[Buildroot] Problem with apply-patches.sh

[Buildroot] Problem with apply-patches.sh

[Will Newton]

Hi all,

I noticed that in some cases apply-patches.sh will misbehave if you
have a file matching the glob '*.patch' in the top-level directory.
For example the patching of binutils fails in this case. The problem
is at the line:

    support/scripts/apply-patches.sh $(@D)
$($(PKG)_DIR_PREFIX)/$(RAWNAME)/$(NAMEVER) \*.patch \*.patch.$(ARCH)
|| exit 1;

in package/Makefile.package.in. The glob gets expanded prematurely (to
e.g. myfile.patch) and then the expanded glob is passed to
apply-patches.sh which will fail to find any patches matching the
glob. I've had a go at trying to stop this happening but with no
success so far. Can anyone think of any creative ways to suppress this
expansion?

Thanks,

I see what you mean but I can't reproduce your issue:

On my side the expansion is done only into apply-patches.sh but you are 
right it is done too early


I am going to send a patch to correct this.


Thanks to report this bug.

Hi Ludovic, thanks for the quick response!

Did you have a dummy patch file in the top-level? e.g.:

# cd buildroot
# touch mypatch.patch
# make

For me that causes the patch patterns passed to apply-patches.sh to
look like: mypatch.patch *.patch.arm. The arch specific glob in this
case does not match anything so it remains unexpanded.

Yes I did this, I have created an empty patch file.

I agree but I had no error. I didn't do the whole build so maybe I will 
encounter an issue later due to the "no-patched" binutils.

I don't think it will cause an obvious issue for most people - I
happen to have a patched binutils so that if the patch is missing
things go wrong quite obviously. I put an echo in the top of
apply-patches.sh and I was quite clearly seeing the glob had been
expanded by the time it was run (whilst building host-binutils).

For the record my make is 3.81 and bash is 4.1.2.

Still true with the patch I sent?

For me the glob was expanded here: scan_patchdir $patchdir $patchpattern

Ah yes, of course it was my echo that was expanding the glob! ;-)

Yes, I just tried your patch and it fixes the problem for me. Thanks!
