[OE-core] [PATCH 2/2] intltool: remove broken XML::Parser detection

Ross Burton ross.burton at intel.com
Tue Jul 19 14:37:47 UTC 2016


intltool.m4 has a chunk of code that runs during configure which probes for a
perl binary and verifies that it has the XML::Parser module.  However in builds
using intltool-native the perl binary that it finds is likely to not be the one
that the intltool scripts will be using as the scripts hardcode nativeperl yet
the m4 fragment searches for "perl" in $PATH.  If the host perl doesn't have
XML::Parser the configure will fail, despite the fact that the scripts will
work.

Solve this by taking an old patch from the upstream bug system to simply remove
the check in intltool.m4 as it's generally useless, and remove existing patches
that almost but not quite solved this issue.

+Remove the perl checks in intltool.m4.  This can find a different perl binary to
+the one that the intltool scripts will actually be using (as they hard-code a
+specific binary), for example in the intltool-native case they'll be using
+nativeperl yet this fragment can find and test the host perl.
+
+This can result in recipes failing in do_configure as intltool.m4 finds a host
+perl which doesn't have XML::Parser installed, despite the fact that intltool
+will work fine as nativeperl has XML::Parser.
