[Buildroot] [PATCH] graph-depends: fix when $(O) is a relative path

[Arnout Vandecappelle]

The graph-depends commands cd into the CONFIG_DIR and run the script
from there. However, this means that when $(O) is a relative path, it
will no longer be correct.  Therefore, use $(BASE_DIR) instead of $(O).

Tested with this sequence:
    cd buildroot
    make manual-html
    make O=../br.build-1 manual-html
    cd ..
    make -C buildroot O=../br.build-2 manual-html
    make -C buildroot O=$(pwd)/br.build-3
    mkdir br.build-4
    cd br.build-4
    make defconfig   (to create the Makefile wrapper)
    make manual-html

All generate the HTML manual, and a cursory look does not show any
diference.

 Call me stupid, but why is it relevant to test this patch with manual-html?

Err... Hmm... Well...

OK, back to the shell I am... ;-)

Sorry, sorry, sorry...

OK, these are still valid, but for other reasons!

Tested with the test-case by Arnout:
    make O=my-output defconfig
    make O=my-output graph-depends

plus another deviation from this test-case:
    make -C buildroot O=my-output defconfig
    make -C buildroot O=my-output graph-depends

[Buildroot] [PATCH] graph-depends: fix when $(O) is a relative path

[Yann E. MORIN]

Arnout, All,

On 2014-06-19 00:10 +0200, Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) spake thusly:
> The graph-depends commands cd into the CONFIG_DIR and run the script

Suddenly I realised that something must be wrong with this patch.
$(O) is always expected to be relative the buildroot tree, not the
current directory:
    http://nightly.buildroot.org/#_building_out_of_tree

    ---8<---
    Note: the O path can be either an absolute or a relative path, but
    if it?s passed as a relative path, it is important to note that it is
    interpreted relative to the main Buildroot source directory, not the
    current working directory.
    ---8<---

So I fail to see what case this patch is supposed to fix.

I tried with thisscript, and did not notice any difference between the
two runs, one with master, the second with the patch applied:

    #!/bin/sh
    set -e

    BR="${HOME}/cache/upstream/buildroot"
    rm -rf br*

    do_prep() {
        local dir="${1}"
        (
            git clone "${BR}" "${dir}"
            cd "${dir}"
            git pwam 361761   # Comment-out to use master
        )
    }

    echo '======== In-tree'
    do_prep br-1
    cd br-1
    make defconfig
    make graph-depends
    cd ..

    echo '======== Out-of-tree, called out of top-dir, relative'
    do_prep br-2
    mkdir br.build-2
    make -C br-2 O=../br.build-2 defconfig
    make -C br-2 O=../br.build-2 graph-depends

    echo '======== Out-of-tree, called from top-dir, relative'
    do_prep br-3
    mkdir br.build-3
    cd br-3
    make O=../br.build-3 defconfig
    make O=../br.build-3 graph-depends
    cd ..

    echo '======== Out-of-tree, called from O-dir, absolute'
    do_prep br-4
    mkdir br.build-4
    cd br.build-4
    make -C ../br-4 O=$(pwd) defconfig
    make graph-depends
    cd ..

    echo '======== Out-of-tree, called out of top-dir, absolute '
    do_prep br-5
    mkdir br.build-5
    make -C br-4 O=$(pwd)/br.build-5 defconfig
    make -C br-4 O=$(pwd)/br.build-5 graph-depends

    echo '======== Out-of-tree, called fromother dir, absolute-relative'
    do_prep br-6
    mkdir br.build-6.1
    mkdir br.build-6.2
    cd br.build-6.1
    make -C ../br-6 O=$(pwd)/../br.build-6.2 defconfig
    make -C ../br-6 O=$(pwd)/../br.build-6.2 graph-depends
    cd ..

In both cases (with or without the patch), cases 1, 3 and 4 succeed,
while cases 2, 5 and 6 fail.

What case(s) did I miss?

Yann E. MORIN.

 First of all, for me all these cases succeed both with and without the patch.

 Unfortunately, the example you took happens to work by accident:

$ make -n O=../br.build graph-depends
dot -? >/dev/null 2>&1 || \
        (echo "ERROR: The 'dot' program from Graphviz is needed for
graph-depends" >&2; exit 1)
/usr/bin/install -d ../br.build/graphs
cd "../br.build"; \
/home/arnout/src/buildroot/support/scripts/graph-depends  \
|tee ../br.build/graphs/graph-depends.dot \
|dot  -Tpdf -o ../br.build/graphs/graph-depends.pdf


 Since we cd into ../br.build and then resolve $(O) as ../br.build, it just
happens to be the same directory. Using any other combination of . and .. a $(O)
triggers the problem. So try

do_prep br-7
make -C br-7 O=./br.build-7 defconfig
make -C br-7 O=./br.build-7 graph-depends

 The graph-depends will fail with:

tee: br.build-7/graphs/graph-depends.dot: No such file or directory

You mean all the 6 cases do work for you? Weird.

I don't see how it can work, since calling this
    make -C buildroot O=somewhere goal

will not have the --no-print-directory option, and thus make would print
its usual "Entering/Leaving directory blabla" which confuses
graph-depends.py

There is not much we can do about that, since our out-of-tree Makefile
wrapper is never called.

Even worse, if you do
    make -C buildroot O=somewhere defconfig
    make -C somewhere graph-depends

then even though we do use our Makefile wrapper in this case, the
--no-print-directory option is not used! So make would still print its
"Entering/Leaving directory blabla" (and thus graph-depends will get
confused.)

OK, that's a use-case I was missing.

OK, it fails here, too, but your patch does not change anything: it
fails without your patch, and it fails with your patch applied.

I'm using make-3.81, if that shall be a differentiator.

 Oh sorry, I didn't look at the output, just that it doesn't error out.

 So why don't we just add --no-print-directory to the recursive make invocation
from the script? Patch follows...

 This one I didn't actually run like this, but like:

make O=br.build-7 defconfig
make O=br.build-7 graph-depends

(from the buildroot directory). For that one, I checked that the PDF was OK, and
then I just wrote it with -C in the mail. Stupid of me.

OK, no problem. ;-)

make does not error out, because of the pipe, which only returns the
status of the last command in the pipe. We can't do much about this...

Well, that's yet another test-case! :-)

OK, thanks for bearing with me all along! ;-)
