Subj: question about same file name's build export
Dear odehelp,
Here is the scenario:
========================
Two header files with the same name:
/spec1170/sandbox/sb/src/kernel/arch/alpha/signal.h
/spec1170/sandbox/sb/src/usr/include/sys/signal.h
Will issuing of two export commands suffice? :
From /spec1170/sandbox/sb/src/kernel/include/sys
and from /spec1170/sandbox/sb/src/usr/include :->
build export_signal.h
========================
Or, do I need to issue the third one also:
From
/spec1170/sandbox/sb/src/kernel/arch/alpha :->
build export_signal.h
========================
thanks for any help,
With regards,
Sunil.

Subj: Re: question about same file name's build export
I'm not sure what you're trying to do from your description, but there are
five Makefiles containing "signal.h" as a target:
Note that normally, <signal.h> is a symlink to <sys/signal.h> and that
<sys/signal.h> includes <machine/signal.h>. The magic of symbolic links is
not used to make /usr/include/alpha a link to /usr/sys/include/alpha, for
reasons I can't perceive.
kernel/include/arch/alpha/Makefile
installs usr/sys/include/arch/alpha/signal.h
(also referenced as usr/sys/include/machine/signal.h)
* usr/include/alpha/Makefile
installs usr/include/alpha/signal.h
(also referenced as usr/include/machine/signal.h)
The following two references appear to overlap in their action.
kernel/include/sys/Makefile
installs usr/sys/include/sys/signal.h
* usr/include/sys/Makefile
installs usr/sys/include/sys/signal.h
and exports to usr/include/sys/signal.h
Also, there is:
* usr/include/Makefile
creates symlink /usr/include/signal.h -> sys/signal.h
To do a complete job, you must invoke all five instances. To populate an
export tree (where there is no usr/sys), you need to invoke the three I've
marked with a "*".
