_builddir. What's the difference? From the autoconf
page I see
top_srcdir: The relative path to the top-level source code directory for
the package.
top_builddir: The relative path to the top-level of the current build
tree.
I don't really know how this relates to cgdb or why you changed it.

I noticed that you also changed the noinst_bin_PROGRAMS and
noinst_bindir to noinst_PROGRAMS. This doesn't work so well for me since
programs no longer install into the cgdb/progs directory. What would you
recommend for this?

I applied your patch, and it builds in the tree properly. What is the
command that you were using to build out of the tree? I would like to
make sure they both work before I commit the patch.

Thanks,

If you want to do an out-of-directory build (i.e. ../cgdb-src/configure && make)
you need to point to the right directory - the one the files are actually in.
Out-of-directory builds especially work nicely with read-only source trees
and symlinked source trees. The latter is often used when creating patches 
relative to a read-only (already-released/canonical) source tree: you untar
the source tree, make it read-only, symlink-tree it (the script can be found
in the gcc sources and comes in really handy) and do an out-of-tree build
on the symlink tree. You can then run diff between the r/o source tree and 
the r/w symlink tree after you've made changes to the files in the symlink
tree (unlinking every file you change).

When I made the patch, I was working with an out-of-tree build, as is normal
for Cygwin packages, and as I normally do for my own builds for the reasons
described above..

AFAICT, you don't actually want to install those files (with make install) 
do you? If so, you can have them constructed in-place (with noinst_PROGRAMS)
and use the $(builddir) variable to find out where they are.

I don't quite remember what the problems were with the noinst_bindir setup,
but there was a reason why I removed it.. I'd have to try to find out. In 
any case, after removing it the build I did worked w/o any problems.

From the root of your work directory:
$ tar xzvf cgdb-version-src.tar.gz
$ mkdir cgdb-build
$ cd cgdb-build
$ ../cgdb-version/configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ make install DESTDIR=`pwd`/../cgdb-install

Ok, This is really neat. I didn't know people did this!

I do want to put all of the misc programs into 1 directory. If we could
figure out how to do that, that would be cool.

I tried this and noticed that the compiler couldn't find all of the
headers, ... maybe you patched some other stuff also, or my environment
is somehow different.

How important is it to you to apply this patch to CGDB before I release
=2E4.0? Could we settle these issues after the release?

That would basically mean you have another slightly broken release, but I
don't think that will make a real difference. If you want, if you set a
release tag on cgdb version 4.0 and give me write access to a Cygwin release
branch, I can do the necessary changes directly in CVS on the branch. 
My SF username is "blytkerchan".

Ok, I will set something up along these lines.=20

I'm about to start porting cgdb 0.4.0 to Cygwin. If you want me to work 
directly on a CVS branch, now would be a great time to set something along
these lines up :)
