Package: libpopt-dev Version: 1.7-5 Severity: normal
First note this is not a bug in the debian binary package. This is a bug in the original popt-1.7 tarball. However I sent it to the "official" popt maintainer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and the mail bounced (I read in a separate bug report that he is no longer with red hat and nobody knows where he is). Lest the patch be lost, I am sending it here. I downloaded popt 1.7 and tried to cross-compile it on Debian/Unstable for Windows. It came close to working. However to get it to actually work I had to use this patch (and then rerun autogen.sh). The @INTLLIBS@ bit is needed to get libintl to work with libpopt.la. Although no gettext functions are used, when you #include <libintl.h> there is code that redefines printf as libintl_printf. So without linking against this library libintl_printf will not be available causing a link-time error. Note that this only happens when compiling against libintl in GNU gettext, not when compiling against the gettext provided by glibc. The mkinstalldirs change should be pretty self-evident. $(MKINSTALLDIRS) is already defined to point to the mkinstalldirs script in the $(top_builddir). Yet a line below $(top_builddir) is prepended again when $(mkinstalldirs) is defined. The result is that $(top_builddir), which is "..", is prepended twice and $(mkinstalldirs_ points to the wrong place. This causes "make install" to fail. The patch (and more explanation) is also available at http://freeciv.org/~jdorje/crosscompile/cross-compiling.html. -jason short Index: Makefile.am =================================================================== RCS file: /home/jdorje/CVSROOT/popt-1.7/Makefile.am,v retrieving revision 1.1.1.1 diff -u -r1.1.1.1 Makefile.am --- Makefile.am 15 Jan 2005 20:35:06 -0000 1.1.1.1 +++ Makefile.am 15 Jan 2005 21:22:51 -0000 @@ -34,6 +34,7 @@ include_HEADERS = popt.h lib_LTLIBRARIES = libpopt.la libpopt_la_SOURCES = popt.c findme.c poptparse.c poptconfig.c popthelp.c +libpopt_la_LIBADD = @INTLLIBS@ man_MANS = popt.3 Index: po/Makefile.in.in =================================================================== RCS file: /home/jdorje/CVSROOT/popt-1.7/po/Makefile.in.in,v retrieving revision 1.1.1.1 diff -u -r1.1.1.1 Makefile.in.in --- po/Makefile.in.in 15 Jan 2005 20:35:08 -0000 1.1.1.1 +++ po/Makefile.in.in 15 Jan 2005 22:29:35 -0000 @@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ INSTALL = @INSTALL@ INSTALL_DATA = @INSTALL_DATA@ MKINSTALLDIRS = @MKINSTALLDIRS@ -mkinstalldirs = $(SHELL) `case "$(MKINSTALLDIRS)" in /*) echo "$(MKINSTALLDIRS)" ;; *) echo "$(top_builddir)/$(MKINSTALLDIRS)" ;; esac` +mkinstalldirs = $(SHELL) `case "$(MKINSTALLDIRS)" in /*) echo "$(MKINSTALLDIRS)" ;; *) echo "$(MKINSTALLDIRS)" ;; esac` CC = @CC@ GMSGFMT = @GMSGFMT@ -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libpopt-dev depends on: ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Development Librari ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
