Subject: core: detect and reject build paths which contain an '@'
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7007dc2bc99ad191c418c468707cdc3980273cda;p=buildroot.git

core: detect and reject build paths which contain an '@'

gcc does not build when the srcdir path contains a '@', because that
path is then substitued in a texi file as argument to an @include
directive. But then, the '@' in the path will start a command evaluation
of its own, thus breaking the build. For example, with a $(O) path set
to /home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/to@ti :

    perl ../../gcc/../contrib/texi2pod.pl ../../gcc/doc/invoke.texi > gcc.pod
    ../../gcc/doc/invoke.texi:1678: unknown command `ti'
    ../../gcc/doc/invoke.texi:1678: @include: could not find /home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/to/build/host-gcc-initial-7.3.0/build/gcc/../../gcc/../libiberty/at-file.texi

[Peter: use findstring instead of subst/compare]
