Subject: why would a ptest makefile patch set "DESTDIR = /usr/share/xmlsec1"?
Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2024 06:46:03 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ad358f7-d5e-ec36-c7ad-aa3e8c78216c@crashcourse.ca> (raw)
back story: i'm writing a fairly detailed doc on ptest for
colleagues (which i am willing to share with YP docs after i finish),
and am trying to use examples right out of the OE source, which is why
i'm flagging oddities that are hard to explain.
in particular, this line:
https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/recipes-support/xmlsec1/xmlsec1/makefile-ptest.patch#n33
i've seen lots of examples of recipe patches to add "install-ptest"
targets to the Makefile, but i'm baffled by the setting of DESTDIR to
that directory just before the target definition -- the default, of
course, being ${D}/${PTEST_PATH}.
i looked around that recipe to see if maybe that /usr/share dir was
being added to the contents of the ptest package but i don't see that.
is there some weird functionality to that assignment that i'm just
missing?
that recipe is a nice example of simple ptest, but that one line
kind of stands out as inexplicable.
