Package: rxvt-unicode
Version: 7.9-2
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source
You can try this on debian/lenny:
# apt-get source rxvt-unicode
# cd rxvt-unicode-7.9
# ./autogen.sh
# ./debian/rules build
<snip>
In file included from logging.C:40:
ptytty.h:36:4: error: #error cannot build with utmp support - no utmp
or utmpx struct found
Why would I run autogen?
I wanted to make some changes to urxvt which included changing the
configure.ac, and thus I needed to run ./autogen.sh script.
It broke the build. So I went back to the clean sources to make sure
that it wasn't my diff that broke things.
Analysis:
The bug is caused by the configure script improperly generating the
config.h file. There are actually a lot of differences between the
config.h generated by packaged configure (created by autogen 2.59), and
that which is generated by the configure created by autogen 2.61.
In this case it's this:
/* Define location of utmpx */
-#define UTMPX_FILE "/var/run/utmp"
+/* #undef UTMPX_FILE */
/* Define location of utmp */
-#define UTMP_FILE "/var/run/utmp"
+/* #undef UTMP_FILE */
I am really confused how the same configure.ac could end up creating so
different config.h files...
# diff -u ../config.h-working config.h | diffstat
