From: Chen Qi <Qi.Chen@windriver.com>

When the TMPDIR is very long, say, 410 characters, aclocal would
fail because the argument list is too long. This patch is an effort
to use relative path for acpaths whenever possible, aiming at
making the build system work correctly when the sanity check says OK.

With the current implementation of autoreconf, it's impossible to
thoroughly replace absolute path with relative path. Therefore, we
use relative path when there's on subdirectory to configure; otherwise,
we use absolute path.

Have you done a world build long path names with this patch on 1.4 and 
does it cause any failures with autoreconf and subdirs?

Sau!

Hi Saul,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I did do the test before I sent out the patch, but at that time I only 
used 'bitbake core-image-sato'.
However when I re-tested it yesterday with 'bitbake world', qt4-native 
configure failed.
(Sorry for my carelessness.)

The failure is not caused by the changes in autotools.bbclass.
It failed to configure because *the path is too long to be fitted into 
the static char array defined in its qconfig.cpp file*.

Below are some details:
src/corelib/global/qconfig.cpp:11:67: *error: initializer-string for 
array of chars is too long* [-fpermissive]
The statements in qconfig.cpp that caused this failure are:
static const char qt_configure_prefix_path_str       [*256* + 12] = 
"qt_prfxpath=/buildarea/qchen1/poky/build-autotools-test/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs\
/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/s\
ubs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs0/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr";
static const char qt_configure_documentation_path_str[*256* + 12] = 
"qt_docspath=/buildarea/qchen1/poky/build-autotools-test/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs\
/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/s\
ubs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs/subs0/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/doc";
...


Anyway it should be fixed as part of bug#2766 (long TMPDIR problem).
Thus, I'll rework on bug#2766 and try to fix it.

However, statements in qconfig.cpp lead me to doubt about the length 
limit of TMPDIR (currently 410).
As we see in qconfig.cpp, */if the TMPDIR has chars more than 256, it 
would fail for certain./*

*I think we should re-consider the length limit for TMPDIR.*


Thanks,
Chen Qi
