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

2015-12-14T22:30:56+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: remove automake patch enforcing --foreign

2014-07-29T08:58:26+00:00

Since 2004 we've been carrying a patch[1] make autoreconf pass --foreign to automake. Presumably at the time this was due to many upstreams using hand-coded bootstrap scripts that passed --foreign manually, but we were using autoreconf. These days many projects have added foreign to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and use autoreconf directly, so this patch isn't as critical as it used to be.

autoconf: don't disable the autoheader warnings

2014-06-06T08:26:39+00:00

The usual autoheader warning is due to AC_DEFINE variables not having a description. This results in no variable being defined in config.h, which leads to code behaving as if the test failed when it actually succeeded. This patch was introduced to OpenEmbedded back in 2004: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded/commit/?id=5eab06d132cb2895fd579f5cedffbb54c27794f8 There is no rationale for the patch so I suspect this is due to the warnings being fatal and the submitter not understanding that the problem is more than cosmetic.

autoconf: Add fix for sh verses bash issues

2013-09-24T16:24:13+00:00

Libtool scripts were finding bash was /bin/sh and then using bashisms which then got into sstate and used on machines where /bin/sh might be dash. This changes things to search for bash first since its preferred. We then hardcode bash into the scripts which is more correct. This does mean we have a dependency on bash but many of our scripts have that anyway. (From OE-Core rev: 367a19aaf31bcf997f10d045e7954cc800189052) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
