[OE-core] [PATCH v3] glibc: 'yes' within the path sets wrong variables

Thu Mar 5 08:17:37 UTC 2015


The AC_EGREP_CPP macro is looking for a 'yes' string that is likely
to be found in the path where the file is stored. This false positive
match causes variables to be mistakenly set.

The fix is to use a more elaborated string instead.

This has to be done at the configure and the configure.ac files, because
a reconfigure does not happen in the regular build flow.

+'yes' within the path sets wrong config variables
+
+It seems that the 'AC_EGREP_CPP(yes...' example is quite popular
+but being such a short word to grep it is likely to produce
+false-positive matches with the path it is configured into.
+
+The change is to use a more elaborated string to grep for.
