Hi,

when building/installing fontconfig, you might find a problem with make trying
to call $(STAGING_DIR)/bin/sh. Of course it won't work.

Please find a fix as attachment.

Regards,

Lionel

Hmm, please make the patch as minimal as possible - E.G. the fix-makealias
patch has a bunch of noise because it removes trailing spaces.

I don't get what the problem is as the Makefile calls sh and not $PREFIX/bin/sh
- Is it because you have a sh for the target in $STAGING_DIR/bin and that
included in the path?

Yes, I have an $(STAGING_DIR)/bin/sh installed.

I have another patch that also fixed the problem of glib-genmarshall called
from the staging directory.

Ohh? Where does that come from - Bash? That sounds like a bug in the first
place

That's copied from the external toolchain.
Whatever is in the staging we shouldn't have that kind of problem.

I think we should remove the staging directory from the PATH variable, as none
of the binaries it contains can be executed on the host. If some package need
to execute one binary from another package, we should have this compiled for
the host.

I confirm that removing the staging dir from the PATH variable also fix the
problem. I going to close the bug as there is no problem related to fontconfig
but rather to the external toolchain usage.

Thx for helping.

The problem is the various *-config scripts, like sdl-config which get
installed by various packages and *SHOULD* get called instead of whatever is
present on the host.

I'm agree, but shouldn't we provides them from the $(HOST_DIR) ?

Well, it's not that simple. HOST_DIR is for stuff for the host, so a sdl-config
there would point to the host libraries, not the target ones. Also notice that
these scripts gets installed with make install of the packages, so we don't
have direct control over it. And finally don't forget the cross compiler which
also gets installed into STAGING_DIR together with the headers/libs, and people
expect to simply be able to add STAGING_DIR/usr/bin to their path and be good
to go.
