| alkisg | Hi, I want to include some file called "someconfig.in" in my package, which will contain a line like "my arch is @ARCH@", and the @ARCH@ will be replaced with the compile-time architecture. | 14:39 |
|---|---|---|
| alkisg | The rest of the package files are in shell or python, nothing gets compiled so we're not using autotools etc yet | 14:40 |
| alkisg | Where should I look? What part processes .in files? Is that autotools? | 14:40 |
| sney | that is | 14:40 |
| alkisg | Thanks, googling... :) | 14:41 |
| geser | are you wanting to include this upstream or only in your packaging? | 14:42 |
| alkisg | I'm both upstream and packager, so I guess it would be better to include it upstream | 14:43 |
| alkisg | Would a simple makefile be enough, since I only want that one simple thing? | 14:43 |
| alkisg | With some sed expression inside to replace ARCH? | 14:43 |
| geser | yes | 14:43 |
| Rhonda | Laney: uploaded for utopic, not yet for trusty, it's pending for when I don't need the bandwidth. :) | 15:00 |
| psusi | how do you slap bzr upside the head and get it to stop unapplying quilt patches all the time? I can find nothing about bzr and quilt in the documentation or web. | 15:12 |
| * alkisg can't find an $ARCH variable in Makefiles... | 15:35 | |
| alkisg | If I have to find it myself with shell, dpkg --print-architecture etc, then why would I use make instead of a plain #!/bin/sh file? | 15:35 |
| geser | it's up to you if you use a Makefile for the sed call or use a shell script to do the same | 15:38 |
| alkisg | geser: not for the sed call, but for detecting the build architecture | 15:39 |
| alkisg | E.g. amd64 in debian vs x86_64 in other distros | 15:40 |
| alkisg | I wouldn't want to use distro-specific code there, would I? | 15:40 |
| alkisg | In some distributions I would see it with `uname -m`, in debian-based distros with `dpkg --print-architecture`, but it sounds like a very common problem, I would assume a more elegant solution would be available... | 15:41 |
| alkisg | Oh well, if we're going to have distro-specific code anyway to detect the target arch, we can just leave the `sed /s/@ARCH@/$ARCH/` part up to the packaging process... | 16:55 |
