probes.h can only be generated on Linux, and then only with dtrace installed. If it is part of the tarball, then either 'make dist' will fail if you don't have that setup, or we would have to start keeping probes.h in libvirt.git. Since we only need it to be generated when dtrace is in use, it's better to avoid shipping it in the first place, and avoid tracking it in git. Meanwhile, there is a build dependency - since the RPC code is generated, it can be built early; but when dtrace is enabled, we must ensure probes.h is built even earlier. Commit 1afcfbdd tried to fix this, but did so in a way that added probes.h into the tarball, and broke VPATH as well. Commit ecbca767 fixed VPATH, but didn't fix the more fundamental problem. This patch solves the issue by adding a dependency instead. Tested with 'make dist' in a clean VPATH builds, for both './configure --without-dtrace' and './configure --with-dtrace'; all configurations were able to correctly build a tarball, and the dtrace configuration no longer sticks probes.h in the tarball. * src/Makefile.am (REMOTE_DRIVER_GENERATED): Don't ship probes.h; rather, make it a dependency. --- Pushing under the build-breaker rule, since I reproduced a failure with './configure --without-dtrace && make dist' without this patch. src/Makefile.am | 9 +++------ 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/Makefile.am b/src/Makefile.am index 4c98397..93bf54c 100644 --- a/src/Makefile.am +++ b/src/Makefile.am @@ -202,11 +202,6 @@ REMOTE_DRIVER_GENERATED = \ $(srcdir)/remote/qemu_protocol.h \ $(srcdir)/remote/qemu_client_bodies.h -# The remote RPC driver needs probes.h -if WITH_DTRACE -REMOTE_DRIVER_GENERATED += probes.h -endif - REMOTE_PROTOCOL = $(srcdir)/remote/remote_protocol.x QEMU_PROTOCOL = $(srcdir)/remote/qemu_protocol.x REMOTE_DRIVER_PROTOCOL = $(REMOTE_PROTOCOL) $(QEMU_PROTOCOL) @@ -646,7 +641,6 @@ libvirt_driver_remote_la_LDFLAGS += -module -avoid-version endif libvirt_driver_remote_la_SOURCES = $(REMOTE_DRIVER_SOURCES) - $(srcdir)/remote/remote_driver.c: $(REMOTE_DRIVER_GENERATED) endif WITH_REMOTE @@ -1283,6 +1277,9 @@ if WITH_DTRACE libvirt_la_BUILT_LIBADD += probes.o libvirt_la_DEPENDENCIES += probes.o nodist_libvirt_la_SOURCES = probes.h +if WITH_REMOTE +$(REMOTE_DRIVER_GENERATED): probes.h +endif WITH_REMOTE BUILT_SOURCES += probes.h libvirt_probes.stp libvirt_functions.stp
