Version: 3.8.3-21</pre><pre>Hi </pre><pre>The cpufrequtils test loop that is part of the 'custom' rule fails due to the bash-tastic for-loop syntax. I have replaced it with a while loop in the attached patch. I've tested it and it works fine.</pre>
<pre><br></pre><pre>A less important 'gotcha' is that running the custom rule means that build dependency checks are bypassed. If the uninstalled dependency is say lapack-dev, then a 20+ minute compile is a long time to waitto discover it is borked. (I am sighing from personal experience).</pre>
<pre>The following test works ($$deps would be the list of build-dep packages). I am, however, unsure how one would get $$deps from within the rules makefile.</pre><pre>if test -n "$$(dpkg-query -W $$deps 2>&1 > /dev/null)"; then\
echo "build dependencies are not fully installed";\
echo "aborting";\
exit 1;\
