You are running into precisely the brokenness described by this comment. Your use-case is why it is considered broken.

That's a sh(1) variable reference. What you've done here is not "unexpanded", it's "expanded, but not recursively" - for instance, in a typical Unix build with default settings, that's equivalent to

    UNEXPANDED_BINDIR='${exec_prefix}/bin'

At best that's misleading naming.

prefix, localstatedir, sysconfdir, bindir etc. are all AC_SUBST'd anyway, so you should just be able to use

prefix=@prefix@
exec_prefix=@exec_prefix@
bindir=@bindir@

and so on.

The right way to do this is something like:

session_bus_services_dir=${datadir}/dbus-1-services

No, daemondir really does need to be its own variable - otherwise, this will break the functionality of --with-dbus-daemondir in configure.ac.

You could have a variable that is unexpanded and defaults to '${bindir}' - I would suggest calling it dbus_daemondir - and a separate expanded version from

    AS_AC_EXPAND([DBUS_DAEMONDIR], ["$dbus_daemondir"])

for hard-coding into binaries and bus/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist (only used on Unix and Mac OS, respectively).

The fact that we manually expand *anything* is arguably a bug, but it's one we're stuck with for backwards compatibility in D-Bus-as-an-OS-feature, which is its most important use case.

It isn't, if you substitute all the layers of variables like

    prefix=@prefix@
    datarootdir=@datarootdir@
    datadir=@datadir@
    session_bus_services_dir=${datadir}/dbus-1-services

which typically expands to

    prefix=/usr
    datarootdir=${prefix}/share
    datadir=${datarootdir}
    session_bus_services_dir=${datadir}/dbus-1-services

which pkg-config evaluates at runtime to

    session_bus_services_dir=/usr/share/dbus-1-services

as desired (but if you used pkg-config --define-variable=prefix=opt it would expand it to /opt/share/dbus-1-services, and so on).

This still performs one level of expansion. Is that really what you want?

I would have expected that you'd want

if test -z "$with_dbus_daemondir"; then
    DBUS_DAEMONDIR=$EXPANDED_BINDIR
    dbus_daemondir='$bindir'
else
    DBUS_DAEMONDIR=$with_dbus_daemondir
    dbus_daemondir=$with_dbus_daemondir

so that in a normal Unix installation, dbus-1.pc would say

prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
dbus_daemondir=${exec_prefix}/bin

and on msys it would be something like

prefix=/c/mingw
exec_prefix=${prefix}
dbus_daemondir=${exec_prefix}/bin

(With your patch it would be ${prefix}/bin - one level of expansion applied to the default value of ${bindir} - but the most correct thing would be to have zero levels of expansion.)

Er, that should have said '${bindir}' not '$bindir'.

To be consistent with the name of the variable in the .pc file, maybe daemondir would be a better name for the unexpanded version.

I think this would be fine as one big commit - I don't see any reason why it would make sense to apply some, but not all, of it.

That should have said:

prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
bindir=${exec_prefix}/bin
daemondir=${bindir}

Getting that result might mean you need to add bindir=@bindir@ to the .pc files.

You shouldn't have to do all that. If you've got it right, "--prefix=/mingw" should be enough.

So docdir='${prefix}/${docdir}', with infinite recursion when evaluated? That's not going to work very well.

Yes, but it's kind of optional. Datarootdir is needed there for autotools first and foremost, because datadir=${datarootdir} in that case. In cmake datadir is explicitly set as ${prefix}/share, so datarootdir is not really needed. But it's OK to have it too.(In reply to comment #12)

I get dbus_daemondir=${exec_prefix}/bin with my patch, when building with cmake. What am i doing wrong?
Shell expansion always baffled me, to be honest.

I like to not to rely on autotools' defaults, they are wrong sometimes (i build lots of things, this (minus the --with-dbus-daemondir) is basically a template i use everywhere).

Ah, that. No, i guess i wasn't making things clear enough.
This is what i do:

prefix=/mingw
docdir=share/doc/${name}/${ver}

...

if test "x${install_dirs}" == "x"; then install_dirs="--datarootdir=\\\${prefix}/share --docdir=\\\${prefix}/\${docdir} --sbindir=\\\${prefix}/sbin --libexecdir=\\\${prefix}/libexec --sysconfdir=\\\${prefix}/etc --localstatedir=\\\${prefix}/var"; fi

...

eval "install_dirs=\"$install_dirs\""

...

