autoconf: upgrade to 2.71

2021-02-07T22:26:42+00:00

After too many years, autoconf has made a new release. On the whole it is compatible with previous releases, but some macros are more specific about what they expose so minor tweaks to configure.ac may be required. autoconf also now invokes intltoolize, gtkdocize, and copies config.sub/guess, so there is less work for autotools.bbclass to do. - AC_HEADER_MAJOR-port-to-glibc-2.25.patch - add_musl_config.patch - autoconf-replace-w-option-in-shebangs-with-modern-use-warnings.patch - autoreconf-gnuconfigize.patch - check-automake-cross-warning.patch - config_site.patch - fix_path_xtra.patch - performance.patch Drop a number of patches which have been integrated upstream. - man-host-perl.patch Don't use the target perl path when building documentation at build time: - no-man.patch Don't build documentation in native builds to avoid further build dependencies.

autoconf: merge .bb and .inc files

2021-02-07T22:26:42+00:00

These files are split for historical reasons, so merge them to make maintaining them easier. The bb and inc had differing LICENSE assignments. Current autoconf is GPLv3+. (From OE-Core rev: 192f635fa6964213e771c0b1443b2c15863b3d57) Signed-off-by: Ross Burton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

autoconf: consolidate SRC_URI

2020-09-05T21:19:19+00:00

There's no point splitting SRC_URI between the .inc and the .bb when there's just one recipe and the splitting appeared to be arbitrary. (From OE-Core rev: f627fa2992420c09e57376fbba62d545512c19f2) Signed-off-by: Ross Burton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

autoconf: Adjust shebang lines to remove interpreter path hardcode

2017-04-01T22:28:20+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: 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.
