[ptxdist] BUG: problem with barebox build: barebox_partitions.config

["Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult" <lkml@metux.net>]

Hi folks,

I've stumpled across a really strange problem on building barebox build
(distrokit):


make: Entering directory
'/home/nekrad/src/dk/DistroKit/local_src/barebox.x86_64'
make -C
/home/nekrad/src/dk/DistroKit/platform-x86_64/build-target/barebox-2020.09.0-build

make[1]: Entering directory

if [ -f /home/nekrad/src/dk/DistroKit/local_src/barebox.x86_64/.config -o \
	 -d
/home/nekrad/src/dk/DistroKit/local_src/barebox.x86_64/include/config -o \
	 -d
/home/nekrad/src/dk/DistroKit/local_src/barebox.x86_64/arch/x86/include/generated
]; then \
	echo >&2 "***"; \
	echo >&2 "*** The source tree is not clean, please run 'make ARCH=x86
mrproper'"; \
	echo >&2 "*** in /home/nekrad/src/dk/DistroKit/local_src/barebox.x86_64";\
	echo >&2 "***"; \
	false; \
fi
make -f
/home/nekrad/src/dk/DistroKit/local_src/barebox.x86_64/scripts/Makefile.build
obj=scripts/basic
ln -fsn /home/nekrad/src/dk/DistroKit/local_src/barebox.x86_64 source
/bin/bash
/home/nekrad/src/dk/DistroKit/local_src/barebox.x86_64/scripts/mkmakefile /home/nekrad/src/dk/DistroKit/local_src/barebox.x86_64
  GEN     Makefile
test -e .gitignore || \
{ echo "# this is build directory, ignore it"; echo "*"; } > .gitignore

Further debugging turned out it's trying to rebuild


/opt/ptxdist/lib/ptxdist-2020.09.0/config/images/barebox_partitions.config

via world/kconfig call, which obviously should never happen.
The call is done from .../rules/barebox.make.

> barebox_%config: $(STATEDIR)/barebox.extract

This line makes the barebox_partitions.config file (coming from ptxdist
itself) dependent on the source extraction state file. Adding an
explicit no-op rule for that specific file (hardcoded full pathname)
makes the problem go away.

I'm not quite sure how this rule really supposed to wor, but it looks
like the pattern is too wide.

Any suggestion how to fix that in a clean way ?


thx
