Subject: Ye olde Apple mktemp
Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2019 20:27:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a7epz46e.fsf@ra.horus-it.com> (raw)
Another quirk that occurs during the configuration phase on older macOS
versions (when they were still called OS X, actually) in the MacPorts
build farm:
Checking for GMime session key extraction support...
usage: mktemp [-d] [-q] [-t prefix] [-u] template ...
mktemp [-d] [-q] [-u] -t prefix
No.
Hooray for that ancient mktemp binary. :-/ The following local patch
solves the issue for me:
diff --git a/configure b/configure
index 8b80f0e0..fa715946 100755
--- a/configure
+++ b/configure
@@ -529,7 +529,7 @@ int main () {
return 0;
}
EOF
- if ! TEMP_GPG=$(mktemp -d); then
+ if ! TEMP_GPG=$(mktemp -d -t /tmp); then
printf 'No.\nCould not make tempdir for testing session-key support.\n'
errors=$((errors + 1))
elif ${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${gmime_cflags} _check_session_keys.c ${gmime_ldflags} -o _check_session_keys \
Alas, "mktemp -d -t /tmp" is incompatible with GNU coreutils' mktemp,
while "mktemp -d -p /tmp" is not understood by Apple's variant because
of the "-p". I don't know what syntax would be universally acceptable.
Is there a way to pass platform-dependent parameters to mktemp with the
current build mechanics?