  ./configure \
    --prefix=${prefix} \
    --enable-silent-rules \

If you find yourself using eval, it's usually a sign that something has gone wrong.

More specifically, with no special configure command-line options, the right thing would be for the resulting .pc file to contain a line «dbus_daemondir=${exec_prefix}/bin» and a line «exec_prefix=${prefix}» and a line «prefix=/usr/local», so that pkg-config can do all the levels of expansion.

(Deliberately using non-standard quotes to avoid confusion with sh(1) syntax :-)

If that's the case already with your patchset, then I'll need to look at what's going on in configure and why it works correctly when I expected that it wouldn't.

That's fine for your personal meta-build-system, but by making all these command-line options explicit, you're hiding bugs in configure scripts. When you're testing patches to be submitted, please also test them with that simpler situation (no command-line options, or --prefix=/mingw and nothing else) and check that they are working as intended, and you aren't ignoring (or creating!) configure-script bugs.

dbus needs to work in multiple configurations, not just your personal configuration - indeed, the most important configuration for it to work in is «--prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var», because that's what Linux distributions will be using.

Ugh, now I'm confusing myself. It should ideally have «dbus_daemondir=${bindir}» and «bindir=${exec_prefix}/bin» and «exec_prefix=${prefix}» and «prefix=/usr/local» - in other words, pkg-config should be doing *all* of the levels of expansion.

and documentation goes into /mingw/share/doc/dbus.

If i add --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var, i get this in the .pc file:

with obvious consequences (conf files in <instdir>/etc instead of <instdir><prefix>/etc , same with /var).

Without --prefix (but with --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var) i get this:

[ ] daemondir (by the way, is it "daemondir" or "dbus_daemondir"?)
[ ] bindir
[x] exec_prefix
[x] prefix

So, we need to:
add bindir=${exec_prefix}/bin (config.status says «S["bindir"]="${exec_prefix}/bin"», so just setting it to $bindir in configure will probably work)
fix daemondir to not to be expanded (i.e. use $bindir instead of $EXPANDED_BINDIR)

With the extra patch that i'm attaching, i get (configured with --prefix=/mingw and --enable..., just as the first config presented in this comment):

This all looks good except that daemondir has been expanded once: its value is a copy of the value of ${bindir}, not the unexpanded string «${bindir}».

Would you mind combining all the patches you want applied for this bug into one, or perhaps two if you want to keep Attachment #95342 [details] separate? I don't think the intermediate states with some, but not all, of your three most recent patches make sense; it'll be clearer to just get it right in one go.

I think this should probably be

    dbus_daemondir='${bindir}'

with the quotes.

The fact that configure is a shell script means that you're applying one level of shell expansion by leaving it unquoted: after executing this line, the value of the dbus_daemondir variable will be something like «${exec_prefix}/bin», whereas for the maximum amount of scope for redefining things when invoking pkg-config, it would be better for it to be «${bindir}».

The default is datadir='${datarootdir}', so as far as I can see, you will need

Sorry, no, I am not willing to commit this with known regressions. The cmake side of things can be pretty simple - only the things that now work need to still work, and in particular it doesn't necessarily need to leave strings unexpanded like you're doing with the Autotools side - but it does need to exist.

As far as I can see, that means, at a minimum,

set(bindir ${EXPANDED_BINDIR})
set(datadir ${EXPANDED_DATADIR})
set(sysconfdir ${EXPANDED_SYSCONFDIR})
set(dbus_daemondir ${DBUS_DAEMONDIR})

Actually, this would work, for now, but only because configure contains explicit compatibility code:

# If the template does not know about datarootdir, expand it.
# FIXME: This hack should be removed a few years after 2.60.

This doesn't seem like something that will continue to work forever, and provokes warnings:

config.status: creating dbus-1.pc

Actually, no, I take that back. The CMake build system doesn't currently install .pc files at all, which is a bug, but means it isn't a regression if the CMake build system doesn't substitute everything that needs to be substituted.
