[PATCH] Makedoc.sh uses home /tmp and fails is noexec is set

[PATCH] Makedoc.sh uses home /tmp and fails is noexec is set

[Konrad Scherer]

From: Konrad Scherer <Konrad.Scherer@windriver.com>

The Makedoc.sh script uses the following line to set TMPDIR

export TMPDIR=`mktemp -d ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ldt.XXXXXXXXXX`;

and then later in the script:

chmod u+x $TMPDIR/linuxdoc

Since TMPDIR is not set the script will default to /tmp and if /tmp
is set to noexec (which is becoming more common), the chmod call fails.

This actually breaks the builds pretty badly. The fact the image
directory is empty after the above change is a bad sign. The reason is
that it needs to be:

oe_runmake "TMPDIR=${T}" "DESTDIR=${D}" install

If you don't specify DESTDIR, the files in the sysroot disappear and you
get strange errors from recipes like libuser. 

Cheers,
