Filerules problem + missing dependencies (haiku build on Linux)

[cprodescu]

This ticket refers to dependencies which are not specified in ReadMe.cross-compile.

The host system was an ubuntu lucid 10.04.1 (Base system created via debootstrap + installed tools listed in Readme.cross-compile).

While building cross-compile gcc4 x86 and then haiku, the following dependencies were needed:

• wget
• unzip
• g++ (kinda obvious, but not specified)

Additionally, archives pseudo-dependencies in

• build/jam/FileRules

can lead to broken builds.

1. Build-tools were generated via:

   ./configure --build-cross-tools-gcc4 x86 ../buildtools/
   

2. Haiku jam branch was installed

   cd ../build-tools/jam
   make
   ./jam0 install
   

3. While building Haiku via:

   jam -q haiku-vmware-image
   

   the following errors were encountered:

...
MkDir1 generated/objects/linux/x86/release/build/libroot 
C++ generated/objects/linux/x86/release/build/libroot/atomic.o 
cc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
...

We install g++ and proceed...

...
MkDir1 generated/download 
DownloadLocatedFile1 generated/download/pci.ids 
/bin/sh: wget: not found
...

We install wget and proceed...

ExtractZipArchive1 generated/build_packages/icu-devel-4.4.1-2010-07-26 
/bin/sh: unzip: not found

We install unzip and proceed...

The interesting part is that now, due to the pseudo-dependency between the icu-devel-4.4.1-2010-07-26 directory and the real files which should be unzipped in icu-devel-4.4.1-2010-07-26/develop/headers/3rdparty/, at the next run, the directory exists (even though the unzip has failed!) and the ExtractZipArchive1 will be skipped and this will result in compile failure for the locale sources ...

Thanks for the patch!

Ingo, the patch is functional as far as ensuring the directories will contain the extracted targets. Do you see any issues with it?

The patch looks good as far as I can say. If it has been tested, it can be applied.
