RULES.db has incorrect dbExpand flags

[Jason Abernathy]

Hello!

I believe that the two lines

INSTALL_DBDFLAGS += -I $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/dbd
INSTALL_DBFLAGS += -I $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/db

should be

INSTALL_DBDFLAGS += -I $(INSTALL_DBD)
INSTALL_DBFLAGS += -I $(INSTALL_DB)

to sync with any overrides.

Thanks

Hi Jason,

Are you setting INSTALL_DBD and/or INSTALL_DB yourself without setting INSTALL_LOCATION? If you just set INSTALL_LOCATION the INSTALL_DBD and INSTALL_DB values will adjust automatically since they are what Make calls "recursively expanded" variables whose values are not computed until used.

I think your change is probably right (I'll check with Janet who maintains the build system), but if you're trying to alter the EPICS installation layout you'll have to make quite a few other incompatible changes elsewhere as well.

Hi Andrew,

"Are you setting INSTALL_DBD and/or INSTALL_DB yourself without setting INSTALL_LOCATION?"

Nope! I'm setting them individually in a Debian packaging script:

INSTALL_LOCATION=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp
INSTALL_LOCATION_BIN=$(INSTALL_LOCATION)/usr/bin
INSTALL_LOCATION_LIB=$(INSTALL_LOCATION)/usr/lib
INSTALL_HOST_BIN=$(INSTALL_LOCATION)/usr/bin
INSTALL_HOST_LIB=$(INSTALL_LOCATION)/usr/lib
INSTALL_INCLUDE = $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/usr/include/synapps
INSTALL_BIN = $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/usr/bin
INSTALL_LIB = $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/usr/lib
INSTALL_SHRLIB = $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)
INSTALL_DBD = $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/usr/share/epics/dbd
INSTALL_DB = $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/usr/share/epics/db

I noticed a problem when some support modules in synapps were unable to find their dbd files. After making the change it compiled with no problem.

I realize that I've removed the host and target architecture variables. This was just to make the packaging scripts simpler. If I ever compile for multiple target architectures then I'll have to re-add them. :)

Cheers,
