Source: gnustep-base Version: 1.14.0-2 Severity: serious Unfortunately the package failed to build on arm, which blocks the whole GNUstep transition:
[...] checking FFI library usage... ffcall checking if ffcall trampolines work... no none You have ffcall, but it does not work properly. [...] configure: error: Incomplete support for ffi functionality. make: *** [debian/configure-stamp] Error 1 [...] The build log is available at http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=gnustep-base&ver=1.14.0-2&arch=arm&stamp=1194080961&file=log. The configure test tries to compile and run config/config.trampoline.c which is basically the same as ffcall's ffcall/callback/trampoline_r/test1.c. AFAICS the ffcall's testsuite also failed on arm. It seems to me that the patch at http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=9468 was never accepted upstream. Maybe it's worth trying disabling it in the Debian's ffcall package and retrying -base on arm (if ffcall builds on arm, of course). I'll try to investigate this further, just filing this bug to get more eyes focused. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-486 Locale: LANG=bg_BG.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=bg_BG.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
