#1168266

Hi Jirka,

Makefile.perf may be invoked with a "prefix" parameter:

	@echo '  HINT: use "prefix" or "DESTDIR" to install to a particular'
	@echo '        path like "make prefix=/usr/local install install-doc"'

Source: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/tools/perf/Makefile.perf#n414


E.g. the Debian "linux-tools" package makes use of that feature:

	MAKE_PERF := $(MAKE) prefix=/usr V=1 ARCH=$(KERNEL_ARCH_PERF) EXTRA_WARNINGS=-Wno-error

Source: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/kernel/dists/trunk/linux-tools/debian/build/tools/perf/Makefile?view=markup (line 29)


The "prefix" parameter is handed down from Makefile.perf to Makefile.build
because it's invoked with $(MAKE), so the command line parameters are
inherited to Makefile.build:

	$(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=perf

Source: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/tools/perf/Makefile.perf#n282


That "prefix" feature is broken in all 4.1 release candidates because a
variable definition specified on the make command line is an "overriding
variable", so this definition in line 97 of tools/build/Makefile.build
has no effect:

	prefix       := $(subst ./,,$(OUTPUT)$(dir)/)

Source: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Overriding.html


So $(prefix) contains the wrong value, yet is subsequently used in
Makefile.build, causing the build to break.


Best regards,

Lukas

It worked for me last week with OL6.

I created a standalone perf rpm with 4.1-rc6; it builds just fine with 
_prefix (rpm variable) set to /usr:

%build
# prepare directories
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

cd perf-%{kversion}

%global perf_make \
   make -s -C tools/perf V=1 WERROR=0 NO_LIBUNWIND=1 
HAVE_CPLUS_DEMANGLE=1 NO_GTK2=1 NO_STRLCPY=1 NO_BIONIC=1 prefix=%{_prefix}

%{perf_make} DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT all

###
### install
###

%install
[ "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" != "/" ] && rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
cd perf-%{kversion}
%{perf_make} DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT lib=%{_lib} install man

You're not invoking tools/perf/Makefile.perf but tools/perf/Makefile
and I would say this in line 18 avoids that prefix= is passed down
to Makefile.perf:

	# We don't want to pass along options like -j:
	unexport MAKEFLAGS

Sources:
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Options_002fRecursion.html
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/tools/perf/Makefile#n18

So the prefix parameter should have no effect at all in your case,
no matter to what you set it.

Best regards,

Lukas
