package/pkg-python: use a shell expansion for sysconfigdata_name
Currently, GNU Make expands the Python SYSCONFIGDATA_NAME variable;
however, when building with per-package directories, this variable is
not set because the evaluation of this variable occurs before buildroot
creates the per-package directories of a given package.
This can be easily demonstrated with that trivial Makefile:
$ cat Makefile
BLA = $(wildcard bla)
all:
@echo 'BLA=$(BLA)'
@touch bla
@echo 'BLA=$(BLA)'
$ make
BLA=
BLA=
$ make
BLA=bla
BLA=bla
I.e. the variables are evaluated at the beginning of a recipe, not for
each line of the recipe.
There are two solutions to fix this problem:
- add a step between "patch" and "configure," which would evaluate all
of the variables after creating the per-package directories;
- evaluate SYSCONFIGDATA_NAME via a shell expansion instead of
Makefile, to postpone the effective ex[ansion to until after the
file has been created.
Even though the first option is semantically the best solution, this is
also very intrusive, especially since python3 is so far the only case
where we would need it. The second option however is more expedient, adn
so this is what we're doing here.
We introduce PKG_PYTHON_SYSCONFIGDATA_PATH to avoid duplication and to
make the following line easier to read.
Then PKG_PYTHON_SYSCONFIGDATA_NAME is actually defined as a back-tick
shell expansion (although back-ticks have their drawbacks, using $(...)
in Makefile is not trivial either):
- we test that the file does exist, to cover the python2 and python3
cases: with python2, the file does not exist, so we want to expand
to an empty string; 'basename' only works on the filename, and does
not check the file actually exists;
- if the file exist, we get its basename without the .py extension,
and this makes our expansion;
- the "|| true" is added to ensure the old behavior of returning an
empty string if the file does not exist still works, when the
expansion is attempted in a shell where 'set -e' is in effect (the
test would fail with python2, but this is not an error).
