From 22ac874512c2c1213aae8e1644bd59050b37a63c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Yang Date: Sun, 15 Sep 2013 09:13:12 +0000 Subject: coreutils: set acpaths to avoid "Argument list too long" error There would be an error when the TMPDIR is long/deep, for example when len(TMPDIR) = 350 while our supported longest value is 410: [snip] aclocal: error: cannot open xxx autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 ERROR: autoreconf execution failed. [snip] Let aclocal use the relative path for the m4 file rather than the absolute would fix the problem. Another fix is that we can modify autotools.bbclass to let it use the relative path rather than the absolute, but I don't think that we have to do that based on the following 2 thoughts: * The coreutils is the only recipe which has this issue as far as we know when len(TMPDIR) <= 410, because it has the most amount of m4 files (more than 400 ones). * That would impact all the recipes which use autotools.bbclass, and we are not sure about the side effect, for example, it would break the build there is a sub-configure.
