Commit Message

Jan Stancek March 20, 2019, 10:07 a.m. UTC
Petr reported that out-of-tree builds are sporadically failing:
  make[4]: Entering directory '/usr/src/ltp-build/testcases/kernel/syscalls/set_mempolicy'
  make -C "/usr/src/ltp-build/libs/libltpnuma" -f "/usr/src/ltp-build/libs/libltpnuma/Makefile" all
  make[5]: Entering directory '/usr/src/ltp-build/libs/libltpnuma'
  make[5]: /usr/src/ltp-build/libs/libltpnuma/Makefile: No such file or directory
  make[5]: *** No rule to make target '/usr/src/ltp-build/libs/libltpnuma/Makefile'.  Stop.

It can be triggered reliably by:
    make -C $(pwd)/../ltp-build/testcases/kernel/syscalls/set_mempolicy/ \
    -f $(pwd)/testcases/kernel/syscalls/set_mempolicy/Makefile \
    top_srcdir=$(pwd) top_builddir=$(pwd)/../ltp-build

This happens when libltpnuma is pulled in as dependency and it's not built yet.
Make rules construct path for Makefile based on abs_top_builddir rather
than abs_top_srcdir:
  $(LTPLIBS_FILES): $(LTPLIBS_DIRS)
          $(MAKE) -C "$^" -f "$^/Makefile" all

Fix that by making LTPLIBS_DIRS relative, and add top_{build/src}dir
prefix where appropriate. This also moves LTPLIBS_DIRS mkdir target
into 'ifdef LTPLIBS' block.

The problem here is that unless the paths in LTPLIBS_DIRS match existing
files the mkdir -p is executed every time LTPLIBS is defined in
Makefile. I guess that we can put the absolute paths back to the
LTPLIBS_DIRS variable and use $(subst ..) to replace the builddir with
srcdir but I wonder if there is a better solution.

	I don’t think this isn’t the right way. Memory serves me correctly (it’s been almost a decade), the glue code in …/Makefile is incorrect. This is where the directory needs to be created.
	Let me try implementing a fix.

Any progress on this, please?
