From 028568d84da3cfca49f5f846eeeef01441d70451 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2017 17:07:28 +0900 Subject: kbuild: revert $(realpath ...) to $(shell cd ... && /bin/pwd) I thought commit 8e9b46679923 ("kbuild: use $(abspath ...) instead of $(shell cd ... && /bin/pwd)") was a safe conversion, but it changed the behavior. $(abspath ...) / $(realpath ...) does not expand shell special characters, such as '~'. Here is a simple Makefile example: ---------------->8---------------- $(info /bin/pwd: $(shell cd ~/; /bin/pwd)) $(info abspath: $(abspath ~/)) $(info realpath: $(realpath ~/)) all: @: ---------------->8---------------- $ make /bin/pwd: /home/masahiro abspath: /home/masahiro/workspace/~ realpath: This can be a real problem if 'make O=~/foo' is invoked from another Makefile or primitive shell like dash. This commit partially reverts 8e9b46679923.
