Building and installing glibc leaves .mo files (compiled message
translations) behind in the source directory. Building those files in
the source directory may once have made sense, if they were included
in release tarballs; now that release tarballs are just the output of
"git archive", building any non-checked-in files in the source
directory does not make sense. This patch changes these files to be
built in the build directory instead. The realclean rule is changed
to simply adding the .mo files to the "generated" variable, since once
the files are in the build directory it make no sense to exclude them
from normal cleanup rules.
This is necessary but not sufficient to avoid build-many-glibcs.py
needing to copy the glibc source directory. Its list of files to
touch on checkout to avoid subsequent regeneration (configure,
preconfigure, *-kw.h) is incomplete (missing at least INSTALL,
sysdeps/gnu/errlist.c, posix/testcases.h, posix/ptestcases.h,
locale/C-translit.h, (only regenerated for Hurd builds)
sysdeps/mach/hurd/bits/errno.h, (only regenerated for 32-bit SPARC
builds) sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/{sdiv,udiv,rem,urem}.S) - the existing
list may be sufficient to prevent regeneration that actually changes
the file contents depending on the installed build tools, but not to
ensure there is no regeneration at all - and there might well be other
things writing into the source directory in the course of building and
testing (so needing appropriate testing with read-only source
directories with different timestamp orderings to find and eliminate
all such cases).
Tested for x86_64.
[BZ #14121]
* po/Makefile (generated): Add $(ALL_LINGUAS:%=%.mo).
(%.mo): Change to $(objpfx)%.mo. Use $(make-target-directory).
($(mo-installed)): Use $(objpfx)%.mo.
(realclean): Remove rule.
This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be incorporated into an official GNU C Library release. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches. i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu tilegx-*-linux-gnu tilepro-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
