[oe] Error building classpath-initial

[Christopher Friedt]

Hi list,

I just joined the list to follow up on a common error that I
encountered a while ago, where building classpath-initial-0.93 failed,
saying

"libtool: link: unsupported hardcode properties".

I needed to get this compiled pretty desperately, so just grepping resulted in

aclocal.m4: hardcode_direct="$acl_cv_hardcode_direct"

I modified classpath-initial-0.93.bb, very simply appending the following:

do_configure()
{
    export acl_cv_hardcode_direct="no"
    export hardcode_direct="no"

    oe_runconf
}

And that built classpath-initial-0.93 without any errors. However, I
later on ran into the same error with classpath-native-0.97.2 and the
same fix did not work.

Please post a solution, if one ever surfaces.

Cheers,

Chris
