no problem, here you can find the irc log (if needed) [1], but yes, you are right :) >AFAICS, the build can't succeed, as a required dependency isn't installed. >So the build failing seems to be the correct behaviour to me. Nope, the question is: the configure should fail, not the build. (that the overall process should fail is indeed correct) >I don't see that as being an improvement. >Is your complaint that the error that the build fails with in this case >doesn't clearly point to the missing package as being the problem? > nope >If so, it would be very useful to show how the build currently fails >in this case. you can grab poedit from unstable and try to build for experimental, with libcpprest-dev and libsecret-1-dev enabled as build-dependency without the webview enabled. (I did it and the log is there [2]) Anyway, I don't really think this is needed, the reproducibility is trivial. (mostly quoting irc) WX_CONFIG_CHECK([3.0.0], [WXFOUND=1], [WXFOUND=0], [webview], [--unicode]) should throw an error if webview is not there. this isn't a problem in autoconf, since: (starting from a pbuilder clean environment) apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev wx-config --libs webview -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -pthread -lwx_gtk2u_webview-3.0 -lwx_baseu-3.0 the returned list should be empty, since wx-webview isn't there. (autoconf relies on this check, so it doesn't fail, leading to a link time failure) [1] http://irc.mapreri.org/logs/oftc/%23debian-devel/2015/%23debian-devel_2015-05-27.log.html [2] http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#experimental/poedit/1.8.1-5/buildlog hope this helps :) cheers (and thanks), Gianfranco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
