From Bugzilla #527:
if you have a kernel with say a '-g' in it, then KERNEL_DIR will include the
'-g' in it, CFLAGS will include the '-g' in it, and then the grep will think you
have -g in your CFLAGS
for example, if you use the grsec or gentoo patchset:
$ uname -r
2.6.19.1-grsec
$ uname -r
2.6.19-gentoo-r2
then your CFLAGS will look like:
-O2 -Wall -Wunused -I"/lib/modules/2.6.19.1-grsec/build"/include -Iinclude/
-DIPTABLES_VERSION=\"1.3.7\"
and the greedy check grep will incorrectly flag this:
egrep -e '-g|-pg|IPTC_DEBUG'
# -g -pg -DIPTC_DEBUG
.PHONY: check
check:
- @if echo $(CFLAGS) | egrep -e '-g|-pg|IPTC_DEBUG' >/dev/null; then echo Remove debugging flags; exit 1; else exit 0; fi
+ @if echo $(CFLAGS) | egrep -e '(^|[[:space:]])(-g|-pg|-DIPTC_DEBUG)([[:space:]]|$)' >/dev/null; then echo Remove debugging flags; exit 1; else exit 0; fi
