Trying to build updated jq package, get cygautoreconf directory creation and
existence bugs.
Cygport dies processing AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS([modules/oniguruma]) under two
levels of AS_IF (which handle existence of oniguruma library module or
libonig-devel at default or custom locations with or without configure
scripts in configure.ac) with:
Could not find modules/oniguruma/configure.ac or modules/oniguruma/configure.in
I'm not able to reproduce this problem.
Can you provide the jq.cygport you are using.
Also, can you be clear as to whether you have libonig-devel installed or not?
Attached jq.cygport.
As the cygport debug prep make log shows, libonig-devel is in
DEPEND/BUILD_REQUIRES and installed.
Installed cygport is latest available 0.36.6-1.
With the attached cygautoreconf patch applied, it builds.
Thanks.
So, I think the ultimate cause of the error is that you changed the SRC_URI from
that for "a file uploaded for this release" (an archive presumably generated by
'make dist' or equivalent) to "an archive automatic generated from git at the tag".
The later is (for obvious reasons) missing the files for git submodules, in this
case modules/oniguruma.
Your proposed fix is effectively making the existence of the directories named
in AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS optional. I'm not sure that's correct or warranted.
Hi Jon,
The previous maintainers have been inactive for 5 years, so they have started a
new org, working on a new release, and announced rc1, so I am working with them
to resolve a test failure, prior to posting a Cygwin ITA.
https://github.com/jqlang/jq/releases
I just noticed that they have now posted a newer prerelease "rc1"!
I can look at those contents later to see if they include the module, and that
issue is resolved.
That leaves the second part of your patch. I'm not sure if you're claiming this
is the same problem, a similar problem, or a different problem.
That adds cygport cygautoreconf support for a newer AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS macro
to existing support for the older AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR macro.
Anyhow, out of time for staring at the wall of words for today, I'll have to
look at that again later...
