Hello,
I've just committed the last "big" patch to convert the asn dissection
generators Makefiles. From my point of view there are a few things left:
1) at least on my system when I call the generator for external cnf
files, MAKEFILEFLAGS somehow gets set to "w". This looks like
"(cd ../x509ce && make w generate_export)" in the logs.
2) Remove the pathname from lines like #line 1 "./packet-snmp-template.c"
to make the generated code independent of in-/out-of-tree builds.
3) Normal build options fail in several cases due to circular -exp.cnf
dependencies.
4) Don't generate all the dissectors in case of a top-level "make all".
I'll try to look at 1) again later with some distance, currently I'm
unable to figure out what's going on.
I tried to do 2) but failed due to lack of python knowledge (and thus
understanding of the code).
We need a solution to problem 3) and the solution I see is to add an
option to asn2wrs to *only* generate -exp.cnf files without doing the
rest of the job.
Should I address 4) or leave the behaviour as it is now? The files are
not copied over into epan/dissectors/ but I'd like to get some
opionions.
Ciao
Joerg
