autoconf: update runtime perl module dependencies

2018-08-21T13:49:34+00:00

Test in SDK was failing to execute:

$ autoreconf --install --force

due to missing perl modules. Add the needed perl modules
for target build:

perl-module-bytes
perl-module-thread-queue
perl-module-threads

Duplicate the perl module dependencies for SDK as well.

Now autoreconf runs with a trivial example.

autoconf: Override config.guess/.sub in source tree

2017-12-18T18:00:23+00:00

autoconf has not been released in a number of years. However many
changes have been made to the gnu-config config.guess/.sub since 2.69,
including new architectures, OS variants, etc. In order to enable these
targets without creating patches for the source itself populate the
gnu-config files from the sysroot as is done with autotools recipes.
Whilst it is not possible for the autoconf recipe to bootstrap its
configure task (using the autotools_do_configure), the files can be
manually copied into the target location.

autoconf: Adjust shebang lines to remove interpreter path hardcode

2017-04-01T07:22:04+00:00

If build host perl (and other tools) is old and we use some kind
of toolchain to provide recent perl/python/etc to the OE build
we still locked to use build host perl due to hardcoded shebang
lines in autoconf scripts.

Behaviour was observed with Enterprise Linux 6 and devtoolset
toolchain from SCL (Software Collections) used to provide recent
version of perl (not provided with default buildtools-tarball).

Pass /usr/bin/env perl in ac_cv_path_PERL configuration variables
for class-native and class-nativesdk. Use patch to autoconf to replace
-w option in shebang line with modern way to enable warnings on perl
(i.e. "use warnings").

Also add nativesdk-m4 and nativesdk-gnu-config to RDEPENDS to bring
runtime dependencies inline with other targets.

Note that ac_cv_path_PERL must be valid perl interpreter path
since configure will check perl version and Flock implementation.
It is not possible currently to use nativeperl from native
sysroot because autoconf does not DEPENDS on perl-native (and
doing so fails due to circular dependencies). Only possible
solution is to overwrite shebangs with nativeperl somewhere at
do_install() and update RDEPENDS for class-native. Or add perl
symlinks to nativeperl in sysroot.

For now it seems good to use perl found by /usr/bin/env from
autoconf-native.

autoconf: add missing perl-module-file-find to RDEPENDS

2016-01-13T00:12:42+00:00

The autoscan script uses the File.pm module which was missing in the
list of RDEPENDS. This caused autoscan to fail with

  % autoscan
  [...]
  Can't locate File/Find.pm in @INC [...]

autoconf: Disable macro which causes excessive delays when using dash as sh

2015-12-14T15:13:50+00:00

At the start of every configure script, the check for solaris 'print' causes
significant problems on a linux machine with dash as /bin/sh since it triggers
the execution of "print" which on some linux systems is a perl script which is
part of mailcap. Worse, this perl script calls "which file" and if successful
ignores the path file was found in and just runs "file" without a path. Each
execution causes PATH to be searched. In something like gettext with multiple
configure scripts, this is worth something like 30,000 syscalls of which 3,000
are execs.

Simply assuming the shell's printf function works cuts out all the fork overhead
and when parallel tasks are running, this overhead appears to be significant.

autoconf: simplify perl location forcing logic

2015-05-15T16:58:39+00:00

Instead of letting configure find the host's perl and then use a complicated sed
to replace it at install time, simply pre-seed the configure logic with the path
we want to use.
