Source: octave Version: 3.8.1-2 Severity: important User: debian-al...@lists.debian.org Usertags: alpha Justification: Fails to build from source but built in the past.
octave FTBFS on alpha, with the following: ( echo '#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H'; echo '#include <config.h>'; echo '#endif'; moc-qt4 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -mieee src/m-editor/file-editor-interface.h ) > src/m-editor/moc-file-editor-interface.cc-t moc: Invalid argument The argument -mieee passed to moc-qt4 is not a valid argument thus causes moc-qt4 to exit. Full build log at: http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=octave&arch=alpha&ver=3.8.1-2&stamp=1399010673 The above occurs when building in the directory libgui. It occurs because the octave configure script adds -mieee to CPPFLAGS when building on Alpha. Presumably this is done to save adding -mieee to each of CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, etc., individually, nevertheless it is not correct: -mieee is not a preprocessor flag. In the Makefile in the libgui directory, CPPFLAGS is added to the call of moc-qt4. But CPPFLAGS has -mieee which causes moc-qt4 to barf. In a test build I removed CPPFLAGS from the call of moc-qt4, i.e., the following: --- octave-3.8.1/libgui/Makefile.am 2014-03-07 08:37:51.000000000 +1300 +++ octave-3.8.1-new/libgui/Makefile.am 2014-05-03 15:34:20.756281143 +1200 @@ -90,7 +90,7 @@ define moc-command ( echo '#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H'; \ echo '#include <config.h>'; \ echo '#endif'; \ - $(MOC) $(DEFS) $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(MOC_CPPFLAGS) $(liboctgui_la_CPPFLAGS) $< ) > $@-t + $(MOC) $(DEFS) $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $(MOC_CPPFLAGS) $(liboctgui_la_CPPFLAGS) $< ) > $@-t mv $@-t $@ endef diff -up octave-3.8.1/libgui/Makefile.in octave-3.8.1-new/libgui/Makefile.in --- octave-3.8.1/libgui/Makefile.in 2014-03-07 08:42:51.000000000 +1300 +++ octave-3.8.1-new/libgui/Makefile.in 2014-05-03 15:34:51.611908637 +1200 @@ -3982,7 +3982,7 @@ define moc-command ( echo '#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H'; \ echo '#include <config.h>'; \ echo '#endif'; \ - $(MOC) $(DEFS) $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(MOC_CPPFLAGS) $(liboctgui_la_CPPFLAGS) $< ) > $@-t + $(MOC) $(DEFS) $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $(MOC_CPPFLAGS) $(liboctgui_la_CPPFLAGS) $< ) > $@-t mv $@-t $@ endef which resulted with octave building to completion. However it may not be an acceptable solution as CPPFLAGS also has -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 and that did not get passed to moc-qt4. I have no idea whether that matters.
