More than just _bootstrap_tools_links entries end up in ${WORLDTMP}/legacy/bin/ (so in ${WORLDTMP}/legacy/sbin/ via the symbolic link pointing to ${WORLDTMP}/legacy/bin/ ). So: yes. Also, OBJTOP is not constant over all the parts of buildworld buildkernel . Having the late-substitution form of notation ${OBJTOP} might not be appropriate for the content of .MAKE.META.IGNORE_PATHS . I'm trying to figure out if there is a stable way of getting a path that would not suffer variability via late substitution.=20 > Otherwise you could simply use >=20 > .MAKE.META.IGNORE_PATHS+=3D ${OBJTOP}/tmp/ (Ignoring the variability of OBJTOP issue . . .) I do not expect that would work: ignoring things it likely should not. Also, I'd rather grow a smaller set of ignores gradually to make it easier to detect if an addition starts causing a problem and can be backed out. Starting with everything ignored would make things much harder to figure out when ignoring creates a problem. > You might need ${OBJTOP:tA}/tmp/ > or both. >=20 >> .MAKE.META.IGNORE_PATHS+=3D = ${OBJTOP}/tmp/legacy/usr/sbin/${ignore_legacy_tool} >> .endfor >> .for ignore_other_tool in ctfconvert objcopy nm >> .MAKE.META.IGNORE_PATHS+=3D = ${OBJTOP}/tmp/usr/bin/${ignore_other_tool} >> .endfor >>=20 >> in what I use for make.conf via: >>=20 >> __MAKE_CONF=3D/usr/home/root/src.configs/make.conf >>=20 >> It is using paths that match the -dM output lines ( sbin >> use despite sbin -> ../bin being a symbolic link). >>=20 >> Note: WORLDTMP is not defined that early, thus the ${OBJTOP}/tmp >> use. >>=20 >> -V.MAKE.META.IGNORE_PATHS is showing the paths I would >> expect, matching the -dM lines. >=20 > Do you have example? > I really need to add some unit-tests for these... You may want to wait while I see if I can come up with a better example context to show things. I only just noticed the late-substitution potential issue and started looking for a way to avoid it, for example. (Either a value that does not vary or a form of causing up-front substitutions in my make.conf .) =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
