While testing Build-O-Matic on Ubuntu, it would consistently fail to
configure gcc.
Python test code:
(haiku/, buildtools/, generated/ are all subdirs of output/)
{{{
import os, subprocess, sys, commands
os.chdir('/home/mmadia/Build-O-Matic/output/generated.arm')
cmd = "../haiku/configure --use-gcc-pipe --build-cross-tools-gcc4 arm
../buildtools"
retcode = subprocess.call(cmd, shell=True)
print "\n\n\nReturn code:", retcode
}}}
Output snippet:
{{{
...
checking for bison... bison -y
checking for flex... flex
checking for yywrap in -lfl... yes
checking lex output file root... configure: error: cannot find output from
flex; giving up
make[1]: *** [configure-gmp] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/mmadia/Build-O-Matic/output/generated.mipsel/cross-tools-build/gcc'
make: *** [all] Error 2
ERROR: Building gcc failed.
}}}
Running Haiku's configure command outside of Python, completes
successfully. Only from within Python would it fail.
Here are some related mailing list threads, that DraX and I found

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-07/msg00663.html
The attached patch is based on the first link and has tested successfully
in Python in Ubuntu.
