Package: systemd Version: 204-6 Severity: wishlist This is mostly a brain dump, because I am not going to pursue this further until #727708 is resolved at least.
In http://bugs.debian.org/727708#2160, I realized that libsystemd-daemon is not actually available on non-linux, even though it can be compiled and all its code turns into a noop. The reason for this is the build system in the first place. A number of non-optional dependencies are linux-only (e.g. libcap) and thus a number of changes are necessary to the autotools config files. I am not sure if those changes would be accepted upstream, and certainly there is potential for them to break given that not many people compile the code on non-linux (only Debian AFAIK). One possibility suggested by Tollef is to have a separate Makefile just for src/libsystemd-daemon/, but then we don’t get all the global flags with which the systemd source is compiled. This may or may not be a deal-breaker, given that all the code turns into a nop anyway. The current (204-6) compiler invocation on Linux for libsystemd-daemon is: ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -pipe -Wall -Wextra -Wno-inline -Wundef -Wformat=2 -Wformat-security -Wformat-nonliteral -Wlogical-op -Wsign-compare -Wmissing-include-dirs -Wold-style-definition -Wpointer-arith -Winit-self -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wfloat-equal -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -Wredundant-decls -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-noreturn -Wshadow -Wendif-labels -Wcast-align -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -Wwrite-strings -Wno-long-long -Wno-overlength-strings -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-missing-field-initializers -Wno-unused-result -Werror=overflow -ffast-math -fno-common -fdiagnostics-show-option -fno-strict-aliasing -fvisibility=hidden -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -fvisibility=hidden -DSD_EXPORT_SYMBOLS -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -version-info 0:10:0 -Wl,--version-script=../src/libsystemd-daemon/libsystemd-daemon.sym -Wl,-z,relro -o libsystemd-daemon.la -rpath /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu src/libsystemd-daemon/libsystemd_daemon_la-sd-daemon.lo -ldl -lrt Maybe there is a way to have a standalone Makefile that is used on non-Linux, which contains the compiler invocation that is used on Linux and is updated by the Debian developer who uploads the package. It’s not a very beautiful solution, but it is as close to the Linux compilation as possible. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
