By default, libtool builds two .o files for every .lo rule: src/foo.o - static builds src/.libs/foo.o - shared library builds But since commit ad42b34b disabled static builds, src/foo.o is no longer built by default. On a fresh checkout, this means our protocol check rules using pdwtags were testing a missing file, and thanks a lousy behavior of pdwtags happily giving no output and 0 exit status (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/949034), we were merely claiming that "dwarves is too old" and skipping the test. However, if you swap between branches and do incremental builds, such as building v0.10.2-maint and then switching back to master, you end up with src/foo.o being leftover from its 0.10.2 state, and then 'make check' fails because the .o file does not match the protocol-structs file due to API additions in the meantime. A simpler fix would be to always look in .libs for the .o to be parsed; but since it is possible to pass ./configure options to tell libtool to do a static-only build with no shared .o, I went with the approach of finding the newest of the two files, whenever both exist. * src/Makefile.am (PDWTAGS): Ensure we test just-built file. --- Pushing under the build-breaker rule. src/Makefile.am | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/Makefile.am b/src/Makefile.am index 78b4ab6..5dc58f9 100644 --- a/src/Makefile.am +++ b/src/Makefile.am @@ -341,9 +341,16 @@ r1 = /\* \d+ \*/ r2 = /\* <[[:xdigit:]]+> \S+:\d+ \*/ struct_prefix = (remote_|qemu_|lxc_|virNet|keepalive_) +# Depending on configure options, libtool creates one or both of +# {,.libs/}libvirt_remote_driver_la-remote_protocol.o.
