illumos gate

The problem is anything generated by rpcgen(1).

In the past, I've dealt with this using sed in the Makefile like this:

RPCGENFLAGS = -C -M -i 0
SED_INCL='/^.include/s:\.\..*/rpcsvc:rpcsvc:'

foo_xdr.c : $(FOO_X)
$(RPCGEN) $(RPCGENFLAGS) -c -o $.tmp $(FOO_X)
sed -e $(SED_INCL) < $.tmp > $
$(RM) -f $.tmp

Would be nice if rpcgen gave you a little more control instead...

I tried to reproduce this problem, but was unable to do so. It's true that idmap_xdr.c contains an absolute path to the idmap_prot.h header, but the idmap_xdr.c file is also deleted and recreated at the beginning of every build. This happens because the file is added to the CLOBBERFILES macro in Makefile.com .

I don't see any problem here. It's true that rpcgen could be modified to generate a relative path, but that won't provide an immediate solution because the build uses rpcgen from the build host, not the one from illumos.

Makefile.com could also be modified to produce a relative include path.

What should be fixed here? Maybe the bug report should simply be closed.

i have made some change for using rpcgen from workspace(it built with tools) instead of build host.
i have found that if we have updated rpcgen it will be using only after install it to build host - it is a problem.
my changes works such as: build rpcgen with tools or by 'dmake setup' and use it from tools proto instead of build host.

I'll look after this bug. I have a simple solution that solves the problem.
