couple of days.

Can you provide more detail on where this is originating from, i.e. which
Makefile is generating this error?

The error implies that MODULE_TOPDIR isn't being set.

I can't seem to reproduce the second error, meaning probably my error.

Sorry Glynn, I had rolled back to an earlier version and that is why the
demolocation error seemed fixed. In fact the patch had no effect, the
error is still present.

This should be fixed in r37808.

Comment:

Hi,

I can reproduce something similar on amd64 Linux with r37899.
(pretty new Debian/Lenny)

the problem seems to be that the system type is not detected properly
("unknown" or ""), and build dirs end up called bin./ and dist./.

there is: "config.status.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"

for releasebranch_6_4 on the same machine I get: bin.x86_64-unknown-linux-
gnu/ and dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/ and it builds ok.

error is:
{{{
[...]grass/svn/trunk/dist./bin/db.login --html-description < /dev/null |
grep -v '</body>\|</html>' > db.login.tmp.html ; fi
access: No such file or directory
ERROR: LOCATION <<
        /usr/src/grass/svn/trunk/dist.unknown/demolocation >> not
        available
make[2]: *** [db.login.tmp.html] Error 1
rm db.login.tmp.html
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/grass/svn/trunk/db/db.login'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/grass/svn/trunk/db'
}}}

in the above note dist. != dist.unknown.

I had a look but couldn't see where in configure's uname magic it
determines the "unknown" type. Seems to be related to cross-compiling.

?,

same thing happens with develbranch6. relbr64 builds ok.

Platform.make's `ARCH =` line is empty.

System detection is up to config.guess; we might need a newer version.

Are you sure that this isn't a leftover from a previous build?

{{{
# Set ARCH

ARCH=
if test -z "${host}"; then
ARCH="unknown"
else
ARCH="${host}"
fi
}}}

Note that Platform.make.in has:
{{{
ARCH = @host@
}}}
Although configure.in has:
{{{
AC_SUBST(ARCH)
}}}
ARCH isn't used in Platform.make.

Also, SC_CONFIG_FLAGS uses uname (which means that cross-compiling can't
work), while everything else uses $host.

Which reminds me that SC_CONFIG_FLAGS should have been discarded for 7.0.

that's in the relbr6 (which builds). In devbr6 and trunk on the same
system it is called `config.status.unknown`.

ok, following config.guess:

{{{
timestamp='2008-04-14'
...
UNAME_MACHINE=`(uname -m) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_MACHINE=unknown
UNAME_RELEASE=`(uname -r) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_RELEASE=unknown
UNAME_SYSTEM=`(uname -s) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_SYSTEM=unknown
UNAME_VERSION=`(uname -v) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_VERSION=unknown

echo "${UNAME_MACHINE}:${UNAME_SYSTEM}:${UNAME_RELEASE}:${UNAME_VERSION}"
x86_64:Linux:2.6.26-2-amd64:#1 SMP Thu May 28 21:28:49 UTC 2009

...leads to
     x86_64:Linux:*:*)
         echo x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
         exit ;;
}}}

I don't see where $host is set.

trunk$ ./configure reports:
{{{
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
...
Copying config.status to config.status.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

GRASS is now configured for: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
}}}

Platform.make now has:
{{{
ARCH = x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
}}}

weird, this time it got it.
more tests tomorrow.

It's set by AC_CANONICAL_HOST from the output of config.guess.

Comment (by hamish):

I think I figured out how I was getting "config.status.unknown".

it was because I messed up the ./configure line:
{{{
CFLAGS="-ggdb -march=amdfam10 -Wall -Werror-implicit-function-declaration"
\
   ./configure \
     --with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.5 --with-cairo \
     --with-motif --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.5-config \
     --with-readline --with-cxx --with-odbc --with-sqlite \
     --with-freetype --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \
     --without-postgres --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj \
     --enable-64bit --with-pthread \
     --with-wxwidgets=/usr/lib/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8 \
     \ #--with-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-includes=/usr/include/ffmpeg \
     --with-geos \
     2>&1 | tee config_log.txt
}}}

` \ #comment` is a problem.. causes this to happen when you run
./configure:

{{{
configure: warning: #--with-ffmpeg: invalid host type
checking host system type... Invalid configuration `#--with-ffmpeg':
machine `#--with' not recognized

checking for gcc... gcc
}}}

I don't really understand why ./configure continues weirdly, but if I get
rid of the `\ #--with-ffmpeg` line it all builds ok.

sorry for hijacking this bug with a stupid mistake,
Hamish

bash treats "\ "" as a literal space, not a word separator. This means
that the following # isn't at the beginning of a word, so it's treated as
a literal # character rather than starting a comment. The end result is an
argument of "{{{ #--with-ffmpeg}}}". As it's the first argument which
doesn't begin with a dash, it's treated as the host type.
