llvm dev - Feb 2008 - [LLVMdev] semicolon breaking builds on llvm-gcc4.2 cygwin build for arm target 2.2prerelease2

Since we are fast approaching the 10th, I thought it appropriate to report
this "bug" with the build despite not having worked around it.
Build environment is

*Summary:*

When building llvm-gcc with a arm-apple-darwin target on i686-pc-cygwin,
make fails because child calls to configure have an errant semicolon that
causes the --srcdir parameter to be ignored by the configure script.  This
causes the builds in the host-i686-pc-cygwin directory to fail
unnecessarily.

Removing said semicolon from the configure calls and running 'make'
manually
succeeds.

*Configure Parameters for **llvm-gcc:*

(from /cygdrive/e/llvm-gcc4.2-2.2.source/config.status)

config.status:# ./configure   --enable-llvm=/cygdrive/e/llvm-2.2--target=arm-ap
ple-darwin --enable-sjlj-exceptions
--with-heavenly=/usr/local/share/iphone-file
system --with-gcc=/usr/bin/gcc --program-prefix=arm-apple-darwin
--with-as=/usr/
local/bin/llvm-as --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/llvm-ld
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc
,obj-c++

*Root Cause?:*

I believe this problem is caused by --srcdir appearing after the
program_transform_name substitutions.
This problem was likely introduced within this change

+if test "$program_transform_name" = s,x,x,; then

Update configure scripts to build the Apple Way

*Fix:*

To maintain computability with the 'Apple way of building', while also
enabling compatability for Apple platforms, I suggest moving the }
${ml_srcdiroption} options prior to the ${ac_configure_args} when generating
calls to ./configure from 'make'

*Closing Comments:*

I've yet to complete an entire build, but wanted to report this bug now in
case the llvm-gcc team would like to address this problem on Cygwin builds
prior to the release.  It seems easy enough to fix.

I will report back further after I complete the build, and may also install
these sources on a clean install of Cygwin to see if I can reproduce the
problem.  It appears this bug can be corrected rather easily by moving
--srcdir as I have suggested.

*Problem Description*

For each host- subdir, the --srcdir parameter follows a semicolon, which to
my bash shell means that --srcdir is a second command to execute, rather
than a parameter to the configure.

I believe this problem would be mitigated by --srcdir appearing before
--program-transform-name in the generated invocations of configure.

It might to be related these lines in the top level configure which contain
said semicolon:


   - if test "$program_transform_name" = s,x,x,; then
   -   program_transform_name="*s,^,${program_prefix},; *
   $program_transform_name"
   -  
program_transform_name="*s,\$\$,${program_suffix},;*$program_transform_name"



Here is an example from *config.log * for* llvm-gcc4.2-2.2.source/**
host-i686-pc-cygwin/gcc* (fixincludes, libiberty and intl already were
'fixed' per my 'solution')

$ grep configure config.log |head -3
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
It was created by configure, which was
  $ /cygdrive/e/llvm-gcc4.2-2.2.source/gcc/configure
--cache-file=./config.cac
 --build=i686-pc-cygwin --host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=arm-apple-darwin
--enab
-llvm=/cygdrive/e/llvm-2.2 --enable-sjlj-exceptions --with-gcc=/usr/bin/gcc
--with-as=/usr/local/bin/llvm-as --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/llvm-ld
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++
--program-transform-name=s,^,arm-apple-darwin,;  --srcdir=../.././gcc

Its an easy fix to get these to compile, though:

   - cd host-i686-pc-cygwin/gcc/
   - grep configure config.log|head -3|tail -1 | perl -pe
   's/\;//;s/^\s+\$//;' > newonfig.sh
   - bash newconfig.sh
   - make

$ cat newconfig.sh
 /cygdrive/e/llvm-gcc4.2-2.2.source/gcc/configure
--cache-file=./config.cache --

Below is the first top-level error generated by 'make' after configure
(for
fixincludes) This sort of error is generated for each subdirectory target
under ./llvm-gcc4.2-2.2.source/host-i686-pc-cygwin.  Each time I get the
error, I can correct the invocation of configure and build  using the Perl
rewrite appearing above.
