Re: Issue with RULES_BUILD of seq 2.2.9

Hi,

Once you use INSTALL_LOCATION for any other packages, you will not get the source code in that location. You only see header files, compiled libs, and so on.

What you only need is to execute

echo "INSTALL_LOCATION:=$(INSTALL_LOCATION_SNCSEQ)" > configure/CONFIG_SITE.local

If you want to keep source codes, you can add several workflows in your internal build tool to copy all source codes into that location.

Best,

Han

Hello all!

I recently tried to upgrade our seq package in our internal build tool
from seq 2.2.6 to seq 2.2.9, and came across an issue.

If I understood correctly, the 2.2.9 version introduces a more modern
RULES_SNCSEQ, which gets installed through CFG, and the old RULES_BUILD
sources the new RULES_SNCSEQ for backwards compatibility.

The way that I'm building it, is by using INSTALL_LOCATION to install
seq in a separate directory, and then drop the original source code.

The issue that I have is that RULES_BUILD and RULES_SNCSEQ are both in
configure/ in the source code, but in the target directory, RULES_BUILD
gets installed in the target configure/, but RULES_SNCSEQ gets
installed under cfg/.

The way RULES_BUILD tries to include RULES_SNCSEQ is by including in
the same directory, which is not the case when using INSTALL_LOCATION.

My current ugly workaround is to have this in RULES_BUILD:

-include $(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)))/RULES_SNCSEQ
-include $(TOP)/cfg/RULES_SNCSEQ

Which is not optimal since it will silently do nothing if no file is
found.

If I try to always include it from cfg/, the build of seq fails to find
the file, as it does not get installed early enough.

Is it possible to place RULES_SNCSEQ directly under cfg/ in the
upstream source?

Kind regards
