    build: allow automatic git submodule updates to be disabled · f62bbee5
    Daniel P. Berrange 提交于
    Some people building QEMU use VPATH builds where the source directory is on a
    read-only volume. In such a case 'scripts/git-submodules.sh update' will always
    fail and users are required to run it manually themselves on their original
    writable source directory.
    
    While this is already supported, it is nice to give users a command line flag
    to configure to permanently disable automatic submodule updates, as it means
    they won't get hard to diagnose failures from git-submodules.sh at an arbitrary
    later date.
    
    This patch thus introduces a flag '--disable-git-update' which will prevent
    'make' from ever running 'scripts/git-submodules.sh update'. It will still run
    the 'status' command to determine if a submodule update is needed, but when it
    does this it'll simply stop and print a message instructing the developer what
    todo. eg
    
    $ ./configure  --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --disable-git-update
    ...snip...
    
    $ make
      GEN     config-host.h
      GEN     trace/generated-tcg-tracers.h
      GEN     trace/generated-helpers-wrappers.h
      GEN     trace/generated-helpers.h
      GEN     trace/generated-helpers.c
      GEN     module_block.h
    
    GIT submodule checkout is out of date. Please run
      scripts/git-submodule.sh update ui/keycodemapdb
    from the source directory checkout /home/berrange/src/virt/qemu
