Package: findutils Version: 4.2.30-1 Severity: normal When cross-building, findutils becomes confused. Upstream carries a regexprops.texi file which findutils expects to be able to rebuild, so it deletes it during a clean. Later, the cross build fails because:
make[3]: Entering directory
`/opt/emdebian/trunk/f/findutils/trunk/findutils-4.2.30/doc' echo
"WARNING: ../gnulib/lib/regex.h is newer than regexprops.texi but
regexprops.texi cannot be rebuilt because we are cross-compiling.
Continuing anyway." >&2 WARNING: ../gnulib/lib/regex.h is newer than
regexprops.texi but regexprops.texi cannot be rebuilt because we are
cross-compiling. Continuing anyway.
...
find.texi:3116: @include `regexprops.texi': No such file or directory.
makeinfo: Removing output file `find.info' due to errors; use --force
to preserve. make[3]: *** [find.info] Error 1
One way to solve this would be to make doc/ a conditional subdirectory
so that cross-builds can simply not bother running make in doc/ by
specifying --disable-texi to ./configure.
Alternatively, whatever is detecting the cross-build should also ensure
that if a file cannot be rebuilt during a cross-build, it should not be
removed during a cross-build clean. ;-)
The first build appeared fine - subsequent builds fail.
