Description: While do buildpaths QA checking, some files (such as Makefile) has build path is reasonable, and we do not want the QA warning/error output fot this file, so provide a way to ignore the checking. Design: Add variable QA_BUILDPATHS_SKIP_PATTERN to ignore buildpaths QA while filename (do not include directory) matches patterns, the patterns are Unix shell style and separated by space. Patterns are Unix shell style: * matches everything ? matches any single character [seq] matches any character in seq [!seq] matches any char not in seq
I'm not convinced this is a good idea, we shouldn't ever be installing build paths into the target? The Makefile should be being processed to translate these to target paths?
Hi Richard, Yes, I once tried to analyse 10+ recipes' Makefile which has build path in it, and hope to find one way/solution to process these Makefiles to remove build path, but it's hard to do it, always has Makefile exceptional. If we choose to fix each Makefile manually, it costs a lot of time. And the Makefile usually installed to ptest package, the influence is not big, that's why the buildpaths QA ignore pattern with Makefile by default. I once tried to ignore ptest package, but dropped by myself, it has potential risk in ptest package if build paths exist in .a/.so If you decide to process Makefile rather than ignore it, I will work on it when other build path issues fixed. But I suggest we keep the ignore pattern, because I found some build path could not be remove (I will file another bug to trace the issue) Suggestions? Thanks Hongxu
As Richard suggested, we do not add buildpaths QA ignore pattern. In order to process the Makefile file with common solution, add a bbclass to do that. In fix_buildpaths.bbclass 1. It define variable PACKAGE_BUILDPATH_FILES which lists files that have --sysroot and -fdebug-prefix-map. If package has files need to remove --sysroot and -fdebug-prefix-map, inherit the bbclass and assign variable PACKAGE_BUILDPATH_FILES. These options will be removed at do_package time. 2. TODO
Update description: 1. Define variable PACKAGE_BUILDPATH_FILES to list files that have build paths and need to remove. 2. Define variable PACKAGE_BUILDPATH_PATTERNS to list build path patterns, which used by sed, it removes --sysroot and -fdebug-prefix-map in files listed in PACKAGE_BUILDPATH_FILES by default. 3. Define python function to remove --sysroot and -fdebug-prefix-map in variable.
Rejected by community, I think it is not a good idea. So directly close it with won't fix
