Subject: lcm: reproducible-builds: Embedded build path and usrmerge paths in Makefile

Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2022 16:29:37 -0800

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Source: lcm
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: buildpath usrmerge
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs@lists.alioth.debian.org

The build path and binary paths are embedded in
/usr/share/doc/lcm-doc/examples/Makefile:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/lcm.html

  ACLOCAL·=·${SHELL}·'/build/1st/lcm-1.3.1+repack1/missing'·aclocal-1.16
  vs.
  ACLOCAL·=·${SHELL}·'/build/2/lcm-1.3.1+repack1/2nd/missing'·aclocal-1.16

  EGREP·=·/bin/grep·-E
  vs.
  EGREP·=·/usr/bin/grep·-E

The attached patch fixes this by removing the example Makefile, which
would have to be regenerated anyways to match the system to run it on.

If removing the example Makefile is not viable, it might be possible to
sanitize the build paths, and all relevent arguments to configure
(e.g. EGREP='/bin/grep -e') to use the specified paths.

According to my local tests, With this patch applied lcm should build
reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org!

Thanks for maintaining lcm!

live well,
